Yes! Not closed to residents!
They can't leave again nor can non essential Americans cross into Canada.

Youth site is CLOSED through April 15.
Park Office is CLOSED to the public but staff are still available.

Well it was inevitable but Manitoba Parks Campgrounds have suspended booking until April 17. I doubt it will happen at all this year the way things are going.

My work was scheduled to take me to a jobsite 2 hours from home for approx. 5 months this summer, starting mid-may. Although my company pays for room and board when I travel, I found a campground about 10 miles from the site offering an incredibly good rate on a seasonal site, and I booked it in early January, before the Covid-19 hysteria hit. I figured I would be much more comfortable in my TT than in a hotel room, not to mention the added bonus. I made arrangements with my employer, and offered them a substantial deduction in lodging fees from the cheapest hotel in the area (50% less) The campground is charging me about 30%, so the other 20% goes in my pocket, along with my standard per-diem rate. Its a win-win for me. Im not excited about camping in the same spot all summer, we enjoy moving around, but heaven forbid this virus decides to hang around awhile, at least I'm getting my camping fix!!
I was concerned that the campground would be closed due to the virus, but they allowed me to bring the camper out Saturday and get it all set up. They will only allow seasonal rentals, and will be keeping an open site in between campers Until the virus breaks. Usual amenities are closed up, as far as restrooms, pool, laundry, ect, and the camp store will be doing curb-side service. They are currently not allowing camp visitors.
Funny sidenote: My neighbors across the street recently retired over the winter and bought a $100k motorhome. Frustrated that they may not get to use it this summer, last week they told me not to laugh at them if I see them camping in their yard. I told them there are 4 out of 8 of us on this street in the development with campers... If it came down to it, we could all schedule a weekend to camp in our yards, like a little block party! (while socially distancing, of course)

We live in Alberta, Canada where all Provincial and Municipal campgrounds have been closed until further notice. All Provincial Parks and Recreational Areas are closed to camping and vehicle traffic. These closures have been in effect for a few weeks already. I am not sure about privately run campground facilities in the province.
