Lodge, Cabin, RV or Tent.
We have the Perfect Location for your Kamping Vacation.
They’re beautiful, fun to find and the whole family can dig for them at Herkimer Diamond Mines, part of this KOA. Actually quartz crystals, the stones were faceted by nature half a billion years ago. Here, experience Upstate New York’s largest jewelry store, a museum with the Diamond Hall of Fame, a fossil-sluice area and authentic dinosaur skull, “Randy.”
Enjoy a canal boat ride with “Lil” Diamond II or III at the Herkimer Marina. Go through a lock that lifts you up and down 20 feet on the Erie Canal. Cherish your heroes at Cooperstown’s Baseball Hall of Fame. Alongside KOA’s campsites, West Canada Creek offers trout and fun for canoeists, tubers, and kayakers. Dine at KOA’s on site cafe’, pavilion or Crystal Chandelier Restaurant. Join in activities during Herkimer Diamond Mines 55th anniversary.

Solar Kolony
Meet our Solar Lodges:
100% Green – Solar 1
Apple Orchard – Solar 2
Japanese Garden – Solar 3 |
 |
On May 3, 2010, The Herkimer Diamond, New York KOA Kampground became the world’s first campground with a 100% off-the-power-grid, solar powered camping lodge.
With solar panels on its roof harnessing energy and a prototype propane backup generator, the new KOA Solar 1 Lodge is able to run completely independent of outside energy sources. The generator “kicks in” to recharge power batteries during cloudy weather.
Built by one of KOA’s preferred suppliers, Cavco Industries, the Lodge features Generac’s industry-first propane generator, which backs up a system of solar panels made by Solar-max, a leader in solar technology.
The Solar 1 Lodge is packed with “green” technology and products, right down to its recycled metal roof and pulverized glass landscaping. Even the bed pillows are made from fiberfill from recycled plastic bottles.
The “green” theme continues outside, with deck furniture fabricated from recycled plastic milk jugs, and an organic garden that guests can harvest their own vegetables during their stay. read more
