As of yesterday the COE had not shut down campgrounds. Truth be told there is no reason to do this... Sites are generally far enough apart to be "Socially distant" you can wave but you got to get out and walk some to shake hands.
COE shutdown campgrounds in Florida, at least Ortona South. Here is an email I received yesterday.
We're sending you this message because of your Recreation.gov reservation, 0225468871-1, at ORTONA SOUTH for Fri, Apr 17, 2020 - Sun, Apr 19, 2020.
A location closure has been issued for ORTONA SOUTH from Wed, Mar 18, 2020 - Thu, Apr 30, 2020 due to Public Safety Concerns .
Since this location closure overlaps with the dates for your trip, we wanted to provide you with options for how you can proceed:
Cancel your reservation and receive a full refund.
You can review and cancel your reservation under the "My Account" section on Recreation.gov.
Credit/debit card payments will be refunded to the card associated with your account, or you'll receive a refund check in the mail if you paid by cash or check (please allow up to 8 weeks).
Hold your reservation (no action required) and see if the location reopens prior to your visit.
If the location reopens before or during your reservation and you have not cancelled, you'll be able to take your trip. You will receive an email from ORTONA SOUTH indicating the location has reopened, and all standard change and cancellation policies will apply to your reservation.
If the location remains closed at the start of your reservation, we will cancel your reservation and provide a full refund.
