With the new COVID-19 curfew order, we can imagine that many of you are wondering if it has any impact to camping in the State Parks System. Since campsites hav...e standard quiet and curfew hours, the curfew will not impact your camping experience. Additionally, current guidelines do not allow visitors to congregate with others outside their immediate household. #COVID19 is spreading quickly, creating even more dangerous conditions for essential workers that take care of us through this crisis. Thanks for your partnership as we collectively enable responsible recreation that protects the health of visitors and the dedicated parks staff. Details on the new curfew can be found online at www.covid19.ca.gov.
