Nice FamCamp! Kinda stinks though if you show up after the office closes and want to get on the road early. No payment envelopes. The Night Host won't take the money. Really? We stayed in overflow (nice place) but I couldn't leave till 10am! Couldn't I put the lousy $15 through a slot in the door or something? It got worse the next day. Half an hour in the office to register so I could check out? After waiting till 10am for the office to open?

FamCamp is an incredible RV park and one of the best places to enjoy Tampa Bay. The beachfront setting alone makes it special, with beautiful sunsets that never get old. The area is truly teeming with life—you’ll see plenty of bird activity, and it’s not uncommon to spot dolphins swimming by. Watching cruise ships pass through the bay adds another unique and relaxing touch to the experience. There are tons of activities to stay active and enjoy the outdoors, including boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, and cycling. Whether you want adventure or just peaceful waterfront relaxation, this place delivers both. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to park your RV, unwind, and take in the natural beauty of Tampa Bay. Clean, scenic, and full of things to do—highly recommended.

MacDill FamCamp is by far one of the best FamCamps we have ever stayed at. Sites are level, concrete, most have full hook ups, 50 & 30 amps. Where are here the first week of January '26 and there are still plenty of sites. Atleast 5 just around we are. Atleast 2 dog parks and 2 large playgrounds for kids, beach access (swimming not allowed). 2 friendly camp hosts on premises.

This is the 1st time I had used FamCamp at Macdill. It was nice for the money and we had a good time. Unfortunately is was very hot and the base pool is closed and the beach water had a high bacteria level. Miss Linda was awesome with our intake and very patient as we had to pull up documents to supply. I give Miss Linda a 5 star rating!!

No see-um bugs eat you up. Cable inoperative, Wi-Fi inoperative during my visit in late December. The washroom was decent, toilet overflowing and shut down for days. The washers were inoperative. The Famcamp staff in the office has 1 rude, condescending employee. The camp host was excellent! The sites are small and crowded. We found several state parks much more attractive for only a few dollars more. I like the area but won't return there again

I really wanted to give it five stars because of the view and being a Navy veteran I really enjoy the military base but the mosquitoes and the bugs were extremely bad that I had to leave a week early. I hope they can get ahead of that mosquito and pest control problem but enjoyed McDill Air Force Base!

MacDill Air Force Base fam camp is an outstanding value, family friendly, quiet, and picturesque Paradise. The regulars are friendly and the staff very helpful. We took advantage of the saver card and took a pontoon boat out for my birthday! It was cold, rainy and perfect.

The absolute epitome of the privilege to be able to camp, swim, fish, golf, shop and lay on what amounts to a private beach is possibly the biggest benefit to any qualifying veteran and their families. MacDill is akin to a private club. Go behind the gates and you feel protected, welcomed and thankful. If you're a service member and you have access and leave MacDill less than 5 stars then you need a reality check👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It was basically TOXIC when I was there. Redtide and impossible to breathe without gagging

This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds I have ever stayed at. You walk a short distance to the beach, which is clean and amazing. Everything you need is on base. There are so many activities to do while your here. Best part is everything is so cheap to do. Highly recommend.

MacDill is a beautiful AFB. Private beach, access to fishing right from the docks or beach. The camp is located at the furthest point in the park! But noting takes that long to get to. It’s a nice drive. This is it’s own city. Post office on base and mail delivered to the FamCamp post office. The camping area is close. Not much room between sites. Everyone seems very courteous about noise. No issues. Had to stay at a partial hook up site when we first got here. We over to a FHU spot after 2 days. Free cable, free use of mailbox, but there is a $20 deposit for the key, refunded when you turn it in. Unless you have reservations, you pay for 2 weeks at a time. There is an Annex campground, spacing is better there but it’s much further away from the beach and mailboxes. No campfires. Lots of birds. Catch blue crabs right off the beach. Beach is good size. Dog beach also. 5 stars would have been given if the spaces were so close together. Make sure you use the Main Gate at the round a bout. RVs of any size other than a van will be turned away.

Quiet. Refuse often found on beach. No pot lucks. No card games besides poker and bridge noted on monthly calendar.
