Great relaxing place to stay. Probably the nicest group if people that we have ever stayed with. Great group of KOA workers. We felt safe and knew if we needed anything they would help. Very clean and well taken care of. Quiet! We will definitely be back to stay again.

We enjoy this KOA. This stay we were in sites that were a bit tight and we had to share a pedestal with the neighboring site. It worked out but the site next to us had to run their hook-ups across their “lawn”. When I put an expensive surge protector on my electric line, I prefer to lock it up, can’t do that with the sites were you have to share the pedestal. We will return but a different

Yep, what used to be the best side of the campground, updated about 10 years ago, is now the oldest. You've got to book early on holiday weekends to score the sites you like best.

Staff is very helpful and kind with recommendations (Even going to extreme by printing directions) to local business and places to see. Cabin and grounds clean and neat. Thank you so much

Staff was FANTASTIC!! Campground so so. For $60 you would think the sewer would be lower than the dump on the trailer. The rate I thought was high with only the play ground open and being 65+ that didn’t play a factor. Really no close attractions nearby. I even drove out of my way to stay at this KOA. I have stayed at a few KOAs this year for way less money and a lot more to do in the area.

Baseball Hall of Fame, Fenimore and Farmers' Museums, Fly Creek Cider Mill, Brewery Ommegang. A few less than 15 minutes away...we allowed you to stay with us for 1 night during a 3-night minimum holiday period, so you paid the holiday rate of an extra $4.

Our stay was very enjoyable just like the last 3times we stayed. The owners and workers are very friendly and make your stay worth coming back next year. They all get a five star rating from my wife and I. Keep up the good work.

My stay at Cooperstown KOA with my group, RVing Women, was FANTASTIC! The owners are so friendly and accommodating, the whole staff was just wonderful. Beautiful, quiet, well maintained campground. The campground is located in a really beautiful area of New York. One of the best campgrounds I've stayed at, and I camp A LOT!! I'll definitely be back! Thanks, Kate and Karin!

The campground was cleaned and well manicured. Staff were professional and very helpful even when I had trouble in my rig. The owners are very engage and available to help. They even sat at the evening fire with us. We loved being able to walk to the farm across the street and visit with the very friendly cows. We are definetely going back in 2021.

A little bit far from 90 but well worth it. It was just wonderful. So peaceful compared to the previous KOA we stayed at the night before on the Ohio / PA border. The staff was great also. Nicely kept grounds. Hated to leave. Will go back to this one as the first or last stop when traveling west or east from MA. As a side point, NY thruway is so much smoother than running down to route 80 in PA.

Thank you kindly for such a nice review. You stayed just one night - next time, stay a little longer and enjoy all that the Cooperstown area offers.

This place is a real gem. The area is very rural - fields all around. Cooperstown has its own charm - even more than the Baseball Hall of Fame. Friendly staff and guests. This is our second stay here and we will definitely be coming back!

Nice place but in the middle of nowhere & few amenities. Did not find out there was no Wi-Fi until after reservation was placed. No cable either. Large dog run.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
Our WiFi suspension info is on our website and on your reservation confirmation. The good thing is cell phone reception here is good. And yes, it's a rural area, but 20 minutes away from many attractions. Hope you enjoyed your stay despite your disappointment over the WiFi.
