This place is wonderful! It’s beautiful, the staff is friendly and they take a lot of pride in the grounds. There is a playground and bounce house for the kids! Going in October gave us a change to have pretty leaves surrounding us. It was pretty quiet too! We will return next year.

The staff was more then helpful and friendly. They went out of there way to help us out. Not one time did they mind helping out and had great service. I would recommend anyone to stay there in the Cooperstown area.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
It was nice to have you stay with us. Thank you very much.

This is a beautiful campground. A bit off the beaten path, 18 miles off the highway, but a large, clean, well manicured park, operated by very nice people. No trains, no highway noise, plenty of space on the site.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
We're glad you drove a few extra miles from I-90. Thank you.

This was a very nice quiet campground. We had a nice spot. Great access to Copperstown Baseball hall Of Fame. The campground is very peaceful. We would stay here again if we came through the area. My only concern was some of the sites are not level. Bring your blocks. Staff was great.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
Thanks for your nice comments. We are always working on our sites, especially after heavy rains.

The park is nestled between corn and cattle fields. Lots of open green grass areas. I loved walking my dog on the field edge roads at 7 am. So peaceful. The park is immaculately clean. I strongly recommend this park if in the Cooperstown area.

Thank you kindly.

We have always enjoyed our stay here but this year we have had some questionable comments made to us and to our friends upon check in and that is a concern. We have discussed not returning based on these comments.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
Not sure what may have put you off. Why didn't you reach out to Kate or Kaaren while you were here?
Sep 29, 2021
Very relaxing campground. The rolling corn fields and the shady tree made a beautiful setting. It was quiet and very relaxing. At night, we saw the stars! The staff were friendly and helpful!
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
That's great! Thank you.

Great location for drive in to Cooperstown. Good sites and had the fastest WIFI of any KOA I have stayed at. Plenty of room for the pets to roam and a very nice dog park. Would certainly stay here again if in the area.

We stayed in a rustic cabin and it was wonderful. Everything was super clean. And all the hosts were super nice.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

It was a beautiful setting. Spots were a little slim. Odd that showers were separate from bathroom. Half of the games in the game didn’t work. Staff was nice. A little over zealous about no floor mats on the grass. Everyone likes to have a mat by the door of their camper.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
And we like you to have a step off mat too, just not a 10 x 12 that smothers the grass. Sorry about the game room machines. Did you let someone know while you were here?
Sep 28, 2021
Clean and convenient. Shower bench was slippery
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
Thanks for your feedback on the shower bench.

The campground it self was beautiful, the staff was over protective. Our spot had electric on one side and waste hook up on the other. No matter how we parked we could only use one. But they came to say we parked wrong. They came to tell me and my kids to get off the playground when we knew it closing at dusk. They called me 3min after a visitor arrived, as they were coming to get a pass to park.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
You arrived after the office closed, so we were not able to provide assistance with parking your RV. The water and electric are pulled under or behind the camper, and the sewer is on the proper side. For safety and security reasons, all visitors are asked to check in at the front desk upon arrival.
Sep 27, 2021
It was very clean. A piece on the playgrounds chain bridge coming apart. A child safety issue. Or site wasn’t nearly level for our 40’ coach. All else great!
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
Thanks for your feedback. Wish you would have told us about the playground equipment when you discovered it needed to be repaired.

Easy, well-run, quiet, beautiful

nice area for dogs. Only negative was that we had to clean the pine cones off our toppers before closing the slides.

Very nice quiet campground located in the country. We had a cabin. Only issue we had was that there wasn't a tv in the cabin, which would been nice. WIFI was great.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
Yes, there is no cable here and we just got fiber optic this spring. We may be looking at smart TVs for our cabins in the future, so guests can bring their own Firesticks and Rokus to stream their favorite shows.

Thanks very much. Hope you do return.

Beautiful Setting; Campground is laid out nice with mostly level pull throughs; My only complaint is that exiting our site was very tight due to fire pit at corner. Had to leave through the site in front of us.
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
Yes, this campground was built before RVs became super-sized, and we are working on a bit of a re-design in the section you were in. Glad you had a good stay overall. Thank you.
Sep 22, 2021
Nice campground Need to gravel all lots Need more 50 amp service lots Guest fee ridiculous! Well maintained, friendly staff, easy in and out. Have stayed there twice-would stay there again �
CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:
We are constantly working on our sites as you could see while you were here. Guest fee is necessary, otherwise everyone could just walk right in.
Sep 21, 2021
Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Campsite has a beautiful view of the valley, situated right next to corn field that goes on forever. Campsite is very clean. Dog park is very nice. Would definitely visit again!

Central NY is naturally beautiful, we agree. Thank you for staying with us.

Beautiful campground that was well maintained. Friendly staff, great sites, very quiet, and close to so many things to do in Central New York. My family and I agree that this was our best camping trip we have ever taken. Thank you Cooperstown KOA.

That is so kind. Glad you had a great time here.

We stayed here for a few days while we visited the Baseball HOF. We stayed in spot #14. This was a great spot. Bottom of hill and looked out over cornfield. Lots of space around us. Staff was excellent. Site not too level. Had to block pull down steps, at max. Still had a gap. did not have anything. Male staff, real friendly helped with cement blocks from barn area, that helped a lot. Site needs to be leveled & sideways a little bit. Peggy at office was great pleasure to deal with. WIFI/streaming was great. No over the air TV signals. 1 food market in area. Wal-mart 30 mins away. We would stay here again. Very quiet at night.

A nice quiet comfortable campground. What I really wanted to tell you about is what the management did when I was concerned that falling pine cones might break my skylight on my motor home. One of the owners climbed up on my roof and placed a rubber mat over my skylight to protect it. Then took it down when it was time for us to leave. Now that's service!!
