Finding a Campsite in Shenandoah National Park Just Got Easier. Thank Technology

Shenandoah National Park is launching a new alert system to notify subscribers about campsite availability and hazards or closures within the park, officials said this week.

On the weekends, subscribers will receive an afternoon message detailing the number of first-come, first-serve campsites that are available within the park. They will receive another notification when the last campsite is claimed, notifying them that the campgrounds have reached full capacity. Hikers can make camping reservations for Shenandoah National Park up to 6 months in advance via Recreation.gov, but each campground retains a certain number of first-come first-serve campsites as well. yahoo!finance
