I wouldn’t trust this site, not sure how often they are updating it. We decided to head up to the Big Bear area on Monday to do some camping and I did my research first. This website shows that all yellow post sites are open, but when we got there there were signs at the sites stating that the sites were closed - do not enter. Luckily we had a plan B ready.

The site gets you to a specific forest then you need to read the Forest Orders under Alerts and Warnings to see what the regulations are. The camp site matrix is not what wer are talking about, the forests currently do not have the staff to update these.
