    Bought our new trailer a month ago. We didn't really do anything for the first two weeks because needed to shop for trailer supplies and a few needed upgrades (can't sleep with dumb frosted door window without a shade...).

    Since then did a one night test run, then went up north to weekend to a lake for two nights. There seems to be some private parks open for the most part, even if the state and national ones are only allowing day use.

    Admittedly we were going to take a longer trip to visit family on Puget Sound, but with WA locked down there's not much point since we can't go anywhere, rent a boat, go out to eat, etc. So unfortunately some plans don't work out...

    Private campgrounds in Pennsylvania were never directed to close being designated "life sustaining business". This is at the discretion of each campground too. Of course there isn't much to do once you set up camp other than roast a marshmallow on the fire.

    You might want to check out Freecampsites.net
    I see a bunch within a short drive of Bangor, which you have listed as your home.

    You are right, if a little effort is applied then most who are trying to blame something for their lack of motivation could be out in their RVs.
    However.....if you look at the sites that come up with the link you provided they are rest areas, Walmart, Cracker Barrel or Home Depot lots , which have been shut down at least around my part of the state and I'm probably no more than 60 miles south from OP.. The actual campgrounds I saw are state parks, again shut down for now. Unlike the west most forested and natural lands are owned or controlled by the states in the northeast.

    All campgrounds were closed except for people living there full time. They just got the OK today to open this Friday, except for state parks. They can open on May 14th.

    Gov. Abbott started re-opening Texas today. So far Texas State Parks haven't taken the bait and are still closed to camping.

    Come on! RV Campers are know for "social distancing!"

    Yeah I saw on Facebook. I know our regular spot is still not opening until the 22th I think at this time. There are a ton of restrictions in place as well. Pretty much it's you can come up but you pretty much got to stay on your site for the most part.
