Total for this stay was 7 days. We had a full hook up site (listed as deluxe?) right on the West Canada Creek. Site was level and clean. Not the biggest sites we have seen but not the smallest. Our site was right next to one of the “lodges” which are not bad for someone who is traveling without a camper. Water, electric, sewer and cable TV worked well. Wi-Fi had intermittent problems, even though we where maybe 40 feet from the transponder. Found it best to walk over toward the rest rooms (where the transponder is located) and go on line from one of the picnic benches. The kids & the wife had a total blast tubing many times down the West Canada Creek. I went down it once but, after my butt bounced off a few rocks. I said that's enough for me! The campgrounds are located within a reasonable drive of Cooperstown and a bit of a further drive to the Adirondack Park. We did both. Both drives are very scenic. Indian lake in the Adirondack’s is a nice destination. The Diamond mine, which is located up the hill and across the street from the campground, was worth the trip. It's hard work in the grueling sun, but we did pull a few specimens out of the rocks. Overall a good trip and a good campground, I would recommend and will probably return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for 2 nights: one night on the way to Lake Ontario and one night on the way back. Ok, so as you approach the campground is very clean and the roads are in good shape. On our first stop, we got a W/E pull-through site. The reason I gave the campground a 7: for one thing you face door-to-door the person in the site next to you (no privacy). Two: there was no fire-ring for our site. Third: the 30amp electric was running low on my meter (110V). Now, the good news. The W/E/S pull-through site we stayed at on the way home, was much better. It had a gravel pad, fire ring, privacy, better internet reception, cable TV, electric running at 120V, and was only 6 dollars more then the W/E site. (Yes: the W/E site was a rip off.) Even better, this campground is close to a lot of nice things to do: such as Herkimer Diamond mines, Baseball Hall of Fame, Erie Canal boat trips, and so much more. We would stay again, just never at the W/E pull-through sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We are new to trailer camping, this is our first camper. This campground was very nice. We stayed at the deluxe site right on the river. The view was awesome, the kids loved it. We went tubing and visited the diamond mine and had a wonderful time. The bathrooms were clean and the store was well stocked. We will go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stay at KOA's often. This was by far the worst we have stayed at. We pulled into a muddy spot.We asked to move and were charged extra for it instead of having a move out of courtesy. Bathrooms were dirty. The campground very buggy. There is not much here. A nice pool was the only plus. We won't return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is a very nice clean park on the West Canada Creek near Middleville, NY. It is very well kept up and has some great fishing and kayaking on the West Canada. There is also an excellent Restaurant (Cyrstal Chandelier) located across the highway for enjoyable eating. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the worst KOA we have stayed at, ever. We have been camping over 30 yrs and I have never been so upset about a place. This is geographically half way between us and our grandchildren. We get them for a week in the summer. So we stayed here last year, there were flies galore, and we were told this was not the norm. So we reserved again this year, one month in advance. I wanted full hook ups. We get there and they did not have our reservation, and put is in a field, next to a diesel pusher. OMG the smell from that (the black water) was unbearable. We left early. And again the flies. We had made reservations for the next weekend at the same time so we were all set for 2 wks. We get there and they put us in the same spot. I had requested a specific area and was told ok, no problem. The flies were back, and we ended up not staying. I will never go back to this area again and make sure I tell everyone what a lousy place this is. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
