MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. --  With the cutting of a ribbon and marshalling of the first recreational vehicle into slot number one, McConnell's new Family Camp was officially opened June 28, 2012.

In conjunction with the Outdoor Recreation Department, the 22nd Civil Engineer Squadron began construction on the new family camp in November 2011.

The relocation moved 10 new slots adjacent to fishing ponds, shaded areas, a picnic area and playground. The new location offers larger concrete pull-through slots to accommodate RV models with pop-outs and awnings, as well as full hook-up services - water, sewer and electricity.

The previous family camp spaces, located on the south end of base, were smaller and offered customers only water and electricity hook-ups.
Reservations for the family camp are made through billeting, at (316) 759-6999.

The outdoor recreation department also offers tent camping. For more information, call (316) 759-4435.
