We are new to camping. Had a wonderful stay in Hendy Woods prompting us to want to try a KOA/camper cabin. Cabin is incredibly clean. Would upgrade to bath and kitchen in future (I’m just a little too city for outdoor cooking). Staff is very nice and helpful. Campground is small but nicely spaced out. Playground abd heated pool was a hit with my kid but being as she is a tween, she was hoping for more to keep her short attention or at least a few more options to roll her eyes at.
I gave the location 4 stars because I prefer to vacay places you can explore/shop/dine. Closest exploration town is Ft Bragg. Smaller towns along the way but whether stores or restaurants are open is up to chance especially on weekdays.

The stay here was nice and relaxing too me. The wife didn’t care for location, my issue was access to the ocean wasn’t what I thought it would be. I did like it though and we had a good night there. It was peaceful and had the largest dog park of all the KOA’s we stayed at over the 2 weeks we were traveling.

It was a great site and week, EXCEPT a workers trailer had their overhead AC fan on all day till 10:30ish at night. A great thing about the outdoors is the quiet, felt like living next to the 7-11. When I asked the front desk, they did not take care of the problem

The staff is courteous and prompt. The camp is exceptionally clean, even the bathrooms. I loved the added amenities they provide such as heated pool, hot tub, and varying activities they had like movie or karaoke night. The short hike to nearby Manchester Beach is breathtaking and a must on your to do list while there. My family and I definitely enjoyed our stay and plan to come again in the future.
