Review Detail

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.
