Military families stationed at Fort Drum have access to this on-base recreation area that operates from May through October. The campground provides both tent sites and RV spots with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. A dump station serves those needing waste disposal services.
The facility includes restrooms, showers, and allows campfires and pets throughout the grounds. One reviewer noted a dedicated dog park for four-legged companions. Access requires military credentials, making this primarily available to service members and their families seeking a nearby outdoor option. For those exploring beyond the base, campgrounds around Fort Drum provide additional choices in the region.
