From I-64 take exit 19A, 2nd light, turn left to Shiloh (Main) gate. Use far right lane. On Base From Mascoutah Gate: Right turn at stop sign onto South Drive (sign says "Hunters Rd.") You turn at the first intersection after entering the gate which turns left and becomes East Drive. Follow it through tunnel (14' clearance). Past tunnel after road curves left take first right (middle of the curve). Follow this over a small bridge to the FamCamp. From Shiloh Gate: Left turn at 1st traffic light onto Golf Course Rd. Follow this past the Golf Course and 128th Illinois Air Guard. Go through stop sign at Prior Drive, just past the chapel take a left over a small bridge to FamCamp.
Great place to camp for those eligible to enter the base. You can park, hook up your camper or RV, go fishing or just hangout under the trees or the many pavilions. Plenty of open space & a couple of lakes to enjoy & a nice bathroom. Located on the other side of the flightline from the main part of Scott AFB.
An outstanding RV and fishing area on base! We lived here for a couple months as we were PCSing (thank goodness it wasn't the busy season yet because they limit you to 30 days max). It's on the far side of base, so it is quiet and secluded. There are not that many lots but they are shaded and good sized. The showers and laundry all worked well and were pretty clean. The area is beautiful to walk around or go fishing.
Only downside is these are not full hookups (only electric and water). So bring a portable dump tank if you will be here a while. They do have a dump station on the premise, so still 5 stars.
