Second time at this CG and we were very pleased with it. Stayed in main camping area sites were fairly level, gravel and remained pretty dry with the half inch of rain we had. Water, sewer, power 30/50 amp, CATV and WIFI available with pretty good signal. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained, shower was barley warm when I used it but my wife said it was piping hot when she went earlier, I'd say she used all the hot water. There are a few docks on the lake and a nice concrete boat ramp. Valdosta is about 15 minutes away and the Florida state line is about 10, Moody AFB is another 10 to 15 minutes past Valdosta off I-75. Wal Mart is about 15 miles and the best place I found for fuel was Flash Foods on the east side of I-75, gas and diesel were both cheaper than competition. I will visit again.

Only stayed one night but nice CG. Called a week prior for reservation and had no problem at all checking in. Note, you must go past the camping area to the office by the lake to check in. They have a few items in the small store at check-in and sell beer by the glass or pitcher, They also rent canoes, boats, paddle-boats, you must have a Moody AFB fishing license and well as state to fish in the lake. There is a 3 mile trail that goes around the lake and when we were on it it was well maintained. Sites are gravel, fairly flat and have 30/50 amp service, sewer, water, and limited cable television. All sites have concrete patio and picnic table, some have a freestanding grill. Bath room is across the street from main camping area but the big bath room on the main side is being worked on to serve as a community center as well and should be completed this year. Overall this is a well maintained CG and a pleasure to stay in. I will stay here again and recommend it as a good pit stop for travelers.

Decent facilities, clean, well stocked bathrooms. Sites range from good size to small. Not all sites suitable for longer RV. Main roads are paved but drives leading into camp sites are gravel/dirt and can get dusty or muddy depending on weather. Tents mixed in with RV's on full hook up sites but lots of sites available this time of year. There was firewood stacked up at each camping area, looked to be 9 separate areas for camping, water view from a lot of the sites. There is a small camp store, don't expect much, looked quite bare considering the number of camp sites, cabins and rental RV's available. They do rent boats, canoes and other recreational items. Overall a good CG and only about 30 minutes from Augusta.

We were here for 3 days and had a decent experience overall. We were put in the newer section with asphalt pads, water and 30 amp power. The grounds were high with grass and it appeared to be quite a while since the campsites were policed, most of the grills were crooked or falling over and filthy. Bathroom was clean and well stocked with metal toilets and a push button in shower that would give you 3 minutes of water at a time. Base had good commissary and BX as well as a nice asphalt track/bike trail that went all around the base. The FamCamp book said go in the commercial gate, DO NOT GO IN THE COMMERCIAL GATE. They no longer allow RVs to go through that gate, you must use one of the main gates, they are not blocked in any way, so easy to get through. Day trips to St Louis are just a 30 Minute ride and worth the trip. I would recommend staying here but stay in the gravel area of the CG, lots of shade and close to bathroom. Overall we had a good experience at this CG, with a little more attention to detail this could be among one of the better FamCamps.

Called a day ahead and got reservation with no problem. When we arrived names were on board outside office with what site to take. Full hookup, water sewer, power 30amp site, no cable but picked up several channels on antennae, WIFI at the office area only. We came in gate 2 and drove straight down Missile to gravel road leading to CG, this gate has limited hours. If you come in gate 1 there are only a couple of roads to get back over to Missile road, other roads leading to that side have LOW RR bridges, anywhere from 12'6" down to 11'6". The Shoppette is near gate 1 and the BX and commissary are near gate 2. Easy to get on and off base with DOD sticker and ID, I25 just outside the gate. It's about 5 minutes to the city and directions are simple. The campsites are gravel and relatively level, we did no leveling at all. Water, sewer and power hookups are convenient and in good state of repair. The bath house is located next to the office and look fairly new in a brick building. Most of the sites are back in but there are a number of pull thru as well. Plenty of wildlife around the base, lots of geese and pronghorn all around. At $20 a night we felt this CG was a good bargain. The only things I saw that need some attention is landscaping. I would definitely return if in this area of the country again and would recommend this CG to anyone.

We stayed in Gateway for 2 nights. When we arrived there were six pull thru sites available, we chose two and were greeted by the camp host shortly after. He was very courteous and helpful. We were settled in quickly and pleased with the area. The sites are concrete pads with 30/50 amp service, water and sewer, only missing cable, camp WIFI was great the entire time we were here. Was able to also get 4G with my sprint service so watched some Netflix while here. The CG is right outside gate 4 for the AFB so did not have to enter base for CG, the CG was nice and quiet while we were here. We did go on the base to check out the BX and commissary. We were confronted by something new to us when going on base. It seems that they do not use DOD stickers, instead they use ID cards for entry, we were directed to go to visitor center and register ID cards prior to being allowed on base. It was no problem getting the IDs registered and then going through the hate but it would have been simpler to do this prior to trying to go through the first time. The commissary was well stocked and convenient to get to, the BX was small but they are working on building another to be completed by June 2012. The CG is well taken care of, while we were there, although not in need of it, the grass was trimmed, looks really good. The bathrooms, small but up to date and very clean as is the laundry. Realy liked this CG and would recommend to anyone, will definitely stay here again if in the area.

