Campgrounds on graded US lakes

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a campground on a LakeQuality lake page?
A public campground from USGS The National Map that snaps within 5 km of a graded lake. 716 lakes currently have at least one join. Lakes with no snap stay empty — we do not write “camping available” from a missing join.
Can I book a campsite here?
No. Stay22 on lake pages is cabins and hotels only. Campsite booking is an outbound official URL (recreation.gov or the state system) when the source provides one. USGS TNM is a location inventory, not a reservation system.
Is this the same as /camping?
/camping is European bathing waters whose official names mark them as campgrounds (EEA class, not an A–F grade). This hub is US public campground points snapped to graded lakes.
