Review Detail

This is now Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst. A very large base with many gates. If you have a site number, unhook and then check in at Outdoor Rec. Directions to famcamp from Route 68 Gate - after entering gate go around traffic circle and take first right onto 4th St. At first stop light/dead end take right onto New Jersey Ave. Take first left after church onto 8th St. Go approx 1 mile (past Firestation and VA clinic) and around curve (you will see campground on your left behind trees), taking left onto Willow Pond to site. Directions from Route 545 (Brown Mills Gate, on southside of base) - inside gate street turns into Texas Ave. At first stop light, take left onto 8th St. Take first right onto Willow Pond to site. Do NOT use Route 545/Wrightstown Gate(northside of the base only) coming into or out of the base in your rv. This gate has a 6000 pound limit and a 13'0" height restriction. If using this gate in your vehicle, once through gate take 2nd exit (Texas Ave) on the traffic circle. After passing Burger King/Express Station on the right, turn right at the 2nd traffic light onto 8th St. Take 1st right to Willow Pond. To Outdoor Rec from fampcamp - exit famcamp turning right onto 8th St. Approximately 1 mile (passing VA Clinic and Firestation)take a left onto Doughboy Loop. Passing Red Cross and pool, Outdoor Rec will be on your left. The ITT Office and Equipment Resource Center are in the same building. Yes, there are only 8 sites, but they do take reservations. Reservations are nice so you don't have to make the drive if there are no openings. Sites are decent with gravel pads but only 30A and water. We were here only for 4 nights, so not having sewer was not an issue for us and will use the dump station on the way out. Bring your water filter as they have problems with rusty water. Older restrooms, but no shower house or laundry. Very nice PX and Commissary! For $20/night we were happy with the sites for the security and distance to Philadelphia, Atlantic City and some sightseeing around the state. Some neighbors were active duty waiting for housing and were very friendly and helpful, others were here just for a few nights as we were.
