This is our first stay. We will probably stay here again since it is so close to our daughters place in Virginia Beach. The campground is old and cramped (e.g. narrow roads, tight car parking). The campground has lots of trees so limited there are only a few sites that where you can get a satellite connection. But they have cable TV which is nice. The restrooms are adequate and clean and the laundry facility is good. The campground manager is friendly and helpful. But this is an old park. The grounds are not very well taken care of. The grass has not been mowed since we have been here. Looks like it has been a couple of weeks at least. There is a one-way road through the campground but you have to be careful to figure that out when you enter the campground. There are no signs that tell you that. A big problem for us was entering the base. We got Gate 3 correctly, but there was NO indication of which way to go for RV's. There were signs for commercial vehicles. That is the direction we should have take. Hindsight is great but some times areas for commercial vehicles are only for them and not for RV's. Making a split second decision since there were cars behind us, we inched toward the main gate. It was a slow maneuver but we made it past the concrete abutments with out scraping. Very scary. And the gates guards were clueless. No help what so ever. They had no idea what to do with us as we approached the gate. A simple point to the right or waving us through the parking lot where we should have gone would have saved us a lot of trouble. (Can you tell how frustrated I was??) $22 a night for a campground like this is about $7 too much in my opinion. But convenience makes it worth it to us so we will be back. We camped in a 40' motorhome.

We like Sigsbee RV Campground. They have removed the brush from the 'Circle' overflow area, so you have a clear view of the gulf. Great views. During our time there, we camped in the 'Circle', over at the 'Rock Pile', and in 'Hollywood'. You can not beat the price for camping in the Keys! It is just great. The Rock Pile was our least favorite. Despite full hook ups it is crowded. Even Hollywood is crowded but it was a little nicer. We camped in a 40' motor home. This is our second year here and we will be back.

We thought the FamCamp was fine. In fact, it has one of the best laundry facilities we have seen at a FamCamp. We were in overflow (with 30 amp) only 1 night which surprised us. We were there a few days before the Tampa RV show. They had free tickets which was a nice gesture. The campground is near the beach and marina. We went to the FamCamp church service and were very surprised how active the group is. They must have had 150 people in the clubhouse for the church service. That was a good experience. I liked the fact I could get in a 10+ mile bike ride on base. We camped in a 40' motor home and will be back.

This is a great campground tucked away in some trees. The campground obviously is well taken care of. Our first impression was in the overflow area where it looked like there was a lot of gravel that had recently been laid down. It continued to impress us. The folks from the desk clerk, the camp host and 4 or 5 other people we met within the first 20 minutes were all friendly and helpful. The tone of the campground was congenial and friendly. The campsites are well taken care of with brush and trees cut back so we had no trouble at all getting into our site. Full water, sewer and 50 amp for $21/night. The roads around the two large loops are well maintained. They have used plenty of gravel to fill any pot holes and it is hard packed. The club house and laundry were fine. They have an active group here. Free music session put on by campers at 7 pm last night. Today we can bring a dish and the campground provides the rest for a St Patrick's Day meal. Just a nice place to stay and in a good location. We camped in a 40' motor home and will be back!

We were not going to stay here but decided to when we could make reservations. That is a real plus. I found out I could make them on Facebook which is great. We are getting our RV repaired in Fort Walton Beach at Fleet Maintenance and waiting for the part to come in a few days. The major issue I have with this campground is the tight quarters. It is almost claustrophobic. Very tight turns and really no space between sites. The facility is co located with suites and rooms and they have really jammed a lot onto this property. Last year we were here at this time and the front office area had all kinds of T-Shirts, sweatshirts and souvenirs. Not sure what happened this year by there is nothing here. Like empty nothing. Word is that "we have everything on order". If we could have made reservations at Hurlburt Field we would have done so and not stayed here. Still, the location is great, the price is right and the scenery of nearby Choctahathee Bay is great. We could do worse. It was OK here, just not my favorite. We may be back but not sure. We camped in a 40' motor home.

We had a good time at Oak Grove. Accommodations were good. Didn't like the fact that we had to move overall it was a good experience. Great laundry, nice people in the office. Can't beat the location. We camped in a 40' motor home and will likely be back.

The FamCamp is still open at the old location. The place was full and we had a bit of a time getting a site. 3 sites were open but the electricity was out at each one. The Chief of Services happened to come by and gladly had an unused trailer moved off a campsite so we could use it. Turned out well! Despite trees we had no problem with satellite coverage for the TV. Our mifi worked fine. This campground is closing in June 2013. A new facility out not far from the back gate at Hurlburt Field is scheduled to open by then. My bet is they may have a hard time making that date. But I expect it will be open sometime this summer. Looks like it will be a nice facility. We camped in a motor home and probably will be back.

