Ellsworth AFB FamCamp offers a unique, year-round camping experience situated within the secure environment of the Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. This location serves as an ideal base of operations for military personnel, retirees, and authorized DOD cardholders looking for a convenient place to set up camp in the Midwest. The site provides a quiet, restricted-access atmosphere that differs significantly from typical public campgrounds, making it a reliable option for those already planning to visit the base or the surrounding region.

The campground is designed to accommodate outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy tent and car camping.
