Seems like one of the better places to hide out. No permanent population. Not a ton of people to absorb the impact of new visitors.

It was open yesterday when I drove in. Ended up camping in washes. All my camping buddies canceled on me so out here solo.

If it dose not say camp ground where your camping at then it’s open they can only enforce where it says campground in the name

That's what I read too. Established and maintained camp grounds are closed.

It's closed, I was out there today and the ranger said they are closing the park down after this weekend. They are going to start citing people in the park starting Tuesday.
