Georgia camping
The Governor has just extended shelter in place until April 30th. Stopped all vacation rentals of less than 30 days. For now campgrounds will remain open.
Forum Discussion
I have a friend in Helen, GA camping at Unicoi right now.
Almost all the forest are closed, almost all the primitive and road side camping is restricted, lots of trails closed.
Parks and playgrounds are wide open.
We do not know for sure yet if the "lockdown" is the right solution. It seems to make sense, but we might have been dupped. You can argue this with things you heard on the news, but you cannot say for sure you know anything, so please do not try to argue this on a camping forum. The news is talking about it non-stop so trying to parrot something they have said, and everyone has heard, is not productive.
It was last Friday that GA went into this lockdown.
Heading into the remote areas violates "socialdistancing" yet a trip to the store does not, but GA has done this.
Ga beaches are not ever crowded like FL beaches, so they would not be under a lot of stress anyway.
