    Caroga Lake Campground

    Good facility, lacks much to do

    We were there 4th of July weekend, and the park was fully booked. Very friendly rangers, electricity in bathrooms, hot showers, and a nice dishwashing and recycling center.

    The campsite connects to the beach area and there is boat rental, but no pets allowed in the beach area.

    For us, a drawback was a lack of any hikes connecting to the campsite.

    Cooperstown KOA

    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.

    Cooperstown KOA

    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.

    Delta Lake State Park Campground

    Perfect place to unwind after Boilermaker

    We stayed here a while ago while running the Boilermaker, at the time we had outfitted our twelve passenger van with a bed and used the electric hookups for our fans and chargers. We had a fire pit and picnic table as well. It was a beautiful spot on the Delta Reservoir, had plenty of trees and access to the reservoir for wading and swimming. The bath houses were clean and centrally located. Nice little no-frills campsite.

    Caroga Lake Campground

    Overall, nice.

    We spent a relatively quiet long weekend here on loop F 97, which is a bit removed from the main campground. It was a bit noisy on Saturday night but nothing disturbing.  This site also is bordered by a small stream so expect mosquitoes and the occasional visit from wildlife (we had raccoons at our site each night, so kept food in the car). Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table.

    There is a store just outside the entrance that sells ice, wood, groceries.  There are quite a few roadside firewood sellers that are reasonably priced.  The fire pit does not have a narrow grilling grate so bringing something to ensure your food won't fall through the widely spaced bars is helpful.  

    As I said, our site was out of the main population, but it was a bit of a hike to the restroom which is something to keep in mind if you've really got to get to a bathroom first thing in the morning.  

    There is a Walmart about 10 miles away in Gloverville, so keep this in mind if you are planning on picking up essentials when you arrive.  

    There are no sites with electric.

    Delta Lake State Park Campground

    Delta Lake State Park

    Delta Lake State Park sits at the foothills of the Adirondack Park, just outside Rome, New York. Pretty and well-kempt, Delta Lake is a nice option for those looking to stay close to home and within proximity to civilization. You can enjoy the great outdoors, while only being a few miles away from a restaurant or grocery store.

    The campground isn‘t the best I’ve experienced, a bit on the crowded side-similar to a woodsy suburb- but this could have been distinctive to Loop A where I stayed. I stayed in site 35 and was intermixed with all the campers and RV’s, so it got a bit noisy. Not that restful, secluded experience I typically go for, but I should have planned further in advance.

    However, what the park lacked in terms of its campground, it totally made up for in its beach, swimming and picnic areas! This place was awesome for hosting a birthday party for my niece and relaxing at the beach/ day facilities. They have plenty of picnic tables, charcoal grills, a huge beach and locker rooms. This is really a great place to spend a day with your family!

    Delta Lake State Park Campground

    Great spot for the night!!

    We had a waterfront hookup ! So pretty especially in the morning with the sunrise. The road to get in was for the most part well taken care of. It was pretty quiet especially after quiet hours everyone was very respectful. It got really windy at night which was nice to keep the bugs away. Friendly neighbors as well. There’s a few steps down to a gravel beach and an expansive view of the delta lake. There were bathrooms in the middle of our loop which was great and easy to walk to and it was very clean. There is a water full station when you enter but there are also a couple water spigots in our loop.

    Brown Tract Pond Campground

    I fell in love with this place

    As I sat having by my coffee, watching steam rise from the pond, I listened to the distant calls of Loons.

    I’d describe this campground as a hidden gem, but it’s not for everyone. To get here you leave the paved road and take a gravel road a little ways. On our way we spotted a group of Turkeys wandering about. This campground is for the adventurous. No electric or water hook ups (for RVs) and no shower facilities, but there are restrooms.

    Staff was friendly and helpful. Helped me pick out a site and made sure I was good once I set up. Bring or rent a Canoe and you can travel out to an island in the middle of the pond from which families jump from a large rock into the lake.

    As the sun sets and the stars come out, you’ll look up and suddenly realize just how small you are as you stare at the heavens and see the Milky Way.

    Nothing but peace and quiet. When it’s quiet hours, the only thing you here is nature and the occasional crackle of someone’s fire.

    Would I go here again? Brown Tract is one of those places that after you go once, you find yourself going again and again. Our tripped was booked as soon as we could.

    Delta Lake State Park Campground

    Nice but BUSY

    This was our first time here, and we were looking forward to a relaxing visit. The sites were very large and well spaced out, with a beautiful fire ring. The bathrooms were clean. This campground got a 3/5 mainly because quiet hours are not enforced. Unfortunately, people were up blaring radios until approximately 3 am, being roudy. At approximately 2 am, someone decided it would be a good idea to do burnouts with their diesel truck, and went around the camp loop twice, doing just that. Vehicles were driving by the campsites all night long. This is naturally not entirely the campgrounds fault, but it was unfortunate to be misled by the campground rules. On a positive note, the campground is dog friendly, in certain areas, with proof of rabies vaccination, of course. Overall, I would say that this campground is geared more toward the RV and trailer crowd.


