RV Camping in Corps of Engineers Parks
Vast portions of public lands, managed by various government agencies, are available to the general public for recreational use. The US Army Corps of Engineers provides over 30 percent of the recreational opportunities found on these public lands.
The Corp operates 2,500 recreation areas at 463 projects (mostly lakes) and leases 1,800 sites to state or local recreation authorities or private interests.
A list of the managed campgrounds and reservation service for all federal recreation reservations, which includes the Corps campground, can be found at recreation.gov. A toll-free telephone is also available at 1-877-444-6777 to check availability and make reservations.
