Military only RV campground with lots of paperwork to complete and rules to follow. Seems that many RV residents are active duty and living here long term. People are friendly and nice walking around. Dogs are limited to 2 and have very limited walking areas. Dog park is available but not sure where it is located; definitely not near campground. Would stay here again, very nice location.

Quiet country setting. Next to golf course

1. Park Quality - I have very mixed thoughts about the overall park. There is a lot of beauty here with a nice proximity to the golf course. (a huge benefit if you golf) But, the noise from Friar Rd, the narrowness of the park road which make vehicles going by your site exceptionally loud, the goat head thorns, and just a general malaise from maintenance about the upkeep of the RV part of the park. 2. Sites - All sites are concrete pads that are fairly level. Utilities were good with the exception of extremely hard water. My site had loads of goat head thorns and I actually removed a half dozen plants. Spacing between sites was decent. 3. Location - The park is somewhat isolated and is not walkable to anything. Commissary and BX were a bit of a drive. (Mainly I went to Miramar) 4. Noise - While I was there, the motorcycles and diesel pickups were very disturbing as they left for work around 5:30 am. (speed also seems to be something they could care less about) Then there was Friar Rd. There was absolutely no peace and quiet as this road was a main thoroughfare for every loud vehicle on their way to and from work. And finally throw in the early morning golf maintenance and it’s a full blown sound nightmare. (I was in a site right along the golf course) 5. Cell Service - Verizon was three bars of 5G 6. Wifi - Park WiFi was 20 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up. For my Starlink, I got 178 Mbps down and 11 Mbps up. 7. Rates - $67 a day plus $3 a day for a dog 8. Access - The park is not on an installation. 9. Dog Friendliness - The presence of the goat head thorns and NO DOG signs make me say they are not very friendly to dogs. There is a small off leash park at the very back but it is overrun with gophers. Wrapping it up. There are a lot of negative things I had to say about this place and the longer I am away the more I am convinced I would not return. If I did not have a dog, that might change my view of this park
