I would strongly suggest you call ahead. It has been all over the news tonight and nights previous that a shut down will effectively and immediately close the National Parks.

Although its little consolation, there is probably a good chance you will be able to file for a refund. This summer we canceled our last night in a Sequoia NP campground and stayed the night in a park lodge to get packed and cleaned up for the plane ride home. Had to cut out at 3 in the morning. Had no problem getting refunded as long as I left by checkout.

Of course you will have to wait on your refund until the govmint goes back to work. eek
