First time at Postal Point. Liked it. Not FHU but convenient dump station though the wide grey collar on the dump port is awkward and did not work well for our situation. But we got it done! We woke to a short storm with rain and the field does not drain well leaving lots of standing water at sites and in the road. Also the bathroom shower had lots of mold/mildew. I can handle the shells and sand but a little disinfectant with a mild pressure washer would help significantly. We love the host and his family at Camp Robbin’s and usually able to get a site there. Highly recommend.

Campground is just okay. Staff is unfriendly and not knowledgeable of rules. Definitely do not try to check in early even if your slot is empty, they will charge a fee, not very accommodating after traveling long distance. Almost no one picks up after their pets! Heaven forbid walking down to beach, dog droppings everywhere.

Camp Robbins is in a rustic setting within walking distance to bay, BX/Commissary. Hook-ups include 20/30/50A, water and sewer. Bathhouse and laundry in modern building. However, two of the four washers were posted as broken. Two dryers were also broken; one "eating quarters" and the other "no heat". Hookups were reversed for our Class C, with the order being septic, electric then water causing some overlap on connections. Just in one Monday afternoon, from 3pm to 8pm, there were nine loud jet takeoffs. But, as my Dad said, "That, son, is the sound of freedom". Road to Camp Robbins is an unimproved dirt path, as shown in the picture provided. However, passible as there had not been rain in the recent past. Lack of access is not grounds for refund in case of cancellation, per the Camp rules. Nice gravel spaces, but concrete pad adjacent for provided picnic table. Some isolated pine trees towering over between the sites. No grill or firepit provided. The base gas station has a low clearance, and price per gallon was about a dime more expensive per gallon that outside of base. The other camp (Postal Point) is only water/electric, but their transformer blew out on Monday with afternoon temps in the 90s. All in all, and amazing value and will be returning.

I stayed at the Postal Point location for Easter weekend. This location is on a point looking at the bay and Destin Bridge, beautiful view. All the sites are pull through with 50 amp, water and cable; sewer is at the dump station on your way out. Camp Hosts were great people, I was a last minute arrival, the main office was closed for the weekend, but they took care of me, put us in a great site. Bath house was clean. Sites are being upgraded with fresh limestone gravel; raising them above flood level. All the other amenities are located at the main camp grounds. Rates are up - $35/ngt; $225/wk; $700/mo I'd stay here again.

Hank & Sue are great camp hosts. A big Thank You to them both. Laundry & restrooms are clean & kept up. The views, the museums were great. The Commissary was low on products . Still a very friendly campground. I cannot wait to go back later this year!

We liked this small campground with electric and water. Looks like new electric was installed recently. The dump station is next to the bathhouse and isn’t exactly level but served the purpose. Our site allowed us to face towards the bay, so had great morning sunrise greet us. Site was very long pull through with plenty of grass around. Like this CG better than the larger famcamp nearer the Exchange & Commissary. However, if staying long term that would be the better option with full hook-ups. Easy access in and out of base from the Niceville end.

Postl Point famcamp- First of all, the views, being right on the water & adjacent to the Marina, are awesome. There is an area at both ends of park with dog poop bags & trash can. This could be a premier spot with some TLC. The campsites are not clearly marked & the couple close to the water have no clear parking area, requiring you to park on grass. In the rain, rv's will create deep ruts in the sandy grass. Water & electric hookups aren't always close together & there are 6 numbered sites with no utilities. Bathrooms appear to be original to the base (I'd never seen rust on a porcelain sink til now) & a taller person than me might find it difficult in the toilet stall with their legs tucked under their chin. There is no catv as it lists it as an amenity, no wifi, only two barbecues. & a random collection of a half dozen picnic tables at no particular campsite. The views may be enough to make up for the rundown condition of this famcamp though.

