COE (Core of Engineers parks).
When the COE builds a dam or other project they own the resulting lakeshore, Every inch of it. They often set up camp grounds on some of the nicer spots along the lake. These are very well maintained as a general rule, sites are clean and level Usually have electric and water on site (Some do not) and a dump station or 3 in the park.
I've stayed at a few of 'em. Very well impressed.
OH, if you or your significant other has obtained the magic age of 62, or if you qualify for another reason you can get a "pass" (Interagency pass or senior pass) that gets you half off on camping fees too. Even nicer. Same pass works at many other places.. Admision to the Grand Canyon National park for example is 100$ off with the pass... You read that right.. FREE. Pass costs ten bucks.
