I'd pretty much decided not to come here but made a change in route plan and am very glad I did. It's a great little park, quiet, off by itself. I rated amenities low just because of the rather dumb layout of some sites. Whoever thought the side by side nose to tail arrangement was good?? Also those sites tend to be rather small. I was lucky to get single site 18 and even that was quite hard to...
There were 5 spots open when we arrived around noon. I didn't trust the gps in getting us to the gate so I called. The manager said we didn't need to go to the Growden gate. We could come off 90 at Military Dr and come right in the Luke gate, which is very close to the famcamp. At this time you can't go out that way though due to construction. The full hookup sites, as in most places,...
We'd planned a 3 day stay but left after one night. The full service sites are full of long time stays. The layout there is kind of odd with half circle pull thrus. The part along the water is ok. We got partial hookup in a large gravel parking lot. The wind came up overnight and even with the slides put in the noise and rocking was uncomfortable. I know that's not management's fault but the place just didn't...
The ramp at exit 11 is a mess. There's a stop sign at the bottom where you must merge with traffic on the frontage road. That traffic has stop lights. When things are busy traffic backs up way onto the freeway. You have to wait for some kind soul to let you merge in. It may be better to get off at the Main St. exit and take Marshall Rd in. You will still be outside the gate. Once...
A beautiful park on a great base. One of the nicest community/laundry areas we've seen. St Mary's is a fun little trip. We went to the Submarine Museum, a bargain at 4$ each. Still a work in progress but they're trying. A nice little town to walk along the shore while enjoying an ice cream cone. The only thing we did not like about the park was the traffic, reason I only gave it...
We only stayed one night on the way across the state. After spending time in the Tampa area this was wonderful! Starke appeared to be a nice town with good shopping. The base is a bit off the beaten path but we didn't have to backtrack the next day to head north so it was fine. I was able to book and pay for the site by phone with no delays speaking to a very polite...
We were not sure at all we wanted to come here but curiosity got the best of us and being nearby we drove over to check it out. I'd called in late Feb and was told there was no chance of even overflow, dry camping. Then the conversation turned confusing: something about you had to wait 2 weeks in overflow, then you had to make a reservation 2 weeks out. So I asked to make a reservation...
We came in from the southeast (?) and our gps took us right where we needed to be. Once you find Ashely Phosphate Rd the rest falls into place. Turn as described onto Stall Rd. At Stall and Midland Park Rd (there's a Big T gas station on the corner) you'll turn right to what is either referred to as Aviation Rd or Perimeter Rd. Another right turn will lead you to Rivers Gate where you...
We were disappointed to not get into Pelican Roost, though the sites are closer together the view of the river is great. We supposedly got the last site open at Osprey Cove. It's an out of the way location but quiet. Once you get used to the roads it's easy to get around the base and out to the off base commissary and nex. We're not real fond of trees so our site in the last...
