3.5/5 - Easy online reservation. Concrete pad.

For background, this review is for a 1 night stay in January.

The Good: reservations can be booked online (which many mil parks do not have). Sites are paved, but not plowed in the winter. Pedestals have 20/30/50AMP (there was probably water and sewer, but not sure if they shut water off for the season and sewer would have been buried in a few inches of snow). There were 3 or 4 full-timers, which was comforting as a solo traveler, but might make peak season reservations more difficult.

The not-as-good: There were no instructions on how to get there and how check in after hours. I spoke with a full-timer who pointed me in the direction of a bar...of course the young bartender and AD customers had no idea anything about FamCamp. There's no posted sign that I could notice that identifies the area as FamCamp, and therefore nothing with an opportunity to explain off-season/after hours stays. I have no idea if there is a bath house and if there is, I had no idea if it is operational in the off season. It shares a fenceline with the flightline and hangars. Which isn't too odd for ambient noise as an AD family, but may be worth knowing before booking.

For a night, it was just what I needed (30AMP), once I found it.
