We stayed here for half price with the Passport America discount - we paid $25 for a pull through E/ W site (normally$50), and refreshingly there were no taxes or fees added on to the price. We almost didn’t stay here, as on the Passport America site they state that they do not allow certain breeds of dogs, and we generally try to not support places that discriminate against certain breeds, even though our large dog is mixed breed dog who could pass for any number of breeds. But nobody mentioned anything about dogs when we arrived, and we saw no mention of it anywhere on their website or other signage, so we ended up staying.
It’s one of those run down, but in a comfortable kind of way, places. There’s a cute tree house and cute cabins (tiny), as well as a tent-only area for $30. There’s also a dump station (free for campers), a laundry room, and free showers. The showers were run down but clean. We ended up not using the laundry- they are $2 each for washer and dryer (they take quarters, and there’s no change machine), with a sign saying that your clothes may stain due to the iron in the water, and that you need to shake out the sawdust from your clothes before washing them (I guess a lot of loggers stay here?). Also, the water jug we had filled with their water was full of rusty red residue at the bottom, ick. And that water is what we used to fill our onboard RV tank (and that’s with using a filter). The RV park seems to be mostly long-termers or seasonal campers, it was very quiet and devoid of people when we stayed here after a holiday weekend.
Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We forgot to ask about wifi, but cell reception was good for Verizon and ATT. The park is nicely situated among the trees with an easy access from the highway, right near the entrance to the Avenue of the Giants. Would stay here again.
Traveler
On the positive side, the people that work there are very hospitable and friendly. We had reserved 2 days. But for $70 per day for 2 people (they charge by the person per day) there are not enough amenities and the grounds are not well kept. Check in is not until 4pm. First, there is no place to put garbage. You have to take it with you. Bathrooms are just blue porta-potties. There is a map of the property, but almost no signs on the property, so it's hard to know where you are in relation to the map. The campsites are numbered on the map, but not at the physical campsites. Although the property is in the mountains and there is a reservoir for swimming and boating, (a big plus), there are tools and equipment in various stages of disrepair at several places on the facility that are not screened from view of the camping areas. The RV hookup areas are too primitive compared to typical campsites. (again, the price is too much for what you get) There are canoes and kayaks available for use at the reservoir, (a very nice amenity) but various boating equipment litter the shores and spoil the views. I was told this facility caters mainly to group events, like weddings and there are nice glamping tents available. But it looked like they just didn't pick up after the last party. We left after one day.
Guide
Easy access and great store, with access to fire rings, tables, showers, potable water, dump station and trash receptacles. The tent sites are beautiful, but a bit too close to each other when there are dogs involved.
TravelerWe were here for 3 nights and enjoyed the summer concert series on the grass and the close location to a private beach across from the Rv park.
The spaces for Rv’s are tight, but we made it work. Tent camping is much more spacious.
The weather was humid and cool. It felt wonderful for July!!
Ranger
Lots of pics of the beach which is wonderful. Here is the campground when it's full up. Very close rigs
GuideSpacious sites for tents. RV area is packed. I highly recommend the tent area in the back of the campground. Great location! Nice fire pits.
ScoutDo not expect refund even when it is their fault, not worth the stay
GuideWe had an amazing 2 nights here. Never have we had full hookups with an ocean view. Also, experianceing wildlife, seal napping on the private beach, and fox napping one a far picnic table and a bear in the night.
Scout
It’s a ok place to stay. There are a lot of cats on property which got our dog riled up. Good location to see area attractions. Hookups we’re good. Seems like a lot of extended guests in cabins. If we stay again we’ll get a pull through site rather than back in. It didn’t help that we had a family with 2 ATVs staying in a cabin right by us and they’re kids (guessing ages 10-14) would drive around the camp for hours at a time. First time I’ve seen that at a koa.
LegendSuper cute, friendly campground. Incredible views and access to the ocean. Nearby town has amenities and this is an RV haven…now if we could just make it easier to get here!
Scout
The campground is nice and quiet. Plenty of space without being noisy. But I’m not sure how they’ve justified charging $58 per night for no basic trash disposal (you have to take all trash with you) and only portable toilets on site.
Scout
Clean showerhouse and grounds. Recommended for a night or 2. Kids had a fun time in the river.
ScoutExcellent place on the Hill river, RVs, and cabins only, no tents.
Everything appeared to be newly renovated, great condition, clean, friendly staff. I would definitely stay here again. 
They even had an outdoor movie night on the Saturday night we stayed here. 
Traveler
The campground is very clean and quiet. The staff is friendly. Sites are tight, mostly in the sense of getting in and out of them. I suggest a premium patio site since they are on the ends of the rows along the exit of the 1 way street. They are the easiest to pull into from your row. Big rigs may have some maneuvering otherwise. We are in a 42' 5th wheel and we're glad to not have had neighbors when we moved in. All hookups are at the very back of your site so the power posts are slightly in the way when pulling in. Driving in the grass is unavoidable. Parking at your site for bigger rigs is difficult.
GuideThis place is amazing. Full hookups a nice store with everything you need. No reason to leave you have a beach just 50 yards from your campsite.
GuideOne of the best places to stay ever
GuideWe used this campground as a one night layover on our way to sunny California. Ordinarily we would have booked a campsite in the Redwoods State and National Park but storm damage from earlier this winter closed many of the campgrounds in the area. It was nice having showers available. We appreciated that staff was proactive in changing our site to a more convenient one to the front bathrooms for the same price as one we had booked further back. They did this because they were repairing the back bathrooms.
GuideAt the Benbow KOA you will find everything you need for your camping enjoyment The sites are spacious and beautiful easy to access no complaints and the general store has everything you need including wine.
GuideIn my humble opinion Benbow KOA is one of the finest KOAs out there it's not only beautiful and easy to access very accessible but it's in the middle of the redwoods it's right next to the avenue of the Giants The grandfather tree is down the street everything that you want to see is right here what more could you ask for
GuideThis was one of the best campgrounds we ever stayed at the area was fantastic avenue of the Giants is not to be missed the grandfather tree it was just a fantastic area We're going back for a month
ScoutNice campsite by the river. Sites are spaced sufficiently apart. Occupancy is low this time of the year.
Legend
Small rv park within cute mom and pop resort with cabins. Also have tent sites. Sites are tight and not level side to side. But clean and adequate with FHU. Also showers if needed.
Scout
Ok, has lots of room in November. $45 for a pull thru with electric and water
Traveler
Very nice rv park, friendly staff and must be really fun during summer. Little pub onsight mostly closed this late in the season
GuideNot a horrible place. Wish we had stayed at the state park just up the street. The road coming into the park is just kinda sketchy- not the park’s fault. The park is clean and restrooms are clean. There did appear to be some folks that may be a bit long term which is always a bit of a turnoff for me. Overall not terrible but something just a bit off here.
ScoutWe stayed in a pull-through for for the weekend. The park itself is small, sites are tight but clean & well maintained. River access with swimming hole. Very close to Avenue of the Giants. But be aware that the river is quite low. Staff is friendly. Market is tiny but has essentials if you forgot anything. Very small laundry room, 2 washers 2 dryers. $3 for the washer and $2 for the dryer so bring lots of quarters if you plan/need to do laundry. We didn’t see any tent campers so it might not be allowed.
TravelerWe had two different RV spots in the back by the restrooms, which were not working There were plenty of port a potty’s on the property and clean , shower floor was  beyond gross they machines were either jammed or you’d put your $ in to get 1/2 the time you payed for There was a wedding party in the tent area which was fun I would go back but only in RV or camper so I had my own bathroom
