There was no soap in the bathrooms, the sink in the women's restroom didn't work, and there was no hot water in the showers. Also, I know it's a small thing, but if you're traveling in a large group, you will want to know. The fire pit is placed in the corner of an elevated gravel rectangle which means there isn't room for campers to sit in a complete circle around the fire. Only a fraction of our camping group were able to sit close to the fire.

Half of the 240 volt power at our electrical hook up did not work so half of the items in our camper did not work without propane, including our water heater and refrigerator. I did check the outlet with a multimeter and verify the problem was with the outlet and not my camper. This problem was exacerbated by the fact that the hot water did not work in the women's shower. The sink in the women's bathroom also did not work and the sink in the breezeway on the men's side also did not work. All of this was reported to the rangers (who were very polite) but they informed us that maintenance staff would not make repairs on the weekend. This is a very beautiful and popular campground that is clearly not being well kept.

Site was large and easy to set up in. The loop we were in was nice and peaceful. Restrooms was great! The dump was a bit tight to maneuver. We did have an incident of a large dead limb falling on Rv while we were gone. Damage on hood but the house was ok. Glad we backed up the extra 5 feet or it would have hit center of roof. That is camping,

Great Ranger Staff at this park. Sites are large, parking is plentiful. The boat ramp and park amenities are good and well kept. A bargain for Seniors with a National Park Pass!

Nice place and volunteers,
I just wish they had sewer hook up at each site,they clean the bathrooms every morning but by evening they are in bad shape.
I even seen one if the other campers go up and clean Oneonta of the restrooms.
Still 4 stars but the state parks have sewer hook ups.

We were in Site 4 and while it was long enough, there are weird angles so it was difficult to line up the truck & camper to leave. If you have a longer fifth wheel, be careful with this site. Also, one leg of the 50 amp was open. We used the 30 amp to be safe.
