Glimmerglass State Park Campground

This campground is at the north end of Otsego Lake less than 10 miles from Cooperstown. It's a great base for exploring Cooperstown. The Baseball Hall of Fame, Abner Doubleday Field and the nearby Ommegang Brewery are my favorite spots in Cooperstown, but there's such a diverse set of activities:

Water-based activities such as canoeing, kayaking, sailbaoarding

- Glimmerglass Opera

- Farmers' Museum

- Fenimore Museum

- a couple more breweries and a distillery

- and on and on

The park is a good place to stay during the fall colors season and also on Hall of Fame Weekend in late July, but book early!

We've camped here in a tent near Beaver Meadows

Idyllic setting in the fall when the leaves are changing 

great for families, the parking lots is huge, there's easy hiking on the grounds, and it's close to cooperstown- visit the baseball hall of fame!

the beach area here is huge!

We go annually with family and friends. The sites are a great size for accomadating two tents and have many people gather at meals. The beat grooms and showers are well kept.  The beach, trail to historic house, boating, fishing, and Cooperstown nearby keep everyone in the group entertained. We have also had some great star viewing here!

annual trip with family and friends

Glimmer glass is beautiful! The beach was gorgeous the campsite was a great size and secluded. I can't wait to go back next year!

Camp

Awesome beach camping experience. It's a beautiful campground and the campsites are pretty secluded. Best of all, you can bring your pets!

Beach camping!

The views at glimmerglass are wonderful. I have brought my dog swimming and hiking several times. The beach is great and well kept.

Quiet campground near Cooperstown. Lots of little shops and entertainment. Clean. Friendly staff. 

Glimmerglass in late September

They have a nice beach, beautiful lake near Cooperstown NY. Lots to do in the area.

Nice, small ,quiet

Facilities were clean and well taken care of. Everything was as listed. Staff were kind and helpful at check-in.

My site in particular was very cool. There was a footbridge leading to a secondary site that offered some privacy. 

Wonderful Experience

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. 

Excellent Campground

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.
