Could not have been more accommodating. Easy check in. The kids liked the game room and got a kick out of the phone booth! Cute camp store also with fair prices. Convenient for Cooperstown and Howe Caverns.

We love it here! Quiet, owners are nice... we come every year at this time, place is empty! See you next year!

We really enjoyed our time in the campground. Our spot was great and it was so peaceful and quiet. We came because our grandson was playing baseball and we really had a great time.

We booked sight unseen to stay with our travel trailer for 4 days. It’s a beautiful spot and incredibly well maintained. The owners are out there fixing and cleaning for hours on end and it really shows. We especially loved the fishing ponds as you can see! Lots of big largemouth bass and panfish! Would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay! Our tent site was up on a higher bank between the two ponds. We found a flat spot that would drain if there was rain. Our setup day was very hot and humid and so we loved the slight breeze we could catch from our site. At night it was magic - the sounds of many types of frogs making happy low level noises all around us. There was only one other tent at the other side of the loop so our stay felt very private. One note - the water is really gross - I recommend planning for that by bringing in your own for drinking/cooking. The office says it's potable and I believe it, but it's a bit discolored and highly chlorinated. Good for hand washing! Thanks so much!
