Boneyard Vista - Agave Gulch FamCamp

We came here in January to stay for a few days. The rules state that you can stay 21 days and then you may extend if there is no one in overflow, however this only applies to people who don’t sign a 3 month contract. Which can be extended with another contract when that one is up. If you visit in the winter the odds of getting a hook up site are not good. Unless you are willing to wait in overflow (no hook ups) for at least a week (make sure you put your name on the waitlist). The sites are large and gravel. Depending on where your site is you may have to walk quite a way to the “dog area” but they are nice fenced areas.

No reservations taken at this popular famcamp. Thus we landed in overflow for the two nights we stayed. Was told at check-in that wait list was long. Overflow area is large bare ground with rock dividers designating sites. Sites have a picnic table and are large with long pull thru. Was told at check-in if need to run generator during quiet hours that is permissible if needed to stay comfortable. Temp did get down into the upper 40’s in the morning but we were okay without running generator. Plenty of sites available in overflow. No wi-fi at this time, is under repair. In past have been able to get in to full hook-up site without delay but not this visit.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding on our behalf as far as camping in this area. Listen to the phone message said that first come first serve is available my husband is a veteran when we arrived at the it was closed there gate was locked and there was a stop sign so we had to figure how to go around to the other gate, once we were there we had to stand in line for about 10 minutes to go in and get a pass, went in my husband showed his veterans card and was denied to go in to the campground.The young officer said my husband needed a department of defense ID, but from my understanding from the phone recording it said veterans. If anybody can help me understand this it would be grateful appreciated thank you so much. We showed the young officer my husband‘s veterans card from Illinois veterans association. But was still denied 🙅‍♀️

Another amazing FamCamp! Great views of the mountains in the morning. No reservations made it kinda tough arriving on a Friday, would recommend coming in before the weekend for better odds.

Lots of dry camping spots available...sewer and water fill available though bring your generator. You will have constant A10s flying overhead...we all loved it and it’s to be expected staying on the AFB!

Kids will enjoy a nearby (base) sk8 park, rock wall and nearby playgrounds; for military families. Long dog walking trails, or walk through the base, view the Boneyard through the fence line, etc. There was no WiFi available at the time of our stay.

Agave Gulch Fam Camp on Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson was our first military Fam Camp. What an outstanding experience!

The Full Hook up camp sites are on a first come basis. We weren’t able to get a full hook up site but we able to get a overflow spot which is dry camping. We were thrilled as this space is huge with only a few campers. We love dry camping so this was just what we were looking for. A full hook up spot came open while we were there and they called to offer it to us which I thought was very considerate.

The Fam Camp facilities are amazing! The campground is very clean overall. Heated bathrooms with showers, laundry room, dog wash area, fire pit area, tennis area, nice dog walking area and free WiFi. The office has a sitting area with tables, coffee and a small library.

With my husband being retired Air Force, we felt so at home at Agave Gulch Fam Camp. We stayed 3 nights and will definitely come back. I would highly recommend Agave Gulch!

All sites are available on a first come, first serve basis. Call ahead and see what their availability is. They also have a huge overflow section where you can dry camp, and wait for a spot to open up. All RV sites have full hook-ups, quaintly located in a cute little light post. :)

This was our first time staying at a FamCamp. As an Army veteran (my husband) we are thoroughly impressed with the friendliness, cleanliness, and overall environment of the FamCamp. Connecting with other veterans from other services makes it feel more like home, rather than just an RV park.

The camp has so many amenities, like a dog wash, free wifi, laundry rooms, showers, trails, etc. Everything is clean and pristine, as you would expect at any military facility. There are a lot spaces, and they are all easily accessible for just about any size rig. Each spot has a level, gravel pad with a cement patio, picnic table, and full hookups (elegantly hidden in a lamp post). Everyone camping here keeps their site clean and aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

With fighter jets flying overhead, 0700 Reveille and 1700 Retreat, you get a warm and fuzzy feeling just being amongst your kind! 🙂 Staying here helps reminds us that people still care about this country, serving it with pride, and that freedom still exists!
