Unadilla KOA

Seasonal campers occupy many waterfront sites along the creek at this KOA, while transient visitors typically find spots one or two rows back from the water. The campground accommodates RVs up to 70 feet with full hookups and provides tent sites with electric service near the creek, though some tent sites use 50-amp plugs requiring adapters for standard 120-volt equipment.

October brings peak foliage season and steady traffic despite the campground's location off main highways. Many sites remain quiet during shoulder season, as Deborah W. notes: "Sites range from typical large rig to dispersed tents next to a creek." The single bathhouse serves the property, and a dog play area provides space for pets.

Water system issues occasionally affect individual sites, and the proximity between some camping spots creates close quarters with neighbors. The campground operates seasonally from May through mid-October, with a pool that remains open into early fall. For a different experience, East Sidney Dam Rec Area offers more dispersed camping just southeast of Franklin.

Visitors often highlighted spacious sites accommodating large RVs with scenic creek views. Several guests reported infrastructure issues including electrical problems and dated facilities, though staff assistance was available when needed.

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.

Affordable KOA

A bit off the beaten path for a KOA, but nearly sold out in early October nonetheless. Sites range from typical large rig to dispersed tents next to a creek. The tent sites with electric like the one we took used 240v 50A plugs, so we had to borrow a converter plug form the office for our 120v equipment. Only one bath house and it’s a bit dated. Very pet friendly including a dog play pen. Pool looked nice and was still open in early October.

Gorgeous stream view

It looks like permanent campers take up most of the real estate along the stream, but we lucked out with a spot one row back with two empty sites in front of us. With the autumn foliage, it was a spectacular camp site. No one problems getting out 40ft coach parked. Very quiet stay.

Friendly staff, tight conditions

It was a good thing that qe had friensly neighbors as we could step from our camper into theirs. Campground was having some issues with water system and our site lost electricity while we were there. We were close to the drive-in so we were able to catch a movie while we were there.
