Camp Lejeune, North Carolina
OoooRAHH! Welcome to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, home of the United States Marine Corps 2nd Division. Built in 1941, Camp Lejeune, New River Air Station, Camp Geiger, Camp Johnson, Stone Bay, the Greater Sandy Run Training Facility, and the Outlying Landing Fields of Oak Grove and Camp Davis provide the steel backbone of United States military power all over the world. Camp Lejeune North Carolina was named after the great General John A. Lejeune and occupies over 240 square miles of land. It has over 400 miles of roadway and 50 miles of sidewalk and 11 miles of coastline in Onslow County.
Camp Lejeune is home to three state-of-the-art Urban Terror training facilities, 78 live fire ranges, nearly 100 maneuver areas, and over 500 tactical landing zones. Camp Lejeune and surrounding areas have a population of over 150,000 people which pump over $3 billion dollars annually into the economy of North Carolina. Soldiers and sailors from all over the world come to Camp Lejeune to study and learn from the absolute best military training the United States has to offer.
Camp Lejeune recognizes the importance of keeping the warriors who fight for our country comfortable and engaged in the community. There are several parks with state of the art recreational facilities around the base, as well as child care, theaters, the commissary for shopping, hobby shops, banks, and fitness centers. In addition, there is hunting, fishing, excellent local restaurants, and swimming and boating; however, be careful where you anchor the boat because some areas are designated “Live Fire” areas. This could be detrimental to the boat.
Camp Lejeune North Carolina has the oldest active USO in the United States that provides programs for Marines and sailors and dependants all year round. In addition, Camp Lejeune has an annual Summer Concert series hosting nationally known recording artists such as Eddie Money and Tim McGraw. Camp Lejeune’s host city of Jacksonville is well known for its local flavor and nightlife, with a “Battle of the Bands” competition featuring several Camp Lejeune personnel being one of the highlights so far this year. There are several motorcycle clubs and car clubs populated by Camp Lejeune residents, and car shows and bike shows are frequent events all year long. For recreational purposes, the Crystal Coast beaches of Emerald Isle, Indian Beach, and Atlantic Beach are just a short drive down Highway 24, and the Kinston Indians Class 2-A Carolina League professional baseball team plays its home games 45 minutes away at Historic Grainger Stadium, where on Military Appreciation Nights all active and retired military personnel get in absolutely free of charge.
