Can You RV Camp At A Military Campground?

For those of you who are active or retired military, there are some military bases that have RV campgrounds available.

I have stayed at one once. It was the Desert Eagle RV Park of Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas as a friend with me is retired military. It was a nice campground.

RV Travel has an article asking if one can stay at a military RV park if they aren't a vet or active military.

They begin it with:

Are you or a member of your family on active military duty? Are you retired or disabled? If you are, did you know you’re eligible to camp on military campgrounds?

If you’ve never heard of the program, it’s called the MWR branch. And all branches of service have one. It stands for the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) branch.

If you aren’t a vet, are you eligible to camp at military campgrounds?

As a general rule, if you’ve never been in the military, you can’t camp at military campgrounds. However, some military campgrounds will allow civilians with no military connections to camp. So if you are a civilian, call the campground. Ask them if they’ll allow you to stay with them.
