Canandaigua / Rochester KOA Holiday

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! This place is so beautiful and peaceful. Really nicely well kept campground. Looks like there is a ton of things for kids to do, and there are walking and biking trails in the woods. I love this campground so much, but we only got to stay one night as we are headed up to Valdez, Alaska to open our KOA there. We know how much effort and thought you guys have put in to make it this nice—very well done. I really hope we get to come back. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

:-D

I've stayed at hundreds campgrounds and KOA's over the past 30 years and this is by far my favorite, it's a gem in the camping world. The facilities and grounds are exceptionally clean and well maintained. The campground is a nice size, everything is within walking distance. They installed a huge new pool this year and it is fantastic! The staff is all friendly, family owned and the workers appear to be campers themselves. I've always had positive interactions and it's impressive how much staff is around to help. They are very upbeat and make you feel good with every interaction. The 10 pm quite hour is enforced and staff patrol around the clock to maintain quite and help with anything you might need. The camp store is well supplied with goodies and camping essentials in case you need something critical ( I seem to every trip!). The pond is really nice and I always see people enjoying the fishing and boats. They have a Cafe with great pancake breakfasts (the blueberry pancakes are fantastic!). They also have pizza, burgers, ect. We especially love the fresh fries and onion rings, we usually grab some to have with whatever we might be grilling at the site. Probably the most family friendly campground we've been to. While my wife and I were playing bingo there was a group of kids and family playing kickball in a field and a bunch of kids jumping on some giant pillow thing, nice to see so many people having fun, even during these trying times. I see some reviews mentioning cancellation policies. I read them on the website and they were actually included in my reservation paperwork! Every time I make a reservation, it's there, staring at me. I had to cancel once last year and didn't have an issue. Cabin policies are consistent at KOA's all across America. I had to cancel at a KOA in Maine once and it was the same policy. There is a lot to do in the area, horse track and casino less than 5 miles away and a water park nearby. This is a great place to stay while touring the local wineries or going to Watkins Glen (I've stayed at the KOA in Watkins, it is huge and the most expensive one I've stayed at in the Northeast). I wish I had discovered this KOA years ago, it's a perfect escape from home (Syracuse NY) and less than an hour away if my wife is driving :). I recently read that RV sales are up 30% this year, last time that happened was 9/11. Campgrounds booked very quickly and I'm certain that'll happen again. I'd book a year in advance if you can't get in now, I learned the hard way. This is a great place to book a Monday-Friday if you can't get in a full week. Enjoy your stay, it's hard not to!

I was very impressed with this campground. The people were very helpful and bent over backwards to be sure we were happy. I was with a group and I didn't hear a single complaint. I even had a small problem and Victor immediately came right to my unit and solved it - it was totally my fault, but he corrected it with a smile! We were very happy with our experience and already made arrangements to return again next year. Thank you Victor and your entire crew!

Halloween weekend! Was fun and safe. The dance party was spooky and fun. Loved playing bingo. Definitely will be booking next year for another spooky weekend
