Aberdeen Shore Park Travel Camp

Really like this small campground. Some items to add to the previous posting this year include: - RV site numbers are provided during the week prior to the reservation - Get combinations for the restrooms and laundry during a weekday phone call - Get the WiFi password from the Outdoor Rec folk before arriving onsite. WiFi signal from the bathroom/laundry area is really only effective from sites 3-6 and 11-22 encircling the building 2050. - Good coverage from T-Mobile and AT&T for cellular, and excellent StarLink acquisition. - There is a boat launch slip, down from the RV park, between RV sites 22 and 23. Also, there are canoes, locked up, that can be rented from the Outdoor Recreation Center (same number as reservations). - No firewood for sale in the RV/cabin area, so stock up at grocery stores off post before entering Aberdeen Proving Grounds base. - Some tree cover for the RV on sites 17-19 (for longer rigs) and RV sites 7-10 (RVs less than 30 feet) Commissary, Post Exchange, and Theater within five miles of the RV campground. No taxi service on post.

Quiet and clean facility. The cabins are amazing, each with one full bed and two sets of bunk beds on the first floor. There are two twin beds and lots of space in the loft. Small kitchen, but service for eight with all the appropriate pots and pans. At the RV sites, water spigot is heated to forestall freezing. Electric hookups are clean and look well maintained. Septic hookup is between electric and water hookups so some over/under connection routes becomes inevitable. Camp host "Cookie", on the end of the central building, is so cordial and out-going; onsite from Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, from 9am-5pm. She gave us both the bathroom and laundry access codes, as well as a tour of one of the cabins. Cannot access the water, but can sit by the fence and look out over the river. Both the cabins and RV sites have a fire ring. Each of the 24g RV sites are concrete pad, over 40 foot length, with a grated steel picnic table. The facility maintenance clean up each RV site soon after being vacated. The fire rings, though, are not cleaned out regularly after being used, i.e. ours had both rocks and a large amount of ashes and charred wood. Had no problem getting reservations, using the website (https://aberdeen.armymwr.com/programs/campgrounds) to download the registration paperwork. Emailed the signed first two pages back to the email address on the Aberdeen site (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Do not use the email link on the Aberdeen campground webpage, as they expect the registration packet. Got an email from the Recreation Center office within an hour of sending in the forms to take credit card information. Phone call to them, and email back with the confirmation. Not as easy as online, but the rules and regulations are more involved.

This campground is one of the more difficult ones to reach to make a reservation. They now require all reservation requests to be submitted via email but seem to have difficulty receiving their emails. Out of three emails sent, only one was received. I copied and pasted the same email address for all three emails so it wasn't a typo. The location of this campground is excellent and the campground itself is very nice but the process continues to be a problem. www.aberdeen.armymwr.com/programs/campgrounds

We camped for two nights on our 31' Class A motorcoach. This is a very nice quiet campground. All the sites have a concrete pad and FHU. I think the cost is a little high, but it is a very nice campground, and it was busy, so making reservations in advance is suggested. We did get to experience some War of 1812 history in the area as well.

Great little military park. The sites are very spacious, concrete level pads, and full hook up. Everything is all new looking since the park was built in 2016. Very easy to maneuver through the campground, even with a 36 ft Travel Trailer. The only complaints were the grass seemed to have just been cut, maybe for the first time in a couple weeks since there were clumps everywhere. Our site’s sewer hookup was taller than my trailer outlet, so my hose didn’t drain without lifting it. Definitely not a big deal since the campground was so awesome. We will be back soon!

This was quite possibly among the very best military RV park we stayed at during an almost 8 month tour of the U. S. Extremely well-spaced sites, with large, level concrete pads. Fire pit suitable for grilling. Pretty and green, well-maintained. Didn't see the interior of the bathrooms but laundry was well-equipped and nicely kept. They rent kayaks right down on the water. Base swimming pool within walking distance. Commissary and BX nearby. But the really awesome thing is that while we were leaving, an employee named "Cookie" stopped in her vehicle and thanked us for staying there. Said she appreciated us and then wished us a blessed trip. Wow, that never happened before and made us feel great. Definately would go back.

Small, very clean campground! Plenty of space between sites. Staff is very professional and friendly. Because of COVID-19, all transactions were completed over the phone. We never use a boathouse or laundry so cannot comment on those facilities. Concrete pads are close to level. Had very friendly fellow campers. Plenty for wildlife lovers and bike riders. PX is small but commissary is equal to most commissaries. It is a military testing area so lots of “booms” during the day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Awesome little campground. Concrete pads were level and nice. Plenty of space between sites. Didn’t use the bathhouse, but it looked nicely kept and clean. This campground was built in 2016 I believe so it is still in really good shape. We will return again soon in our travel trailer.
