No, I have not heard anything to the contrary.  So far as developed
campgrounds in NF, most in Washington do not open in normal years until 1
May.  So that is still to come.  BLM lands are also still open, and camping
is allowed.  BLM campgrounds in Washington tend to be relatively primitive,
for those for whom that matters.  I prefer it, actually.  NP facilities,
including on Lake Roosevelt, are closed.
