New AFI restricts visits to 3 months, then out for a month. Snowbirds be aware! Facilities are terrible, NO maintenance at this campground! They say they are building a new facility, but have been saying this for well over a year now with no construction in sight. The garbage dumpsters may or may not get emptied weekly, the flies will let you know for sure! The grass cutting is abysmal at best, tall grass everywhere! Even around the power pedestals, so watch out for creepy critters! Bathhouses, 50's vintage and falling apart! The kids that work there are nice, just have no comprehension of RV's or running a campground. Washers and dryers, forget it, most are broke and have been for over a year. Sites are OK, unless you go to the back, then you have to hope you don't drag the rear bumper or high-center your rig trying to get on your site. The Air Force should be embarrassed to have this site listed in their inventory.

This FanCamp is horribly managed. I reserved a full hookup spot 2 months prior to my arrival. Once I got here the person in the office told me to go to site 29, and the camp host directed to that site. I tried everything to try to level out my camper and the site was so small I couldn’t get close to level. I walked to the office and the girl said I can refund your money that’s all she can do. I told her I reserved months in advanced and told them I needed a fairly level site for my month stay. I asked who the camp host was and she walked me over to his location and he stated I have nothing to do with assigning the sites. I finally asked who her boss was and called Conner. He told me he would work this out and call me back. He had the girl at the front desk look at the schedule and she decided I could stay for my reserved month but I had to move a total of 5 times. After the first week of being here, many site became available for a couple of days but I was told I had to continue with the sites she provided earlier. One site that was closed for maintenance finally opened up and I asked if I could go to that site, she allowed me to go there for the 3 days she had me in overflow. I still am required to move 3 more times to complete my 1 month stay. The campground bath houses are dirty with slime in the showers and some of toilets have been out of service. This is the worst campground I have ever stayed at in my 3 years of RVing. Management needs to come to the campground unannounced and see the condition of this campground and address the people they have working here.

I've been here for about 2 weeks now. The electrical posts are a major issue! Since I have been here, three units have experienced major electrical issues because of deferred or a complete lack of maintenance on the electrical posts. All three units have had their unit inverters fried because of this lack of maintenance, including me. The bathroom facility scenario seems to have been resolved with a new camp host. He is doing the cleaning himself to ensure the facilities are acceptable.

Although the description doesn't indicate it, Keesler FamCamp IS big rig friendly! There are lots of big rigs here, including ours. The street getting into the campground is narrow, but very doable. Also, there IS wifi available. You can rent a Verizon Jetpack from the office for a $100 deposit that is fully refundable when you turn it back on. The data you use is completely free. We rented one and the service has been excellent. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a 5th wheel.

Camp host is quite rude and autocratic. His unsolicited "help" when office was closed conflicted with arrangements made with reservations. Seems to make up new rules as required to flaunt his authority. My 40 foot coach towing was not large enough to occupy one of our favorite unreserved spaces.

As mentioned by others, this is a homestead campground; it is definitely not a FAMCAMP. Really seems that the Air Force has more problems of this type than any service. Some get cleaned out every so often, other never, and some clean house for a while and then go back to the same old ways. Office has a big board with all sites listed. Just take a look, we're here in March 2010 and several on board show check in early 2009 months; that is surely not a 6 month stay on one of the 42 Long Stay sites! Also, every site is filled right now, dry camping only and yet when I was at the office this AM one of the long stay campers came in to extend stay and no questions were asked by the staff, just make the added payment and all set. This situation really stinks and should be corrected. Maybe if enough of us "travelers" give such reviews someone at Keesler AFB will take note and make corrections. Not much in amenities also, no internet, no TV, etc. Bottom line - great for homesteaders, not what FAMCAMP should be.

