NY cancels camping reservations in Thousand Islands

Here’s the kind of thing that tourism businesses hate hearing.

New York’s state parks officials are canceling hundreds of camping reservations at sites across New York — the lion’s share in northern New York.

This from the Associated Press:

State parks spokeswoman Eileen Larrabee confirmed Monday that the agency has notified the individuals about the cancellations and given them full refunds. Of the 12 parks, six are in the Thousand Islands region in northern New York. The dozen parks canceling camping reservations are some of the state system’s smallest in terms of the number of campsites offered, with a total of about 450. There are 8,355 campsites and 817 cabins in the parks system, Larrabee said.
