We almost did not come here because of some of the earlier negative reviews. We're glad we came, this is now a great Famcamp. We reserved and paid over the phone a couple of months in advance, so no additional check-in needed. The camp host met us at our site as we pulled in and helped us position. She saw our dogs and pointed out the dog bag/waste station locations and showed Cheryl good walking areas. Our pull-through site (16) was level and long enough for our 40' MH and towed car without unhooking. Electric and sewer fine, water pressure a little low, but acceptable. The campground and surrounding recreational areas are well-maintained. We'll definitely return to this Famcamp when visiting the Museum of the Air Force. There were only two negatives. 1. A few days before our stay, Rec Services called and explained they were re-working site assignments to fit more folks in over Memorial Day weekend. Asked if we'd be willing to change to a back-in site. I explained we were there for a one-night stay and had specifically reserved a pull-through so we would not have to unhook our car. Young man said OK and confirmed we'd be in a pull-through as reserved/paid. I count this as a negative versus a positive because our stay was before the holiday rush and there were a half-dozen empty pull-through sites the night of our stay.
2. Getting through the base to the campground was a nightmare. We had to come in the main gate. The guard was very helpful, providing a map and directions to get to the Famcamp. But, just as we were getting to the right turn to go around the flight line, the SPs put a barricade across the road and took off with no indication of what was going on. We did eventually make it to the Famcamp via a tortuous route with low-hanging trees, etc. The unannounced road closure screwed up the camp host's drive as well - she thought it was for some kind of festival/event.
