Little Rock AFB FamCamp

There are changes to the campground. The new section has opened up with an 10 additional winterized sites. Four older sites are closed for pad repair. There is no longer a 14 day maximum stay. The Outdoor Recreation Manager says 30 day max for non-TDY campers with a 30 day extension upon approval for a maximum of 60 days. There is a monthly rate of $450 and the daily rate is now $20/day. Two Washers/Dryers are now in the laundry room. Noticed the washers were $1/load. 

Easy access off of I 40. About 5 miles onto the base. It is a very scenic campground with some campsites shaded with the trees that border the grounds. There is a lovely pond with fountain that people were fishing in. Beautiful nature walk area and children's play yard adjacent to campground. There are quite a few long term people. We arrived late afternoon on a Sunday. I called camp host and got no answer but we drove to the campground and there was plenty of empty spaces. There was an ' Honor System' message board with numbers of available campsites and envelopes for payment with a secure Dropbox. $15 bucks a night was very reasonable in my book for this campground. The bathrooms were locked with a access code box. Luckily another camper we met shared the code so we could shower. The showers were nice and clean as was the laundry room. We did not visit the commissary or exchange during our overnight stay. I would not hesitate to stay there again. Very nice facility. A real bargain in my book. 

We had no problem finding this campground, even despite the Sentry's error in directions at the gate (told us to turn left, when it should have been right; plenty of signage, though, so we caught it). Out site was clean, our hosts were friendly and hospitable and the amenities were plentiful and convenient. Just to expound on each individual rated trait: Location: it's a bit out of the way from the interstates, but not terribly so. Signage to the base was adequate. Cleanliness/Hospitality: Camp hosts, Larry and Patty, were outstanding and very friendly. Bathrooms could use a little attention, though. Also, newcomers be forewarned, the bathroom doors ARE coded! So, if you have to go, do it before you arrive (especially after hours!) Amenities/Facilities: Sites were clean and well-kept. We did not see any homesteaders, or even signs of homesteaders during our stay. The nature trail was nice and the gas station/convenience stores, BX and Commissaries were all close by and quite useful. Value: Considering a lot of civilian campgrounds want $40-60/night, nowadays; and even state parks want $20-25/night, I think it's a top-rate value! Overall Experience: Very pleased! Will camp here, again... 

We stayed here one night while traveling east and enjoyed our stay.  There is a lot of construction on 67/167 so it can get backed up.  Getting to the camp was confusing with the construction on base on Vandenberg Rd with no detour signs.  If the construction is still ongoing and the left turn to Arnold Rd from Vandenberg is closed, take the next left at Thomas Ave, left on Cannon Dr, then right on Arnold. We were greeted right away by camp host Rick and told which spots were available, to pick one then come back with the site information and payment.  Despite what is listed, all sites are full hookup.  There are eight pull thru sites and the rest back in.  We had a pull thru concrete site which was plenty wide but the length of the concrete pad was a little short.  The rear tires of our 35 ft 5th wheel were at the edge as were the front tires of our truck, which might make for an issue with larger rigs.  There was a large lip between the pad and the road on the front and back, so take it slow.  All the utilities worked well, no wifi or cable, but Verizon coverage was good as was over the air TV reception.  There is a nice picnic area near the entrance of the park and walking trails nearby.  We did not hear a lot of jet noise, which was very nice. The value is great (how can you beat $15 for a full hookup pull thru), the location is quiet, it can be a great park, we just didn't spend enough time there to get a long term feel for it.  If passing through again we would definitely return.

The ramp at exit 11 is a mess. There's a stop sign at the bottom where you must merge with traffic on the frontage road. That traffic has stop lights. When things are busy traffic backs up way onto the freeway. You have to wait for some kind soul to let you merge in. It may be better to get off at the Main St. exit and take Marshall Rd in. You will still be outside the gate. Once through security it's easy to find the famcamp. We were told there were at least 7 open spots but 2 of them are not very user friendly. They're sort of a "Y" shape with a shared driveway. If one site is full they'd have to move their vehicle to let you in. The first sites, including these, are relatively small and close together. The main area has good pull throughs up the center,most of which are taken by permanent guests. You can tell by the elaborate patios. The wooded back-ins around the edges are decent. We had plenty of room and the trees/brush were well trimmed. There's no diesel on base but we were lucky to find a firestone store and got much needed new tires put on the next day. If you need to go to outdoor rec, it's located in the rear of the auto shop building. The large sign on the awning says Arts and Crafts but look for the lettering on the door that says outdoor rec.

Nice pull-thrus, clean, manicured park.  Nature trail nearby.  Express store located with walking distance.  Bathhouse needs to be updated, but was reasonably clean. Since I did not check in at the office - used self check in at the campground - I did not get any information about facilities on base.  A map would have been nice. If passing through the area again, I will stay here.

It had been several years since we were at the Little Rock AFB Fam Camp and was in the area to watch our grandson play college basketball. Just did a drive-thru and saw a lot of construction taking place; more RV spaces and a new comfort station. The better pull thru sites and back-in sites were taken by "homesteaders". It looked like some of them had been there for years.

New Camp Host named Rick, Really outgoing and friendly.  Rick has really been doing a great job making the camp a more favorable place to visit.  My wife and i are regulars there and the camp has never looked so good.  Rick is constantly keeping up with the grounds and facilities, even the wooded trails.  Thanks Rick for making our last stay a most pleasurable one. I understand they are adding more spaces in the wooded area.  Great.  When WiFi is installed it will really enhance future visits.

Nice campground with easy access. Site coordinator (Larry) is great and very helpful. In process of opening 12 new parking spots with full hook up. Each site has concrete pad with water, sewer and 30/50 AMP service. There is no Wifi at campground and no cable TV. We were able to get 40 channels of OTA TV. As we have grandchildren nearby this campground is idea for us and at $15 per night a real bargain.
