Campsite: Manatee Cove Family Campground at Patrick Air Force Base

Nothing beats being on an Air Force/ Space Force base. The people you will meet are usually fantastic and harbor a great atmosphere. This campground is decent. There are many positives to this place but also quite a few negatives that can be easily resolved.

Firstly, the positives. There are numerous sites to choose from that are either paved or gravel. There is adequate room between each site and include a decent sized concrete pad with picnic bench. All sites are 30/50 amps with your standard 20amp outlets. Water pressure is solid and minimal disturbance from neighbors. Sewage is included with the site as well which means you can directly dump even if you have a cassette style. There are three separate locations for bathrooms, two of which include showers, and 2 for laundry. All are usually pretty tidy and well kept. There is a clubhouse (where you usually check in) that offers entertainment, although we never used it. A chipping field for your golf fanatics is also next to the campground along with a trail that is not regulated by outdoor recreations and is instead under the supervision of the security forces.

Now, the unfortunate negatives. Lawn maintenance is absolutely awful. During the summer, grass should be mowed two times a month. We were lucky to see them once a month. It made walking our dog not fun as well as aesthetically unpleasant. The shear amount of rabbits and rabbit poop everywhere became very annoying quickly. Laundry is not included, which is fine, but please at a different system that makes it easier to do laundry. Not everyone has quarters on them. There is no change machines at the campground and you'll be lucky to get a $5 roll from the PX or off base which is good for 2.5 loads. Switch the the phone app ran washers! A few of your washers need to be replaced anyways considering they are always down!

Overall a solid location if you are visiting or, like us, staying until the housing market steadies out. There is plenty to do around the area and even more when you go over the bridge to mainland. Top 3 campground to stay while in the area.

Campsite: Cactus Country RV Park

This was our first 1 month stop and although probably beautiful during the spring and summer, is not during the winter. Majority of the campers here are long term and their areas really show. Our neighbor has been there for 5 years. The amount of eclectic knick knacks spread around as decor seemed like junk during the gloomy winter season. There were multiple issues with water being off due to the city doing local construction. Washing machine was down more than it was up until it was eventually replaced prior to us departing. The owner is a great guy but the venue is a 3 star campsite
