My wife and I spent three nights at this FamCamp and found it to be one of the best military FamCamps. The only drawback was the price of the WIFI (which is indicated above). According to office personnel, the price of WIFI will be reduced once the current contract expires. There are several good eating establishments just outside the main gate. They can be accessed on either Pacific Coast Highway (to the left when exiting the main gate) or on Westminister Blvd (to the right when exiting the main gate.) Both are located to the north from the base. We really enjoyed the food at Rubys Diner which also has many historical photographs of early Long Beach, CA. The office personnel are very helpful and very friendly. We plan on returning in the future.

We stayed only two nights at the campground in the Marina. VERY NICE and VERY CLEAN and VERY QUIET. Office personnel are very friendly and are eager to help you get into your site. A perfect place to really relax on a small beach while watching various boats come in and go out of the Marina. While we visited this facility, we took a W/E site very close to the water area. For others that may want to stay in one of those sites, you may want to use the dump facility on the way in, since the dump area will be on the proper side as you enter (it is located on the left as you enter the Marina).

Writing this as we are still at Keesler AFB FamCamp, this is not our first stay here and certainly won't be our last. The campground has been upgraded since our last stay and is pretty nice. The only drawback is the lack of grounds upkeep. Grass is not being watered and fire ants and sticker burrs are everywhere! We have a pet and walking him around the area is done while trying to avoid the sticker burrs and fire ants. Office personnel are very helpful and very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you have a nice stay here.

We stayed from June 8th thru June 18th and found the only thing we did not like was being advised that if we wanted to have the grass around our motorhome cut and trimmed, they would have a mower and weed-whip available for us to use....if I wanted to do yard work, I would have stayed home and cut and trim our own lawn. Also, the restroom/shower area was infested with mosquitoes. This may have been resolved on the 18th, spraying was being conducted starting on this date. The stay would have been much more relaxing without the firing range being active each day at different times of the day (if you have pets, this could be very disturbing to them). For those wanting to watch rocket/Shuttle launches and not having tickets for viewing on NASA property, I would recommend Jetty Park. It is very easy to get to by going north on A1A, turning east prior to passing over the bridge (going towards the cruise terminals), following George King RD to the end. There is a snack bar, tables, seating and a viewing area upstairs.

Had a great stay at this facility. The office personnel were very friendly and helpful. Charles knows his job very well and is an excellent person to have working in the office. Pier fishing was a lot of fun even though the wind was very strong at times. This campground is undergoing major upgrades, approximately 50 new sites are being added (many of them with concrete slabs with full hook-ups). My wife and I are looking forward to our next visit at Shields Park!

Office personnel were very friendly and helpful. The gentleman by the name of Miles responds quickly to problems but getting the problem solved properly may be a different story. One camper found the dump at his site to be full or plugged up and drained his black tank onto the ground. Miles came out, looked at the mess and stated he was going to have someone pour something on the waste left on the ground....didn't happen. Another camper decided he/she no longer wanted their dump hose and dragged it (with waste inside) to the dumpster, placing it on the ground in front of the dumpster. When the trash people arrived to empty the dumpster, that's exactly what they did, emptied the dumpster and left the dump hose laying on the ground in front of the dumpster. This campground could really use some maintenance.

This was our second visit to this campground and we plan on returning again in the near future. One thing we noticed this time was entrance was only allowed through the main gate, that's no problem but the entrance is pretty tight, so watch closely as you enter. We entered the campground after hours, arriving at 5:15 p.m. and found the office closed with a note directing visitors to contact the camp host. The camp host was not available during the evening, so we just took a site and paid in the morning when the office personnel were on duty. This is a very nice campground, the entire facility is very nice and the people are very friendly. For PET OWNERS: Be careful letting your pet get too close to the gopher holes, I was told that poison has been placed in the holes recently.

We arrived today for a three day stay and found the FamCamp full but the host was very helpful in placing us in an overflow area. This worked out very well. Was able to have water, electric, full Cable-TV and WIFI as well. Great place to stay while visiting the area.

We found this campground to be very nice. I walked our pet around the entire area and did not find any mess left by pets. Most sites are back-in style. Only noise that was extreme at times were planes but that was only during the daytime hours. The beach area is certainly within walking distance and is very clean. If you need propane, you must drive out of the camper area to the cabin area to make a purchase (stop by the office to let them know you need propane and they will send someone to that area). WIFI can be purchased by day, week or month and works very well. We will certainly be returning to this campground. Also, the map provided by the office indicates only six cable TV stations....maybe it needs to be updated, we had full cable service.
