TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida parks will open during set daytime hours for the next two months, with campground and overnight accommodations closed completely starting Friday, the Department of Environmental Protection announced Tuesday.
The action concerning the parks comes as state officials respond to the rapidly increasing number of coronavirus cases in Florida.
The state park system will honor existing camping reservations that begin on March 18, but individuals that made those plans must arrive prior to 5 p.m.
Wednesday, officials said. After Wednesday, existing reservations will be canceled and refunded, the state agency said in a release.