Quite satisfactory camp. Nicely treed, spacious, level, gravel sites, In/out roads set up well and in pretty good shape. There is a packed dirt road out back that developed potholes after rain but you don't have too use it. Bath/shower quite industrial but clean. In the laundry dryers left something to be desired in terms of ability to get the job done. Took a week to get a $1.50 refund for one that didn't hardly heat at all. Obvious predominance of long term but didn't notice a lot of clutter. Cable, wifi and mail receipt would be nice but we can live without it especially considering the adequacy of the site and the convenient location. Walk to BX / Commissary / Satellite pharmacy if you want. Halfway between commercial areas of Fort Walton and Niceville. Just go out one gate or the other.

Famcamp easy to find on base. Relatively close to the BX. Campground was never full the week we were there. Always at least 6 open sites. Appears to be a lot of long term residents but nothing like we've seen at some. Never saw any freezers/refrigerators sitting out and other 'stuff' that long term residents seem to accumulate. Our campsite wasn't all that clean. Bits of trash and a feminine hygiene applicator on the ground. We policed our site so it's cleaner when we left than when we got there. Staff were friendly and very helpful. A definite 5+ for them. Over the air TV was really iffy. Most of the time all we could get was the Gulf Coast info channel. No cable. No wifi which doesn't matter to us but if you're expecting wifi we couldn't find any hotspot. Be prepared for jet noise. Afterall it is an Air Force Base. Doesn't bother us. We drove thru Postl Point famcamp. There were a few staying there. Not as much shade. Looked to be water and electric hook up only. Great view right on the water. Much better view than at the main famcamp. Overall - we enjoyed our time there and would recommend it.

Agree with the other recent reviews. Nice park. Folks in the office were great. I reserved for 4 days about a month ago and glad we did since there were no openings while we were there. Another MWR facility that has, in essence, transitioned to Family Housing.

Nice experience. There are currently 10 active duty families living in the park (Camp Robbins) and there are plenty of kids out playing when school lets out. Honestly, we don't mind the kids. They remind us of our childhoods of playing outside. They are respectful and all stop when reveille plays at 5pm. The laundry was clean. 4 washers/4 dryers @ $1 a piece. A lot of plane noise but that doesn't bother us either. Extremely close to the water. Just a very short walk. Post'l Point is right on the water but it looks like a trailer park and is located right outside the abandon TLF. Reminds me of a ghost town. Short drive to Destin...about 25 minutes but then there you are on that beautiful water. No diesel sold on base. Hook ups were adequate. OTA reception was poor. ATT cell coverage and Directv, no problems. Our GPS took up on a road directly across from the commissary. A dirt road that is narrow and we lost our antenna from the how branches. DO NOT TAKE THIS ROAD! We found out the next morning that if you pass the commissary, there is a road to the right that will take you there much easier (Shambo Cove). Take the first or second right once on Shambo Cove. We came in the west gate.

Eglin AFB Famcamp (Camp Robbins) is laid out with wide gravel sites. All FHU utilities are solid with the exception of WIFI as there is none. OTA tv service was very disappointing for the area. They did take reservations for our 3 day stay but were mostly full while we were here. Talk is they are going to close Postal Point (other famcamp on base) as it keeps flooding during weather events and maybe extend Camp Robbins to the south. We would stay here again.

The rules have changed. Currently the rule is first come first serve but management is holding slots for Tindal AFB displaced persons. There is still a 180 day limit (paid month to month) with a 30 full days off and you can NOT return to the same site you left. They are holding some sites (between 4-8) to a 14 day 'reserved' plan but the sites seem to change daily. Reservations made through management by phone. Best to call management for current rules and occupation plan. I currently reside in this park.

