  Alder lake

  Beautiful single drive in site!

  Love this place will definitely be back, not sure why it didn’t show up for free camping when I had it filtered, found it on another app. Was not the easiest for my RV van to get up the hill with the ruts, but I have a small lift so it helps, lower clearance vans might not make it. It’s a single camper site at the top of the hill left before the trailhead parking.

  Unadilla KOA

  Lackluster and full service

  The weather was terrible while I was there, so perhaps this review may be biased. The Campground was very quiet in mid October. Many of the sites seem to be seasonal as there was no traffic to or from them. But there was quite a bit of daily traffic, usually arriving late and leaving early. Perhaps because the weather was turning very chilly and although the leaf peeping was at its peak for this season, I think people were heading south fast like me.

  Chenango Valley State Park Campground

  This Place has it All!

  Great all-around campground. Level sites with plenty of trees. Clean bath houses. Tons of biking and hike trails. A “beach” swim area that is like a resort. A golf course. A great option for families.

  A really beautiful area to visit. A very cool brewery is just 4 miles away.

  Glimmerglass State Park Campground

  It glimmers like glass! The lake and more

  Both the Glimmerglass State Park and the Glimmerglass Festival Opera House list their location as Cooperstown, but in actuality the Park is 8 miles outside of Cooperstown on the northeast side of Otsego Lake, with the Opera House nearby on the northwest corner of the lake nearby. If you are going to visit one, you should also visit the other! In fact the park is an ideal spot to stay if you are wanting to take in any of the Glimmerglass music or theater productions which have quite a professional lineup in the summer season. If staying at the park you will also enjoy the amazing beach and waterfront on Otsego Lake, and great kayaking on the lake as well as the stream flowing into it. You can also hike, ot take a day trip into Cooperstown, especially for museums and all things baseball.

  The camping opportunities give you three options: the main campground by the park office, which is wooded and shady and has electric hookups as needed, and is close to the beach, but you will have a lot of neighbors. If you want a quiet tenting experience, choose the Beaver Pond primitive tenting campground! This offers a small number of large, well spaced and private tent only sites set back in the woods by a beautiful pond and by the Beaver Hiking trail. Very peaceful with more solitude than the main campground, but a longer walk to the beach. The third and newest option, the Travis Field campsites, reminds me of an overflow parking area at an outdoor festival, unfortunately just a bunch of basic tent campsites plunked in an open grassy field located in between the beach and the Beaver Pond sites. I am guessing the park has greater demand for campsites than the original campground offers, so they put these spots up in an open field, and maybe folks would rather have these sites than nothing if they want a week at the lake, but they would not be a first choice unless perhaps you have a group that wants to gather together and take a block of these sites. I didnt check out the cabins, but there are some, which might be especially good if you want to come in the winter as the park is open year round

  Glimmerglass State Park Campground

  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.

  Ace of Diamonds Mine & Campground

  Nice enough spot when traveling through

  I called and booked ahead of time knowing I'd arrive late and leave early, which was absolutely no problem, so I'm very thankful for that. I paid over the phone, was given clear instructions on where to park, and was told to enjoy my stay. This location is great if you're in a van or RV and need a quick place to stay for the night in this area of NY in mid- / late-October (because it seems NY closes its state parks quite early) or if you're here for the rock-hunting. From what I could see late at night (which honestly wasn't much) I wouldn't recommend for tent-camping as the sites were quite close to each other and not much soft ground for sleeping.

  Nickerson Park Campground

  BRING YOUR OWN WATER !!!

  Use to be a real nice family oriented campground. Since the new owners took over, the nicest thing is leaving! Wild, disrespectful adult adolescents get out of control and the park does nothing about it. Speed limits are not enforced! Some fly thru the park making it dangerous for everyone, especially children. Garbage used to be picked up at your site throughout the day and brought up by the entrance, but now there are overflowing dumpsters all over the place which have caused fly and rodent infestations. I had to hang nasty fly strips all around my canopies and caught mice in my camper constantly. THE WATER! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! I'm guessing the new owners didn't do as much as the previous owners as far as water treatments. It smelled like raw sewage, loaded with sediment and very discolored. Little to no pressure and a couple times no water at all. This was my 5th year camping at Nickerson and these issues were not there in the past. I have been camping for about 50 years and I've stayed in many campgrounds, this water was by far the worst I've ever experienced.

