To my fellow campers who used Observation Knob campground over Memorial weekend: Did you know our Sullivan County Commission has voted to make all the campsites, except the ones on the water, seasonal? Next year we will be lucky to even get a site, much less our favorites in the trees and on the hills. They won’t be available.
If we had been given notice that such a vote was being taken, we could have raised our objections and concerns. A public announcement should have been made a week before the vote so the people could have had a voice in this terrible decision. We finally get a close place to camp and they shut us out again.
Come on people, voice your opinion with a letter or a call to your county commissioner.
