I think the person who guessed that they shutdown because all the government sites that they link to are shutdown. An explanation screen would have been good tho. Something like we'll be back when the government is back in operations.

I've sent a PM to a person who used to be involved with that site -- she may be able to clear things up -- I am hoping that all is well with that site. It is tremendously useful -- there are things listed there that are not on rvparkreviews, and the campground descriptions are excellent.

That is (was) a very useful site by a couple that visited USFS campgrounds and posted very useful and detailed into on them. I've used it plenty of times. I'm surprised it was affected by the shutdown. Maybe since it referenced US gov't websites the owners decided to take that route, rather than get a bunch of questions on why something didn't work.

Yeah it's the shutdown, I recall in the 2013 shutdown that USGS did the same thing.

It is, or was, a very useful site that had a lot of info on almost all NF campgrounds in the nation, cataloged by state and forest. As to the shutdown being the cause, I don't know if that would be the case. Too me, it came across as a site started and maintained by an RV'ing couple that had visited the sites, or at least accessed info and combined with their own info to provide a centralized spot for anyone to look through. Not really a blog or their blog, but a very useful comprehensive site. Has been mentioned and linked many times on these forums.

I haven't tried to log on, and don't know how anyone could if you haven't "joined" before! Can't see any way to "join"!!!

Guess it could have had the evil guvmint hiding inside, deceiving us all along!!!!!
