Autumn Retreat

This is a great property for enjoying a real lake experience. You wake-up with a fresh-brewed cup of coffee and watch the sun rise on the lake from the porch or the dock. Perfect location on the west side just past 5-Mile Point for quick access to Cooperstown, Glimmerglass State Park, and the theater ( when in season). Nancy and Armin have really done a great job making Camp Champion perfect for both couples and family getaways.

Long weekend getaway

Camp Champion is charming and cozy. Armin and Nancy were very attentive and accommodating. The house was well stocked with all that we could / would need for our stay. The water access was great and the lake and surroundings were beautiful. Great place to stay with lots of different activities from Cooperstown to horseback riding, water sports, golf and more. Would highly recommend this vacation rental.
