Corps of Engineers Camping Guide 2027: State-by-State Guide to Reservoir Campgrounds, RV Camping, Tent Sites, Fishing, Boating, Recreation Facilities, (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184413914)

Explore America's Lakes, Rivers, Reservoirs, and Outdoor Recreation

Some of the country's most rewarding camping destinations are found far beyond national parks and commercial campgrounds. Across the United States, hundreds of public recreation areas managed around lakes and reservoirs offer waterfront campsites, quiet forests, scenic shorelines, excellent fishing, boating, hiking, wildlife viewing, and some of the best RV camping opportunities in the country. Whether the plan is a weekend escape, a cross-country camping trip, or a season of exploring the outdoors, no two destinations offer quite the same experience.

A family searching for swimming beaches and spacious campsites will make different choices from an angler looking for productive fishing waters. RV travelers often prioritize hookups and easy access, while tent campers may prefer wooded sites with greater privacy. Seasons, reservation timing, campground amenities, driving distances, and recreation opportunities all shape the experience long before arriving at the campground.

Making informed choices is where this guide becomes valuable. Instead of simply listing campgrounds, it helps compare reservoirs, evaluate camping areas, understand facilities, and identify the destinations that best match different travel styles. The result is a planning resource that makes it easier to organize realistic camping trips, compare options, and spend more time enjoying the outdoors.
