Williams FamCamp

Just a comment that ADA eligibility is not closely monitored. We have a placard but both ADA sites are full with no placard to be seen. Camp host phone is (904) 502-9382.

We arrived yesterday and found the FamCamp quickly. We have camped here before but the main N/S road as you come in the Mississippi gate is Aspen. Take it all the way north until you have to turn because of Main Gate construction, then turn right on Steamboat and drive until the FamCamp appears on your left. At that same intersection if you turned left you would find the BX and Commissary. We had to engage both the camp host and the Outdoor Rec office to finally get a site secured. Both of them were very friendly and very helpful. IMHO, their reservation system is rife for problems. Unlike most of the other FamCamps we have used, and we have used many from coast to coast, you drive into the base to the FamCamp, try to find a vacant spot that you will fit, unhook, then go back to the Outdoor Rec office to finalize. Sites are not assigned in advance. From what we have been told here by others, overbooking occurs, which is not surprising. The price has increased to $40/night.... and it is 100% pay in advance. For the available amenities and the condition of the FamCamp, that is overpriced. The center area of most of the sites is paved, so we were able to level our coach even though our site was not very level, The apron, front and rear is asphalt so there is room for our tow vehicle, no problem. The water pressure is strong so make sure you use a water pressure regulator. Our 50A power was stable. The sewer connection was centrally located so one sewer hose was adequate. The grass everywhere in the FamCamp looks like it has not been mowed yet this year. The "yard" areas are unusable for kids, pets or anyone. Tall grass promotes bugs and snakes. There is zero playground equipment for the youngsters. We noticed several severe ruts along the roadway in the FamCamp that need repaired. Be very careful as you make your turns as you could easily drop off and catch one of these. There is a laundry facility and it is free, however one of two (50%) of the clothes washing machines are inoperative. An ICE report was submitted about the issues identified here.

We have been staying at Williams FamCamp for several yrs when we visit the Denver area and our grandkids. It's a good location for us, clean and it was a good value at $23 per night. We heard that they had raised their rates, which I knew many military campgrounds had gone up to $30 per night, but was shocked to see that Williams jumped to $40. We probably will not be staying there any longer, we have other, less convenient places to stay that do not cost as much.

Spent 2 weeks here. It was awesome. Base commissary is large and well stocked. The MWR office staff are very friendly and helpful. Easy to get into site. Big Rig friendly, level concrete pads, bath house is clean, they are in the process of replacing the washers and dryers. When we first arrived, only 1 washer and 1 dryer worked. Plenty of space for kids to play. Do not expect to have a shady spot. LOL, no trees, but of course it is a high desert area. Beautiful sunsets over the mountains. If you go in the summer, be prepared for ozone alert days, the front range, Denver metro area is very polluted in the summer. Lots of smoke from wildfires in Utah, NW, CO and AZ seem to funnel up into the Denver area.

I really enjoyed this famcamp when I stayed last year, was cheaper than USAFA and location was great (can access from East without city traffic). Short distance to Metro stations for going downtown. Walking paths for exercise. Bathroom and laundry facility was good (but washers take a looooong time). Only negative is lack of shade. Had planned to stay a week this year too, but they raised their rate to $40. I just can't pay that.

This review is for two separate stays at the Famcamp. Each visit we had reservation (they don’t assign a site at time of reservation) and on arrival found a number of empty sites to choose from. All the sites seem to be level with a concrete pad to park on. The camp host visited each time and offered assistance if needed. Very pleasant and courteous. Plenty of grassy space between our site and fellow campers. Even though checked in with camp host and gave credit card info at time of reservation they want a visit to Outdoor Rec. As recommended, drove our toad to outdoor rec, parking lot isn’t that large for a big rig to drive thru. Check-in was easy and pretty fast. Disappointed that they refused my Camper Cash coupon. The shower house is in need of repairs, noted on first visit and still nothing done at time of second visit a couple weeks later. Overall it was a good stay without any big issues…except that Commissary changed their opening hours to 9 am despite signage at parking lot entrance still showing 8 am.
