ONEIDA SHORES -- Oneida Shores is filling up quickly for Memorial Day Weekend, despite the fact that soggy weather has turned parts of the campground into a mud pit.

Campers we spoke with Friday night say they look forward to this weekend each year, saying it's a family tradition. 

"We look forward to it, this is the start of our summer," said Brad Delamater, who's been driving more than three hours from Pennsylvania with his family for nearly a decade.

But campers hitting County Parks this year will notice a difference in pricing on weekends and holidays.  Rates have increased $1, making it $6 per car.  That's on top of high gas prices that are nearly a dollar higher than they were this time last year.  Campers we spoke to, however, say it's not impacting their Memorial Day plans.

What about you?  How do you plan on spending your Memorial Day Weekend?  Are you changing your plans because of high gas prices?
