State by State Campground Closures & Responses to COVID-19 **

** Last updated: 4/15/2020

Recreational camping is not advisable during this time.

Campground Closure Stats This Week

• Over 44% of RV parks, campgrounds and dispersed camping locations in the United States listed on Campendium are closed or operating with restrictions.

• Most National Park campgrounds in the U.S. are closed and thirty-two states have closed their all of their state park campgrounds.

• Over 20% of campgrounds in Canada are closed, including National Park and most Provincial Park campgrounds.

In addition to the National Parks closing, I’m also seeing that some BLM Land is closing to boondockers.

I’m also hearing from folks I’ve met on the road that some National Forests are still open

While most of us are ordered or at least advised to stay home and self-isolate during this pandemic, I think we are allowed to get out for some fresh air and exercise as long as we maintain social distancing. In this regard, how about enjoying a hike with our loyal dog.

Most importantly, stay safe and maintain social distancing to protect others as well.
