Holloman AFB FamCamp
Overview
Holloman AFB FamCamp is located within the grounds of Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, providing a convenient and accessible stop for military families and eligible personnel. This facility functions as a practical home base, offering a straightforward, no-frills environment designed for those looking to enjoy the high desert landscape. The park maintains a peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for travelers who prioritize proximity to base facilities over luxury resort amenities.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned near the Tularosa Basin, the FamCamp serves as an ideal gateway to the unique geography of southern New Mexico. The setting is characterized by open skies and the striking backdrop of the Sacramento Mountains. Because the park is situated on federal land, guests benefit from a secure environment while remaining close enough to local services in Alamogordo to restock supplies or enjoy a meal off-base.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility is designed to accommodate a variety of RV sizes, offering full hookup sites that simplify the camping experience for long-term or overnight stays. Guests have access to essential base services, including laundry facilities and shared restrooms. While it lacks the dense shade of a forest retreat, the gravel pads are level, and the layout provides enough space to comfortably deploy slides and awnings during your visit.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Travelers staying here are just a short drive from the iconic White Sands National Park, where the glistening gypsum dunes offer world-class photography and hiking opportunities. History enthusiasts should also visit the New Mexico Museum of Space History in nearby Alamogordo to explore the region's deep ties to aerospace development. Whether you want to explore desert trails or learn about the history of rocketry, the park puts you in the center of the action.
Who This Park Is Best For
Holloman AFB FamCamp is the premier choice for military retirees, active-duty families, and DOD civilians who prioritize mission-ready convenience and proximity to local attractions. It is perfect for travelers who want a budget-friendly location that balances quiet desert living with easy access to the unique natural beauty of the Southwest. If you enjoy simple, efficient camping within a secure and welcoming military community, this site will feel like home.

Loved the park. Jets flying over was the sound of freedom that stopped after sunset. The sonic booms scared the wife a few times, but she thought it was exciting.
Roger Phillips
Nice safe place for our 1 night stop over. Had to settle for a dry site(dirt) because we didn't have a reservation. Pretty much filled with full time service personnel. Family Camp isn't the easiest to get to from the front gate if you have a big rig. The base is very busy, new and beautiful.

Ashley Benoit
Camp is wonderful! One thing needed is a dog park and kids park! Facility is clean and Lorri is wonderful and has 24hr phone service if you have a problem. I was able to reach her during closed hours. More trees and shrubs would be wonderful to spruce things up! Facility is nice and clean as well.

This trip was supposed to be only 3 nights but turned into two weeks! Our family really likes the location and scenery. The facilities are clean and the camp host Lori is very kind and professional. The mountains are in full view of the park. Close to mountain attractions and national parks like White Sands National Park.
