Sierra Vista RV Park

Visiting here every April has been part of annual "pilgrimage". We've been coming here ever since they opened the RV Park and always enjoy our stay here. The RV Park was a little busier this year than it's ever been. But there were still plenty of vacant sites. WiFi, again, we very reliable and quick for us. We don't always have this experience using the Navy's "GoWiFi" system. Outdoor Rec staff were very friendly and easy to work with. We'll be back again next April!

We enjoyed our 2 week visit to Sierra Vista RV Park. Pretty quiet, except for the back RV sites that are along a road where people drive fast going to work at 0630. The base is a little remote (which it should be), but was fine for what we wanted. Besides the new Outdoor Recreation building (new check-in location), they've done a little work in the RV Park since opening a few years ago. They've laid gravel between most sites and planted young trees. To bad the desert weeds are taking control again. The RV Park sites were about 50% taken, but half of those were just empty trailers taking spaces. But this isn't currently a problem, as there were still about 20 vacant sites available. The free WiFi was actually pretty good and fast for us.

Well I thought Beale AFB was out there, I have to apologize to the AF folks. China Lake NAWS is really out of the way. You got want to go there its not on the route to anywhere. But it is nearly new, clean, everything you might need is there. Yes it is HOT HOT HOT. I really like this place would stay again if anywhere close. Sequoia National Park, Bristlecone Pine Forest, and Death Valley National Park are all within a days drive.

Have to give this one a 5 star rating. Reservations through Navy web site, all OK. Not able to make reservation on line, but no other issues. We stayed for 2 nights as our last nights out, returning from an 11 week trip. Host great, facilities very nice. Exchange undergoing remodeling. Location near the museum. Great breakfast at the golf course. Pads level and Park about 35% full. Glad we stopped and stayed.

Just a couple things to add beyond the previous reviews. They've added campground (camp trailer on sign with arrow) signs to the signs to follow to the golf course. The RV park and golf course are next to each other. You should check the lateral (side to side) pitch of the parking pad. I made the mistake of expecting it to be level and unhooked before checking and it was way off! Beautiful park, beautiful area (if you like mountains and high desert!) and lots of nice amenities on the base and in Ridgecrest. I'm going to be using this place more often and stay longer next time I'm in the area.

Nice campground. 20 x 40 concrete pads, just started putting gravel between all the sites. Restrooms are clean and roomy. Laundry room clean with 4 washers and 8 dryers (I think, didn't look at price). New lower rates at least til Aug 31 maybe longer. Daily 15-20-25, Weekly 98-133-168, monthly 390-540-690 (military/retired-DOD-Guest). What a gem in the Mojave. Only about 10 sites occupied. Armament Museum is very well done, I enjoyed it. WIFI is gowifi and worked fairly well. ATT cell service 4 bars. Nice small town, has a Walmart, Home Depot, & plenty of eating and other small town places. Staff and host are very friendly and pleasant to chat with. Well worth a visit and stay.

Spotlessly clean, well laid out, easy access and great people in the office and the camp host. Bathrooms are spotless, the laundry is close and very clean. The WI-Fi is available in the community room..not great, but good enough to get your mail and check the news. TV reception via antenna is good with multiple channels. The golf course is right next door and the BX and Commissary are very near by! This has been a very good experience and we will certainly return.

Brand new and spotlessly clean, 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains. The park is quiet and well lit but lacks a campground host currently so bathroom maintenance is spotty. No directions on how to check in after hours, M-F 9a-5p it's at the ITT office but after hours who knows? Didn't matter for us since there were only 3 other occupied spots.

Just departed NAWS China Lake after 3 months and had one of the best experiences of my 46 years camping. Could be we got lucky on the weather but it could be called the "Palm Springs - North" given this years winter, basically 60-70's in day and high 20's or low 30's at night. The campground is new and well laid out so nothing wrong with the campground except it is underutilized at this point. The price a major factor among us full timers is very reasonable by the month ($17/day), no cable but just pop up your antenna and get 32 HD channels. The biggest draw for us besides a daughter living there is the desert. There are endless miles of walks, golf, a very serene setting, the mountain scenery is magnificent, and the wildlife is up close and personal. Find a reason to get to this desert resort and go in October/November when all the National Parks are still accessible or wait till the snows fall in the mountains and go for the winter sports.

Since I am staying for several months I can take advantage to their monthly rate which is $17/day an great price. My time here was in October/November, the weather was terrific, the park is new and the facilities are well built, right next to the golf course, base has all kinds of places to walk/run, small but good commissary/NEX, and the park has the serenity of the desert. I recommend it as a good stop for skiers or campers in the High Sierras. Only drawback is a sewer smell under certain wind conditions.

I drove thru the rv park. The rv spaces are nice and wide. It's by the golf course at the end of the driving range.(there is a net to protect the rv's from golf balls). It's not far from the comm. (It's a small one) I have been at a few navy bases and it seams all the rv parks at them charge more than at the air force.
