Don't know what to tell you. I really don't think that the shutdown will last that long either.
I did a quick search for camping in the area and came up with this

looks like they are more interested in horse people, but they may be able to put up with some 4WD Broncos for a weekend. They are located on Mullinax Rd. (road we take from the Outpost to get to Arrowhead campground.
Amenities:
Equestrian Camping in the Uwharrie National Forest
43 stalls, 34 corrals, 2 round pens
53 electric sites, many primitive sites
heated bath house
On site store with tack, sundries, ice, and dipped ice-cream
Church services Sumday AM 8:30.
Coffee and light breakfast foods before church
Please call for reservations. (336) 461-farm (3276)
Other options:
Camp on the trails. I'm not really enthusiastic about camping on the trails, but it could be done.
We may be able to talk to Scott Fields or the new owner of the stable property (across the street from the Outpost) to see if we could set up an area to camp in. It would probably be primitive (no electric, showers or bath house, hopefully at least a portable shit house, but I wouldn't count on it. Everyone bring their own bucket :bdent:
I say we keep the plans as is and give it til the end of October before we start panicking and scrambling for an alternative if it looks like the shutdown will continue through the event.
