The base has a very nice 18 hole golf course. The commissary and base exchange are nearby. The famcamp has nice showers and bathrooms. There are a couple off-leash dog areas and a walking trail surrounding the famcamp. Sites are well maintained and very level.

Excellent park. Clean, quiet, well kept, wonderful staff and majority of the veterans who stay there are friendly and hospitable. Great amenities such as bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities, hiking trails and dog parks. Great value for RV'ers.

We had a great time here. We have a Dutchmen Kodiak. We spent the night, ($25/ night) - a great stay cation for us, who live about 30 min away. We enjoyed the quiet, low key stay. Staff was very attentive. Easy check in and check out. All hook ups were smooth. no issues. looking forward to staying again for another un-plugged date night(s)!

We stayed in the older part called the wagon wheel. Sites are a lot more spacious. They are all FHU. There’s a building with a bathroom and laundry room in between. I did not use the showers but walked in to look at them. It’s quiet at night during the week. On weekends it’s very noisy. A lot of road noise. During the day you will hear a lot of aircraft noise. This part of Vegas is not the greatest. The newer side of the RV park looks like a parking lot.

We found the spots here to be VERY tight. We have a 45' fifth wheel that barely fit in the spot length wise and then we had a tiny spot to park our truck in that was so close to the adjacent spot that you could barely walk between our truck and their unit. Definitely not ideal. We were told we should ask for one of the larger spaces next time, but that should really be on them when we state the size of our unit when making reservations. Base entry procedures weren't too bad, but SF at the gate were some of the most unprofessional people in uniform I've dealt with. We stayed here for a month and if we decide to return to the area we'll look at other options before settling on returning here.
