Federal Park Camping and Looming Government Shutdown

Will be there 2nd week of October also. Don't see the shut-down actually happening but I guess it would be a play it by ear kind of thing. Not sure what they will do when they have hundreds of campers sitting in the Sugarlands parking lot. Just like the sequester, impact the most visible places. Heck, I think the campgrounds, especially Elkmont pay for themselves pretty handily.
