RV Camping in Corps of Engineers Parks
Of all the public lands, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has some of the best parks and campgrounds available. In fact, they're the largest federal provider of outdoor recreation in the nation. This guide is perfect for RVers because all the hike-in, boat-in and tent only camping areas are not included, making it very easy to locate campgrounds that can accommodate RVs.

RV Travel Newsletter. Issue 799
Dear Subscriber,

A brand new issue of the RVtravel.com newsletter is hot off the cyber press. As usual, we have a bucket load of great information for you including the latest news, an essay by our editor, tech tips from RV experts, and much more.
In the issue. . .       

Editor's corner:  
About 85 percent of all American RVs are built in or near Elkhart, Indiana. Building them is not a job for sissies: The work is hard, stressful - often in hot, non-air-conditioned factories where the worker turnover rate can be up to 100 percent a year.
