Edwards AFB FamCamp

So we came from the east side wanting to enter Edwards, but as this is an Air Force Base and so military ground, they obviously didn’t let us in. The GPS says as if you could easily go through there, but obv. they stop you. I spoke to the officer who was super kind and he didn’t know about any possibility to camp or whatsoever, beside for people who work for the military. So as a European tourist I definitely fell into a trap haha.

I was pleasantly surprised by this campground. We just stayed one night in a 34 ft travel trailer, needing electric to run the AC in the 104-degree desert heat. The campground is organized in a loop, with the clubhouse(showers, laundry, lounge) in the center. The sites are paired back to back with hookups in the middle. Smaller sizes are near the entrance while larger sites are in the back. No reservations so sites are first-come, first-serve, and paid for at the rec center(or via the dropbox after hours). Hook-ups were in good condition. The landscape needs some love, even by desert standards, but it's not horrible. The campground is located next to the base family pool and is a short walk/drive to the commissary/exchange. We were grateful for this rest stop while traveling and would stay again.
