The latest casualties of the State budget deficit have been announced. According to the DEC, five of the State's 250+ campsites will not be reopening for the season. Included are Sharp Bridge in Essex County, Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain, Essex County, Point Comfort on Piseco Lake, Hamilton County, Tioga Point on Raquette Lake in Hamilton County, Beaverkill in Roscoe, Sullivan County. The five sites had a combined operating loss of $125,000 in 2007, according to Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Pete Grannis. Employees of the sites will be transferred to other campsites so that those locations can start losing money.
