To make people think like they were really that low on numbers. Those numbers are not the truth and I can prove it (for one of the six parks). but it would not make a difference, they still would close them. The state will not save $1 by the closing these 6 parks. They are keeping all of the positions and dropping the parks. Which bring in revenue, no matter how little (compaired to the hungry hippos). They will actually lose money by closing them and still paying the workers. Your right everyone who enjoys these parks are being punished by their political choice. The genius decision of some guy who got a 100% on a civil service test thinks it will save the state $. With this uneducated leadership, its easy to see why this happened. Hopefully, they are not complete idiots and close these parks for good. They should re-open in about 4-6 yrs (all 6 parks).

I was going for 10 days, taking our kayaks, need to be on water site. That's the whole point of my vacation & why we plan so far ahead. my camper is 30 ft long with slide out, slim choices. All of our campers are min. of 24 ft. NYS DEC has no consideration for campers! No, sites with water access like we had gone. I was going for 10 days, taking our kayaks, need to be on water site.

Surely it is still early enough to find a spot somewhere? That is a real bummer, especially if you have to plan ahead and manage a large group.

July 4th now gone, my family & friends all camping there. NOW the DEC thinks that we can just find another campground to go to, here's a Suprise for you.. THEY ARE ALL BOOKED! I had a water site for 10 days, my BIG vacation for the summer, GONE. if the NYS DEC wanted to close the campground, should have done so before letting everyone plan there summer camping trips. THIS IS HORRIBLE & UNFAIR. We already made our reservations for our summer vacations to Point Comfort. July 4th now gone, my family & friends all camping there.
