Grand Forks AFB FamCamp

Excellent facility that is well kept. RV sites are large with plenty of space for slide-outs , your vehicle and camping equipment. Water, electric and sewer were at the rear of the site and required a long sewer hose. Bath house was very clean and in good condition. A small laundry facility with two washers ($1.50) and two dryers ($1) is also located in the bath house building. Antenna TV was sketchy with only 1 major network (ABC) coming in strongly. The local Fox channel and 6 other non-network stations could also be viewed. I was able to acquire a strong DISH signal with my portable satellite dish. The lady working art MWR was very friendly and helpful.

I keep coming back as a regional favorite. Very lost cost and very quiet. I came for a 4 night stay at end of June.. HOT during the day and quite cool breezes in the evening. There a few biting insects, but it is the dry season and mostly very pleasant. I enjoyed an evening family cook-out. Outdoor Recreation office is very helpful and they assist with rentals of various sorts.( Boats, tents, etc. ) I stored my RV for a small fee of $20.00 per month. There is an archery / outdoor gun club for shotgun enthusiasts if you wish to support them. This camp is very deluxe for most, alas .. There is always room for improvement. Please! Campers need "good" Wi-Fi. Thanks!

It is very quiet and a money saver bargain. Best to visit after the Summertime when the bugs can be at low ebb. October had crickets everywhere. A few mosquitoes. ALL sites are back-in. Most prized sites seem to be along the fence line. I was confused by water hydrants as the "blue" faucets did not seem to work for my RV connection. Choose your site carefully. Honestly I would rather pay a bit more for a few upgrades. Sewer connections are very lengthy and I chose to "dump" at station after my week long stay in a 32' fifth wheel. Compared to other larger AFB FamCamps .. it is a low cost stay but needs some work and a few upgrades.

This is a hidden gem. Located at northern most area of base, quiet and more quiet. 21 spaces and only 4 units here. 50-30 amp, sewer and water. All are located at very rear of each site, not ideal for some maybe. $16/ night with senior park park pass. They did search my RV upon entering base. Really enjoyed my visit here, just finished 3 months of winter wheat harvest. Needed a quiet respite.

We stay here every year when visiting our daughter. Full hookup sites that used to be the base mobile home park. Sites on the outside edge have trees for some shade, but some of the sites have hard to get to hookups. Some need a very long sewer hose and electric cord. Winds can be very strong and just about every time we have been there, there has been a tornado warning. Center sites will have your rig facing the winds on the ends; the outside sites with trees will get the winds broadside. Last year tornado shelters were the restrooms. There are 2 washers and 2 dryers. They are small washers, but adequate. Also there is a book exchange in the laundry room. Small exchange and commissary. Walmart isn't too far away. There is a library where you can use their Wi-Fi or log onto their computers for internet access (may be closed because of Covid). It is a very quiet campground. Mosquitoes and horse flies are a problem (stables aren't far away). Bring mosquito repellent for sure. Rarely sit outside unless we put up our popup with screens because of the mosquitoes. For us, this is a perfect campground. Son-in-law works on base and it isn't far to their home. I highly recommend this campground.

Overall we enjoyed our visit here. Movie Theater, Library, etc. were all closed due to COVID so can't comment much on these. Outdoor Rec office is currently manned for phone contact 10AM - 3PM Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri. Upon arrival proceed directly to the campground. Take any open site and then call the office to check-in. There is a decoy WiFi network at the campground. I say decoy because you can see and connect to it, but the router is not actually connected to the internet. Most of the sites are out in the open but there are a few at the North end that have shade trees. I am attaching a few pictures of the North end sites to show how far away some of the hookups can be. Extra sewage hose if required because the sewage connection is located at the very back of the site on the wrong side.We were in two different spots during our stay; we moved to a shadier spot midway through. The first spot required slightly over 40' of electric cable and 20' of sewage hose. The second spot required 15' of electric cable and 35' of sewage hose.

We enjoyed our 3-day visit to the base and FamCamp. Real relaxing and quiet. This is one extremely quiet base. We hardly saw any activity going on. The Outdoor Rec staff were very nice and welcoming. They stated the FamCamp never gets full. Even if it did, there's plenty of overflow (dry) and tent spaces. The FamCamp is well taken care of, although the restrooms and showers are getting old. Regardless, they were fairly clean. Laundry is available at the FamCamp with 2 washers for $1.50 and 2 dryers for $1. The exchange and commissary on base are smaller, but have a good variety. We went to the movies and was surprised to see the new movie (Lion King) was released that day ($6). We did have problems with our sewer connection, as my 20' hose wouldn't reach. We just dumped when we left. We saw others who had problems with electric hook-ups and had to go purchase a long 30amp extension. Be aware of the placement of the hook-ups when you select your site. Overall, a very nice visit and we will be back. We even told each other that we'd like to stay here for two weeks next time.

Stayed here 13 days. Very, very quite and relaxing. We have a 40 ft. 5th wheel and fit in easy. All sites back in. Had water, electric, & sewer hookups at our site. Yes, sewer hook-up took 20 ft. of hose, on wrong side of rv. Direct TV, Verizon cell & Internet worked great. Paid $16.00 per night. FamCamp is on base and would be easy to get to, if road work was finished. Check in is at the Outdoor Rec area building. Commissary @ Exchange close, but about 15 miles to town and other shopping, easy drive to get there. Washers 1.50 & dryers 1.00. I'm not a numbers rater, either I like a FamCamp or not. Well I like this FamCamp. Will stay here again.

T.L. left this review using the Directory software: - I enjoyed my stay at grand forks. While here they were doing major repairs to Eielson St, so had to maneuver thru detour which made directions hard to follow.
