Thanks, Ray.

Good information.

And, since  the closing/re-openings are in a state of flux, best to call before heading out AND immediately before arriving.

I am not shure I understand how stopping people from camping overnight is stopping the spread? Most of the campgrounds I have seen are pretty dispersed. Social distancing = new politically correct term. Dallas will ticket you if you are observed walking or jogging to close.

I don't think the idea is to stop anyone from camping overnight. The campgrounds are full and many are letting those that are already there stay (extended stay). There just isn't anymore room.  Many have the caveat at the end "No new campers," and indicates those already there can stay. At least I hope it is that way.

We travel for 5 months or so during the summer and stay at military facilities when we can.  We are not looking to head out until all this blows over, and I hope it does.
