Quiet

There isn’t much that is offered here besides your standard w/r/s. I am here full time and I get charged $35 a night. Not bad, but every now and then I hear a person that comes and tells me that they are only charged $25 a night. Spouse has asked and they insist that it’s $35 for everyone. There are not amenities here, Wi-Fi is not all that great. I’m sure it has to do with being on the base. Off base my Wi-Fi works just fine.

I have gone to a few of the Navy RV parks around area and they charge $25 a night for w/r/s and you’re on a slab. They also offer bathroom and laundry. My point here is if you’re charging $10 extra then you should have some kind of facilities on site or a slab. What I do like about this site is that it is quiet. I’ve been here for 6 months and have not dealt with loud noise after quiet hours. For that matter nothing too loud throughout the day.

It was as if they have two sections in the campground. One section seems to have long term and then the section where the 9 sites are is nice and open with many mature trees. There is nice separation between sites. I loved the area but I am a country girl at heart. Nice to be in the heart of the military. BTW"GREAT" Military Transportation Museum. The commissary is fantastic, didn't go to the PX.
