Closing the campgrounds will greatly reduce people traveling to and from the parks and going into towns for supplies. Far fewer people will be traveling to the parks if they can use them for day use only. Traveling spreads disease from one area to another, one group of people to another. Who in turn spread it to other areas. That’s how all this started.
I was kicked out of a CA campground, while the day use and restrooms remained open. I was camped well away from others, and self-contained. There were few other campers, and if more arrived the host could have spaced them out. The hosts were allowed to stay. This is snowbird migration season - especially Canadians -and we really need a safe place to layover.
On a nice day there were between 50 and a hundred day-use visitors, using the bathrooms, congregating as usual. There was even a wedding party.
It's closing the campground that makes people do more traveling. It did me, or I'd still be there.
