Please use gate 1 (24/7) at exit 11 on I-25 (also labeled Randall Ave). A general rule – once on base, do not go under any underpasses – they are low and narrow and we don’t want you to bump your head. From gate 1, continue on Randall Ave to the second stop light; go left onto Old Glory Rd. At the next light, go right onto Missile Dr (past the commissary). Continue on Missile Dr (apx 1 mile) until you see the FamCamp sign on the side of the road. Turn onto the gravel road at the sign and follow it though the trees into the camp.
So, the room itself was really nice, really clean, I stay in a TLF so it comes with a living room, and 2 bedrooms. However the living condition is horrible during the summer. Due to the buildings being so old, they don’t have A/C, so my wife and our newborn are constantly sweating (even with our fans on them)
They don’t offer ceiling fans, just these really weak electric fans. The customer service is subpar except for maybe two people I’ve encountered. The laundry rooms have these very buggy washers and dryers that have made it difficult to get started (I would hit start, wait until I hear the lock, then come back after an hour to move my laundry, and it still says it’ll take an hour to finish)
Definitely wouldn’t stay here unless you have nowhere to go.
Great place to stay. A nicely appointed 2 room suite for $70. Cannot beat the price. We even had antelope grazing right outside both last night & this morning. Setting is beautiful in a historic building where they've kept the historic aspect while updating the amenities. The whole base is beautiful. The bathroom is huge and well appointed. One can be showering while another is doing hair, teeth, or makeup & not be in each other's way. Loved staying here. It's easy to find too & conveniently located off interstate 25.
Let me start off by saying that they state they are pet friendly. Animals are not permitted on the furniture which I understand as some animals may damage the furniture, fine, but lodging offered me the worlds crustiest leather couch known to man which I will include a picture of with my review. How my animals could have damaged it even more, I have no clue. They did provide an extra large cage to lock my animals up when we left the building but after a 1200 mile trip, it should be understandable that my furry friends would be nervous any time that we would exit the building without them.
We had stepped out to grab dinner our first night we arrived. We arrived at the lodge late on a Sunday, most places were closed. We were not gone for more than a hour when we received a call of a complaint stating that our dog had been barking for a couple hours now. I know it was our neighbors who had complained but we didn't call to complain when their child was screaming and crying at the top of their lungs or their dog was barking or growling all day or my favorite instance when the female occupant was outside screaming during their argument at 10pm that Sunday night but god forbid my nervous dog bark while we quick as possible go get dinner to return to take care of him.
Anyway. The rooms were ok. Beds were comfortable. Soft, clean and warm sheets and blanket. Theres no air conditioning. I did however appreciate the broken air conditioning unit in the master bedroom as decor, that was cute. We could not open the closet in the spare bedroom as there was a bed blocking it and there was a knob missing off the door. There was a bible in the master bedroom end table which I did use because I needed HIM to get me through the two days I was going to be staying at this lodge.
The bathroom was very clean. The shower was kind of small. Not really any room to put your hygiene products inside the shower.
There was animal fur inside one of the kitchen cabinets which I found odd. What was nice though is that the kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, cooking utensils, spoons, forks etc. The kitchen was clean.
Big living and dining area. There were tower fans provided for air circulation which were appreciated during the day.
Playground out front was nice. Not too busy during the day. I wish there were more of a grassy area for pets to use the bathroom.
I heard lodging was closing in September 2022 and I just laughed understanding why. This is my first PCS and lodging did NOT make me feel welcomed at all. I expected better. So so so much better.
This was terrible. Building (and base general) are VERY old and outdated. Lot of steep stairwells (not great with kids) and buildings are terribly labeled. Good luck finding anything to eat or drink after hours, too. No vending machines or stores nearby.
Rooms are very spacious, though. Nice park for the kids too.
Room was ok, but multiple minor issues... Fast dripping shower faucet, torn couch, inaccessible room safe, dark parking lot, steep and arrow stairwell, some lights burned out in the room, doors difficult to close, and a tv remote missing. Meanwhile, I like the location, the property location is safe, and the price quite reasonable at less than $100 per night. You are staying in buildings that are probably over 100 years old, a lot of history here, if only the walls could speak. But, appreciate there are limitations as building maintenance seems neglected, and no breakfast is included unlike most of the competition out of town. I'm okay with this, although I'm not sure my wife will tolerate these issues again.
