T.M. left this review using the Directory software: - The campground hostess was exceptionally friendly and helpful. She keeps the restrooms by her office spotless. The campground was clean and well maintained, especially considering that the base policy continues to allow Mobile Home stays (ie. long term). A small number of sites are allocated for short term occupancy. However, one can return after only a 1 day absence. Bottom line, only 1 site was available for us the one night we stopped. Best to call ahead. Note: camphost is only a part time position, so a good time to call is from 1000 to 1400 hours.

Robins AFB is a nice base and a good stop over. We had made a reservation, called the camp directly and spoke with nice man. The rate was $25.00 per night. Our site was some what level. We arrived late and the office was closed. “LATE ARRIVALS, your packet of info in pinned on the bulletin board in a plastic sleeve” I missed seeing the packet, did not see our name on it, until the next day when the Camp host took it off the board. I was looking for a box with late arrival information. There is a commissary, base exchange along with a gas station. The camp ground is very, very old and in need of major over haul. There are long term folks here. We had site 18 which the water/sewer are shared by the next rv. The water spigot was so dated, it looked like an 1950 galvanized pipe with a pump handle. We had zero water pressure going into the coach and had to fill up our water tank and turn on our water pump to to take showers, do laundry or dishes. The laundry facility only has one washer and one dryer for the entire park. The bath house is old and also in need of updating. We did not use it. The park is pretty and spring has just started. When we are at Mayport Naval AS all we had to do is call the camp host if there was an issue FLOUR would come out right away and see what they could do. The camp host said it could take a month or year to get something fixed. This is unacceptable. The road into the FAM Camp is very narrow and some area dangerous with large pot holes. The email you receive confirming your reservation explains there are tight turns and large slopes.go slow.

This FamCamp could be so much more. Unfortunately, as you approach the camp it appears as a clutter of randomly-placed, tightly-packed, homesteaders, which is exactly what it is. I was told that only 7 sites are reserved for people passing trhough or staying a short time. The remainder of the sites are occupied by people, who in some cases, have been there for years. Six smaller trailers were squeezed in between the sites and were splitting FHU's. Even the smaller trailers were homesteading. The base has allowed the FamCamp to turn into a trailer court -- it is very disheartening.

This park is the diamond in the rough that everyone is always looking for. Having gotten caught in the craziness of the pandemic and our reservations were cancelled at the park we were originally heading for I called Robins to see if they could take me in. Jerry was more than understanding and was ready to do whatever to assist us. We arrived on Monday and had the usual shakedown at the gate, that's getting to be a norm these days. Jerry had put us on a site that was available until the following weekend and since we didn't know what our plans were at that time he assured me he could find me a spot if we had to stay longer. Anyway, the park is great. The site we were on was a level cement pad with full hookups, 50 amp. You can receive numerous tv channels on antenna and even though there are lots of trees, the sat signal was perfect. It says there is no wifi, however, there is. There is also decent cell signal. There are walking trails everywhere. A small lake adds to the scenic setting. We had to listen closely, but you can hear revillie and the other calls which we love to hear and which we miss when staying at civilian campgrounds. Decent PX and Commissary and gas station. This campground is not on our normal route but having come here this one time I'm sure we may adjust our travel plans in the future to stay here for a longer time. Great spot and well worth the money.

The reservation process was very easy. Left message and was called back that day. Host was very informative and welcoming. He called early on the scheduled day of arrival to confirm and provided detailed directions and information about the commercial gate. When we arrived a packet was on the board outside the office with more information. Site was level with full hookups and provided a view of the lake. Quiet for an Air Force Base. Great value at $20. Would stay here again and would recommend.

Famcamp Manager Jerry Brown is excellent. Lots of camper involvement from check-in and during entire stay. Campground has fair wifi system. Lots of nearby wooded walking trails and nearby paved 5k fitness track with 24 hr lighting. New base exchange and commissary. Small campground comfort station. Great value.

One of the best money values we have experienced, $12 for FHU. Lot of very tall pine trees and a few dead ones that were a little concerning in windy conditions. We did enjoy our stay here, good walking and close to Exchange/Commissary facilities (a mile or so). It did appear there were A Lot of Homesteaders which seemed to be active duty and my next door neighbor had been there for over a year. Had the appearance of a Base Trailer Park, but I did get a sight so who am I to complain. Some of the long termers were "piggy backed" from regular sites and were parked off in the grass nearby. The camphost/desk clerk, Lori was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms could have been cleaned a little more often, maybe once during our stay, but there was plenty of hot water and washer/dryer is available. Again, great value and we would stay again.

Very pleasant park located next to a lake in tall Georgia pines; some nicely paved sites and some grass sites. The bathhouse/laundry room is nice and clean, one washer and one dryer; can be pretty steamy in the hot summer weather. The host, Lori, is very friendly and works hard to make the park nice. Office hours are only 10 to 2 Monday thru Friday, but they do take reservations if you call early enough to get them. Lori posts clear site information on the bulletin board by the office when she's not there. The FamCamp is very near the nice Commissary and BX and the Air Museum. There are several nice lakes on Base and walking/hiking/biking trails are abundant. There is a nature trail and nice playground in the FamCamp. We enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely return. Only real drawback is the lovely trees make it very difficult to get TV reception. Do follow the directions on the web site and be prepared for a 20-minute wait for Security to open the commercial gate if you arrive on a weekend. The Phone # is posted on the gate.

