Camp Hovey, Military base in Dongducheon, South Korea
Camp Hovey is a United States military installation located in Dongducheon, a city north of Seoul. The facility features concrete structures and connects to nearby Camp Casey through a connecting road serving the stationed personnel and operations.
The base was named after Master Sergeant Howard Hovey, who died during combat in the Korean War. It was established as a permanent United States military presence to support security and strategic operations in the region.
The base provides employment and economic activity for the surrounding community, shaping daily life in Dongducheon for generations. Its presence has influenced local businesses, services, and the rhythm of the region.
Access to the installation is restricted to authorized personnel due to its active military status. Visitors should inquire in advance about entry permissions and any documentation needed.
Its proximity to the Korean Demilitarized Zone gives stationed personnel special pay compensation beyond standard military salaries. This reflects the particular strategic importance of the location.