  Deer Haven Campground and Cabins

  Nice convenient spot

  On top of hill right outside of town. Stayed during the week and was able to get a more secluded, wooded site. (Most of them are pretty open) It was quiet at night. You can hear some traffic from down below at busier times. Nice walking trail around the property through woods and field. Convenient WSE hookup right at site. Staff was friendly. It was hard to pre book a site though. You can’t do it online, you have to email, and it can take a while to hear back from anyone confirming a reservation. $50/night for full hookup.

  Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA

  Amazing KOA

  One of the better KOA campgrounds I’ve been to. Beautiful campground, well-maintained nice staff. Like any campgrounds there’s good and bad spots. We parked our camper along the river in the back and it was fabulous.

  Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA

  Mohawk Valley Beauty

  A quaint little KOA along the banks of the West Canada Creek in the picturesque Mohawk Valley of Central NY. From Erie Canal cruising to tubing down the west Canada to mining for Herkimer Diamonds, there are plenty of things to see and do. Not too far from Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and about 1.5 hours from Saratoga, there is plenty to se and do.

  Nickerson Park Campground

  Nickerson Catskill mountain campground is amazing.

  Absolutelylived this campground.  The sites were very spacious and clean. They had a pool and water slides for the kids. The owner and staff were so friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to go back. Highly recommend this place.  There are also a lot of places in the area to visit.  Minekill state park is only a 5 minute drive.

  Cooperstown KOA

  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!

  Bowman Lake State Park Campground

  Woodsy, pet friendly, and private

  We booked this as our first real camping trip with our new trailer, can’t recommend that for everyone lol, but we had a lovely time.

  We had a back in site with a fire pit, picnic table, and no hook ups. It was gravel and not super level, but we made it work. There was a potable water spigot a few sites over and a bathroom with showers a short walk away.

  This is a great spot for tent camping, so if that’s your vibe this place is perfect. We had a lot of tree cover so we didn’t even need our air conditioning on during an 85 degree day. There are a lot of mosquitoes, but with some bug spray and a couple thermacell mosquito repellents, we were comfortable the whole time. I loved cooking over the fire, the pit had a cinder block wall around it to set a grate on and block the wind. We had a lot of privacy because the campgrounds next to us were empty, but even if there were people nearby there was about 20-30 ft between our site and the next.

  The lake is small but calm and great for kayaking. There is a little “beach” there for swimming, but know that it’s a soft lake bottom further out.

  We really liked it here and booked another visit in August.

  Nickerson Park Campground

  Private Early Season Camping

  We stayed for two nights mid-week in June and had the entire loop to ourselves. That made the experience a 5/5, but after seeing the site layout, it seems like accessibility could be an issue with high occupancy. Check-in went very smoothly and we were greeted by the new owner of only 45 days. She was extremely pleasant. Most of the campground is filled with seasonal RVs which makes for a different experience. Our site was on top of the creek, close to the path down to the water and close to a hiking trail. During our visit we drove around the nearby towns and didn't find much to see or do with our time. I don't know if I would stay here again just for the visit to the campground given the higher cost, but we enjoyed the one time experience. Verizon cell service was decent, and enough to work remotely.

  Glimmerglass State Park Campground

  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.

  Nickerson Park Campground

  Horrible Mananagement

   I stayed at Nickerson Park Campground in August 2022 and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. The campground's management and staff exhibited behaviors that were completely unacceptable and made for a very unpleasant stay. One of the main issues I encountered was the frequent drug use by the manager's husband, Geno. This created an unsafe and uncomfortable environment for guests, and it was clear that he was under the influence of drugs during my stay. Additionally, his attitude towards guests was extremely poor, which only made matters worse. It's concerning that the management and staff at Nickerson Park Campground allowed this behavior to continue unchecked. It's their responsibility to ensure that guests feel safe and comfortable during their stay, and they failed to do so in this case. The fact that they allowed a staff member's drug use to go unchecked is completely unacceptable. Overall, I would not recommend staying at Nickerson Park Campground due to the behavior of its management and staff. Their lack of accountability and failure to address these serious issues make for a completely unacceptable guest experience

  Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA

  Fun and Friendly Campground

  Campground is on both sides of the road but traffic is not real bad. There is plenty to do for camping families and couples that enjoy a peaceful evening. Self escorted to site. Sites are a little tight getting in but once you are in you have plenty of room. Rules seem to be adhered to but you do not feel policed. You have easy access to the river for your fishing desire, or you can try your hand at mining for diamonds( real open put diamond mine. Two places to get food and town is about 7 miles with more opportunity for dinning. The campground does have a lot of cabin options.