Nice enough campground. We arrived early and were told if we had prior reservations to check the list on the door of the office and park and come back at 1530. No problem. We go parked ok. I found on hooking up our utilities that the sewer line was just a pipe stuck up from the ground, no threads or any way to keep the sewer hose in the hole. Ijust stuck it in the pipe and hoped for the best. We attempted to set up our sattalite dish and found we could not get a signal. I noticed that the neighbors had cable running into their coach so I hooked up ours, remember that we had not got checked in yet, I found that I could only get a set screen on scan of the cable. I went to the office at 1530 and meet a very nice lady that explained the cable needed a box, which she gave me, hooked us up with the usual brochures and paperwork. On the third day I attempted to dump my tanks when I opened my valve the hose blew out of the hole and soaked my feet and the surrounding ground. The drain, because it had no cap on it, was full of leaves and other trash. The mananger called CE on a emergency call out to fix the drain. They came out about an hour later to fix it. The bath houses were in need of some updating really bad. The grounds needed a good clean up. Other than that it was a good campground for the money. We were here in a 38' class A. We will stay here again when we are in the area.

We didn't find the campground especially difficult to find or to get to in our 35' motorhome (just enter "200 Annex Rd Biloxi" into your GPS, then follow the "Keesler AFB FAMCAMP" signs to the campground entrance.) The campground itself is outside the base - just next to leased family housing - and is a bit of a letdown. It appears to have been neglected & in dire need of some "TLC": 3 of the 5 washers in the laundry were inoperable, the grounds need some tending & the shower/restrooms are BADLY in need of some upgrades. It's just a short drive over to Keesler AFB from the campground.

Host at check in was Joe and he was very accommodating, he offered us a site in the back but realized it was too small, then he put us in an electric and water site next to another big rig. According to the board his next offer was a big enough site opening up on the 19th. Well the morning of the 19th rolled around and no indication folks in the site were leaving. Different host this day said they had until 11:00 to extend their stay so at 11:45 we asked if they were staying and she told us she had no idea and they did not enforce the 11:00 rule. I told her we would like to know ASAP as we would need to make a reservation someplace else for the next day. Well at 12:30 the people drive out in their truck and we again asked the host what they were doing, she said she had no idea again. This is an example of homesteaders who pretend they are hosts and do not perform the duties of a host, and speaking of homesteaders there had to have been at least a dozen there as many had so much stuff around their RV that looked like it had been there a very long time. In conversation with folks we found some have actually been there 3 years and they move them around to different sites, another person there 6 months and one other 3 months. We are true RV'ers and follow rules so now find this to be a place we will not be quick to go back to.

What a goat rope. Very hard for larger RV’s to manage thru the small roads and very steep and badly angled sites. When we arrived, the young lady at reception office gave us a spot we couldn’t fit in, then gave us another spot with directions to enter the wrong way, then said I don’t know anything about RV’ or camping. Famcamp is not actually on the base, the road entering the area is tight, along with turning in and out of campground. I don’t recommend for 36 ft RV or larger. Very disappointed

The only positives about this Famcamp are: location and staff friendliness. Otherwise this is the most disgraceful representation of a military facility we've ever encountered. We've stayed at Famcamps across the country and this place is an utter embarrassment for the military community. The restrooms are disgusting, the grass has not been cut in at least a month, no trimming has been done in even longer, there are numerous rigs that do not conform to established MWR rules, and there is a general appearance of neglect and degeneration. Homesteaders and a site that has 2 motorcycles, a golf cart, and assorted bicycles strewn about should not be tolerated as per MWR guidelines. Even the electric service need attention: The 30 amp service next to our site was inoperable. Whomever is responsible for MWR activities on this base should be embarrassed as well as disciplined and relieved from the position due to their negligence and incompetence regarding the management here. Simple maintenance and repairs could remedy this horrible campground. Our service members deserve better than this slap in the face.

Like others in this forum, I agree with the condition of the Bathhouse/shower facility at the front of the park, totally UNSAT! However, I've found the rest of the park to be well-cared for and maintained. Yes, some of the electric boxes and posts need to be swapped out, or updated; and, the recycling area could use a rejuvenation, of sorts. But, for the most part, I love the location and proximity to the base, parks, sights, and everything else! What I wonder though, is how many people who have responded negatively about things, bothered to submit an ICE Report? It's that icon on here that reads, capital ICE. Just click on it and follow the prompts!

