Get oriented

At a glance.

Camp Mabry is a Texas Military Department headquarters and military facility in Austin. Garrison administration, tenant offices, museum visits and training or event reservations are different reasons to visit. Confirm the organization and appointment destination before travelling. [1]

The dedicated visitor page requires civilian visitors to be screened at the Visitor Control Center at the 35th Street Gate for approved purposes. Use the current page and coordinate with the sponsor; a museum or event listing does not remove screening requirements. [2]

Coordinate Camp Mabry reservations through Garrison Command first. [4]

Life around your next station

Moving & living.

Start with your sponsor and the installation’s official newcomer resources. Confirm the arrangements that apply to your household before you travel.

Confirm the tenant or appointment

Obtain the actual office, building and meeting instructions from the gaining organization or host. A department headquarters address is not every tenant’s reception point.

Use current visitor screening

Check the dedicated visitor page and coordinate the approved purpose, documents and sponsor arrangements. Do not infer unrestricted entry from an older public-event description.

Visitor access information

Coordinate site approval

Arrange the activity with the hosting facility and confirm visitor screening at the 35th Street Gate. The visitor page asks groups to submit information at least five business days ahead; an individual visitor pass does not reserve a facility.
