tranquilité et intimité tout est très beau et très propre par contre assez dispendieux

In its current state this Koa is less functional. My tent was really far from the closest bathroom. Tent sites are weird with very slopy driveways. The amenities are not on par with other koa campgrounds. Hopefully this location will eventually build up to be as good as the previous one was.

Je suis une habituée de ce terrain de camping qui était autrefois le North Pole campground. Je l'adorais pour son côté rustique (majoritairement des sites avec tente) et le service jusqu'à 20h-21h. Il ne reste très peu de site avec tente et ceux-ci sont loin des sanitaires. Le site est très bien entretenu, propre et le personnel est courtois. Mais je m'y sens beaucoup moins en nature qu'a

Totally disappointed in this campground. Roads full of pot holes thru out, sites are muddy, no cable and poor wifi connection. All this for $80.00 a night. I think not.

Too expensive. Staff at front desk not very helpful. Wanted to get on a waiting list for full hook ups and was told to go to the website and check. Wanted to stay an extra day and told no sites available. Then got a text about extending my stay. KOA seems more interested in catering to cabins than tent and trailer campers. .

We are sorry that you were disappointed. Due to the high demand for our sites this year we are not able to keep a waitlist. The best way to check for cancellations is on our website. Unfortunately, that's also why you were unable to extend your stay. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Beautiful wooded campsites. Clean and nice bathrooms except the shower is push button and too hot; was told it couldn’t be adjusted. Also dump station is not on the way out; you have to drive around and back into the campground to get to it - very inconvenient!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are glad you liked our wooded campsites. Unfortunately, every guest has a different idea of what is too hot and too cold in the showers. We are working toward upgrading our bathhouses and rectifying this issue soon. Thanks for your patience. Happy camping!

Très beau séjour pour une 2e année, et plusieurs années précédentes à l'ancien Koa Lake Placid. PAR CONTRE l'augmentation importante des tarifs pour 2024 fera possiblement en sorte que j'irai ailleurs. Très déçue de cette augmentation de 50$ par nuit !!!

Going through the campsites looking for your site. Road very bumpy. They could fix the road. Also you could smell the sewer. We only had electric and water . On a good note. Bathrooms and showers were very nice and clean.

Great stay. Clean room. Had everything we needed. Will go back. Cabin was clean.

Wooded campsite, quiet. Clean facilities. Nice camp store. Close to Lake Placid, and Olympic legacy sites. Our second visit.

The campground was quiet and pleasant. The roads are rough and in need of repair. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. We will keep up our fight with the roads. Improved road quality is on our to-do list for the near future.

Amazing!! Park was clean, staff wonderful, atmosphere breathtaking! You have done an amazing job at transitioning. We will be going on the direct site as well to clarify to people just how amazing it is and shun the negative comments we read prior. It takes time to transition and most “normal people” would be compassionate ! Good job and Josh what a lovely person to chat with!! Hats off to

I had reservations for three nights, I only spent the 1st night. It rained so hard I had a stream running through my site so I ended getting a hotel in Lake placid.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize for the rain. It definitely makes the camping experience more of a challenge. We hope you will try us again on a sunny weekend.

Very good experience. Spacious sites. Bathroom's were clean. Friendly staff. Definitely would go back. Some improvements: Longer store hours. Answer phones. Need to correct website, still under old place.

The facility was clean, tent sites were very nice and some were nice and secluded in the back. Gift shop was lovely. Staff very kind and helpful. Trails in the back and plenty to check out in the area!! Great little base camp for all kinds of adventures.

We were very disappointed. Did not know the location had been changed. There is no comparison with the old site. No pool, no mini golf, no evening activities. Store closes at 5:00. Our Deluxe Cabin was right on the dusty road. No privacy. Toilet was loose/unstable. Dirty towels left in the BR. No access to River. Have been coming to KOA Whiteface for over 40 years. Very expensive for value

Horrible, the campground moved in an other place and did not advised us. Absolutely no amenities, no pool no nothing....old and dirty for twice the price...
Sep 11, 2023
Loved the new location--we were anxious because we loved the other site. Facilities were very clean. Our cabin was beautiful and the refrigerator was a plus! Didn't know we would have a grill so will plan to cook next time. my teenage daughters loved the Nintendo in the Game Room. Wi-Fi signal was reliable, too. Great train ride and tie-dyed shirts! Can't wait to come back next year.

Unfortunately we expected a stay like when your Fox Run Rd KOA was operational so we were disappointed that there was no pool, no communal lodge and easy access to river from property. Probably wouldn't stay again unless upgrades to bring standards back to prior experience.

Campsite was great.Good privacy, quiet hours followed, showers worked,clean restrooms. All the good things come to an end when it comes to the wifi.I called them to specifically ask about wifi and I was assured they have strong wifi even at the campsite.Thats a LIE! It only works near the office, zero signal at the campsites.T-mobile has spotty LTE. Please dont stay here if you need wifi.

Great location to everything we wanted to do. Campsite was clean and taken care of. Store was very nice. Cons: Fire pit was way to close to the road on our site. The Staff drive those golf carts a little fast! See you next year!

The campground was very nice and clean. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming, the sites were huge which is nice with the fifthwheel. My only negative for this visit is that there are a few really large pine trees that were just leaking pine pitch on everything. If it were a state campground I understand but a 100$ a night campground ?

I've stayed at this location twice now, 6 years apart, and the quality of the site was just as I remembered. Everything is so clean, the staff friendly, and it's the perfect getaway for those of us who like to be in nature but who don't like to 'rough it.' Plus it's nice to have the option of a/c and tv as well in case it gets too hot or it rains. Thank you KOA Whiteface!

My whole campsite was sloping. The flattest area on the whole site (which was not flat at all) - had a giant pointy rock protruding from the ground. Despite trying different spots around the site, we were unable to find a flat spot for our 6 month old baby to sleep. As a result, he was rolling all night which is poses a potential suffocation hazard. My wife and I did not sleep at all.

Very clean and kept up park. We were on an RV site with full hookup that was very spacious. Front desk people were very friendly as well as the workers throughout the campground. My only complaint would be that the 5mph speed limit wasn't adhered to very well. Many cars were well over the speed limit as well as the golf carts from the workers. Too many little kids around that could be dangerous.

Thank you for choosing us for your trip, and for your review. We are glad that you found our staff friendly and helpful! We will certainly keep an eye out for excessive speed in the future.

We had been going to the old fox farm rd location for over 30 years and had spent many Labor Day weekends there over the years. New location is a let down by comparison. Largely, it feels like it’s still under development with no pool, no food available, limited store hours, etc. all of this for nearly twice the price. Staff was helpful and pull thru sites were fine but it’ll never be the sa
