Close to Cooperstown
The campground was fine. There is a pretty covered bride and historic home. Places to play for the kids at the lake. Restrooms were clean. We were traveling on a schedule so only stayed for one night, but had to pay for two. Would have prefered to pay a higher one night fee and left the site available for others.
Small Campground Close to Attractions
Upon arrival we were surprised by the limited amount of sites, especially after coming from larger state parks. It wasn't necessarily a bad things for it to be small, but it seemed isolated from the beach, hiking trails, and other unique experiences. Our site(#31) faced directly to site#6 from the other loop. If you are traveling with another group, I would recommend booking these two sites. There is a small, hop-able, stream that runs in between them. Verizon cell service worked well and I was able to work remotely with video calls from our RV. We do have a Pepwave BR1 Max Pro to boost cell signal. We would stay here again to visit Cooperstown and Ommegang.
Excellent Campground
Electrical hookup, easy registration with friendly staff. Well maintained park and roomy back in sites. Approximately 10 miles from Baseball Hall of Fame and Cooperstown. Clean, modern bathrooms and showers. Paved roads to sites that are gravel and grass. Fires allowed.

Wonderful Experience
Facilities were clean and well taken care of. Everything was as listed. Staff were kind and helpful at check-in.
My site in particular was very cool. There was a footbridge leading to a secondary site that offered some privacy.

Peaceful
Very nice and clean, quiet and peaceful . Spacious sights both shade and sun. Plenty to do, hiking, kayaking, swimming or just relaxing.
Great Camping and swimming
Awesome place for camping and swimming. Beautiful views and great staff. Each tent site has its own fire pit with a grate for cooking.
Idyllic setting in the fall when the leaves are changing
This campground is at the north end of Otsego Lake less than 10 miles from Cooperstown. It's a great base for exploring Cooperstown. The Baseball Hall of Fame, Abner Doubleday Field and the nearby Ommegang Brewery are my favorite spots in Cooperstown, but there's such a diverse set of activities:
Water-based activities such as canoeing, kayaking, sailbaoarding
Glimmerglass Opera
Farmers' Museum
Fenimore Museum
a couple more breweries and a distillery
and on and on
The park is a good place to stay during the fall colors season and also on Hall of Fame Weekend in late July, but book early!
We've camped here in a tent near Beaver Meadows
Friendly clean and lots to do
In July we took our new camper to Glimmerglass State Park. This was our 2nd time at the park. It is clean great bathroom and showers. Very friendly campers and plenty to do at camp grounds and around the area.
Sites are very easy to get into and well maintained. Water available and electric. The lake is pristine and wonderful to swim in. Nice beach. Also a place for showers and a bathroom and small place for food and extras things you might need for camping. Trails for walking.
With Cooperstown 15-20 minutes away no lack of things to do for adults and kids. Great restaurants also. No reason to ever get bored.
I will be back.
Views!!!
The views at glimmerglass are wonderful. I have brought my dog swimming and hiking several times. The beach is great and well kept.
Majestic views. This parked has earned it's name for that view!
It is pet friendly. We stayed with our 3 small children. Enjoyed bike riding through the park. water was beautiful. Lots of waterfront access. It was during the off season in early spring but still very well maintained and clean. Surprised to see so many campers there during the spring when we pulled in but not after seeing the views. Park is nice and easy to navigate with a 30ft travel trailer behind me. My husband loved the fishing! My children loved the water and trails. We visited the Baseball National Hall of Fame, Fenimore Art Museum and the Farmers Museum nearby in Cooperstown. This was our family's favorite spring break vacation ever. Showers had hot water and we were allowed to sue our generator no problem. Also my husband & I went to Brewery Omegang and had the best tasting ever!

Beach camping!
Awesome beach camping experience. It's a beautiful campground and the campsites are pretty secluded. Best of all, you can bring your pets!
Day trip
It's a great place for a day trip
Camp
Glimmer glass is beautiful! The beach was gorgeous the campsite was a great size and secluded. I can't wait to go back next year!
annual trip with family and friends
We go annually with family and friends. The sites are a great size for accomadating two tents and have many people gather at meals. The beat grooms and showers are well kept. The beach, trail to historic house, boating, fishing, and Cooperstown nearby keep everyone in the group entertained. We have also had some great star viewing here!
the beach area here is huge!
great for families, the parking lots is huge, there's easy hiking on the grounds, and it's close to cooperstown- visit the baseball hall of fame!
