Review Detail

We occupied Site #28 near entrance to campground. All sites are paved but the roads within the campground are gravel and very dusty. We had about 90 percent of all campground traffic pass our site creating a lot of dust. The hostess said there have been talk about paving the roads. We will try to get into a site on the back row next time. The Naval Aviation Museum is three-quarters of a mile from the campground. It is excellent and free. The Blue Angels practice for their airshows mostly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 0830 but this can change. Pickup a schedule at the museum. Get to the viewing area at least 30 minutes early and park at the museum. There is a grand stand (I've heard there is seating for 4,000 people) for viewing or you can take your lawn chair. There was standing room only on the day we went. You can take coffee, water, pop, etc., with you. Other interesting sites on base and within a mile or so of campground are Fort Barrancas, Barrancas National Cemetery and the old Pensacola Lighthouse. WiFi is available for 7.95 per day, 14.95 per week or 21.95 per month. There are no phone lines for dial-up. On site RV washing is allowed with fresh water only, no chemicals of any kind are allowed. The base has a free wash rack with 5 hoses. However, on the day we were there we found all hoses but one to be unusable due to rot. Take your own. The main exchange/commissary are off main base on U.S. Highway 98 about 3 miles from main gate. The gas stations at the main exchange and shoppette down the road across from the campground have diesel fuel. There are Super Walmarts just outside main and back gates. The hosts were very friendly. We will definite return to this campground.
