Redstone Arsenal RV Park & Campground

Operated by the military, Redstone Arsenal RV Park & Campground sits on the grounds of Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, requiring valid military or retired ID for access. The campground functions primarily as a transit stop for military families during PCS moves, featuring concrete pads that accommodate RVs up to 50 feet. Gate 8 near the commissary provides easier access than Gate 9, according to campers familiar with the base layout.

The facility offers full hookups with 50-amp electrical service on level pull-through sites. fletcher6531 notes "No trees for shade" across the open campground, making summer stays particularly warm. Cell coverage varies by carrier, with Verizon typically providing three bars and T-Mobile offering two bars. WiFi service covers the campground adequately for its size.

A fenced dog park provides space for pets, while the shower house includes four washing machines and four dryers at $1 each. The campground's location keeps it relatively quiet and removed from main base traffic. Basic maintenance appears inconsistent, with one reviewer mentioning the grounds need regular mowing and cleaning attention.

For those exploring beyond the base, campsites near Huntsville offer additional options. Reservations are available, making this a reliable overnight option for military travelers passing through northern Alabama.

Many campers appreciated the large concrete pads and full hookups at this military campground. Numerous guests pointed out the complete lack of shade, though most found the facilities clean and well-maintained.

Redstone Arsenal Rv

I stayed at the newer site near gate 8. The MWR staff (Kyle) was very nice and helped me with some issues I had originally,. The grounds are very well maintained and all the sites are pass through and paved. Each site is vey large and well planned. Full hook ups. Internet is nonexistent in most of the park but my Starlink worked great and cell coverage is good. The commisary is large and there are a lot of activities to do on and off base. There are a lot of military contractors staying there and shuffle around to stay there all year. My main complaint is the bathrooms or lack of. There is only 1 shower and 2 toilets for over 90+ sites. They are run down and trash on floors, dirt, bugs were never cleaned up while I stayed there (trash in cans were always over flowing).The laundry room is older but worked well enough. There are miles of paved walking and bike trails. There are some good food trucks at gate 7 daily at lunch time. The other older RV site is around 10 miles East next to the water(looked run down and mostly long term people. Overall I enjoyed the stay but they should at a minimum clean the bathrooms daily.

Nice Military FAMCAMP

The campground(CG) was easy to find for our mid-October stay. We exited off on 14A to gate 9 where we went through the gate and then did a u-turn to take us back down past the golf course to the CG. We had no problem doing the u-turn with our 40' fifth wheel. We followed the signage to the CG and then into pull-through site 21 with FHUs. There was no formal check-in, but our name and stay dates were on the site post. The pads here are huge and the utilities including 50 AMP worked well. We got 3 bars on Verizon and 2 bars on T-Mobile along with a large selection of OTA channels. We could have used satellite as there are no trees near the RV sites. They have a nice fenced dog park plus a shower and laundry facility with 4 machines each costing$1. The WiFi worked well for a CG this size. Use Gate 8 near the commissary and BX versus 9. Gate 8 gives you an easier drive to the campground. Overall we enjoyed our overnight stay.

Parking lot

This is your typical military PCS campground for people in transit. No shade! Cement pads to park on. A laundry room, pavilion and showerhouse. There is a dog park and you are off the beaten path. Which makes it a little difficult to find the first time. But when you do your like “Duh! It was right here.” So useful for an overnight if you have a military/retired ID.
