There is hope - we have reservations at Double Lake National Recreation Area (full hook up camping) Oct 11th. They said it's business as usual since they are mostly run by a private contractor. They just won't have any Forest Service personnel on-site. All campers, day visitors, mountain bikers and hikers are unaffected. So it is a good idea to check before you assume anything.
Spoke too soon - Double Lake (the one in Texas) was told to close the gates. Refunds for upcoming reservations on the way.
The government shut down has finally affected me. Now I'm pissed ....
