Welcome to MCAS New River! Your Guide to Housing, Amenities, and More

Welcome to Marine Corps Air Station New River in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Founded in 1944, this tight-knit installation provides vital aviation support to the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at neighboring Camp Lejeune. Physically and operationally connected to Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station New River offers a small base feel with access to massive amenities. If you're just arriving, enter through the main gate on Curtis Road to stop by the Visitor Control Center. You can check in at New River's dedicated IPAC and Deer Center and grab essentials at New River's on-base commissary and Marine Exchange. For housing support, the Camp Lejeune Military Housing Office is ready to assist, and a shared school liaison is available to help families navigate excellent on-base and local school options. When the workday ends, check out the on-base bowling alley, skate park, and hockey rink, or head over to Camp Lejeune to enjoy miles of private beaches with the vibrant Jacksonville restaurant scene and the beautiful North Carolina coast right outside the gates. You get the best of both worlds. Welcome to Marine Corps Air Station New River.
