Summary

Reservations are recommended; no special permits required. Modest nightly fees apply. The campground includes full RV hookups (water, sewer, electric), picnic tables, grills, and access to flush toilets and showers. There's no tent camping. The vibe is simple and quiet, set on flat, semi-arid terrain with minimal natural scenery. Ideal for short stays or base visits, not a wilderness retreat. Nearby, explore Abilene’s attractions and Dyess Linear Trail. Best time to visit is fall through spring to avoid extreme summer heat. Access restricted to eligible military-affiliated individuals.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
