Perfect example of what fam camps should be. Well setup, hook ups are functional. Reasonable space between sites. Plenty of first come first serve options. Multiple clean well stocked bath houses. Laundry works great. The nearby gate closes at 1800 so its very quiet even with so many of us old timers. Wifi throughout the entire camp works perfect. Just all around a phenomenal place to pull in spend as long as you want and enjoy the fruits of your 20 years labor. Added bonus you have the Warthogs all over.

Best dry camping on military base I've ever experienced. Large gravel pads spaced apart with privacy. Office personnel was awesome as well. She took care of us even at the last minute reservation before the weekend.

Great place to stay in Tucson. First Come First Serve and over 200 sites. On Davis-Monthan AFB, must have ID.

Nice base. Got a good spot close to the shower. Got a tree for the sunset shade plugged in air conditioners on 85° today in Tucson, Arizona.

There's LOTS of spots- 200+ if you count the dry camp spots also. Although they don't take reservations, you can call and ask about expected availability in the least. The park was not half full (mid- November) for us and it worked out great. There are pull thrus mostly, fine with us. At 30.00/night, we won't complain. As with all military bases, it's secure. Everyone we've met here have been great. The park rents on a daily basis only, but you could stay as long as 6 months consecutively. It was neat, clean and the hookups were perfect. Not every shady, but some spaced do have a partial shaded area. Bathrooms were fine, and also very clean. Everything worked, water hot hot quickly. This was a great stop over... 👍👍👍
