On Base Safety

Full hookup in both parks, Legacy (gravel for smaller RVs) and Sunset (cement spots with extra spot for a car). Legacy is a no thrills gated gravel parking lot that holds maybe 20 smaller RVs. Conveniently located next to the laundry and grill (the salmon is great!). Sunset is on the other side of the base down a bumpy gravel road that leads a to a hidden yet well kept RV Park butted up to a civilian baseball field. Clean and level but lots of gnats. For my very first RV experience, this was pretty awesome! Billeting staff was very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend for military and vets!