Reservation process was smooth, granted I did it way in advance. Communication with manager was good. Directions that were given were spot on. It helped to study a google map along with the directions to feel comfortable navigating on base to the campground. We arrived after the commercial gate had closed, so we had to enter through the Watson Blvd gate. Our rig was too long that it could not navigate the serpentine obstacles, but the Security Forces at the gate were very helpful in removing the bollards blocking the outer lane so we could get pass through the gate. I also stayed in the infamous site #4. The power post is shared with the site next door along with the water supply. Thankfully, I always travel with a Y connection for water so I was able to hook up with the neighbor. Luckily I can also use 30 or 50 amp so I was able to use what was available. There is an extra sewer connection at the site so that worked out. The concrete pad on the site was level enough so I did not have to unhook for the night. The site is very long and can accommodate a long rig. The bathhouse is very old but functional. Great water pressure in the shower. The cost of the famcamp was the highest I've paid at a military base famcamp. In my opinion this camp is not worth $30 but everything seems to be going up these days. On a positive note, the base gas station has very large islands that can accommodate large rigs with enough room to maneuver in and out. The camp Wi-Fi has excellent signal strength, enough to stream and email. I would stay again if passing through the area.

Hard to find, not all gates will allow access, have to use gate 4 commercial vehicle gate. Wooded sites, not all on concrete pads and not level. Roadways entering are terrible, also watch out for low hanging trees. Host was nice, helpful in finding site. Amenities are great, commissary, BX, class VI and gas station but all close early. I-75 a mess with construction

This is a small campground but in a parklike setting, lots of trees, a lake, picnic tables, etc. Kudos to whoever laid out the individual sites as they seem to be at slight angles so you're not looking out your window into your neighbors. Getting to the base & finding the new commercial gate was a challenge. We overshot it by 3 stoplights. There is a sign in the median saying new gate open ahead, but no indication where it is. Jerry, the camp manager was able to talk us back to the correct area. We were coming from the east & for future reference, the gate is JUST before the substation on GA247/US120 (I think that's the right numbers). Once in, signage was not great & GPS directed us to the gun range when we first ventured out to the Commissary. The camp has one washer/one dryer & an ice machine like hotels have & all are free. We washed there & had no issues with people waiting to do so. There are some really nice trails around there & a dog area. Overall, Jerry was great, very helpful, camp is really pretty & we would stay there again, now that we know how to get there!

Did a drive thru while in Perry, Ga. and a large % of RV's look like they have been here a very long time. The grounds looked messy but had to remind myself we had a severe line of thunderstorms that went through the day before so downed branches and stuff lying around was probably from that. Road going into campground has what appears to be a start of a sinkhole as we did not remember the crater in the road from last year when we drove through. There was as FEMA trailer in the park not being used so not sure what that is for. The exchange and commissary are both new in the past couple of years so always shop there when in the area. The fuel prices on base are equal to outside the base and that is hard to find anymore. The price they charge is fair and surprised it has remained at this rate.

This review was left by DC - Reservations are taken up to 90 days out. You can stay for 180 days then you have to leave for a week. 80 % are active duty. We stayed a month it was a very nice place, Mr Jerry is the guy who runs it.

We did a drive-through while we were in the area. Couldn't stay because they were booked solid. When we drove through we could not tell if there were any spots left for temporary stays. They all looked like long term. Nothing was labeled. It's a real shame as the setting is beautiful under the trees by the lake.

We arrived later than expected due to construction on the freeway. We had a little problem finding Gate 4 and once we found it, security was not sure of the directions to the FAMCAMP. After trial and error we found it and was greeted by Lori...she pointed out our site. Once we got hooked up we met our neighbors. It was a little tight but we were happy to get the last site. The golf course was magnificent and were able to play 18 in less than 3hrs.

This is a very nice campsite for the $$. Our site allowed us a view of the lake, but other trailers, who were long term were parked on the grass in front of us & piggybacked on the water & electric. Lori, the camp host, was very friendly & helpful. All the base amenities were close & we really enjoyed the fitness center. We stayed here & drove our car to Calloway Gardens, Atlanta & Stone Mt. There is plenty of shopping close by. We didn't use the laundry or bath house. Retiree's can eat at the dining hall on Thurs.

Not a bad little campground to spend a few days in and rest up. Good location and great price. Must say it was very quiet for my stop over. Make sure if you decide to stop over use "ONLY GATE 4" for incoming and outgoing with your large rigs, travel trailers with any length. All gate security personnel really helpful in this area. Would visit this campground again without question.

We spent one night there on our way North. What a pleasure. Wish we had had time to stay longer. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean clean clean. Nice intimate little RV park. Will definitely go back.

We enjoyed our stay here. We were only going to stop for 1 night, but decided to stay a second night. Although small, we were able to get a site the same day. Lori, the office staff is very helpful and friendly. With a 6-month stay limit, there were some long-term campers. The biggest plus is the pricing. This is the proper rate to charge for a military benefit. ALL military campgrounds should follow their lead on pricing.

My ratings are low for this campground. This campground can do so much more to improve. The best thing going for this campground is the camp host. We took some damage to our 5th wheel when we left Albany. After arriving at Robbins, I asked the Camp Host if there was someone local that made site calls. She hooked me up with a great tech. He fixed my unit, and at a cost that is less than I would have paid at a dealership. The camp host even met him at the front gate for me. That is service. The down side to the campground. Looks like a trailer park. To many full timers, and they don't care how their sites look. The laundry room needed to be cleaned. The lock to the laundry room is almost impossible to open. Then need to fix it, they know it is a problem. The office is only open from 1000 - 1400, Mon - Fri. The roads in the campground need to be fixed. There is orange cones in place where the big ruts in the road are. The problem, there is no way to avoid the ruts when you leave. MWR needs to spend some quality time at the park.
