Most military installations have a campground that is operated as part of Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) using non-appropriated funding. Most are well run, quiet, clean and an inexpensive alternative to their civilian counterparts.
This case is a very rare exception to the norm. Most people staying at these camps are either active duty on leave or between assignments or retirees who own RVs.

Not sure, but I know Davis-Monthan did when I was there in the early 90s.
I don't know much about them, but the word was that they were highly coveted spots for retired military snowbirds.
Here's a website that could give you some insight as to how many. Not sure about the homeless vet issue. http://www.militarycampgrounds.us/
Just about every navy base around here does. If they have camping stuff, I don’t know how you could tell they were homeless.
Most bases of any size have some sort of campground/RV park. Don't know about the homeless vets.
I wonder what the off duty FBI agent was doing on MacDill?
Campgrounds?Well, the Air Force has them all over the world, but they call theirs "golf courses".How many bases have campgrounds?
The media thinks that all people who live full-time in their motorhomes/travel trailers are "homeless".
It's a standing joke on Recreational Vehicle (RV) forums.
And of course, it's in the presstitute's leftist media handbook that anytime a veteran is involved in an "altercation"", he must (at least initially) be labeled a "homeless vet".
It dredges back up the media's decades long meme that vets are all homeless, drug addicted, bearded and dirty, wearing a dirty fatigue jacket, wild eyed, and mumbling incoherently at everyone who comes within range.
Keeps the leftist media's anti-military meme going strong.
I will pray for the vet and the FBI agent, and their families. A sad story to read this morning.
Lots of bases have campgrounds. Those with trailers, motorhomes, or other vehicles catagorized as Recreational Vehicles (RV’s) hardly qualify as homeless.
Some of those RV’s are in the upper six figures, though most at the base campgrounds are valued in the tens of thousands of dollars.
There is a word in the RV industry for people who live full time in their RV’s. “Full Timer”.
There is a substantial number of full timers in America, complete with web sites, etc.
