      Cooperstown KOA

      Great location and campground

      Spaces were easy in/out. Mature trees between sites. Pool, office, pickleball, k9kamp, bathrooms were all nice.

      Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp Resort at Mexico

      Run down, arrogant and disrespectful ownership, severe safety concerns

      I would never return to this campground. We rented a golf cart, and while going downhill, the rear wheel came completely off because the lug nuts were not secured. My 1-year-old and 6-year-old were on the cart, and we were extremely fortunate that no one was injured. When I expressed how serious and upsetting this was and how close my children were to being injured the owner’s response was,“But were they?” When I explained that my children were thankfully not injured but were shaken up by the incident, he sarcastically questioned whether my 1-year-old could be traumatized. They did provide us with another golf cart afterward, but I consider that the bare minimum after being given an unsafe rental. After the apparent lack of proper inspection of the cart and the ill-mannered response to such a serious safety issue, I would never recommend this campground.

      Delta Lake State Park Campground

      Nice Park!

      Had an overnight stay here and it was really peaceful. The reservoir had been drained but it was still lovely to look out across the property. You definitely can’t beat $30 for an electric site! Restrooms were a bit dated but clean. Staff was very friendly. Our site was spacious and next to a short walking trail through the trees.

      Selkirk Shores State Park Campground

      Beautiful View

      We thought the campground was beautiful, tight to your neighbors on majority of sites, and lack of trash cans for pet waste especially since the campground is so big. It has ball field, 2 playgrounds, rec room, camp store, lake Ontario to swim, trails for multi use, and pavillions. Down fall for us was small site , lack of trash cans to toss pet waste, not being told about fill station because there is no water faucets like most state parks along campground. We were there for first time so not familiar with park. Office did not offer us a map to get to our site or clue us in on filling our tank prior to parking camper. Main gate personnel not on same information. bathrooms could be cleaned more often. bathhouse building is all gender with bathrooms on one side of building and showers on other. Bathroom and showers are private space rooms. Beach is very rocky with little sand area. Life guards only guard one side of beach making everyone crowded to one side

      Delta Lake State Park Campground

      Nice Campgrounds, Beautiful Lake.

      The campground facilities are very outdated. That's most likely due to the majority of "campers" having RV's and not needing to use the facilities. The restrooms/dish sink area Only having Cold water to wash up hands & dishes, the 1 and Only shower area for All 3 Loops reminded me of being in a horror film...full of dead insects everywhere, ther are signs posted letting you know its gonna take about 5 minutes to semi-heat up, and the shower spray directly on the floor vs staying contained withvh

      Gilbert Lake State Park Campground

      Staff is great as well as the campgrounds

      Gilbert Lake State Park is located about 11 miles north of Oneonta, New York. I have camped here for a number of summers at their Hilltop Section, never dissapointed. There are a few trails that traverse the park for a few miles that are always green and shady. The lake offers swimming and kayaking. There is a concession stand and even a small museum that chronicles the efforts of the national CCC program under Roosevelt that constructed the park in the 1930's. After a long day of hiking, the campgrounds hot showers offer a great reprieve.

      Pleasant Lake Campground

      The worst campground I've ever experienced.

      The problems started before we even arrived. When I called to make a reservation, the owner was rude and impatient, repeatedly complaining that he couldn't hear me, despite me having full service. I discovered cell service at the campground was spotty, which made his attitude even more frustrating in hindsight. I told him it would be us and our dog, his immediate response was,"IT'S NOT A PIT BULL, IS IT?" in a hostile tone. I said no, she's an American Staffordshire, and my husband's service dog. He rudely replied that it was"THE SAME THING" and that they have breed restrictions. When I asked whether he was denying us, he avoided answering and demanded"legal paperwork" for her. I told him that no such paperwork exists, but she is trained to perform a task. He completed the reservation, took my payment, gave us a site number, and hung up. Since the office was closed and we had already been assigned a site number and paid, we assumed we could go directly to our site and finish any details in the morning. While setting up, the owner drove over and confronted us for not reporting to the office first. He then demanded proof of rabies vaccination, which is reasonable. We apologized that we had forgotten the paperwork and said we'd email it to him first thing in the morning. We were extremely annoyed that we saw multiple pit bulls as soon as we pulled in the campground. The next morning, we emailed the records to the campground around 10:10 AM, exactly as promised, as soon as our vet's office had opened. About 11:00, the owner left a voicemail demanding that we leave the property immediately because he had not received the paperwork. I called back and asked him to check his email again, he accused me of sending it to the wrong address. I told him that if he still couldn't find it after checking again, I would come to the office once I was dressed. 30 minutes later, he left another voicemail saying he had escalated it to the sheriff's office because we had not complied. Meanwhile, my husband was already walking to the office to handle things and the owner informed him that we were no longer welcome and that he had called the sheriff's office. Again, my husband told them to check their spam folder, and the email had been there all along. We communicated throughout the entire process and did exactly what we said we would do. The owner's son was far more reasonable and they did apologize, but it didn't make the situation right. The sites were tight, muddy, unlevel, and had awkwardly placed hookups. We were packed so close together that the row behind us overlapped the rear of our camper by a few feet. We had to share water with the neighboring site through a splitter at the spigot. We didn't use the restrooms or amenities because after our interactions with management, we felt completely unwelcome. We only stayed because we were in town for our grandson's first birthday and couldn't find another campground on such short notice.

      Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA

      Interesting things to do at this campground

      We've stayed here half a dozen times, usually for an evening along our camping trips. We did stay an extra day once to do some of the activities available.

      It's a bit of a haul to get to the campground and the first time we were sure that we had missed a turn as we left Herkimer and headed up smaller and more winding roads to the campground. The turn off to the campground comes up fast and is quite sharp so be on the lookout for it.

      The campground has many sites including back in and pull through. Not the largest of sites, but lots of green space to give the campground a park like feel. Some camp sites are right along the West Canada Creek. You can swim/wade in it, in addition to riding rafts along it.

      There is a working "diamond" mine at the campground where you can try your hand at mining, or just buy some of the crystals that someone else did the work to get. There is a nice restaurant open most days (we have always managed to miss the days that it's open) in addition to stands near the mine that sell hot dogs and burgers.

      There is a nice, large pool. In the park like area around it they have stands that sell mixed drinks, and others that sell ice cream and other deserts. The camp store is medium-large and has supplies, food, souvenirs (including Herkimer Diamond), etc.

Located in Oneida County at approximately 430 feet elevation, the area experiences distinct seasonal changes with warm summers ideal for water recreation and colorful falls perfect for hiking.

    What to do

    Creek tubing at Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA: This family-friendly activity runs through the campground itself. "Tubing was the big hit with the kids... Very clean cabins, store disc golf course. Across the road from a do it yourself quartz mine. Plenty of things to do including tubing the west Canada river. Easy in easy out for the tubing," notes one camper at Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA.

    Fishing at Delta Lake: The reservoir offers excellent fishing opportunities for bass, perch and pike. "The lake is a flooded area foaming a reservoir stocked with game fish as bass, perch, and pike," explains a visitor. Delta Lake also features "a boat ramp, beach, some easy hiking, and recently added electricity to all the sites," according to another camper at Delta Lake State Park Campground.

    Winter activities near Bass Lake: For cold-weather cabin camping, Bass Lake Resort stays open year-round. A reviewer noted, "Bass lake is a membership/timeshare place but if you get a membership you can camp for free at any of 7 of campsites along the east coast. You can get a free weekend to see how it is and they will give you 21 days of free camping (1 week in season and 2 out of season)."

    What campers like

    Private bathroom facilities: Several glamping locations offer upgraded facilities. At Green Lakes, "the bathrooms have been remodeled and most are private with a toilet, shower and sink which makes this a wonderful family campground," though one recent visitor noted shower issues: "As clean as the bathrooms are, the showers still suck. I'll never understand why parks use the misting shower heads... It's best to use the ADA bathrooms because those shower heads are normal and have wands."

    Waterfront sites: Many campers prioritize water views when glamping close to Canastota, New York. "We had a waterfront hookup! So pretty especially in the morning with the sunrise... There's a few steps down to a gravel beach and an expansive view of the delta lake," reports a visitor to Delta Lake State Park Campground.

    Rural tranquility with nearby conveniences: Ta-Ga-Soke Campgrounds offers a balance of seclusion and accessibility. "The site was good size and included a picnic table and a fire ring. Site however was very close to other sites and not very private... Site was very close to water and boat launch and that was great," says a camper at Ta-Ga-Soke Campgrounds.

    What you should know

    Campground accessibility: Some locations have specific entry requirements. At Mayfair Campground, "the entrance was gated with a card reader access which we did not have a card for. We tried calling back several times but a recording said that the line was busy... There are no signs to direct you which way to go and the sites are poorly marked."

    Reservation timing: For glamping accommodations near Canastota, early booking is essential. Glimmerglass State Park offers a convenient location near area attractions. A visitor commented, "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," making Glimmerglass State Park Campground a popular choice that books quickly.

    Lake restrictions: Some lakes have specific rules about watercraft. At Green Lakes, "you cannot bring your own kayaks you have to rent," notes one camper. Rental rates run approximately $7/hour for rowboats at some locations.

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for campgrounds with dedicated kid activities: Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA offers numerous planned events. "Very beautiful campground with tons of planned activities for the kids. Outdoor pool and clean shower/bathrooms. Lots of grass and shade," reports one family camper.

    Seek out family-friendly beaches: Delta Lake gets high marks for its beach facilities. "The beautiful beach is well attended with life guards on duty keeping you safe but still allowing much fun on the very clean white sand... There is a very nice playground for the children and ample bathroom facilities including showers," notes a visitor.

    Consider meal delivery options: Some locations offer unexpected conveniences. "The concession stand at the beach will deliver to your camp site," shares a camper at Delta Lake State Park Campground, making mealtime easier for families with small children.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup availability varies significantly: At Treasure Isle RV Park, "sites are a good size with water and electric on each site. There is a dumping station to use, some sewer sites," according to a camper at Treasure Isle RV Park. Check specific site amenities when booking.

    Site conditions for larger rigs: Some locations have challenging terrain. At Mayfair Campground, "the sites have a poorly graveled parking spot and the ground is a little soft," which might present challenges for heavier RVs.

    Seasonal considerations: Some areas have limited off-season amenities. A camper at Glimmerglass mentioned, "We were bummed not to rent a boat," when visiting during shoulder season, so check ahead about which activities remain available during your planned visit.