Had no problem getting a spot here for the week. Had 30 Amp HU and water, dump site ea close to bath. Gravel pad which was fairly level and well treed but not a lot of underbrush. Bathrooms were old and kept OK but need a thorough scrubbing as well as checked on a few times a day. One of the bath houses out of the two had little to no hot water for showers the entire week we were there. Washers and dryers are cheap enough, only a dollar for each. The commissary, BX, and gas station are all close by. New bike path being worked on looks like it will be nice addition to the base. Anchorage is close by and easy to get to and there is a Target, Lowe's and IMAX right outside the gate. We saw a black bear running through camp a few times, it usually ended up at one site which had left a cooler outside by the picnic table. The gas station/shoppette sold diesel and propane as well as gas. The BX has ULU knives which are way cheaper than WalMart, if you are looking for an inexpensive gift. The trash was bear proof and the roads although dusty were sprayed down with water a couple of times a day by the camp host and assistant. Beware the red squirrels, they enjoy tearing up padded chairs for the padding. The sites also had nice charcoal grills. I would definitely stay here in the future and would recommend it to others making this trip.

Price is now $18 per night. Only 15 minutes to Fairbanks and a good base to travel to the northern parts of the area on day trips. Generally a good value but as stated in prior comments there seems to be no one in charge or if there is then they need some supervision. The bathrooms are individual bathrooms and have sink, toilet and shower. The showers have plenty of hot water and good pressure and paper products are replaced regularly but they need a good scrubbing at least once a week and a sweep out daily. We were here for a week and no one cleaned the bathrooms other than taking out trash. Sites are in heavily wooded with plenty of room between them. The have water and power, no sewer but there is a dump site. Mosquitoes are the only pest problem and there are a couple of propane mosquito killers in the campground. Generally a very nice area the sound of freedom is heard throughout the day, we didn't hear noise till around 8 AM and not after about 8 PM so not bad. There were plenty of sites available during the week we spent here, usually 4 or more empty the whole period. The place could be a lot better with someone taking a interest in managing it and keeping up with the maintenance.

Checked out this CG, we were going to stay here but there was no spots in hookup sites. The daily rate is $21 for full hookup now, not $18. The CG was fairly easy to find with GPS but didn't see any signs to direct us there. Spots are set up as pull thrus with hookups on the side nearest the road so your door faces the woods which is thick and you can't really see anything. The bathrooms and laundry area were very clean and seemed to be well maintained. We decided rather than waiting for a spot to maybe open up for us to go to Elmendorf instead, they had spots open. I would recommend this CG but either be prepared to wait for a spot to open or be prepared to go to another CG.

Very quiet park with decent space to park your rig. Got reservations for two campers with just a days notice, we scheduled for 5 days but extended it to seven. We had sites that backed up to the water and they had 30 amp service which worked well enough for our fifth wheel and for the travel trailer with us. The view of the lake was beautiful as was the view of the four eagles flying by constantly and diving in for fish occasionally. There are a number of semi-permanent residents but they were all friendly and courtesy. The rate is $20 per night which I considered good for a full hook-up and the base security seems to do an excellent job. A large number of satellite receivers are available for Dish and Direct TV users so the lack of cable is not a major issue for most. Our cell/wifi card worked well also, Sprint & Verizon. Getting to the combined base of McCord/Lewis is not a problem and they have all the things you would expect from a large base. There are a couple of casinos nearby as well as the town of Lakewood and large city of Tacoma and Seattle. Overall this is a really nice CG and the camp host takes great pride in its' upkeep. Bathrooms, although not large, were very well cleaned and in good shape maintenance wise. I would definitely stay here again if in the area and would recommend it to anyone.

Welcomed by rudeness upon checkin at 1630 although closing for checkin not until 1900. Sites and view was beautiful once you got passed the smell of goose droppings all over. It was like walking in a mine field and the geese took us as invaders. The rolling hills and abundance of deer and turkey was nice but lack of facilities and the stench was a turn off. No wonder it was easy getting into the CG on a half days notice. Our companion campers were the only others there. The CG is very quiet and isolated near the rear gate. I don't consider it a good value at $20 a night for 30 amp, water and WIFI when there are no showers or laundry room. The entry into the base is fairly simple as long as you have a DOD sticker and ID, otherwise you will need to fill out paperwork and get a visitors pass. The seem to take security very serious, which is a good thing. Overall we did not enjoy the experience here and would not return by choice.