We stayed three days and got a great campsite. We were right on the water and had a campfire. The staff had cut firewood stacked nearby which was a nice touch. The campground had been recently mowed and the grounds were in great shape. The lake was down but we saw a few boaters and fishermen and saw a guy catch a big one 100 yards away. The laundry is good although it is ways from the campground. Plenty of parking and a good turn around point for checking in before heading to the assigned campsite. My Verizon Mifi worked fine. My AT&T did not work. The campground is 35 miles away from Augusta and Fort Gordon so it takes a while to get there. We went downtown to the Visitor Center and played golf at Fort Gordon one day. The golf course is a real gem and was in great shape. We camped in a 40' MH.

Easy to find the campground off I-75. There were no signs to the office where we were supposed to check in but we figured it out. We unhooked our towed car and found after we did that there is a turn around in the parking lot near the office. Not very convenient but no big deal. The campground was very well maintained with grass mowed and camp sites in good order. We wanted to use our in-motion satellite for TV and moved to an open site which they accommodated for us. We enjoyed a hike around the lake on the Nature Trail near the campground. The laundry was small but has two washers and four dryers at $1 and $1.25 a load. We camped in a 40' MH and will be back.

We loved our first experience at Sigsbee. We chose to stay over in the area with the larger shower and laundry facilities. The sites are marked off for the overflow. Generator use is a must until we could rotate into a full hook up site for 2 weeks. We had no problem boon-docking/dry camping and would do it again. We camped in a motorhome.

We love the Virginia Beach area and like this campground and the one over at Dam Neck. Ocean Pines is a converted mobile home park which explains why some sewer connections are directly under the back of the motorhome rear axle. That was not convenient but overall it is a good place to stay. We would do it again.

We liked our stay at the FamCamp. We were able to sponsor friends who also had a motor home and it was no problem getting them signed in. We had campsites nearby and it worked out great. The staff are friendly and helpful and hosted a Mexican dish potluck dinner for folks on a Friday night. It was a nice way to meet some people. The location is near the Minuteman Commuter Bike trail and we rode into Lexington a couple of times. Concord and American Revolutionary War sites are all around so we enjoyed that. The T transit/train system is about 20 minutes away and we drove there to catch the train into town to see the sites and go to a Red Sox game. We camped in a motorhome and would do it again there.

The campground is near West Point which is the main reason we picked it. The staff was good - they had our reservation and we had no trouble at check in or any time during our stay. The campsite was in a large U-shaped common gravel area where we had to back in our rigs at a diagonal so they would fit. It was a bit awkward but no problem. The grounds were pretty well maintained. The road up to the campground from the road was a bit steep and curvy but we went slowly and had no trouble. The road has been recently re paved and was good. We would camp there again in our motorhome.

Not much new to add to previous reviews. The location and price are the best things about the campground. And those two items alone make it a decent choice. It apparently is a money maker but I wish they would use the money to make it a better campground and more well run. The campground help (and phantom campground host) have a schedule that is hard to follow. There are people there during the day at times. Satellite doesn't work so I wonder why it hasn't been put in. It is a real shame to be in the nation's capitol and have such a horrible campground. I think it is a problem of leadership and interest by the MWR staff. Who ever is running this place really isn't. The staff seem barely competent. There is no presence of someone who is running the place. The same issues noted previously remain. No wifi, potholes, basic upkeep, rusty water etc. New gravel was put down around the roads and campsites a while ago but many of the campsites are not level. How much does it take to get them level? Not good when someone has to raise wheels off the ground to get it level. Would we came back? Probably. Because of the cost and location. It is just a shame it isn't in better shape and more well run.

Can't beat the location if you want to be near Savannah. The wooded area is nice but it is near a highway that can get noisy. But it was no problem. We have stickers on our motorhome and tow vehicle so it could not have been easier to get on base through the Rio Gate. The gate is open 24 hours. The grounds have been mowed and cleaned up but it is a bit sparse. The large trees were no problem for our satellite dish in site #2. There is no camphost or office nearby and no laundry. The campground has undergone an upgrade to the infrastructure with new concrete pads, new water faucets and electrical 30/50 amp posts. Many sites are pull throughs. We went over to the Outdoor Rec office to pay for our site which cost us $16/nite. We have a National Park pass which they acknowledged. Can't beat the proximity to Savannah. Perfect time of the season to be here. Few campers and no neighbor noise. Bass Pro Shop, Wal Mart, Target and other stores near by. We will be back.
