With the warmer weather, a lot of people are getting cabin fever and want to go outside or, perhaps, to a state park. But many viewers aren’t sure if they can.
One viewer called our coronavirus hotline and said, “We had reservations to go to a state park to stay in a cabin tomorrow.” Another caller asked, “If we have a fully-enclosed, fully self-sufficient RV, is it a violation to go to a state park and camp at an RV site?"
