Sites are large and level. Campground is across the road from a large park so younger kids have a big play area. It's near landing areas so there is some noise but enjoyed watching the planes a lot more than the noise bothered me. It would be nice if you could use the commercial gate as an entrance as it's a lot closer than the main gate and the main gate curbs aren't designed for large rv's, you will have to get on them to come in but they are rounded so as long as you go slow it's not that big of a deal. Nice commissary and decent exchange nearby. Whole base has been out of ice for the week we've been here. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.
Although you must have access to Dover AFB to get to Famcamp, it is quiet and comfortable.... Didn't have any children with me, but there is a small children's park adjacent also!
The Air Mobility Command Museum is nearby and we'll worth visiting!
Perfect getaway on Dover AFB. Reasonable rates, clean restrooms and close proximity to trash when you're ready to go. Also offers rent camping.
