Military folks -- Recommendations on Fam Camps

ronin718ronin718 Member Posts: 92

Just thought I'd throw this one out.  As a military retiree, I still have access to all the Fam Camps out there.  I know some are good and some not so much.  What has been the experience in the T@B family for these sites?

We did Boston last summer and stayed at the Hanscom AFB Fam Camp while there.  Facilities were decent, folks were friendly, but you are right off the runway so you'll get an early morning wakeup.

We're looking at one of the Navy sites near Yorktown, VA as an option for Williamsburg.  Any recommendations for other locations for future trips are welcome.

    RVparkreviews.com is a great place to find out how campgrounds are.  I think they have most, if not all, of the Fam Camps listed.  The one listed at Yorktown is called Kings Creek.

    I am not military, but when I was a kid as a boy scout I stayed at Andrews AFB once.  Don't remember much of it, only that it was in the middle of July and it was so hot you couldn't sleep in the tent, but it was too buggy to sleep out of the tent.  Probably why I am glad to be camping with A/C now :grin: 

    States the T@Bpole has camped, so far ;)

    The Famcamp at Tyndall is lacking, too much mud when it's raining.  Go further up the road to Pensacola NAS to Oak Grove.

    Newbie with Camper, stayed at Key West Sigsbee last year in a RV rental, it is a nice location, they have a two week rotation when full. Patrick AFB in Cocoa Beach is getting an upgrade and right next to the water, we were the smallest camper there in the T@B. Patrick is also right next to the runway, sound of Freedom!

    Just returned from wintering in Arizona. Stayed in a great FamCamp at Fort Huachuca. It's an easy day trip to Tombstone! Also there is a smaller facility at Yuma Proving Grounds. If in Florida panhandle, try Pensacola NAS. Good location and the Aviation Museum is fantastic!
