For Active and Retired Military only.
Due to very limited times that RV's are allowed to enter the main gate (Dale Mabry gate), it's suggested to enter the Tanker Gate Way instead (closed after 1500 and closed on Sat & Sun). From I-275 (westbound), take exit 41A. Follow Dale Mabry Highway south for 6.3 miles to main gate of MacDill AFB. When approaching MacDill on Dale Mabry, take a right on Interbay and go to Tanker Way. Take a left and go through the inspection area. The guards there will direct you to the FAMCAMP. Turn around in the Marina Office parking area or park in the large lot at this left turn and walk to the office to register. If office is closed park in the corner lot and dry camp overnight. Do not occupy a camp site before registering. ---- Note: RVs cannot ENTER

MacDill is a beautiful AFB. Private beach, access to fishing right from the docks or beach. The camp is located at the furthest point in the park! But noting takes that long to get to. It’s a nice drive. This is it’s own city. Post office on base and mail delivered to the FamCamp post office. The camping area is close. Not much room between sites. Everyone seems very courteous about noise. No issues. Had to stay at a partial hook up site when we first got here. We over to a FHU spot after 2 days. Free cable, free use of mailbox, but there is a $20 deposit for the key, refunded when you turn it in. Unless you have reservations, you pay for 2 weeks at a time. There is an Annex campground, spacing is better there but it’s much further away from the beach and mailboxes.
No campfires. Lots of birds. Catch blue crabs right off the beach. Beach is good size. Dog beach also. 5 stars would have been given if the spaces were so close together.
Make sure you use the Main Gate at the round a bout. RVs of any size other than a van will be turned away.
The absolute epitome of the privilege to be able to camp, swim, fish, golf, shop and lay on what amounts to a private beach is possibly the biggest benefit to any qualifying veteran and their families. MacDill is akin to a private club. Go behind the gates and you feel protected, welcomed and thankful. If you're a service member and you have access and leave MacDill less than 5 stars then you need a reality check👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

MacDill Air Force Base fam camp is an outstanding value, family friendly, quiet, and picturesque Paradise. The regulars are friendly and the staff very helpful.
We took advantage of the saver card and took a pontoon boat out for my birthday! It was cold, rainy and perfect.
