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.
