Worst military Fam camp we have lived in. Facilities have no A/C or dehumidifier. In mid August you get out of the shower and immediately you need another shower. A lot of roaches in the restrooms. Many military fam camps don't charge for laundry, here you have to pay for the washers and the laundry room has no A/C either. $700 a month and you don't get WIFI or game rooms like for example Vandenberg Fam camp. They even want to charge $2 a day for parking an extra vehicle. Managers not very friendly. I do not recommend.

We stayed here in May 2025, and I would definitely go back. Had a beautiful view of the water, very pet friendly (BIG PLUS), close to the Outdoor Recreation beach area, and close to post amenities. The only drawback was the sites had no dump, but there was a dump station. We would definitely stay here again.

In my opinion, Camp Robbins MWR, I have never seen a MWR steal your money. Staff is subpar and dishonest at best. Once I pursued Felony theft charges, all of a sudden they sent me a refund. Be very careful around these people.

Campground is very nice, close to beach,commissary, but had to leave early to death in family. Have had to call many times to get credit on card, each time I'm told they will call back and they haven't yet, been 3 weeks. Not happy at all.

The manager is rude. The other staff are friendly. The manager kept harassing us the whole time we were there. She wouldn't let us stay in our tent an extra 6 days. She made us leave but it's funny how we were there 30 days and the guy next to us was there before we got there and he is still staying. The manager said we couldn't stay more than 30 days but she is letting other ones in tents stay past the 30 days. The bathrooms were clean. The laundry room was clean. Out of the 4 dryers only 1 works. I will never stay here again because of how the manager treated us. She is very rude and unprofessional.
