We stopped in at the Sharpe Depot near Stockton today (28 March 2014) to see if the ole famcamp was still open and functioning. Here is what we learned. A. The guard at the gate (a DLA employee who knew Bob and Wanda) said the famcamp is indeed open and should continue to be open through September 2014 - and that that date was not set in concrete. But that was when they were told they (the DLA) would leave. The guard did not know, of course, what the Army is planning to do when they take over a portion of the old depot/base. But it looks like you can still pop off I-5 to spend a night there through September. B. The base looks 90% deserted already - mostly empty building and vacant parking lots with just one or two building having any cars around it. The famcamp was the same as in years past - but Bob and Wanda's trailer was gone (sad news - a vacant spot), the weeds and grass had begun to grow up and it was starting to look shabby. There was only one RV at the camp when we stopped. C. Inside the registration box was (1) a handwritten note that said the rate was $15 per night and that Golden Age discounts were no longer accepted so it was $15 per night. (2) A notice that the "POC" for the camp was Ernie Sloan at the recreation office - phone (209) 982-2237 and email [email protected] So, if you want to stay here - and are concerned about the camp - you can now email or give Mr. Sloan a call.
