Cooperstown KOA

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Hikers, paddlers, and baseball fans alike use Cooperstown KOA as a base for exploring the Cooperstown region, with Glimmerglass State Park a few miles away offering trails and kayaking on Otsego Lake, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame roughly 12 miles down the road. The campground sits in rural Richfield Springs, well outside of town, and the surroundings are working farmland, including a herd of cows across the road that reviewers mention as part of the local atmosphere. The 120-site property runs from late April through mid-October and accommodates everything from tent camping to large RVs up to 60 feet, with full hookup, water and electric, and no-hookup options available.

Sites are a mix of gravel and grass pads, all reported to be level, with back-in and pull-through configurations. Interior roads are gravel and can be narrow, so larger rigs should note that maneuvering room is limited in some areas. Cell coverage for Verizon and AT&T is workable, and the campground's WiFi has clocked speeds around 60 Mbps according to one reviewer. Tree coverage is moderate, which can interfere with satellite dishes but provides good sightlines toward the surrounding hills.

Facilities include clean restrooms, separate showers, laundry, a pool, playground, volleyball and basketball courts, and a camp store with essentials. Water pressure can dip occasionally when the pool is being filled, though the campground has sent advance notice by text. Jim G. notes the sites are "decently sized, fairly level, and have good views of the surrounding hills." Nearby alternatives include Cooperstown Ringwood Farms Campground and The Hayden Creek Inn for campers comparing options in the area. Reservations are available and pets are welcome.

Quiet and unassuming

This campground is your typical KOA in a pastoral setting. Being off the beaten track, and not actually in Cooperstown, it is very quiet except for the herd of cows across the street. Sites are decently sized, fairly level, and have good views of the surrounding hills. The WiFi is very good-- modern and surprising speeds (60Mbps) and cell phone for AT&T was decent. Staff is friendly and the store had the essentials. It's about 20 minutes from Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame so, naturally, there is a baseball theme. One annoyance is the water pressure seemed to drop on occasion and one night was low for quite a while due to the pool being filled. We had to wait to do dishes until the next morning (not a tragedy). However, we did get a few hours warning via text message, which was nice.

You can't park any vehicle over 20' in Cooperstown, but you can park for free (even a motorhome) in the Yellow Lot and take the Trolley into town for$2.50. Super convenient!

Nice Park

This park is located approximately 12.5 miles from downtown Cooperstown and is set in the quiet rural countryside of New York. The mature trees make for beautiful scenery in the fall. There is a mix of sites varying from tent, RV, rental trailers, and camping cabins/cottages/lodges bringing the total number of sites to 120. Back-in and pull-thru sites are available. Site types include full hookup, water and electric, and no hookup with prices varying depending upon site. You can choose between 30/20 or 50 amp electric service. Interior roads are gravel and some site pads are gravel while others are grass.

The park is nicely terraced and all the sites are level. Patios were a grassy/dirt area with a picnic table and fire pit. Our site (#41) was a pull-thru but there was no way we could drive our 45’ motorhome forward out of the site because of a large tree and narrow roads. So we ended up having to back out. The free wifi worked well as did our Verizon 4G phone and hotspot. We picked up a dozen or so television channels with our antenna. The park does have a fair amount of trees that would interfere with roof-mounted satellite dishes so you would have to pick your site carefully. But, there are some 30 amp and no hook-up sites that are clear. This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities including a swimming pool(which was closed for the season when we were there), a playground, volleyball court, basketball court, jump house, pavilion, recreation room, bicycle rental, and horseshoes. Showers, restrooms and laundry are also present and clean. There is a propane filling station. While there is no fenced-in dog park there is a pet walking area. The surrounding area is pretty rural and the closest town (Richfield Springs– which is very small) is five miles away and where you will find restaurants, gas station, grocery store, and more. A few miles from the park is a creamery that has a café.

Approximately five miles away is Glimmerglass State Park which was great for hiking and kayaking Otsego Lake. There is a also a historic house at the park that you can tour and the country’s oldest covered bridge. Cooperstown is a little over twelve miles away from the park but well worth a trip. Not only is Cooperstown home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame but it is a charming downtown well worth exploring. Other nearby attractions include The Farmers Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, Hero’s of Baseball Wax Museum, Glimmerglass Opera, and Cooperstown Brewing Company.

Clean, friendly, quiet

Most people that stay here are in RVs but we were tent camping and they have a nice wooded area with fire pits and a view of the rolling hills. Beautiful! This is our second Memorial Day weekend stay here and we chose it because the facilities are clean, the owners, staff and other guests are friendly and people respect the quiet hours which was really appreciated as we had a couple early mornings.

Perfect little get away

This was the first KOA I ever stayed at and I was very impressed. The bathrooms were very nice and so were the showers, which were separate from the bathrooms. The pool, along the dog park, bounce house and swing set were well taken care of. The camp site was on grass and staff made it a point to check on us and invite us to the community bonfire they were doing that night. They also had WiFi and laundry at this campground. I would stay at this campground again.
