Family Camp Ground

The Scott AFB Fam Camp is located at the Scott Lake Recreation area (base access needed), nestled among the trees providing lots of shade in the summer, and looking over the two base fishing lakes. The Fam Camp has 22 RV campsites, each with water and electric hookups. Restrooms, showers, laundry, and a sewage dump station are available to use.

Cost per night for RV’s campers using a space is $25. Rustic tent camping is allowed anywhere around the lake area (except in the pavilion areas) at a cost of $10 per night, per tent. A dry-camp overflow area is also available at $10 per night; max capacity 2 campers, first come first served.

AF campgrounds were developed for, and should be managed to support, recreational camping purposes and not for a patron to use as a place of business or residence.
