Kicked out of campgrounds??

We never stay in federal government run campgrounds, so, no, we haven't been kicked out. We did have to leave an RV park due to flooding. We used our Good Sam app and quickly found another RV park nearby.

The only time we were at a national park during a shutdown, we were allowed to stay, but new arrivals were not allowed in. The only time we were told to leave a national park was when a grass fire was nearby and high winds were expected. The town suspended enforcing an ordinance prohibiting overnight stays in a parking lot, and a local shopping center allowed a bunch of us to stay there until it was safe to return to the park the next day.

Bummer for those whose holiday plans were messed up. Probably some extra Walmart "campers" this weekend.

I thought they were run by Xanterra?

There are some nice Corps of Engineering campgrounds you are missing out on.

“We never stay in federal government run campgrounds,..”

Why? Some of the beautiful are federal campgrounds.

I thought that was some kind of ED drug :B

We were at a Corp of Engineer park when a shut down occurred and had already paid for an additional 5 nights (cash). They came around and told everyone we had until noon the next day to leave. We used rvparkreviews.com to locate other parks in the area. When we went back thru the next spring, we made a notation on our envelope of dates we were staying and that we were taking the additional 4 days credit from the shutdown times and stated if there was a problem to please come see us at the site. No one ever showed up asking for additional funds. We gave dates and details in the note so they could have verified we were indeed in the park at the time of the shutdown and what our payment had been.

None of them are being shut down this time.

Recreation.gov for Texas Corp of Engineers has a notice on their website that says not to attempt to make reservations starting December 22nd until further notice.
