I am currently in a Encore/Thousand Trails RV Resort. These brands are owned by Equity Life Styles (ELS). ELS has 185 RV Parks and just sent a message from their corporate offices that was shared with us by our park manager. The manager paraphrased the message from corporate and informed us that new registrations will be vetted and some will be canceled. According to corporate, some reservations have already been canceled. There was no mention of how the vetting process works.

We are back in Canada on week 2 of our sequestering. I am glad we left Mexico. We are in Manitoba and live on an acreage in the country. Not much chance of getting sick as long as we stay home. I think in another week ordo we will all be glad to be home. Lof3e in the USA is changing quicky.

In case anyone hasn't seen it (I just saw it), Escapees has a good page of advise, including links to open campgrounds:

My heart goes out to people who are on the road or full-timers now.
3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

We were stopped at the Rhode Island border checkpoint and when they cleared us we thought to asked the MP if they would let us stay in the rest area all night since CT closed the place we were going to stay. They said no problem and directed us to an out of the way secondary truck parking lot. So now we’re sleeping with an armed guard!

We and others we know are out here full-time and there is no shortage of open parks to stay at. Most state parks, corp of engineer and other public parks are closed, but most private parks are open. Most will want you to reserve and pay online or by phone. There is not the big problem many seem to think there is. Gas stations are open. Rest areas are open and if they weren't, there are still big parking lots at various places of closed businesses to stop. Walmart and grocery stores are open etc.

We crossed back into Canada, using the Sweetgrass/Coutts border crossing. We were already in a travelling self-isolation situation, and the only thing outside our rig we touched was the fuel pump and keypad for the pump. We had rubber gloves for the contact, which were discarded after use. All contact with people was outside, over 6 feet of separation. We had called ahead for a campground reservation in Lethbridge, without which the Border agent seemed to be inclined to refuse us entry. Always have a plan. Life in the park involves lots of inside time, as the provincial government doesn't want us out and about. No walking the dogs, no shopping, nothing. If it doesn't get delivered, we don't get it. Even the garbage is picked up at the edge of our lot, not carried to the dumpster. Water isn't turned on yet, due to cold, so we topped up the tank, and will need to call the office when we need to refill. The office will schedule someone to be there to fill, and tell us when to pull forward to get water. They are using a disinfectant spray on the hose bib, both ends of their hose, and the end of our hose that contacts their hose. We had no (none, zero, nada) contact with any of their property, even though the rubber gloves were in place. Seemed like good protocol. Supper involved pizza. The driver placed it on the pic nic table, along with the credit card machine. Tap to pay is encouraged, and used. We backed away, the machine was retrieved, the receipt removed and placed under the pizza box, and the driver left. The box was brought in, placed on a small table, topped with a garbage bag. The pies were eaten, leftovers placed in separate containers, and the box, rubber gloves, and handi wipes were in the garbage bag/tablecloth.

Wow. Sounds like you've handled it pretty well, and got everything under control. With no symptoms, or other snafus, you'll be out of quarantine in no time. Hang in there.
btw, if you're Canadian citizens, and I assume you are, they can't refuse you entry into Canada. Entry into Canada by a citizen is guaranteed under the CCoRF Section 6 (1).

While Canadian citizens are guaranteed entry back into Canada, provinces are imposing additional restrictions for inter-provincial travel which are more strict.
