Pavilion areas may be reserved (which can be done at Outdoor Recreation); otherwise, they are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservation use takes priority. There is no fee to use the picnic area. All pavilions and playground areas are handicap accessible, and include handicap accessible picnic tables.
FAM Camp
Located on the south end of the base. The camp has 10 recreational vehicle sites with electric (30/50 amp connections), water and sewage hook-ups. Picnic tables and grills are located near each site. There is also an overflow area where we allow “dry camping” (meaning no utilities-ONLY when all full service sites are filled), a dump station, large dumpster and a bathhouse with flush toilets, showers and a coin operated laundry.
Just across the street you will find Eagles’ Nest Park which is equipped with several pavilions, (that can be reserved, at no cost through ODR), horseshoe pits, volleyball nets, and playgrounds that can accommodate children 2 - 12 years of age.

Dover area attractions include Dover Downs, which hosts NASCAR each June and September followed by harness racing November - March, with slot machines and dining available every day.
