Scott AFB FamCamp
Overview
Scott AFB FamCamp sits in a small, woodsy area of Scott Air Force Base near Belleville, Illinois — an easy base for exploring St. Louis, just across the river (the Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium are close). It offers about 22 back-in blacktop sites with water and 30/50-amp electric (no sewer at sites, but a dump station is available), plus a dry-camp overflow area. Facilities include modern, clean restrooms, private showers, and a laundry room. It's one of the few Air Force FamCamps that takes reservations, at very reasonable rates. There's a fishing pond right next door (base permit required) and a golf course close by; the base dining facility is well-liked and inexpensive.

Important Info
Water/electric only — no sewer at sites (dump station available). Reservations accepted (unusual for an AF FamCamp). Navigation tip: don't trust GPS to "Scott FamCamp" — it routes to closed gates; navigate to the Commissary first, then to FamCamp. The entry gate is tight for large rigs. A base fishing permit (from Outdoor Rec) is required for Scott Lakes. Open to active, Guard, Reserve, retired, DAV, and DoD civilians. Call (618) 256-2067. Always confirm current rates and availability before you travel.
