Went there a couple weekends ago and there was absolutely nothing. And the ranger at the gate won't tell you this even if you ask but will gladly get your $10. They are still hanging on to the super …Full review by B5191EXjerrys

Hello, sorry for the very late reply. We hope you had an opportunity to see the bloom last year. This year, we had a very nice bloom as well (not a super bloom), but unfortunately we had to close the Reserve. As of May 16, 2020, we are still closed until further notice. The poppies have now mostly withered away in the heat, so let's hope that next year will be a good year, both for poppies, humans and everything else.
Are the poppies still blooming as of April 10, 2019?
A:
Yes! The poppies were spectacular on April 15, 2019. Go early if you can, to avoid the crowds. The buds were still closed when we arrived, but were fully open just after 10am.
I am wondering if the poppy reserve still have poppies currently, April 10, 2019. I have heard the Lake Elsenor ones are finished. Thank you.
A:
As of April 12th, the reports are the poppies Antelope Valley are near peak. When we visited, the rangers said they believed the poppies would last through April.
