We reserved our Glimmerglass State Park campsite for July 11-13. Our actual trip, however, wasn’t til the following weekend. Doh! By the time we realized our mistake, no sites remained.

Chalk it up to overwork (not a senior moment, thank you very much) and look at the bright side: Pitching your tent 20 miles away at Gilbert Lake State Park means you get to see gorgeous scenery you might otherwise miss. Enjoy…and let’s hope New York State retains that moratorium on fracking.
