Lemoore RV Park and Campground

Not much has changed in the last year since I was here in 2009. The price of $25 a night was mandated by the regional command, and they did away with the weekly rate. Presently the CATV is not working, so they reduced the rate by $3 a night. I personally do not find it noisy. This time I am on site 9 where last year site 18. It was noisier as it is next to personnel parking lot, but more interesting to see all the activity. The trash is picked up once a week, but is left if the container is not full. Last year it was full every night, but this year four to five of the 18 sites are open each night. I guess the 70 degree weather in March helps me like the park in spite of the cost. I wanted to comment in ICE about their wash bay. It is in terrible shape and dirty with one bay closed. All equipment has been repaired wrong, if at all. But the only thing ICE allowed was to do with the Hospital. Also my 38 foot motor home will not fit in the bays, and can't wash it on site. All that being said, I will still stay here when in the area and it fits my schedule. Go Air Force.

First the good. The office staff is very friendly and bend over backwards to help. Free laundry. Nice level concrete pads for your rig. Having said that, each site is a concrete pad, surrounded by pea stone. There is a picnic table, BBQ grill and rubbish can at each site. The campground, as stated before, is across the street from the gas station. It is also at a busy intersection. Forget the jet noise, this is the noisiest campground I have stayed at yet. The noise from the jets is to be expected, and not that much. But vehicles at the intersection are very loud. Probably about half have the louder mufflers to make their vehicles sound more powerful. This combined with almost constant traffic all day and up until about 2200, make for a noisy campground. A lot of the units here are people in here for training, so they are gone all day and no complaints with them. The cost of $23 a day or the weekly rate of $140 seem to be a little high for this place. There are some good things about the base and I guess if you take advantage of all of them, you are getting your money's worth. But, $23 a day is high. As stated in another review, it is a good place for a jumping off spot for Sequoia National Park.

Lemoore is in the middle of nowhere. The Ticket n tours office where nice. The sites are good, easy in easy out. Free laundry is always a plus. The gym is right next to the RV park. The gas station across the street. Stay away from the resturnat called Naps. My wife and I both got sick after eating there, plus a little pricey. This RV park is just to costly, $23.00 a night. We used it as a launching pad for Sequoia National Park. It is about 1 1/2 drive from Lemoore. Something to think about if the National Park is in your plans. Three Rivers, CA, had a couple of nice looking RV campgrounds.

We had stayed here last year (actually met Larry and his wife while there). We had talked to the MWR folks at the Tickets and Tours office about the lack of cleanliness and the lights at the bathhouse doors not working. They did get the showers a bit better and replaced the shower curtains (which was a major improvement as the curtains were covered with mold) but didn't fix the lights. Well we came back this year and the it was back to the same condition. We happened to run into one of the Directors and complained to them (as we had already talked to the people in the office and were basically told they would 'look into it' and didn't) about it and the next day they were cleaning the bathhouse with a pressure washer and working on the lights! Overall, not the best place (especially the 'Sound Of Freedom' during flight ops) to stay and we feel VERY overpriced for the amenities and location. Also, be prepared to have to change spaces if you try to extend as they do reservations by space number and won't change the incoming to an available space. I spoke to a couple who had been there almost 5 weeks and they had to move 3 times.

D.B. wrote this review using the Directory software: We arrived at the commercial gate at 1720. It was closed. Back at the main gate the entrance is on a curve~not freindly to large RV's. I had to ride over the curb and luckily there was no post. Found several open spaces at the campground which was a relief since we came in unannounced. The internal roads are narrow and difficult to negotiate in a large RV. Arrived at the office at 1800 sharp and the office closes at 1800. The two people in the office were not freindly but at least I was able to find out what the one night price is. There was NO indication of that on the late check in board and there were no envelopes for deposit.

Overpriced for the sardine-packed sites; too close to make this a relaxing, extended stay. For $23 a night, we stayed here b/c it was a good option to overnight two nights and visit Sequoia for a day; again, gas for the rig would have been more. However, free laundry did not make the price worth it, and we have an air card for the computer so don't need WiFi, and we don't watch TV so cable isn't needed. Can't say that I like paying for others' amenities :) No playground, all gravel so no place for bikes/scooters, but teens might like the nearby community center (filled with "single seamen"), and I didn't see any recycling near the CG. We found the few organic items we needed at the commissary. Probably won't stay here again.

