Fort Campbell Crashpad — TDY lodging that feels like home

Looking for a Fort Campbell crashpad? The 101st Airborne (Air Assault), the Night Stalkers and 5th Group keep a steady flow of TDY travelers coming to Clarksville, Oak Grove and Hopkinsville for Air Assault School, aviation training and SOF courses. A furnished crashpad at or below the government lodging rate beats another week of hotel-room meals and a dresser drawer full of your own gear.

Why stay in a crashpad near Fort Campbell?

Fort Campbell sits on more than 100,000 acres along the Kentucky–Tennessee state line, with the post office in Kentucky and most of its soldiers living across the line in Clarksville, Tennessee. It is home to roughly 30,000 active-duty soldiers, and the training tempo never really slows: Air Assault School runs class after class, the 160th assesses and trains rotary-wing crews around the clock at Campbell Army Airfield and Sabre Heliport, and 5th Group runs its own pipeline of courses. On-post lodging is a single IHG Army Hotel inside Gate 4, so during big exercises, deployments and graduation weeks it fills fast and TDY travelers get pushed to the hotel corridors along Fort Campbell Boulevard and Wilma Rudolph Boulevard. A crashpad gives you a real kitchen, a quiet bedroom to crash in after a 0400 formation, and a short drive to Gate 4 or Gate 7 without burning your per diem on a chain hotel.

Fort Campbell crashpad FAQs

Is Fort Campbell in Kentucky or Tennessee?
Both. The post straddles the state line; the mailing address is Fort Campbell, KY 42223, but the main gates open onto Clarksville, Tennessee, and most off-post housing and hotels are on the Tennessee side. Use the Fort Campbell, KY military housing area (KY106) for BAH and remember Clarksville is in Montgomery County, Tennessee, for per diem purposes.
Which gate should a TDY traveler use?
Gate 4 (TC Freeman) and Gate 7 are open 24/7 off Fort Campbell Boulevard. As of spring 2026 the visitor control center at Gate 4 is temporarily closed and visitor passes are issued at the Gate 7 VCC, which runs 24/7. Confirm on the gate hours page before your first trip.
Does Base Crashpads have a listing at Fort Campbell?
Not yet. Fort Campbell is one of the busiest TDY posts in the Army, so we are actively expanding here. If you own or manage a furnished rental in Clarksville, Oak Grove or Hopkinsville, or you are a traveler who wants to be notified when one opens, reach out through the site.
