Nice, well kept and clean RV Park near many base facilities. Good location for visiting Sacramento, Napa, Sonoma, and San Francisco. Our only complaint was the hospitality. Office staff didn't smile or make us feel very welcomed. Although they don't park you anymore, within 15 minutes of arriving I was chewed out for driving over a 10" corner of the grass while backing in. While the staff seems to keep a very nice looking park, they need to improve on their people skills.

Stopped by to look around and update the information. Pleasantly surprised! Nice, pretty, and quiet campground! Looks like a GREAT place to relax and enjoy the local area. Very nice base with small, but adequate facilities. Based on previous reviews, we had Friday lunch at the dining facility. Good, but we weren't impressed. Retirees have to wait until 15 minutes before closing before they can enter to eat. By the time we got in, the clam chowder and the cold seafood bar was empty and wasn't refilled. We enjoyed a good shrimp lunch.

Stopped by for a couple of nights. The campground is located in an industrial area. There was almost constant truck and train noises. The campsites are spacious and the campground well kept. I took a short walk around the campground to take some photos. 5 minutes later, 2 police cars pulled up and asked what I was doing. Somebody called it in that I was taking photos. There's no posted rule or signs not allowing photos. The police were friendly and didn't have a real problem with me taking photos of the campground. But it sure didn't make us feel very welcomed. Although the showers and restrooms are a tad old, they were very clean. The laundry is $.75 a load. Stopped by the hosts site 3 times during the day and there was always a "closed" sign up. Not much to do in the area and very little amenities near the campground. But it was a good place to just stop for a couple days and work on chores.

A fair RV Park, with plenty of facilities on base. Some sites can be short and difficult for 5W to maneuver. The office staff were real friendly. We liked the free washers and dryers, but thought the RV sites are overpriced. While a convenient park to stay at, we didn't think it was very relaxing. The sound of freedom and the location in the middle of the base were not conducive to reading a book or being totally relaxed. But we did overall enjoy our stay. They have put in coded locks on the showers/bathrooms. But the laundry room requires a $10 key deposit.

I agree maintenance is a low priority. Although Billeting is trying hard to provide the best they can, with what they're given. They even have (unfunded) plans to build a new RV Park. As mentioned, not all sites have W/E/S. They all have electric, and those that don't have water have a garden hose running from the site next to them. Since most RV's are self-contained, it's a compromise to use your own sewer or fresh water tank to stay here (if needed). For the reasonable price, I had no problems using our own fresh water tank, since regular garden hoses aren't good for fresh drinking water (bacteria grows in them). They know this location isn't popular, as there's not much in the local area to visit. We enjoyed our few days here, which allowed us to catch up on some chores, reading, and washing the rig. Not a destination park, but a fair place to spend a few nights at.

Stopped by to visit. The campground is much larger than I expected. There's room for big rigs to maneuver and stay in many of the sites. The campground was empty during our visit. Currently a quiet campground, but probably gets busy during hunting season. Although it's open to the public, the campground is on base. The public needs to get a visitors pass and only be there to hunt or fish. Although there's plenty of picnic tables at most of the sites, many are broken. This would be a nice place to get away and relax, without any frills. As long as you don't need any type of hookups.

Nice quiet campground, although it only has 20amp electric. Luckily, it didn't rain on us, as we can see how the sites and roads would be a big muddy mess. The office staff was very friendly. Bathrooms/showers are from WWII and are terrible! (look at the photo). There really aren't any facilities or amenities. Price is WAY TO HIGH for this campground, especially for only 20amp electric.

Not a fancy RV Resort, but a nice, quiet setting. We got a pull-thru site and wouldn't have been as happy in the back-in sites. They do seem close together. We saw plenty of wildlife from our RV. Deer next the rig, young Coyotes strolling by across the grass, Heron, Hawks, and the nearby fields are invested with a TON of ground Squirrels. We enjoyed visiting the nearby tourist attractions and towns. I was surprised that none of the RV sites have 30amp connections. We user 50amp, but others will need an adapter (which they also sell here). The new lounge is clean and modern.

Spent the afternoon exploring the area. Nobody was staying in the campground, which is in a very quite and relaxing location. It would be nice to stay, but still have the base facilities nearby. Room for about 3 or 4 pop-up trailers, in addition to about 6 tents.

A quiet location with nobody around. Yet close to the base facilities. This is also considered the FamCamp Annex, but there's no hookups. It's also not for large RV's. Tents and small trailers/RV's will find places to camp on the grass, among the trees. While there's 'site' numbers on some of the trees, I was told you can camp anywhere in the area. This is also a large picnic area for Vandenberg AFB.

A simple place to park for the night. Not the greatest location directly on a noisy and busy highway. Sites are unimproved, yet they were in the middle of installing new utility poles with 30amp electric. This park may be okay for those wanting to save a few bucks, or have another reason, but the nearby Navy RV Park is a much better choice for us.

Stopped by for a visit. This is a very nice park with large paved sites and grass. All sites have picnic tables, BBQ's, and even a pole fr your lantern or bird feeder. Office staff was very friendly. Close to the commissary and exchange, but not on the main drag through the base. Highly recommended.

Nice RV Park without many frills. We didn't check all of the shower houses, but the one next to us was VERY clean and new. We had a nice relaxing time, just wished it wasn't so windy. Reservations went very smooth, but wasn't needed since there were plenty of available sites. However, sites vary on size and there were only a few available large enough for us. I'm sure this is one popular location in the summer.

Unfortunately, lack of funding has impacted this fairly new RV Park. Sites are small and NOT big rig friendly. There are only a few sites that a big rig could fit into, but it would be tight. The campground is all dirt, which was muddy during our visit. There's no shower, bath, laundry, Internet, or lounge. The price is very high for this park. However, the check-in desk was friendly and helpful. I got the impression they were a little embarrassed for their RV park, as they also want better. But the money just isn't being given to them.

Stopped by for the afternoon, since we were already staying someplace else. VERY NICE RV Park! They were only half occupied and we wished we had stayed here instead. Everything is new and clean. There's plenty of space between sites and is big rig friendly. $24.50/night is a good rate for 50amp FHU service in this area, but I would expect to be charged less for a military benefit. This is THE PLACE to stay when visiting the area.
