The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is transitioning management of Pikes Ridge Campground Recreation Area at Green River Lake for the 2026 recreation season. Effective March 1, 2026, Pikes Ridge Campground Recreation Area will be managed under a lease agreement with Common Capital RE Holdings LLC, with BrightSky Campgrounds overseeing day-to-day operations and reservation services on behalf of the lessee. USACE remains committed to providing a high-quality recreation experience and maintaining a sustainable recreation program. As part of this effort, the Louisville District is partnering with a local business to manage Pikes Ridge Campground Recreation Area. Existing reservations will be honored but must be rebooked with the new managing entity. Visitors will need to contact BrightSky Campgrounds and provide their original reservation number to complete the rebooking process. Guests will have until March 9, 2026, at midnight (Eastern Time) to rebook their reservation. After this deadline, reservations that have not been rebooked will no longer be held. Please be sure to check the email account used to make your original reservation on [Recreation.gov][1] for additional information. Questions regarding fees, pass eligibility, or rebooking procedures should be directed to BrightSky Campgrounds at rob@brightskycampgrounds.com.
