So, I am about to PCS to Camp Casey in February or March. I don't know what it is like there. And I have people asking me if I am going to Camp Carroll. Is Camp Casey inside or beside Camp Carroll, and what is Camp Casey like?

For starters, Casey and Carroll are nowhere near each other. As for details of Camp Casey, try this link for starters:

CPL Private RallyPoint Member uhmmmmmm no. Camp Casey is up North in Area I, I believe Carroll is in Area IV almost opposite ends of the peninsula.

Camp Casey is roughly four hours north of Camp Carroll. They are not related aside from being Army installations. Casey is Area 1 while Carroll is Area 4.

From what I remember; Camp Casey is connected with camp Hovey not Carroll.
Casey was okay; not much there now sinces everything moved south to Humpfries.

Camp Casey isn't a bad assignment. You'll definitely learn your job, whatever that may be. Bus system is pretty decent and taxis are plentiful for on post transportation. Food options are fairly limited on post. Off post in the "Ville", or in Jiheng where I prefer, there is lots of great food to choose from. Good Korean BBQ is hard to beat. You'll be able to take advantage of lots of 4 day passes. Take the train to Seoul and experience the culture. Go on an MWR trip to the DMZ or go snowboarding at a resort. Being stationed in Korea you'll have affordable opportunities to see and do things you might never get the chance to see again. Just use your time wisely while you are here. There are good intramural sports options here, two pools, and a few nice gyms as well. There are ample opportunities for you to begin working on an Associate's Degree while you are here via the Education Center on post. Most importantly, and I can't possibly stress this enough, understand the rules associated with the curfew policy and follow them. Too many promising young soldiers don't take this seriously when they arrive, and they risk ruining their career before it even begins. Your unit will explain this further upon arrival. Take it seriously.

Casey is separate from Carroll. Area I is Casey and Area IV is Carroll.
The atmosphere in Casey varies by your unit. If you were a Maintenance personnel all I could say things are starting to look alot better than what they were from a year ago. Best of luck as it gets cold COLD up here at that time.
