Stayed just one night. Returned to base after 10yrs and this was a great addition. Park was clean. Easily parked our 36ft travel trailer with plenty of room to maneuver. Made reservation at the last minute and the staff was very accommodating. Will definitely use again and stay a little longer.

MWR office is open Mon-Fri 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. If support is needed after hours, contact the Officer of the Day at 609-780-1346. While the cost, per night, for the RV site is $40, there is also a $10 booking fee per reservation. Commercial RV sites are more expensive, so this higher price for an on-post RV compares well. Entrance through main gate is tight, zig-zag around barriers. However, out 32ft ClassC navigated through. The twelve sites are designated in a gravel parking lot. However, fairly level without any need for blocks or shims to autolevel. Fire ring and picnic table conveniently within the assigned space. Our ClassC pulled in to align with the electric/water/sewer put the tail end a might too close to the fire ring. Two bars with T-Mobile cellular tested at 215Mbps download/14.9Mbps upload. Starlink registered 157Mbps down/11.2Mbps upload. Over the air TV channels scanned with 90 identified, but only able to view five or six without breaking up. Reservations can now be be made up to 45 days in advance by personnel that are not active duty military or civilian USCG employees at TRACEN Cape. Check in time is between 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm. Check out time is between 8:00 am and 10:00 am. Cancellations must be made 72 hours in advance to receive a refund. Reservations handled by VacationRentalDesk.com which provides online booking and reservation management software for vacation rental homes. The site for the reservations are at their site, at https://securereservations.vacationrentaldesk.com/USCGTracenCapeMayMWR/homepage.html
