The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates over 400 lakes and reservoirs nationwide, managing more than 4,000 recreation areas and sites — campgrounds, day-use facilities, boat ramps, and visitor centers — that draw millions of outdoor recreation visitors each year. To staff these campgrounds, the Corps runs one of the largest volunteer host programs in the federal government — and the sites are spectacular: lakeside campgrounds, riverside day-use areas, and reservoir beaches in every corner of the country.
Army Corps volunteer hosts may be offered an RV site — hookups (electric, water, and sewer) vary by project and location. Some positions also include a small daily stipend; always confirm compensation details with the individual listing. In exchange, you'll welcome campers, collect fee envelopes, answer visitor questions, perform light maintenance like trash pickup and restroom cleaning, and serve as the on-site contact for emergencies.
Corps campgrounds tend to be among the best-equipped federal sites for camp hosts. Hookups and Wi-Fi vary by project, and many developed campgrounds feature modern restroom facilities, boat ramps, and visitor centers. Season timing varies by project location — northern lake campgrounds generally operate spring through fall, while some southern reservoirs run year-round programs. Always check individual listings for specific season dates.
