We followed both our GPS and the instructions provided in the housing office email. Since we arrived on a Saturday, we called ahead to check on bringing our 40’ fifth wheel through the main gate. The visitor’s center said it should be fine, but also noted the commercial gate is open until 1:00 PM on Saturdays. Following the email's directions, we entered through the commercial gate without any issues. The airmen who checked us in mentioned that we could have gone through the front gate as well—they're able to adjust the barriers for larger rigs. We proceeded to the housing office to check in and pick up our package, as no one was staffing the office at the time, we found our welcome packet on a board just inside the entry door. We were in back-in site#6 with full hookups. The back-in was straightforward. Utilities are positioned toward the front-middle of the site, and we had no trouble connecting. Water pressure was strong, so we used a pressure reducer. We got 4 bars on Verizon and 2 bars on T-Mobile. The campground Wi-Fi was slow, with speed test results of 2.46 Mbps down and 0.71 Mbps up—barely usable. We relied on our T-Mobile home internet router instead. In this part of the FamCamp, there are trees, but satellite access should still be possible with a movable antenna. We really appreciated the size of our yard and the generous site spacing in this older section. The newer area has fewer trees and the sites are more closely packed. The base itself is small, so don’t expect a large BX or Commissary. Overall, Ellsworth is one of the nicer FamCamps we’ve stayed at to include overflow and tent sites. However, the price and limited truck gate hours on weekends plus the uncertainty about the front gate’s outbound barriers make it a bit of a hassle for large rigs—something to consider when planning your arrival and departure.
