This may be old hat for some of you crusty, oops I mean seasoned,
campers. I came accross this site while researching campgrounds for a
summer trip. It is basically a reservation service for the 1700
campgrounds managed by the USDA Forest Service and US Army Corps of
Engineers. The site shows campgrounds by state, and for each campground
it has links for each individual campsite which describe the max length
of vehicle, paved or gravel, 30 amp, lake view, etc. Then you can check
availability of that sight and reserve it, on line, at 1:00 am if you
want. Pretty cool! Here is the link;

Glad you brought this to everyone's attention. I discovered the same a month
ago, before triping to Rayne. I was already aware of a beautiful Corps of
Engineers (COE) campground on Lake Seminole, Just North of Chattahoochee, FL.
My wife's brother has a house nearby. Anyway, I made a reservation thru
"reserveusa" and was able to pick my site using their maps. You can purchase a
"Golden Age Passport" if you are 62 or over and get campsites for 1/2 price,
$6.00 The Passport is $10 and good for LIFE.
The campground is beautiful and has 30 amp and water and a dump station.
Concrete pads, showers, grills, ground fire pits, and a gorgeous view of the
lake. I understand that all of the COE parks are really great.

Just signed up for a week in Rocky Mountain Park and two days at Mamouth Cave
including tours. Will make theColorado state reservations in June when they open
up the August sites. Already booked a Lake George New York Island for a week (no
motorhomes, boat access only), Nickerson Park on Cape Cod and two other long
weekends in Mass and NY, all online. Been doing it for years. Aint computers
great.
