The camping window in this part of central New York runs from mid-spring through mid-fall. Unadilla / I-88 / Oneonta KOA Journey operates from May 1 through October 15, and the Oquaga Creek State Park camping season runs from mid-May through early September. Some Oquaga Creek facilities, including bathrooms, the concession stand, and certain campsites, are not available after Labor Day.
