Clear Creek RV Park

WX was not to good during this stay and the tropical whatever brought alot of rain to this area. I did go over to the NAS Pensacola and see the Naval Air Museum (atleast the inside) unfornatunately the outside exhibits were rained out. Will see them next time. The Blue Angels were preforming as well but they had a very limited show because of WX. 10 slot CG with full hookups. The pricing was $20 a night. A little challenging to get in from the main entrance to the Whiting Field. Very quite, of course the rain sort of put the brakes on most outside activities. Excellent WIFI, not to far from the Exchange and Commissary. The bathhouse was very good and it appears that the laundry room was very good as well. I did not use but did look it over. Good Facilities! Had a very well taken care of garden with a wide variety of vegetables. I don't know who was overseeing it, but it was beautiful and very well taken care of. Certainly will go back NAS Whiting Field, hopefully will have better WX--I guess we can pick our event but we can't pick our WX. 

Over the past few months I have been in contact with the Base CMC about the Monthly site rate and the unacceptable increase effective July 2016. As recently as just last week he and I spoke again. In comparison to the North West Florida area of Military Campgrounds, the FamCamp at Nas Whiting Field has now distinguished itself as the 2nd most expensive place to stay for a month or even several months during the Winter. With its lack of amenities, I found this ranking to be totally unexpected. There are far better FamCamps in the area that offer much more for less cost. I told the CMC, that it was my opinion that this new managements rate structure was going to have a very negative impact on occupancy percentage for the 2016 Winter. I ended my conversation with the CMC, believing he would do some more homework using the information and sources I shared with him and that he would address the matter a some date. Guess we all will have to just wait and see if my prediction is bared out and the CMC can cause more reasonable minds to prevail. I know myself and others will not be staying here anytime soon and my Family and I had enjoyed many Winters with the old Management. In closing, I would suggest that you check other Campgrounds in the area, both Military and Civilian and compare the rates before you choose. There are still some out there that offer 50 amp full hookup in a Family Surrounding for under $400 a month. Have a nice stay in North West Florida, but be aware of this recent turn of events at this FamCamp.

Please let me begin by saying that we stayed two winters at this location and was happy overall.  We also had planned on staying this coming winter (late November 2016 to March 2017) but have changed our plans.  We were notified that the monthly fee for us (retired military) was going to increase effective 1 July 2016.  We were "guessing" $50.00-$75.00 per month and would have accepted that but the increase went from $350.00 to $560.00 per month!!!  Outrageous for the amenities that are offered! The campground is close to the NEX and commissary, there's a pool on base but not heated so unable to use it in the winter, we were promised Wifi was being worked (both winters) but we ended up having no Wifi either winters that we stayed (we had to go to the on-base coffee shop, Liberty Center, or the Family Fleet office for Wifi).  I've been told Wifi "should" be completed by end of this month and, hopefully, it will be completed for those staying.  As far as I know, the only additional amenity that will be added is the Wifi (if it's completed as promised),  also promised was mail delivery to cluster boxes at the campground (cluster boxes were installed but no mail delivery established).  We rented a post office box downtown Milton for the winter.  I will say the MWR staff were always very, very nice and helpful whenever possible.  After having checked other military campgrounds Clear Creek is much more expensive now with less amenities than many other military campgrounds. In talking with a Clear Creek employee recently about their price increase, I was told electricity is included in their fee...it's also included at other military campgrounds as well as mail delivery, etc.  Sorry to say I feel Clear Creek staff have out-priced themselves. In closing I will say Clear Creek is a good location for restaurants, shopping and being near Pensacola, Navarre, Destin, and Ft. Walton Beaches.