The directions say to turn east on Atkinson Road, but there are low tree branches across the first part of Atkinson. The safe route is to stay on Popps Ferry road to Pass Road, take a left (east) to Jim Money Road, take a left (north) on Jim Money (by the Post Office) back to Atkinson Road where you take a right (east) until you get to the FamCamp. They are also reducing the office hours to 9-4 on weekdays and 9-12 on weekends. They have installed recycling can near the dumpsters. They still are having electrical problems on some of the sites on the west side of the camp.

Nice park, stayed 4 nights and had to sit in overflow as the park is full of homesteaders. Many have been here for the three years we have been camping on our way to and from Florida. Keesler AFB needs to put a limit on how long folks can stay and force the squatters to move on. Camp host are outstanding and do all they can with what they have to work with. Camp grounds are well kept and the facilities are clean. Not a bad place to stop and rest.

This CG has a huge potential to be a great if the AF would spend some money to upgrade it. We stayed there for one night. It seems to have lots of homesteading going on. Staff were fine for the most part. The CG host was somewhat helpful. He seemed not to care too much. There are lots of maintenance issues that need to be addressed. Our site was not bad to get a 44ft 5th wheel into, but the power pedestal had been hit by another camper in the past and was leaning over. Water is good and has lots of pressure. Make sure you have a regulator. I was able to set mine for 55 PSI easy. Power quality was fine. No issue with any legs. The directions listed from another user are fine to get into the place. . Watch for low hanging trees. I found another way in. Some corners were tight, but not too much of an issue. The price is not bad at all. Very quiet at night. I would like to see some money put in for upgrades. This CG has so much to offer if they did. Over all it was not the worst place in the world, but could be better. For using as an overnight or couple days stay its fine if you cant find another place to stay at. I would only return if I really needed to. If they were to upgrade the CG then I would come back.

Worst facilities, nasty bathrooms, no AC. Mowing only done in front part of park. Less than desirable rigs allowed. Grass so high, it's dangerous with no dog station and ditch closed for erosion. Very dangerous for little kids. None of the supervisors available for a discussion. Camp host is the only good thing about this park. I would give him 100% supervision. Reservations made two months ahead with desire for closer to back and not beside office for a 6 day stay, was told we were transient, moved but to the worst part of the park. Much work needed. So sad to see this after visiting many other famcamp. Have stayed here many times, deterioration was quite evident this trip. Cleanliness and Hospitality are two different reviews..not fair to such a wonderful camp host. 1 fir cleanliness, 5 for camp host. Left a day early...just undesirable for one more day. Trucks and cars parked on grass behind rigs, visually difficult to back out.

We’ve camped in FAMCAMPs across the US. This famcamp rates no more than a 2.5. Laundry facilities were typical. Bath house was typical. However, this famcamp, overall, was seriously disappointing. Our campsite #21 was the WORST campsite we’ve ever camped on. Pad was unusable bc large cement poles, on hook-up side were too high to extend the slide. Therefore, we we had to camp in the grass to extend slides on both sides, where a huge electric box takes up 1/3 of the awning area. We could not sit under the awning of use the picnic table. The electric box also blocked use of 2 storage bins. Exit road is very narrow. Grass was long and needed trimming. Dead branches were everywhere. If properly maintained, this famcamp has the potential to be a much better facility. The BEST and only thing going for this famcamp is the price.

Don't use the Bathhouse if at all possible. Bathhouse is in drastic need of upgrades. The two toilets are loose and seals are just about gone. Urinal is stained and handiecap grab handles are rusted. The two showers are stained and look ugly. Sinks are also ugly and mirrors hanging loose or propped up on the countertop.

Facility in very poor condition, No host at FamCamp, only a clerk/typist at office to check you in.
