Campground closures are more to protect state and federal workers in those parks. Keep in mind most state parks are limited on full hook ups and many have none which means to be open they have to maintain common facilities like bathrooms and showers. One may ask well why can;t they close the bathrooms and showers, again Gov campgrounds have few full hookups and you cannot have a campground full of people crapping in the woods outside their RV or tent.
Whereas most private owned CG have full hookups which limits the exposure of staff and baths can be closed.
So I think the closures are warranted however maybe some parks with a majority of full hookups cold be opened...
Washington Parks closed yesterday so the entire cost is shut down right now.
I do not see how staying in an RV provides for better social distancing considering the confined space which requires more trips to the grocery store since your storage space is limited, also many to go out to do laundry. What contact you do have in a RV park you will be exposed to more people that you do not know unless you do not leave your tiny home. Smaller spaces when confined will have more negative physical and emotional impacts.

I think that is just not the case, but I am not saying you cannot be safe or better off either. Being near Seattle we are taking this seriously as we do know two people tested positive however. We simply do not allow any non family in our home. Even then it is only our children who are also staying confined. So I do not think an RV is nessasarily a safer environment then a stick home but it is all how you personally practice your distanceing
