So looks like will need to continue camping through April 7 since we do not want to risk a violation.
the operative word in the "instruction" is may not is. they cannot stop you from doing essential things like medical, food shopping or getting repair items... it is non essential travel and gatherings they are trying to contain.

Nebraska Parks Are Open

Thankfully Nebraska parks are open for camping but events are cancelled as they should be. My work is essential and my camper allows me to avoid motels. Very easy to isolate myself this way.

Our plans were for Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks in Late May/Early June. As of last week both were closed indefinitely. So we have to wait and see in another month or so if we are going anywhere.

The Corps of engineers parks in South Caro;ina and Georgia are closed until the end of April. State parks in Georgia and South Carolina are closed until the end of Apri. It is a state by state thing, so you should check ahead before venturing out.l

Our home park in Mesa, AZ shut its gates a week prior to our leaving for OR on 3/15, then secured all buildings on the premises. Finally reopened the laundries & restrooms after some discussions with ownership, though the gathering places remain locked through 3/31. Same situation for all the other RV parks in Mesa. We traveled to Eugene for my son's wedding last weekend & had no issues staying at our usual parks in CA/OR. The casino parks in CA, though, closed up on 3/17 until further notice. Park patrons were friendly, but from a distance. Easy enough for us to stay in our trailer even now.

We're here volunteer in maintenance full time in our own state run parks. All state parks are completely closed to the public The State is allowing all volunteers currently at a park to extend their stays as long as necessary. However, there is no transfer to new parks allowed & new & returning volunteers can't come.
But, we are doing projects that would be impossible to do if the park had paying customers. We work in groups of 2.
We all have full hookup here. Travelling outside the park is discouraged. Fortunately, we have about 4 months of food & other necessities including emergency dehydrated & freeze dried products.
It is really eerie being in a big park with hardly anyone here, but it sure is quiet. Evening campfires are great too. It's essentially a gated community now
I can't think of a safer place for a full-time 5r to be.

Last year, we made a reservation for the week of April 13, 2020 at Springfield Campground, a Corps of Engineers campground on Lake Hartwell near Anderson, SC. Two weeks ago, I received notice that our reservation had been canceled due to Covid 19 and that I would receive a credit on my charge card that I used to make the reservation. I haven’t even tried to reschedule yet.

the Michigan Department of
Natural Resources is closing many amenities offered in state parks and
recreation areas, effective now through at least April 13.

State parks and recreation areas currently remain open to provide
residents with local opportunities to get outdoors; however, extensive
travel should be minimal – and reserved only for essential needs – and
effective social distancing (of at least 6 feet between yourself and
another person) is required so that unsafe conditions do not develop and
state-managed lands can remain open.

“We are doing everything possible to protect the health and safety of
visitors and staff at state parks and recreation areas,” said DNR
Director Dan Eichinger. “No matter how people are choosing to get
outdoors, it is critical that everyone follows the social distancing
guidelines. If they don’t, we will be forced to close public access to
all state-managed lands.”

Closures and reduction in services include:

* *Many park amenities have been closed* in order to minimize the
chance of people gathering in groups and/or maximize the environment
for effective social distancing. Current closures include, but are
not limited to, concessions, playgrounds and play equipment, viewing
platforms, fishing piers, GaGa ball bits, volleyball and basketball
courts, designated dog areas, disc golf courses, radio-controlled
flying fields, pump tracks, and picnic tables and shelters.
* *All bathroom buildings and vault toilets will be closed* in all
state parks and recreation areas, including those at campgrounds,
boating access sites, trailheads at state-designated trails, etc.
People are encouraged to plan accordingly to avoid needing a
restroom during a visit. Note: Over the next few days, vault toilets
will be closing. Many locations, where available, will be
transitioning to portable toilets that will be cleaned by local vendors.
* *There will be minimal trash service available*. Visitors are
encouraged to bring trash bags, if needed, to carry trash home and
minimize litter.
* *No hand washing stations will be provided*. Please carry hand
sanitizer or sanitizing wipes containing at least 60% alcohol, as
well as trash bags to carry out used wipes.
* *Additionally, *grooming of snowmobile trails* (the season closes
March 31) and grooming, brushing, grading and clearing of all
*nonmotorized trails and ORV trails are suspended* until at least
the end of the order. When out on any trail, be aware of
surroundings, including the potential for washouts or debris. To
report anything that could be a risk to other trail users, call
517-331-0111.
* *For the duration of this order, the DNR is unable to reimburse
trail sponsors or grant sponsors for any trail-related work.

We made a reservation at at Colorado state park last week, then they closed the campgrounds but kept the parks open for hiking. Moved to Colorado Springs KOA. We have been working at a camp at 9400 feet elevation for three months and came in contact with very few people Now we will just isolate in rv. We are full-time.

I think most of us will be camping in the drive ways until at least end of may or june. Us here in Canada don't have it as bad as my fellow friends south but we have been shutting things down weeks ago. Trying to stop the spread of it.

We have been in Port Orange Fl since 3/5, have reservations till 5/1. Pool is open its been in the high 80's low 90's, everyone is good about keeping distance. Most that are here have been for as long or longer than us.

Couldn't think of a better place to shelter in place

RV Parks -Covid-19

We are on our way home from Mesa, Az. So far no problem with our parks we normally stay at. We stayed at Ft Beale RV park in Kingman, Az and everything was open. Normal check in and bathroom and laundry open. Next went to Orange Grove iRV Park in Bakersfield, Ca. I was able to pull up and do everything over the phone, they also have distancing set up for check in. Bathrooms and laundry closed. We are at Cal Expo in Sacramento and they have distancing set up for check in and also phone check in availability. Bathrooms and laundry closed. I think it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Our NY county (Saratoga) is at 112 reported cases. Next door neighbor who is connected to many local groups knows of several people in town who are not reporting their symptoms and assume it is also the same elsewhere. I suspect that would push the real total way higher.


There are some that are like my wife and I who are taking it seriously. I had to drop off our tax info this morning. The guy who does it will not answer the door, requiring the paperwork be left on his porch and he will then sanitize the folder.



One of our poodlepups had a problem and had to go to the vet yesterday. Their way was when you arrive at the parking lot you call via cell phone, A tech with mask, gloves and scrubs will then take the dog. The doctor will then call you while waiting in the lot, give a diagnosis, advice then send the tech back out with a credit card reader along with the pooch. Our pup - a sprained back and is now on la la pills for a few days.


Of course, some aren't taking it seriously. A group of teen age boy were playing basketball at the local park. A visit by town security broke that fiasco up with a warning to their parents. Dumb!!
