Military personnel and their families access two distinct camping areas at this naval air station facility in California's Central Valley. The main campground provides full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus amenities like showers, restrooms, and WiFi, but fills quickly and requires advance reservations. A second area toward the back of the base offers dry camping at a lower monthly rate, though the single dump station presents maneuvering challenges near the car wash facility. Both areas allow pets and provide drinking water access. The location serves as a practical base for military families, with camping near Stratford available in the surrounding agricultural region for additional options.