Guide to Remsen

Delta Lake State Park Campground sits at the edge of the Adirondack region, approximately 15 miles from Remsen, New York. The area features numerous waterways including lakes and creeks with elevations ranging from 800-1,200 feet above sea level. Camping options near Remsen span from rustic tent sites to upscale glamping accommodations, with most campgrounds operating from early May through mid-October when temperatures typically range from 45°F to 80°F.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Delta Lake State Park Campground offers various fishing spots stocked with game fish. "The lake is a flooded area forming a reservoir stocked with game fish as bass, perch, and pike," notes Brian O., who appreciates the accessible fishing at Delta Lake State Park Campground.

Hiking trails: Follow paths directly from your campsite at Little Sandpoint Campground. "Nice hike straight from the campground," says Ekaterina P., who enjoyed the convenient access to nature trails at Little Sandpoint Campground. The nearby Echo Cliffs trail provides lake views from elevated positions.

Water recreation: Take advantage of kayak rentals at reasonable rates. "They rent out kayaks for $20 for 24 hours which in my opinion is a total steal," writes Tarah W. about Little Sandpoint. Visitors also mention tubing opportunities at Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA, where "tubing was the big hit with the kids."

Mining experiences: Search for unique quartz crystals at specialized sites. "The mines are so much fun," Kelly F. reports about her stay at Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA, which offers direct access to mining activities. This hands-on activity appeals to both adults and children.

What campers like

Waterfront access: Many campsites offer direct lake or river frontage. "Having the kayaks were great, there's so much to explore, and town is right down the road," mentions Sierra K. about Delta Lake State Park Campground. Waterfront sites typically fill quickly during summer months.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and shower areas receive positive mentions. "Bathrooms and showers are immaculate and well stocked," Karen F. notes about Mayfair Campground. Multiple campgrounds in the area prioritize cleanliness in their shared facilities.

Spacious sites: Campsites with adequate room for setup and activities. "Spacious, mostly flat sides. Complete shade and a lot of sites right on the water," says Marlene H. about Delta Lake State Park Campground, highlighting the practical advantages of well-designed camping areas.

Organized activities: Family-friendly scheduled events throughout camping season. "Small, family owned campground w/173 sites...many planned activities for kids: hayrides, sandcastle contests, Santa visit in July," Karen F. describes about Mayfair Campground. These structured activities provide entertainment options beyond natural attractions.

What you should know

Reservation importance: Waterfront sites fill quickly, especially during peak season. "Hard to get a water site but overall nice place," Charles S. mentions about Delta Lake State Park Campground. Booking 3-6 months in advance is recommended for premium locations.

Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds operate from May to mid-October. "This state park is on the site of a lake created by a dam... recently added electricity to all the sites. Very popular area," explains Eric G. about Delta Lake State Park Campground, highlighting both amenities and popularity factors.

Site variations: Quality and features differ significantly between sites at same campground. "Loop a is quite open... nice overall," notes Charles S. about Delta Lake State Park Campground. Research specific site numbers when booking for best experience.

Variable shower facilities: Shower quality varies between campgrounds. "I'd 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," advises Chelsea B., providing practical insight for planning bathroom usage.

Tips for camping with families

Beach access: Multiple campgrounds feature designated swimming areas. "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," Brian O. describes at Green Lakes State Park Campground. Lifeguards typically work 10am-6pm during summer months.

Playground options: Look for campgrounds with updated play equipment. "They have recently added electricity to the sites and a new playground at the beach. The concession stand at the beach will deliver to your camp site," Amy W. shares about Delta Lake State Park Campground, noting amenities that enhance family camping experiences.

Kid-friendly scheduled events: Special activities geared toward younger campers. "Very family oriented... They offered a cute little wagon ride through the grounds," Erin M. recalls about Kayuta Lake Campground, mentioning one of several structured activities available for children.

Swimming conditions: Beach areas vary in quality and water clarity. "The beach can get busy during the summer however it is a great place to swim," reports Meag F. about Green Lakes State Park Campground. Early morning or weekday visits often provide less crowded swimming conditions.

Tips from RVers

Hookup variations: Not all sites offer full utility connections. "There are a lot of full timers here, so the grounds can look fuller than they really are as most often the majority of the full time sites are not occupied," Michael O. notes about Kayuta Lake Campground. Verify specific hookup options when booking.

Site dimensions: Some campgrounds have tight access roads. "The roadways can get a little tight between the trees, and can make for some interesting backing in. Also, the roadways are mostly one-way, which can make getting creative with your trailer landing position tough," Michael O. adds about Kayuta Lake Campground, providing practical considerations for larger rigs.

Dump station access: Check availability of sanitary facilities. "There is a dumping station to use, some sewer sites," Heather R. explains about Treasure Isle RV Park. Plan accordingly if your rig requires frequent waste management.

Water fill locations: Note water access points throughout campgrounds. "There is a water fill station when you enter but there are also a couple water spigots in our loop," explains Tris W. about Delta Lake, highlighting practical details for managing water tanks during extended stays.
