Joshua Tree National Park officials have announced that park operations will be temporarily modified during California’s stay-at-home order. While the park will remain open for day-use activities and back-country camping, the park’s campgrounds will be closed until further notice; sections of Indian Cove and Black Rock campgrounds will remain open to hikers, but not campers. All programs, including ranger programs and the Keys Ranch Tour, are suspended. All fires, including campfires, are prohibited. The visitor centers will have a reduced capacity. Special use permits and commercial activities have temporary limits. Camping fees and Keys Ranch tour tickets will be refunded through the government website, recreation.gov.
