Where Things Stand At Our National Parks

Our national parks are beginning to open up for visitors. Some are more open than others. Some are allowing camping and some aren't. 

If one is wondering where they can go to now, Thrillist has all 62 listed with current conditions.

They begin with:
With Memorial Day in the rearview, summer adventure season is now in full swing... well, relative to our moment in history, at least. And while many of our treasured national parks were shuttered throughout the spring -- when the world's health is at risk, even Smoky the Bear has to do his part to flatten the curve -- many are now, finally, offering visitors a chance to play in our greatest outdoor spaces.  
With 62 parks in the system all adopting different policies on reopening, it can be hard to keep track of what's open right now. To help save you the embarrassment of driving across multiple states only to be met with an empty ranger station, we're keeping tabs all of them to tell you what's open, what services are available, whether you can camp, and what you're allowed to do once inside. 
Hopefully, this list will change quickly as more and more of these national treasures open up to responsible, respectful, and safe use. The list is current as of June 1, 2020. We'll be updating each and every one of them things progress.