We were thankful to be able to get a camping spot at Robins when we arrived. The campground was full the whole time we were there, it appears that people have figured out how to work the system to save spots by placing a tent in the spot to hold it but never occupying the spot until they return. Also notice tents were being allowed to rent RV camping (concrete) spots. Many folks with RVs would come in looking for a spot and find numerous spots with pop-up tents with no occupancy that were being saved. All other Famcamps I believe require the RV with occupants to be there. Not sure if there is any priority system applied for Active Duty, Retired, or DOD Employees. Also, not sure how DOD contractors fall into this priority. Campground sites were larger than average sites and there were no issues with electric, water, or sewer. Wish they'd spend some funds to pave the roads, or fill the pot holes. Unfortunately I would not call this a clean campground. Pet owners are advised upon arrival to pick up their pet droppings, however we observed several folks ignoring this requirement. In addition, we noticed a lot of pet droppings while walking around the campground. The area around the trash dumpster was very trashy, to include box springs, pallets, bedding, etc., which were dumped outside the dumpster. These items were not picked up the whole time we were there. We did not see any staff checking the campground for rules being followed or any other issues like the dumpster, etc. It appeared that the campground was under staffed, and we didn’t notice any maintenance or cleanup being done. Finally it appears that people have figured how to stay in the campground for lengthy stays, more on a full time basis. This campground is conveniently located and has the potential to be a beautiful campground.

We tent camped at Postl Point for a week. There are two tent only sites located next to the small inlet, just before exiting on Desoto Circle Road. I would recommend against tent camping on either of those two sites. Rent an RV site closer to the beach and camp there because the no-see-ums will eat you alive if you pitch a tent at one of the tent only sites. Otherwise, it is a great location being right on the beach. The only other problem was the RV that was parked on the last site before you exit Desoto Circle. The couple that resides there believe that one-way signs and speed limits do not apply to them. Additionally, their site (and several others) are messy and give the entire RV site the look of something out of Deliverance.

We landed at Eglin in Dec 16,and didn't depart until the end of Feb 17. This was our first full-time winter stay, but not our first rodeo staying in an RV park. We've been RVing for 20+ years. Campground is nice with larger than average sites. No issues with electric, water, or sewer. Wish they'd spend some funds to pave the roads and add more FHU sites. The sound of freedom waking you up is welcomed by most veterans, but be aware your on an Air Force base and the campground is at the end of the runway. Shower house was clean with good water pressure. Maintenance on the shower house took longer than it should have. Handicapped shower head broke and it was not fixed 5-days later when we departed. Laundry rooms were in good repair with 4-each washers and dryers that cost $1.25/load. Staff was mostly friendly and they were always responsive to Facebook communication. This was very important because the phone system didn't work to contact the office the entire time we were there. So broke in fact, you couldn't even leave a message for the staff. This is a known problem MWR has failed to resolve. Contracted management also doesn't care for the campground as well as others we've stayed at that empowered camp hosts to be the local presence. There was trash littering the sites that persisted until a camper picked it up. I spent the entire stay policing cigarette butts left behind by previous occupants. The waterfront area is a work in progress. It's getting better every week thanks to efforts of CE workers. They've been cutting back grasses to allow access to Choctawatchee Bay. Walking and bike trails nearby are in need of repair. Cut trails were nice, but paved areas were in need of repair due to heaving and large cracks. I believe the price exceeds the value of what the campground offers. There were no planned activities, even during holidays, there is no central clubhouse or like venue in either campground, there is no WIFI throughout the campground (you can get WIFI if you go sit in or near the office), no fire pits or campfires allowed, and no cable option. This was simply a decent place to park with FHU available. I'd expect a park of this type to run $30/night or $375/month. One major drawback is no reservations allowed. This is a first come, first served park. It's even more troublesome because of all the homesteading folks due to lax stay policy. Folks are turning Eglin into a family housing area. Forcing a departure for 10-days is a ruse because residents call a buddy to pull in as they pull out, so they can swap back when the minimal time period has passed. We saw at least four different rigs due this to keep their spots. Issues related to the homesteading movement make it difficult to get a spot and folks seemed to keep to themselves more than you'd experience in parks with more turnover.

Staff was very courteous. I stayed at postl point. I had to move from my first spot due to soft ground. The sites are not laid out well. Electric and water only. The view is spectacular. The price has jumped to 25 dollars a day, which i feel is high for a nonprofit setup, that hasn't had improvements in a long time.

Office personnel were very courteous and helpful.  Location and RV Sites are excellent. Could not contact the office because the phones did not work, there was no change in the change machines at the laundry mat, cleanliness of shower/toilet facilities were lacking, especially at Postal Point camp ground.