First off the two people at the front desk were super friendly and helpful and the park was reasonably clean and well kept. Unfortunately, that is the only plus for the price of this park. It's location is approximately 2 hours from the national parks or the coastline. You can stay closer to either area for the same price or cheaper even "on the economy". According to one of the people at the front desk, their rates had gone up about 4-5 times in the last year and a half. This coincides with the opening of their new rec center building by the way. Their price of $23 now is up 65% from what was published in the last book. None of the other places I have stayed at were close to this rate increase. The justification for the rate increase according to the front desk is that they have free laundry and wifi in the rec center. How much laundry do I have to do to make that worth while? As far as the wifi goes, I think that every place I have stayed has free wifi at the library or some other location and many places you can get it at your campsite. Additionally, my cellphone (Verizon) did not work at the campsite and hence broadband internet. While this is not the campground's fault, it does add to the overall value or attraction for me to return to this FamCamp. I was asked to fill out a customer comment card by the front desk people. I told her I would rather speak in person if possible to voice my concerns. (The cards are just to easy to disregard if they don't like what they say.) I have made many phone calls to Ron who is the person in charge. None of my phone calls have been returned as of this date. Once again I would like to say that the front desk people were really great and helpful. Their boss was not. In my opinion this is a $15 or $16 FamCamp.

It's a little off the freeways for just one night but safe. The power was very low it was lucky if it came up to 114 volts on both legs of 50 AMP service, so watch your power. I feel that it is very over priced for the campground. The entrance is in a parking lot, so if you have a 40 foot or better gets a little tight if the parking lot is crowded. The pool was right next to the campground. The park was patrolled by security and was very quite in the evenings. Since they have raised the price to 23.00 it would be nice if they would improve the spaces or give free wifi. I feel that the campground is really over priced for the location and what you get. We have stayed here 3 times and I would have to evaluate my next stay for the price.

We have been coming here since the park opened. When it first opened and for years afterward the park was a good place to go and was a good value. The only negative was the noise the sailors made on the way back from the EM club. The park was patrolled and policed. The trash cans were emptied and clean bags were provided everyday. The people in the office were superb--knowledgeable , friendly and professional. I say all this to give a reference to how it is now. The sites, while still not bad, are not receiving the maintenance that will ensure that they are kept nice and useable for the future. They no longer service the trash receptacles nor police the park. They have cut services way back but have increased the price exorbinately. This is no longer a value that a Fam Camp should be. $23.00 per night is way to much for what you get. The park, which used to be full most of the time is currently about 40-60 per cent occupied. If things keep going the way they are I think useage will decrease even further. The one remaining ray of sunshine here is the people in the office. Even though they have been cut back and are overworked they were still curteous and professional. If there were another RV park within a reasonable distance from the base I would not use this Fam Camp again.

A fair RV Park, with plenty of facilities on base. Some sites can be short and difficult for 5W to maneuver. The office staff were real friendly. We liked the free washers and dryers, but thought the RV sites are overpriced. While a convenient park to stay at, we didn't think it was very relaxing. The sound of freedom and the location in the middle of the base were not conducive to reading a book or being totally relaxed. But we did overall enjoy our stay. They have put in coded locks on the showers/bathrooms. But the laundry room requires a $10 key deposit.

In the past two years we have stayed here twice. Both times in excess of 10 days. The site management of this park is provided 7-24 by the same people that do everyone checking in and out. Even though we had reservations we had to move sites both times we stayed there. Once we moved to the sight right next to us so someone could spend the night in their reserved site, What a joke. All pads are very nice and everything worked as advertised. There is a very large cyber center just a short walk away. All you have to do is log in. The computers are all modern and the connections are super fast. Everything you need from this park is within less than two miles. The base Medical Department will also see you if your under 65. This large base has no Golf Course. The closest one is in lemoore just a short drive away and is now 18 holes and very much improved. The bath house/wash room is locked and you have to have a key to get in. On our first stay we asked them to put in a push button combonation lock but it has not happened. Our rating is a little low because after you sit on one of these pads for a few days it becomes depressing. There is no grass and the parking is very tight and there is not much room for visitor parking. We have always been around Air Stations so the noise did not bother us.

2 day stay in 5th wheel. Great personnel running it. Very clean and well kept facilities. Sites are concrete with gravel surrounding (no grass)and rather short for the larger rigs with timber curbing that you really have to watch as you pull in/out. Tight turning even though the sites are pull-throughs. For the two days we were there the noise level was very high as the fighters were flying right over the camp on the approach which went on until 9:30 at night

Only a one-day stay. Neat and orderly sites, close together, a little tight but full hookups and a nice setup overall. Fine location overall. Fresno near enough for shopping and a good sized base population (Navy F-18 fighter home base). Lots of ag and green fields and several miles off I-5, sorta half way between 5 and 99, thus away from "civiliazation". Equestrian center on base (no rentals). Fighter town is about three miles away from base center, noise is, thus, not pronounced.