We were unable to stay here as we were told that there was no space available so decided to stay elsewhere. We did ride by and take a look at the camp and area. We saw at least eight open RV sites when we drove by. The sites are concrete paved sites and look level, they have 30/50 amp, water, sewer and Cable. Bathrooms were locked so didn't get a chance to look inside, but from the appearance of the area around the camp and the baths/laundry, I would say all was quite clean and taken care of. There are NO Trees or bushes or grass around the area, no picnic tables or grills. Basically if you don't bring it with you then you won't have it. The FamCamp is located right next to the airstrip and is really loud during flight ops. The base is about four miles from the town of Fallon in the middle of nowhere. It has a decent commisary and small exchange that is fairly well stocked. There is a Navy Federal Credit Union on base. I am glad they told us they did not have sites available as I would prefer not using this FamCamp unless I really have to. This is not a FamCamp that I would go out of my way to stay and will take a different route to avoid.

We call ahead about six hours out and were told there was plenty of space available. When we arrived we were told to just pick a suitable spot and set up by the camp host (Steve). He said he would be around later to check us in. When Steve came by his attitude fostered a very friendly and cordial atmosphere. He was very informative and helpful and from the look of the camp he appears to really care about every aspect of the camp and the visitors there. I asked about the best BBQ in the area and he directed me to Big John's Texas BBQ, it was as good if not better than a BBQ we had at one of the top 50 BBQs in Texas just a week before. The base takes security very seriously, they look inside your rig and check all IDs, (note: no beer allowed on base). When entering the gate you must pull all the way to the right side to get through and for inspection. When leaving with your rig you go out a side fence area about a hundred yards from the gate. The roads to the Famcamp are a little rough but it looks like the roads are being worked on. The base is close enough to Flagstaff to be convenient without having to be in the traffic. While we were there it snowed both days and was in the 30s so we didn't get to do much out. The sites are gravel, long enough for fifth wheel and truck and plenty of space between sites. Hookups are 30/50 amp and water, there is a dump site as you leave the camp. Bathrooms were spotless as was the laundry room, (free Laundry); the cleanliness is a direct reflection on the camp host. Everything about the Famcamp shows that it is taken care of. I would recommend this camp to anyone travelling through the area. We will definitely stop here again if going this way.

The Fam Camp was easy to find if you follow directions, my TomTom took me right to it. We had called ahead and made reservations but checked in on Sunday so almost nothing was open. There was no bulletin board or any direction to tell us what spot to go to. We asked another camper & was told that the person they had spoken to said just take an empty spot, so we did the same. There are old reservation signs still hanging on many of the sites that are from March. It was easy to pull in and get connected, water, sewer and power 50/30 amp. Sites are long gravel pads with a covered patio with picnic table, really nice sites. The bathrooms are still being worked on, but it's obvious that they are not a priority nor is the FamCamp as it appears no one checks it with any frequency. When we arrived on Sunday we observed two dumpsters which were filled to overflowing, they were dumped on Monday morning. I was told that due to a record-setting hard freeze in early February the bathrooms and showers in the nearby clubhouse were closed, awaiting repairs. I asked if there was an estimated date of completion and was informed that they really didn't know. We could have used to showers in the aquatic center, but after taking a look at them decided to use our camper shower instead. The best thing about this area is the views of the mountains and the missile museum. Nearest town is Las Cruces, a nice city about 25 miles west. VERY quiet, remote setting. Small Commissary and even smaller BX, but adequate for the size of this base. I would not make this a stop if in the area again.

Stay here for 3 nights. Made reservation 2 days prior to arrival and had no problems getting site once we arrived. Checkin was at the marina, make sure you take pet rabies proof in with you when checking in, we did. Our site was a back in with plenty of of space on the large concrete pad, enough room for the fifth wheel and truck parked beside. The base has a nice exchange and commissary as well as a quick shop and gas station which has deisel. Lots of area to walk or bike ride next to the water/seawall. There is a long concrete pier that you can fish off of right next to the camping area. Bathrooms and showers were OK, nothing great but more than acceptable. There is a really nice community building with full kitchen and comfortable chairs with cable TV. Sites have water, sewer, power 30/50 amp, and spotty cable, about 50% of the sites didn't have working cable. The wind here gets strong rather quickly so it's not a good idea to leave your awning out if you aren't there to watch it. Getting to the base was easy and with a DOD sticker and ID card easy to get in. We took a trip over to Mustang Island State Park and Padrea Island National Seashore, this is a nice area to visit if you come here. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay here and would recommend it to anyone, and will hopefully return in the future.
