Just received notice from Mo state parks - Closed for camping until May1. Checked the COE website and they say closed also but i did not see a date for reopening. Looks like we will be going "yard camping".

This is part of a statement from Virginia State Parks yesterday:

Camping

Camping is open. We have increased disinfection and sanitizing procedures in bathhouse facilities but remind visitors to follow hand washing and disinfection procedures recommended by the CDC as a companion to our enhanced cleaning.

There are 28 state parks in Virginia that offer camping, some with full hookups.
