Decent enough

Typical tight roads and sites, we booked 30/Water….but arrived to find only 50 available and Barry any water. Both issues resolved within hours to their credit. Campground was lovely and quiet- except for a neighboring seasonal site with more people and dogs than permitted who watched loud movies. Otherwise seemed quiet and well kept. Close to Cooperstown
