For those with military base access, the travel camp is open year-round. We have 48 full hook-up sites with cable television and currently five tent sites. Our campground is located on the shores of beautiful American Lake. For your convenience our campground has common areas that offer lounge areas with color television, coin operated washers and dryers and restrooms with shower facilities. On-site we have a sewage dump station for patron use. All full hook-up sites have individual sewer as well.
A lot quieter than Fort Lewis with the jet skis and loud racing speedboats with no mufflers (I.e. civilian side of lake, come moore in front of pier blasting their music and dance). Just 1 problem with someone stealing my underwear out of dryer-3 pairs. WTH. Add that people drive the wrong way on the one way-don’t read signs. Think your big rig has to move for them on narrow road-could use better signage.
We stayed there 2 days, beautiful and quiet place to stay, it was nice being around prior military personnel. . Very woody place loved definitely recommend and will comeback there again.
I don't have any idea why folks rates this campground so poorly. We stayed here for five days while our house was on the market. The place is quiet, shaded and all the staff, we interacted with, were excellent. I didn't need them but all the facilities were clean and serviceable. There were mosquitos in the evening, shocking, a rain forest with bugs.
I want to share the magical experience of Sherwood Forest. This Military Rv parks is awesome. Where can you get this much space for $28 a night full hooks up. We always leave our site better than we left it. The forest smell like Christmas. I will miss the sound of the birds, and the hummingbirds that came to the bird feeder. There are so much space in the upper level spots between spots you feel like you in your in a special spot in the forest. I say good night to my last sun set and wish i could take this to my next adventure. When you come here come to the ext 125. Due to the military taking money from MWR, they are not staffed well. I find that there is a lot of confusion. When asked how to come here there was so many people telling you how to get to the Air Force side to the RV Park. I am not impressed with the hours, the people and the camp host who no one really wants to work and try’s to take care of this RV park. This was an amazing experience.
Nice military campground on JBLM. There are plenty of spacious sites in a shady forest. Sites with hookups can be reserved and dry sites are available on a first come, first served basis. We stayed at a dry site for a weekend, so the shade trees were nice. Fresh water and a dump station were available on site. The only downside to staying on an Air Force base was getting woken up by aircraft on the nearby airfield! Access is limited since it is on a military base.
