Schriever SFB Crashpad — TDY lodging that feels like home
Looking for a Schriever SFB crashpad? Schriever sits on the plains about 12 miles east of Colorado Springs, and it is where the Space Force flies GPS and runs orbital warfare, space defense, and satellite communications — so a steady stream of space operators, students, joint staff, and contractors rotate through on TDY. With no lodging on Schriever itself, a furnished crashpad priced at the government rate beats a hotel across town every time.
Mission
Space Base Delta 1 — home of GPS command and control and the Space Force's orbital warfare, satellite communications, and space defense deltas
Host units
Space Base Delta 1 (installation host, headquartered at Peterson SFB) · Space Delta 8 — satellite communications and navigation warfare, including the 2nd Navigation Warfare Squadron (formerly 2 SOPS) that flies GPS · Space Delta 9 — orbital warfare · Joint Task Force–Space Defense and the National Space Defense Center
Commute
From the east-side neighborhoods along Powers Boulevard, take Platte Avenue to CO-94 east and then Enoch Road or Irwin Avenue to the gates — roughly 20 to 25 minutes, or about 15 minutes from Falcon via Curtis Road.

Why stay in a crashpad near Schriever SFB?
Schriever Space Force Base is the operational heart of the Space Force: Space Delta 8 and the 2nd Navigation Warfare Squadron fly the GPS constellation from Building 400, Space Delta 9 runs orbital warfare, and the National Space Defense Center inside the Restricted Area watches the domain around the clock. More than 8,100 military, civilian, and contractor personnel work here, and crews rotate on 24/7 schedules, which means TDY traffic never really slows down. Schriever has no Air Force Inn of its own — travelers are sent to the Pikes Peak Lodge at Peterson SFB, ten miles west, and it fills quickly in summer when PCS season and the $168 June-through-August lodging rate collide. Hotels near the airport and Powers corridor are the usual fallback, but they are 20 to 30 minutes from the gate and rarely offer a real kitchen. A Base Crashpads house gives you a private bedroom, a full kitchen, fast internet for the pre-shift reading, and a receipt that drops straight into DTS — all inside the Colorado Springs per diem rate.

Schriever SFB crashpad FAQs
Is there on-base lodging at Schriever SFB?
No. Schriever has no lodging facility. TDY travelers use the Pikes Peak Lodge at Peterson SFB (719-556-7851), about ten miles west. If it is full you receive a non-availability number and can lodge commercially at the FY2026 Colorado Springs rate — $123 per night most of the year and $168 in June, July, and August, plus $86 M&IE.
How far is a Schriever SFB crashpad from the base?
Our Colorado Springs crashpads sit on the east side of town so you can reach the Enoch Road or Irwin Avenue gates in roughly 20 to 25 minutes via CO-94, with the Peterson commissary and Exchange on the way.
Can I use a crashpad on TDY and get reimbursed?
Yes. Once you have a non-availability number from the Pikes Peak Lodge, commercial lodging up to the locality rate is reimbursable in DTS. We price inside the Colorado Springs rate and issue itemized, DTS-ready receipts.
