The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and coastal recreation areas at hundreds of projects nationwide — operating campgrounds, day-use areas, boat ramps, and visitor facilities that serve outdoor recreation visitors across the country. To support these sites, the Corps recruits both volunteer hosts and occasional paid seasonal staff.
Paid federal positions — such as campground aide, recreation assistant, and visitor services worker — are formal government appointments posted through USAJOBS. Volunteer positions are managed by individual Corps project offices and listed through Volunteer.gov. Compensation, RV site availability, hookup details, and service requirements vary by position and project; always review the individual listing before applying.
