455 George SpahmerI have planned several trips to this camp site. It is in an awesome location. It would be a shame to close it. Goverment leaders should look elsewhere for their cost reductions. There is not enough saving here to even bother.

458 Ricardo RodriguesGreat campground, would be a shame to see it go away..
459 Jill LeightyThe closure of a Historic Landmark ; used for decades as a wholesome affordable retreat by families as well as avid sports fisherman IS UNTHINKABLE !!!!!!!!!!!! Jill A. Leighty
460 Paul KalacMr. Janeway, Overused campgrounds that would benefit ecologically from a closure should have been considered, not the BeaverKill Campground. It is a quiet campground, the kind seasoned campers seek in NYS.

462 Benjamin D. EvansAlthough I am not a resident of New York State, I am concerned about the preservation and maintenance of the Beaverkill Covered Bridge. “ What I think our main concerns would be is the possible loss of the money that’s been allocated, but not delivered, to fix the bridge because they might feel not enough use will be served by the bridge. Also security might be an issue if there are very few people around, and fewer in charge of maintaining, the chances of vandalism of this property now on the National Historic Register increases dramatically.”

464 Rebecca GoreI have been going to Beaverkill since I was a little baby, and my parents since they were small children. It would break my heart to see it close.

466 Brian BradyPlease keep this campground open as it is very enjoyable and peaceful. We like to use it when we go flyfishing in the area.
467 James WalshPlease consider, Mr. Janeway, that in these tight economic times that people are likely to seek out their recreation closer to home. They will also be turning to more affordable forms of recreation, such as camping. Thank you.

469 William PetermanWith the economy the way it is should we really be closing down the very simple things that families can still do relatively cheap. Camping is a great alternative to more expensive vacations and is still a great way for families to enjoy time together.
470 Thomas LenehanI am not a NY resident, but I am a NJ one who regularly goes to the catskills to fish. Camping at Beaverkill is a big draw for me, cheaper than a room and better than driving up there 2X a weekend. Please keep Beaverkill open.

473 kevin lightlePlease let me know if there are volunteer activities required to help this stay open.

480 Mark McIntoshI am presently not a resident of the state but spent many years as a child playing at the campground. Given the economic realities of the country and the significant increase in campground use because of the economic downturn, your announcement to close the campground rings hollow.
481 tom browni,wholeheartiley agree with the above statement by mr.janeway.

487 Mark A. WheelerThe Campground allows us to combine two sports at the same time, flyfishing and camping.

489 Patricia ValekLocal families nees local places to come together in these economic times. Shame on you. Please reconsider this decision.
490 Alfred J. SargenteClosing the Beaverkill Campground would be devastating to the local economy. The relatively small amount of money that would be saved by the State, would cause much greater losses to local businesses and towns. That is not what we need at this time to create economic stimulus. In fact, it is ANTI-economic stimulus. It also deprives many families from all over the State an economical vacation in these tough times. PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE THE BEAVERKILL CAMPSITE.

494 Diane MacInnesPerhaps this will sound jaded, but I wonder if the proposed closing of the campground is a surreptitious attempt to further the push for natural gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale by reducing tourism in the area, thereby reducing the outcry against the destruction of our waterways and sport fishing areas. If so, please know this will not go unnoticed.
