USACE seeking new managers for campgrounds at Rough River Lake and Green River Lake

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking businesses to manage three area campgrounds at state properties.

The USACE Louisville District has published notices of availability for two land lease opportunities at Rough River Lake and one at Green River Lake.

According to releases from the USACE, the Louisville District is looking to partner with businesses to help transition management responsibilities for the campgrounds, allowing the business to receive a fair profit while the campground remains an integral part of the lake communities.

The notices of availability begin the formal process of transferring management responsibilities for Rough River Lake’s campgrounds at Cave Creek Multipurpose Recreation Area in Falls of Rough and North Fork Recreation Area in McDaniels, along with Green River Lake’s Pikes Ridge Campground in Campbellsville.

The release states: “USACE is committed to creating a sustainable recreation program and providing a high-quality recreation experience for lake visitors. As part of that effort, the Louisville District is continually evaluating how to best deliver an enduring recreation program despite rising service and maintenance costs and constrained annual budgets.”
