Since the OP is not wanting information on campgrounds, but information on lakes such as water levels, facility closures, etc;
I’ve found the individual COE district websites are the best source.
As an example the Fort Worth district web site closure list told me that five sites at East Fork would be inaccessible for two days during daytime hours last week due to road repairs. One couple who had booked one of those sites were quite upset that they had to move their vehicle to the gate or bathhouse before 8 am, and could not drive back to their site until 6:30 pm each day.
That type information MAY be on the COE district web site. It will never be available on recreation.gov. It will also be too late to be posted on review web sites.
The site the OP is talking about is a portal the COE had available for years to reach district or individual lake websites but has become really flakey since early in 2017.
I’ve noticed individual COE district and lake websites have become less informative about activities such as hunts, commercial projects/ leases and have mostly dropped any information on anything that used to be classed as environmental in the past (invasive plants, animals, cleanups, EIS comments and reports)
They are also in general becoming less informative on recreation activities, especially less information on public comment periods for proposed changes to recreational access, such as leasing of COE parks to commercial operators/ companies.
The COE also used to have a central clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities (and contract gate attendants) available on that website. One could submit a single volunteer application and sent it to several different lakes on that site. Now a person has to submit individual six page applications of mostly duplicate material to each individual project through the Volunteer.gov portal.
