    COE listings????

    One of my golfing buddies just spent 10 days at a COE campground at Canton Lake in Oklahoma. He said with his national park pass, the nightly fee was only $12. They have water and electric, no sewer, but dump stations. Even so, I think that is a pretty darn good deal. In light of that, I have been doing some internet searching for the last 1/2 hour or so trying to find a nation-wide listing of COE campgrounds. Seems all I get are listings for two or three states with each search and a whole bunch of ads selling books with listings. Does anyone know of an online listing put out by the COE so I don't have to buy some book that I will likely lose anyway?
    those who say "I can't", will always be right

    RV Life App allows me to search for COE parks, across the nation. The basic version is free, so check it out.

    You might do better using USACE in a search..... US Army Corp of Engineers. I use Dave O's map to plan trips and locate campgrounds. https://davidodonnel.com/rv-park-locator/
    Note the symbols for national parks and Army Engineers.
    Reservations can be made through Recreation.gov
    That nightly rate seems a bit low. If you have a Senior Pass you have visitor entry to any national park without fee. Camping fees are at 1/2 the normal overnight rate. $17 to $18 a night is the norm. I have seen very few National, USDA, USACE or Dept of Agriculture park sites that are full hook up. If there are, they are few and booked up.

    What's COE?
    I did a quick google and it came up with Center of Excellence, Council of Europe, and a rather derogatory name for a girl you don't like.

    The acronym stands for Corps of Engineers. Your federal dollars at work. Apparently they’re pretty good at campgrounds, not so much with levees.

    COEs. There is a booklet put out by someone on COE sites. I've seen it but don't recall. I'll look to see if I might have one.

    It's amazing it is so difficult to search for COE parks. Over the years the only way I've found is to use one of the few books available. I've got an older version of this book and it's worked well:

    https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Corps.../dp/188546469X

    With the Golden Age card these campgrounds are an extreme bargain.
