The Stay - This was just a one-night stay on the way north. Didn’t use any of the facilities. The Good - Easy access and right by the lake. Very wooded which may provide shade from the sun. (it was raining for the one night I was there, so the sun was not an issue) A bit of a drive to the commissary and exchange and they are both very small. However, the commissary has all the necessities albeit a...

1. Park Quality - This is for the Shields R.V. Park West Perimeter Road and not the main campground. GREAT park in all respects. Well maintained and facilities are great. FHUs work as required and are in a good location when parked. All streets are asphalt and in great shape. 2. Sites - Large concrete pads that are nice and level. Perimeter sites back up to woods while interior sites back up to other sites. Sites are kinda close to...

1. Park Quality - The park is overall nice but the roads are not paved and can be nasty after a rain. I did ask about the laundry and was told that all the washers were broken. This was my first stop in "Alligator" country and was taken aback by all the signs warning of them. 2. Sites - The sites are concrete and fairly level with a grass/dirt approach. The FHUs worked as expected. There was ample space...

1. Park Overview - A small park with an incredible view that has so much potential but ultimately fails because of the infestation of goat head thorns. (I thought Apache Flats was bad but this takes the prize hands down) No matter where we went, there were thorns. Around the site, in the “grass”, sidewalks, everywhere. This does not bode well for pets or bicycle riders. My rant is complete. I did not use the bathrooms and there is...

Park Review: 1. Park Quality - This is a very large park that is pretty well maintained. Plenty of washers and dryers and the facility was clean. I did not use the bathroom or shower. With the size of this park, I’m not sure why they don’t accept reservations. 2. Sites - Mostly large white rock that was packed down. There was some slope to many of the sites that could make it difficult to level front to...

Park Review: 1. Park Quality - The park needs some TLC. Lots of debris, weeds, and goat head thorns everywhere in the park. The laundry room is clean and there are plentiful washers and dryers. I did not use the restrooms or showers. 2. Sites - All sites are concrete pads that are fairly level. Good sized sites with lots of room for outdoor setups. Utilities were good with the exception of extremely hard water. 3. Location - Near Sierra...

1. Park Quality - Overall, this park is excellent.Clean and well maintained with friendly helpful staff. Laundry is free but could use another washer/dryer or two. (Might have just been my timing but every time I went, I needed to wait for an open washer). 2. Sites - All sites are pull-through concrete pads that are level. Each site had a picnic table and charcoal grill. Neighbors were a little close, but it certainly could have been worse. Utilities were...

Park Review: 1. Park Quality - This park is a jewel in the middle of nowhere. Winter home to the Blue Angels, which provides air show performances from the comfort of your own RV. There is a small but adequate commissary and a very small Exchange. The bowling alley delivers food on base. 2. Sites - All sites are concrete pads that are fairly level. Also, the sites seem to be double wide with plenty of space between neighbors. Utilities...

1. Park Quality - Lots of really great things about this park. Clean laundry, ($1.50 for wash and $1.00 for dry) Wide paved road keeps park noise down. Access to water recreation rental fun. 2. Sites - All sites are concrete pads that are fairly level. Utilities were good with the exception of extremely hard water. Sadly, goat head thorns were in abundance. My dog had her paw punctured and it occurred on our pad, not in the gravel or...

1. Park Quality - I have very mixed thoughts about the overall park. There is a lot of beauty here with a nice proximity to the golf course. (a huge benefit if you golf) But, the noise from Friar Rd, the narrowness of the park road which make vehicles going by your site exceptionally loud, the goat head thorns, and just a general malaise from maintenance about the upkeep of the RV part of the park. 2. Sites - All...

1. Park Quality - Decent place with easy access to Oceanside and Carlsbad. Overall, the park is well maintained and clean. You can expect a daily dose of sand in your rig, no matter how diligent you are about cleaning your feet. I did not utilize the showers or restrooms so can’t comment on them. I did utilize the laundry, and it was pretty gross. Open access to anyone and very poorly maintained. There is a park store but found...

1. Park Quality - I give the park a grade of fair for a number of reasons. First off, the entire park is open to anyone with base access, meaning, people (mainly surfers) can come and drive though/park wherever they want. I understand that there are day use areas and the beach is public but if I’m paying (and a high daily rate for a military park) I should have some sort of “exclusivity”. Showers, bathrooms and laundry were...

1. Park Quality - Overall a great park with expansive areas of green grass. Well maintained with exceptional staff and amenities. I did not use the bathrooms but did use the laundry. The laundry machines are a little dated but hey, they’re still free! There is a car/RV wash right at the park. The cost is $3 for 4 minutes. 2. Sites - Sites are massive concrete pads with W/S/E and are very level. (Water pressure was at 40...

1. Park Quality - I give the park quality an “F” for water pressure and management. The management said it is aware that “some” sites have water pressure issues, but why would you allow them to be used if other sites with greater pressure are available? (My pressure was barely 20 PSI) However, after talking to a number of other guests, it sounds like this is a systemic park issue. I could be wrong on this but there appears...

Park Review: 1. Park Quality - The park is well maintained and has some nice green grass between sites. I did not use the bathrooms or showers, so can’t comment on those. There was a lot of gopher activity, so much so, that it drove my dog nuts. (Could be a reason for us personally not to return.) 2. Sites - Sites are gravel/dirt pads with W/S/E and are pretty level left to right and front to back....

1. Park Quality - The park is pretty well maintained. Laundry and bathrooms are cleaned daily. The laundry is free and works well. As with much of the surrounding area, it’s mostly sand with very little dirt. One area that needs significant attention is the “grassy” areas. Scruffy and overgrown with lots of gopher activity. 2. Sites - Most sites are concrete pads with W/S/E. (There are a few sites with no sewer and a few sites that are...
