Redstone Arsenal MWR RV Park

Redstone Arsenal MWR RV Park in Huntsville Alabama is an awesome campground and has a perfect location to explore the local area. The daily rate is $25 a night and the weekly rate is $150. It is very well laid out and very quiet. It's very close to the Commissary and the Exchange. The bathhouse is well maintained and clean. The washroom facilities has four washers and four dryers, which are well maintained and very clean too. Our camp host were very friendly and helpful. We love this place and would stay here again. We definitely recommend Redstone Arsenal MWR RV Park to anyone wanting to explore Huntsville Alabama.

First off I have to say the Camp Host, Phil and Terri were very friendly. We were greeted and given our packet and shown where we were to be parked. Everything was great. One word of caution to campers is that you might need an electrical extension and maybe an extra water hose because for some reason the electrical boxes and water connection were installed too far forward. The concrete pads are great. The cable hasn't been connected but we were able to get around 20 channels over our antenna. The campground was full during our stay and was very quite. Gate 9 is the easiest gate to get in but all gates are large enough for RV's to clear. After clearing Gate 9, you get into the left lane and go about 3/4 of a mile then turn left on Homestead Rd. Then turn left onto Rideout and get into the right lane. Follow the signs to Goss Rd. We ride in a 43" Class A. This was not our first stop here nor will it be our last. So far this is the best Army Campground we have ever stayed at.

This is our first visit to Redstone Arsenal. I am writing this review while currently parked in the campground because we have had such a great experience here and wanted to share it! We came in at Gate 8 and had a very smooth entry, only needing to show an ID card, then traveled about 1/4 mile and saw a sign for the RV Park to the left onto Jupiter St. It took us right to the campground! The layout, signage, and sites are very well planned. Plenty of information and easy to get around. Very quiet, too. The WiFi is not very robust. Cable channels are satisfactory. There's a nice dog park; the dog run is overgrown and doesn't appear to have been used in some time. There's plenty of areas to walk the dog or ride a bike. We perused Redstone Arsenal and were amazed by everything happening here! We enjoyed Rocket Park and other space race static displays. We also learned about new space projects taking place here. NASA has a presence here. We saw NASA's International Space Station Payload Operations and Integration Center, the National Historic Landmark Redstone Test Stand, and more! A great experience.

Never ever had to mow my site in a camp ground until here at redstone. Camp host on a big riding mower manicured his spot left the rest of us with waist high weeds. Used the old push mower left at the laundry entrance to mow. 600$ a month and you mow I just do t see this as a great deal.

We have stayed here a few times as a halfway point going the New Orleans, Pensacola and Gulfport. Directions are spot on, sites are level and the dog park is always clean. Not a very loud campground and always clean. Very affordable too!

We were impressed with the friendliness of the Outdoor Rec staff who generally operate 7 days a week. These new facilities are a great value with seventh day free with payment for 6 days; campground is within easy walking distance of PX, Commissary, Post Chapel and other services. Free WIFI reception was great as well as cable TV, two services not found often at military campgrounds. Spacious, level, concrete pads with utilities optimally located made set-up a breeze.

We stopped over here for a much needed stocking up. This part of the country is not filled with Military camps. After we left Robins we stayed in GA State Parks then in the ACOE Campgrounds at Clemson SC Lake Hartwell and Lake Lanier in Gainesville GA, Lake Allatoona Cartersville GA, then Ragland Bottom at Center Lake TN. These places are great if you want a good place to stay cheap. If you have a NP Senior Pass the range from $7 - $12 per night. But only water and electric. Redstone has a great little base with a commissary & PX very close to the campground. The campground has sewer, water, electric & cable. A new laundry room with 4 w & 4 d, air conditioning. A new shower & restroom facility with is small but very nice and clean. There's the Space Camp that is very close to the Post that you can visit and Huntsville is a nice town. If you need to be in the area it's a good place to stay. If you're passing thru, it can't be much better. If you're coming from TN going south on HWY 231/431 you just keep on HWY 231 and it turns into Memorial Parkway which takes you straight to the Post.

Spent 45+ days on site due to proximity of work site. Entire stay was 1st class. Good access to everything! Great walking/running paths! Only thing I did not enjoy was having to move every 30 days due to some DOD Homesteading policy. Slight inconvenience, but the staff was superb and tried to make it as hassle free as possible. Wifi worked really well throughout the entire stay. Try and stay as close as possible to the laundry room as that is where the link is strongest. As others have indicated, landscaping e.g. trees would be a nice addition...although planted they take time to grow. BTW the washers and dryers are great, new and clean. This MWR activity is very well run and should provide you a comfortable stay. Best wishes and safe travels. Shorty sends...

This is a no-frills FamCamp which is fine. Military FamCamps are not resorts. I love the security of FamCamps. When we stay on base, we know that like-minded veterans are sharing our love to travel. We stopped and stayed for a few weeks to spend time with family. The facilities are adequate. The base needs to outsource a contract for new washers and dryers. Every time we've stopped, one or two, and three were out of service this year. They have expanded the park to more than 100 sites. The base has published the SOP and has posted it in the laundry room. The problem is they need to go by the rules. We are on site 27; there are five vehicles and an old trailer on the site next to ours. No one is on-site, and two vehicles are expired plates from Texas. Sites 1-45 are short-term visitors for 4 to 8 wks. 45-100 are primarily contractors. Most of the RVs have yet to see anyone coming or going. I have been told it is cheaper to put an RV on a site than store it in the storage lot adjacent to the campground. Is the FamCamp a storage lot or a FamCamp? Not sure why the military plays musical chairs with RVs. The husband called a month ago and asked for a particular site. That site has been empty since we arrived until today. The reservation system MWR is using needs to be updated. There must be a better way to put RVs on-site without packing up and moving every few weeks. We have a new camp host this year. Excellent, they are very proactive in keeping the facilities clean. This is the first year that the laundry area was clean. Overall Redstone FamCamp is a 4 out of 5 stars.

We were hoping to escape the cold weather and snow in Michigan, but we arrived to thirty degree temperatures and eight inches of snow. Just bad luck. The facility is very new. They have the largest concrete pads we have ever seen. Located near main post, but far from MWR, the place to pay for your camp site. All the post facilities are nearby. The fact that they have a new bathroom facility and laundry is very nice. There are very few trees for shade, but not important in winter. The MWR staff was very nice and helpful. I surely would stay again.

Perfect for our use! Big, level concrete spaces with super easy access. We arrived 10:30 at night and found a late arrival was very easy and uncomplicated. All facilities were very clean and well kept, with the only exception being a few low-lifes who don't pick up after their dogs! We travel with 4 dogs, so not a hater, just don't appreciate others not picking up! Base facilities are very close and the gas station is big rig friendly too. Dog park is a nice addition to give our dogs a little running room! Very quiet and secure with base police driving through periodically.
