Forest - Clark Fork Campground Sonora, CA — Developed campgrounds in 12 of California’s 20 National Forests are now closed due to regional Stay at Home orders issued by Governor Gavin Newsom. Locally, it includes the Stanislaus National Forest. Others are the El Dorado National Forest, Plumas National Forest, Tahoe National Forest, Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, Sierra National Forest, Angeles National Forest, Cleveland National Forest, Inyo National Forest, Los Padres National Forest, San Bernardino National Forest and Sequoia National Forest. “This order will protect visitors and our employees by reducing exposure to COVID-19 and mitigating the further burden on limited healthcare facilities,” said Randy Moore, Regional Forester of the USDA Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Region. “Campgrounds, like other overnight accommodations, create opportunities for people from differing households and communities to gather, require maintenance and regular cleaning, and entice the public to travel distances far enough from home to necessitate overnight accommodation.”
