If you have the old guys card, Senior Pass or Golden Age, CEO parks may offer a discount. Usually 50%.

The Army Corps of Engineers does large public infrastructure projects, like dams and river channel improvements. The campgrounds are usually associated with one of their dams. There is a Federal discount pass for seniors and handicapped that can get you lifetime 50% discounts at all National Parks and COE campgrounds. https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm

There is also a 351 page book available titled "CAMPING with the CORPS of ENGINEERS".

And if you can't find the Bernie mentioned, you can go to https://www.recreation.gov/ see a listing of all the parks and all there is to know about each of them. It is worth it and as was already mentioned most of them half price with your national parks pass.

No, you don't NEED to be a Veteran for admittance, but it's a good idea to be one anyhow.

Might be a bit too late for OldSlowHans to turn into a veteran now.

we just stayed at COE park right on the Mississippi river in Illinois (quad cities area) right off of I80 and it was really nice especially at $10/night with senior pass. stayed in Georgia on Alatoona Lake and those were also really nice. Don't remember the price but it was cheap relative to the area.
