My friend sent this to me

    Just chatted with an agent from Disney's fort wilderness campground  and after asking "is the campground open during this corona/wuhan virus ?" I got this reply, copied and pasted "Yes, for the remainder of March. All hotels and campgrounds will reopen on April 1st."
 
Just watched Cuomo press conference.  NY is waiving fees at all NY state parks. So evidently they're staying open.

In other news all public beaches on SE coast of Florida are closed. It's spring break and the beaches have had huge numbers of people congregating. One local official declared spring break is over. Source is local morning news.

I received an automated call this morning stating that Bayou Segnette State Park outside New Orleans will be closing today or tomorrow to provide a support location for the states efforts to fight the virus,  that my upcoming reservation has been cancelled and I would be getting a refund on my credit card in 5 days or so.  At this time all other Louisiana state parks are open.  Also this afternoon Louisiana's governor order all theaters, bars and restaurants (excluding drive thru and delivery) to close effective midnight tonight.

p.s. just now an order came out to close all the riverboat and land based casinos in the state at midnight tonight (this apparently excludes the land based indian casinos in the state, which I assume is a jurisdictional thing)  mentioning this as many Casinos have RV parking.
 
All Navajo Nation Parks closed on March 11.

Florida State parks going to day use only (no overnight accommodations) with hours of 8a-5p, as-of this Friday, March 20th.

"
Out of an abundance of caution, all events, activities, special event reservations, pavilion rentals and camping reservations at Florida State Parks have been canceled for the next 60 days. Florida State Parks remain open for day use, however hours of operation have been reduced to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m." Source: https://www.floridastateparks.org/
 
The Florida State Parks Facebook page has additional information on the closing. Those with existing reservations that arrive by 5PM the 18th will be allowed in for the duration of their reservation. That suggests that those already on sites will not have to leave until their scheduled departure date.

At Topsail Hill Preserve SP in Florida they will be asking all the campers to leave on the 20th. We are currently volunteering at the park and we can stay until our scheduled departure date of 4-1.
 
Colorado State Parks are still open, though CPW says that they may look at closing parks as an option.
Call ahead to check.
