A great KOA with great value. Close to Cooperstown and Dreams Park but also close to the state parks in the area. I think the Kamping Kabins could be a little cleaner but nothing crazy just some cobwebs thats all. It is always a pleasure to stay here!

First impressions is a lot for any business.. with that being said most importantly I will go back if I can.. but when we first arrived to the KOA Kampground welcome offfice we seen a note written on a piece of paper no pets allowed in the store.. ok we can respect that.. but upon entering there is a cat laying in a basket.. and a bigger dog laying on the floor.. and the store was a hot mess.. and there area to walk to the counter was the same.. the check in lady was great.. but it wasn’t a great first impression.. we came back a few days later to see items in the store and it didn’t get picked up still a mess and there was dog food all over the floor we had to watch were we stepped so we wouldn’t smoosh it in the floor all I kept thinking was mice will love this..so in my opinion that needs to be addressed it’s the first line of impressions ppl see. The grounds themselves were decent being a KOA even a journey you have certain expectations.. we rarely go to a KOA due to the cost.. the WiFi was excellent best I have seen.. the water was good it’s a little hard but it was manageable I used my own water after the 2nd day for coffee..all staff were friendly that we encountered..

Not all KOAs are created equal, and unfortunately our stay at Cooperstown KOA left a lot to be desired. It was our first time at this location. We stayed only one night in one of the cabins. The cabin itself was clean enough upon arrival, but it lacked some basic essentials. There were no extra paper towels, no sponge for washing dishes, and the patio furniture was in rough shape — with some chairs broken or held together with zip ties. The double bed was extremely uncomfortable. It honestly felt like sleeping on hay bales propped up on toothpicks — not a good night’s rest at all. For the price, I expected better upkeep and attention to detail. The campground overall was just okay. What really stood out was how many activities were completely shut down, which made the place feel empty and uninviting. One of the reasons we book KOA is for the activities and sense of community, so this was a letdown. Staff presence was another issue. Aside from check-in, it was the one and only time we saw staff around. Usually KOAs have a welcoming, attentive staff presence that makes the stay enjoyable, but that was missing here. I can not get over how highly rated this location is. This location simply does not deserve a 4-5 star rating. Unfortunately, we won’t be back in the future and I can’t say that I can recommend Cooperstown KOA.

We spent a couple nights while visiting Basball Hall of Fame. It's about 20 minutes away from Cooperstown. This place was great for a getaway for sure. It is very isolated though there is a small town about 5 minutes away. Really quiet and really dark. Seemed well kept.

First off this is not located in Cooperstown. It’s roughly 20-30 mins away so keep that in mind. This location is very rural…farm country. We rented a dog friendly cabin. Upon arrival we could tell that the cabin just had a quick turnaround and a once over. The floors weren’t even swept. Tub had a huge stain. Cabin was small but as expected. No TV in the cabin. Bunks in the cabin are for kids only as there was no way an adult is fitting. Campgrounds: It’s a smaller campground. Nice views of the surrounding areas. Maintained decent and you can see they are adding improvements. Small playground area. Very small basketball court. Pickle ball court (was being painted). Didn’t use the public showers or public restrooms. Sites had shade and most seemed to be pull through. “Dog park” is just a fenced in area. They seemed very strict on the firewood and outdoor mats. No outside firewood (even with in the DEC rules) and we did see one person that had to pick up there mat. Firewood price was $7 for 7-8 pieces. Never seen or heard of any campground activity available. Never seen staff or at least any staff wearing KOA gear through out the day. Pool was closed during our stay also.

KOA Journey is outstanding! The service, the cabin and the cleanliness was outstanding. We were attending Cooperstown all star baseball and were thoroughly satisfied with everything! This is the place to stay in a cabin or if you have an RV. We stayed in cabin but they have an employee meet you and back you in if needed. Awesome place. Basic arcade and pool. We loved it!

One of the best campgrounds I’ve seen. Everyone who worked there was so helpful and nice. It was tons of fun for the kids and adults. The pool was great. They were only booking every other tent site to promote social distancing. This is a wonderful place to stay; I would definitely recommend it. Can’t wait to go back.

I love the KOA chain! It is a very scenic location for a campground. It was wet and rainy when we stayed there a couple of days ago, but it did not dampen our spirits! The shower houses were better than I expected, the game room had a lot of fun games, it was clean and convenient. The staff are nice!

Had a quick one night stay on a trip and stayed two nights on our way back. First, the staff is extremely friendly. Probably some of the best we've met. Second, it's so peaceful and quiet here. The campground is immaculate, sites are beautiful and level and lots of space between each one. Dog park is clean and well kept, pool was spotless, and you can tell the owners take pride in their place. We would love to stay here again! Definitely one of the best KOA's we have been too.
