Excellent for an overnight stay or maybe a couple of days rest during a long trip. Typical military campground with little amenities but the post has options elsewhere. They hadn't mowed the grass in many weeks.
Mary Ellen Severance
Stayed one night while traveling, great stop right off of 301. Sites are a good size with pavement. Lots of places to walk the dog. We hope to return for a few days in the future. Only suggestion is they need to mow the grass on the sites, very overgrown during our stay.
Ed Juersivich
Very nice. Exceptionally quiet. Nice and clean. But, the grass certainly needs mowed. It's about ten inches tall. Also surprised that the shower house is closed overnight until 9 AM
John Hoagland
Nice community camp building. Community fire pit. No fires allowed at sites. Clean showers, bathrooms, and laundry machines. Garbage pickup is frequent. Cardboard recycling only. Camp sites are nicely sized. Grass maintenance sometimes spaced out. RV spots are nicely paved. Lots of ticks on trails. Don't forget bug repellent or pet treatment. No playground. Large fields good for dog walks when mowed and no exercises going on. Don't complain about noise on military base unless it's your neighbors being disrespectful.
S Hutchens
Very nice, quiet campground for overnight stay in RV. Never had to level because sites were perfect! Cement slabs, nice picnic tables, laundry room/rec center, community fire pit. Price was great for everything we needed. Only negative aspect was I wish the grassy areas weren't so overgrown. Had to walk the pups in the road & it impeded expiring the common areas.
