The best answer is maybe. Anyone on active duty or retired from the U.S. Military with a DOD ID card may camp here. In order for a veteran to camp here, he or she must have an up-to-date VA health ID card that states he or she has a service connected disability, Purple Heart, former POW or Medal of Honor recipient. It is always best to call the campground and ask about its rules. Without the VA health ID card or a DOD ID, I doubt you will be permitted on base nor access to the campground.

Yes. Sometimes they will ask for ranking.
