Cooperstown KOA Journey

Zachary Sweet

This was our second time staying at Cooperstown KOA Journey and will be our last. We arrived late Thursday evening to find our site as we remembered from our previous visit, and settled in nicely - got the kids settled and enjoyed a fire in our solo stove before turning in for the evening. Things went south when we went to the office in the morning to check in - while in the office we were informed that the campground was changing ownership that day - no big deal. However, while in the office a group of employees were very obviously talking about our group. “They had the biggest bonfire I’ve ever seen”. (Have you seen a solostove? You can’t really have a huge fire in one…). “Their annoying dogs wouldn’t stop yapping” (our dogs barked maybe three times the entire weekend). At one point someone in our group interjected and pointed out that we were standing right there but that did not seem to phase the unprofessional employees. For the rest of our stay we were made to feel uncomfortable with employees shooting glares at us as they passed through the campground. To make matters worse, our site was directly across from two work camper sites. We are nearly full time RVers, staying in over 25 campgrounds per year. Normally interacting with work campers is one of our favorite parts of travel, hearing their stories, sharing ours, etc. Unfortunately these were the employees talking about us. I won’t spend too much time knocking amenities as new ownership may remedy some of this but a few things that cannot go unmentioned are the dismal water pressure in both rv sites and cabins, pervasive sewer smell across the campground at all hours of the day, as well as the pool liner that is completely detached. Otherwise, the location of the campground is picturesque, and conveniently located near Cooperstown and many attractions. If you’re looking for a pricey KOA that will make you feel uncomfortable every moment of your stay, look no further. Otherwise, pick somewhere else.

This is an absolutely gorgeous piece of property. No beach or lake but the pastures and fields are just beautiful, and the heated pool is very large and clean. Cows mooing in the fields and being transferred between pastures is awesome to watch. The owners and staff keep the facilities emmaculate, and are super accomadating to the patrons. Very nice place for rvs or tenters.

stunning place - large and loads of shade. A bit of a drive to town - but the route is along the lake. Well set up in general - however the back in sights have quite a slope. Had to use 4 inches of blocks to level my short class C

My wife and i have stayed at this KOA twice. Most recently the staff went out of their way to supply me with necessary hardware to make a minor repair to our 5th wheel. I have read a lot of complaints about the staff being 'strict' with rule enforcement. We are thankful for rule enforcement as this is what is expected when camping at a KOA. Also forgot to mention, the WIFI was absolutley GREAT...best of any campgrounds we have ever visited!!
