Well, it looks like the federal government shutdown has impacted recreation.gov.  Does that mean the campgrounds are closed too?

Our Apologies...
The Recreation.gov website is not available due to a lapse in funding for the federal government. As the situation evolves we will provide additional information about how our services and reservations may be affected. For now, the site is temporarily unavailable. We invite visitors to return to this site for additional information after this situation is resolved.

Yes, all federal parks and recreation facilities are shut down since there is no money left to pay anyone in this budget category. There are some budget categories that are still up and running and spending money.

The timing is not good for the folks who want to get in some fall camping unless they book sites at state, county, and private CGs, of which there are many.

Perhaps the government can save money and then reopen at a later date. No matter what party line anyone leans toward, another way to look at this government shut down is they are less likely to cause us citizens any mischief for a while.  ;D JMHO.

This is sad to see, I heard it would take a couple of weeks before we would start seeing any shutdowns but guess not.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised?
