There were several campers that complained about him running around like this in front of their kids. Their response is that can't do anything about it.

I have gone to this place over the years and it happens every time.... 3.they purposely call cops to come onto the grounds and shine flashlights around on everybody's campgrounds at late hours to try and keep everybody in check. I have seen the park manager "the blond girl" from the woods laughing it up with the cops after they went threw and disturbed everybody....... 4. they sit there and watch you like HAWKS from the minute you pull up you will have people staring at you till the moment you leave and are pulling out they will be sitting there in lawn chairs starring at you. anybody that has anything good to say about this place rent from the RV park and get the special treatment because they have a seasonal pass... Talk to the campers.

I live nearby Cole Park, but go there only occasionally. Everywhere out here in the Town of…read moreColesville is beautiful, so we don't need to escape a noisy city, or nosey neighbors. The swimming area is clean and lifeguards are on duty. There's adequate snack items availavle,available, various watercraft for rent to cruise around the pond. The scenery is postcard level, and the parking and picnic facilities are outstanding. If you want to make it a more fulfilling day for the kids, Cole Park is only a hop & a skip away from world famous Animal Adventure Park. A wonderful day is in store for you with a swim, picnic, and a visit with an amazing menagerie of exotic animals. I highly recommend Cole Park for the entire family. Have big fun!

The first beach I've met in Binghamton. Of course, it's an upstate beach. I, being a downstater who…read morelived on the Atlantic ocean all my life, could never get quite comfortable with a beach of no waves. At least there is real sand on the beach - imported of course. There is swimming for about 40 feet in, and then there are boat and kayak rentals for the rest of the lake. Let me tell you something - Kayaks aRe fun! You can go so fast in them. I towed both my friends with my kayak last time, they are wimps! Boats are pretty boring to me, I could never get the oars right. Oh, as of last year, kayak and boat rentals are free. wait... FREE! Even 1 dollar is a deterrant based on principle. Here it is so easy. So THIS is where my tax dollars are going... 5 stars for free kayaks. Love kayaks.

Who are they serving and how in God's name do they cut down a tree with baby owls in it?

One of the people there was being a total creep to my daughter! She was just trying to go to the bathroom. Second of all the workers freaked me and my kiddos out. Also, it rained and my campsite was completely flooded. There was a giant dent in the ground which it got flooded. We couldn't even get a refund on our camp! I do NOTICE recommend this camp. Me and my family will NEVER return!!

It's been like that even back in the 70s ..... then there is the MAJOR parking problem. There is also a dirt ramp next door but it's very shallow also a very small parking area . Once in the water you need to stay in n the water because there is no public shoreline to pull up to and there is a privately paid patrol to keep you off the miles of empty shoreline. The state beach and campgrounds does not have a boat launch and is about eight miles from the boat launch ( by water ) much longer by road . ..... good luck !

Be prepared for crowded trails on the weekends, including many people walking their dogs. If you can get there during the week, there'll be a lot less people.

It has the lovely Onondaga Park surrounding its shore to the north side. Unfortunately it's still one of the most polluted bodies of water in North America due to all the industry pumping sh** into it. No doubt our new President won't be doing much to clean it up, that goes without saying. If it were cleaner and safer for swimming, I'd definitely give it 5, but it's still one of the highlights of the SYR area. Can you daga that?
