Holiday Park Military - Lewis McChord Base, near Tacoma, Washington, is a solid choice for military personnel and their families looking for a convenient camping experience. This campground offers full hookups and a friendly atmosphere, making it a practical spot for both short and long-term stays.

The campground is known for its beautiful views of American Lake, which adds a nice touch to your outdoor experience. Visitors have mentioned that the sites can feel a bit close together, but the layout helps create a sense of space. Clean facilities, including showers and laundry, are a big plus for those staying here, as one camper noted, “The laundry and running water/showers were a huge plus!”

For those who enjoy a bit of adventure, the area around the campground offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. Whether you’re looking to fish, hike, or just relax by the lake, you’ll find it all within reach. Plus, being close to Tacoma means you can easily pop into town for supplies or a bite to eat.

Alright

Campground was alright. Lots of full time airmen and soldiers. They have to move sights every week or so. That being said, there is lots of movement. Cell signal is very weak for t-mobile and trees prevent starlink from working well.

Close to Seattle

To a military ID card holder, you won't find a better deal. Full hookups, sites are a bit close, but the campground loop makes it feel spacious. Clean showers. There is no wifi unless your at the camp office.

NW Adventure Center

Excellent location for those with military access to the base - active duty, retired or family. 30/50 amp hookups. Beautiful views of American Lake. Pet friendly.

American Lake Camp Ground (JBLM)

Good little camp ground on post with almost everything you need. It is in the wilderness, on the lake, but it is also fairly close to stores and gas stations. Long term max is 28 days per spot. All hookups available trash laundry showers bathrooms fire pits as well as grills all in each spot

Great place

Great for those with base access. The tent camp sites were private enough and the laundry and running water/showers were a huge plus!

Nice lake if you have someone that can get you on base

We didn't camp here but we did come for a day trip at the lake. I had a going-away party here and we had a secluded picnic spot and a private piece of the lake to put in inner-tubes. Great experience, but you have to know someone that can get you there :)
