I rented out the smalles cabins, they are perfect for my family and right next to the woods/hills (instead of being surrounded by other cabins and playground, pool, etc) which is ho we prefer to. But the cabing smelled stuffy and had plenty of spider webs and caves (I don't mind them much tbh but I am not sure others would feel the same way). The staff is very friendly and kind. The store doesn't carry much food items, but does have the basic I guess. The smaller bath house closest to the smallest cabins are locked (been there twice and it's the same), so you gotta walk up to the bigger bath house next to the office/entrance. Overall very clean and full of deers, squirrels, birds...love it.
The KOA is in a perfect location! We came up here on a short weekend visit to hike and go sledding. We rented one of the lodges (really a small four-person cabin). It was set up with a full bed, two bunk beds and a fold out futon. It was clean. Well maintained, stayed warm. The facility itself has plenty of places for walking your dog to include a small dog park. The office has most of the things you need. We were there out of season so of course a lot of the touristy stuff is not there at the moment. All in all a great location. Highly recommend if you're visiting Harpers Ferry to stay here.
Amazing place! Very kind staff, awesome campground, great facilities. There are a lot of spots, but you don't feel like you're sitting on top of your neighbors, which is nice! Highly recommended - we'll be back!
Harpers Ferry KOA is a great campground. We stayed in our own travel trailer but they do have nice cabins. They have lots of amenities, a super nice staff, and lots of activities. It was our first Halloween event weekend and we were very impressed with everything they had.
We’ve been camping for over 30 years and staying at KOAs for at least 20 of them — and this is the first time we’ve ever felt compelled to write a negative review. Even more disappointing, it’s for a campground we’ve stayed at and enjoyed before. The positives: The lady working in the wine store was an absolute sweetheart — truly one of the highlights of our stay. The haunted house was also adorable and well done. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. Upon arrival (check-in at 3 PM), one of our cabins wasn’t ready or cleaned. While we understand things happen, the attitude at the front desk was unprofessional and dismissive — not only toward us, but toward several guests who were also frustrated that check-in times had passed (some waiting until after 4 PM). When we finally got into our cabins, one was far from clean. The counter was sticky, there was water pooled near the sink and tub, only a half-used roll of toilet paper and one spare, no trash bag in the bathroom bin, no trash cans in the main area, no paper towels, and no coffee maker. Thankfully, we came prepared with our own supplies, but that’s not the point — guests shouldn’t have to. Quiet hours were not enforced. Children were yelling and a dog was barking past midnight on Friday and until 2 AM on Saturday. The campground also had a strong, unpleasant odor that we’ve never experienced at any other KOA. When we went to rebook for next year on Saturday (as we always do), we were told my sister’s cabin had already been given away — despite KOA’s long-standing policy allowing rebooking until Sunday checkout. We were then informed that this location is now owned by “RAC” and has “different rules.” None of this had ever been communicated before, and it completely disregards loyal guests who return year after year. To make matters worse, when we tried to choose new spots to stay together, we were suddenly told there was a $30 nonrefundable fee just to “lock in” sites next to each other — something we’ve never encountered at any other KOA. Between the dismissive attitude, unclear policies, and new surprise fees, we decided not to rebook. Considering prices for next year have increased by $100 per night, that decision seems justified. This campground needs to do better — much better. KOA has built its name on consistency, cleanliness, and family-friendly hospitality. This location, under its current management, does not meet those standards.
