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), 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.
