The ACTIVE DUTY military has priority over any stay. It is very rare but some DOD Civilians, retired civilians, or other approved non active duty types have had to leave to make room for the active military. It is very rare however but can happen...
The same goes with the MILITARY Hotels/BOQs etc...
The Lake Martin Recreation Area, for Maxwell AFB, AL. is an excellent place to stay. Sheppard AFB Recreation Annex at Lake Texoma in North Texas is another great place.
I guess anyone with a current CAC card can gain access to these type of places....
I am a DOD Retired Civilian and got my CAC card through the NAVAL BASE I retired from. When I visit these places I always have the utmost respect for the active military there. It is actually their Recreation areas...

I am curious as to how you can still have a CAC card and be retired. When I retired, I had to surrender my CAC card for a DD2AF Uniformed Services Retired Card.
As for Lackland, little shade, no full hookups (just water, electric and a dump station) but you are close to the club and to the exchange and commissary. My wife and I stayed there a couple of years ago and found it clean and well operated. They did allow for longer stays but did rotate people out after a certain time to discourage homesteading.
Enjoy.
actually, if it's like mine, it's a CAC picture ID card that scripted with "Civilian Retiree" with grade and expiration date. can't recall using mine other than attending a retirement ceremony at my old office. But I'd like to try a Fam Camp.
