Ditto on the comment from May 23rd. If you love F15's then, this gives you an excellent chance to observe an impromptu mini Air Show every
time they take off and invert right over your head at the end of the runway location. Awesome! It never gets old and shoots a thrill of
pride down your spine. As a practicing retired MWR civilian getting ready for FT MWR live after service, stop and take a minute to bring the
Gate Guards a Pizza or Burgers or Burrito's, and spread some moral. It not only makes the Guards day you feel good about recognizing
their lonely service keeping us safe. If you love Italian and want one of the best Italian restaurants, this side of Italy stop at the "Italianna's Ristorante & Gelteria". (On the same rd. going to the base). Get the Zuppa it's outstanding! and then order the Sicilian Flat Bread Pizza to go for the Guards. We did. And they give Vets a 10% discount. A full course meal and 2 glasses of wine, Desert and the pizza to go was only $85.00. And ask for Nicole to serve you. She gives you more than excellent customer service. My wife and I couldn't help but give her a hug before we left. Go Trump! Save our Military. And thanks to Larry that has for so long given us this resource. theusajobsguru,com. Yes, I paid Larry a fee to advertise on his site too. I'm a PT federal jobs consultant, I only help vets and do a damn good job of it, getting them referred for federal jobs. I've had 21 in my career with the DOD and CG, so I know to get a job.
Happy travels.

Information online is conflicting. As of May 23, 2024 this FamCamp is OPEN for business. Be prepared as prices have increased! It is currently $30 a night. We took a gamble and pulled into this no-reservations FamCamp, looking for a place to stop for the night. Since it's not much more than a parking lot with a playground, I wouldn't use it for more than a place to stop or a base camp for local tours. It is tricky getting through the gate unless the gate guards move several pylons, so I would suggest pulling over early just outside the gate and getting their attention first. The FamCamp is in the gym's parking lot. I did not use the gym, but I hear the showers are nice. There is no gas station on base, but 7 miles away from the base, south on 97, is a truck stop with the cheapest gas in town and they offer a $0.10 off per gallon discount for veterans.

We had a great experience here! Getting through the gate was challenging, but the soldier at the gate moved a pylon for us. It’s a very small base and you are camping on a parking lot in front of the gym with full hook ups. It’s extremely casual and we just left the payment in a box. But the location if you want to see Oregon is fantastic!!!! I’d call this place a hidden gem.

Arrived late. Dark and rainy. Our second time here. We were the only RVers there. The fitness center and RV park are being upgraded. The water was shut off so we did not leave a donation in the box. Not much going on base at night. RV lot is near security offices so they are coming and going all night.

Temporarily closed: We stopped at Kingsley Fields today for an overnight on our way south. Unfortunately, the RV sites are closed until Aug. 21, 2020 due to construction on the gym. 5 sites are in the gym parking lot with electric and water at the curb. The dump situation near the entrance remains open for use. It appears the sites replace regular parking spots along the side of the parking lot for back in parking. I would not consider the sites “big rig friendly”, you’ll be hanging out into the roadway of the striped parking lot. It’s not designed for parallel parking.We moved to a private RV Park, $50 for full hook-ups vs $15 for electric./water and dump station.

Planned to spend a couple days here, but when we arrived, the campground was full. The gate guards had to move some metal barriers for use to get through the right (truck) lane. No problems getting to the campground. It wasn't obvious that anyone staying there was homesteading. One site was taken by a tent, who was using the electric. Oh well, we moved on to a casino nearby. We knew it was a gamble trying to stop here. Beautiful and scenic drive here. We came in from the east.

Poorly managed site with little to no oversight! At least 3 of the five sites have what appear to be full time residents LIVING there. On this visit, 4 of the 5 spots were occupied by RVs and the 5th site had a car parked in it from 12-14 May; after contacting the other RV owners, they stated that the 5th RESIDENT had left for the weekend and apparently considers this spot his/her private lot...so much for first come, first serve, no reservations! I would not waste my time driving by this site for a short stay or even to look. Additionally, the lot is near the Security Forces vehicle lot and is extremely noisy from about 0500 on, not to mention the multiple trains, loose dogs and other vehicle traffic.

My wife is doing a temporary full-time stint at Kingsley, so we decided to save money on room rentals. It isn't bad for what it is, a parking lot with hookups and a picnic table. It is very quiet at night, and the town is just minutes away. This time of year is frigid, so keep that in mind if you come in the winter! The spots are right next to the gym, but the men's showers are being renovated at this time (toilets are still available). No big deal for us as we have a shower in the trailer. The new development over what other reviewers mentioned is that there is now a pay station at the site, so you do not have to go back and pay at the front gate.

The picture says it all. A very nice parking lot with five 30-amp hook ups. Check in at the gate easy. They will give you a key that goes to nothing. You park your rig and take your key back to the SP on the gate. They will give you an envelope for your fees. Drop off fee whenever you'd like at the gate, no urgency. Jets take off at 0915 every morning. You'll hear a few trains go by. Very quiet nights. Feel free to use the gym & showers open 24 hrs. No public laundry in base. Town is 5 minutes. Small BX and Class VI, M-F, closes at 1630. Barbershop too. Base is very busy during the day but after 1630, ghost town. Except for gym.

Small location with no bells and whistles. Nice to have a safe location with full hookups available at a reasonable rate. Not much at the base, but convenient to town. Will stay again when in the area.

This is one of those small hidden gems that you need to put on your list if you are in Southern Oregon. It is a parking lot with five sites. It is a clean, quiet, secure parking lot with five clean, wide, full hookup sites. It is a place that I will put on my list to return to each time that I am in the area.

We were here for one night on the weekend. We have never been on a base that was this quiet. It was great, so peaceful. What few amenities that they have were not open. The price now is 15 dollars a night and it is on a parking lot. The base was very well maintained. It could have been because of Government shut down that it was so quiet. Would stay here again.

I just read the previous reviews and can confirm the truth of all they say. Kingsley is safe, friendly and quiet. The gate guards have to scan your ID card each and every time you go through the gate, and that's a bit of a hassle, but they're all very kind and respectful. Hearing the F-15s overhead, even during night sorties, is a thrill if you ask me. They have an awesome mission here ...and besides, my son is one of the guy's calling traffic. :o) One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the fierce winds in this area. I left my awning up overnight because, in fact, there WAS NO WIND. I have witnesses! But ONE gust ...ONE HUGE GUST...and over the top it went! Live and learn....

We stopped here to get a break from the heat after visiting Crater Lake. The Kingsley Kampground is located right next to the Klamath Falls Airport. Take exit 3 (Washburn Way) off of highway 140 and head south to Joe Wright Road (first stop sign). Turn left onto Joe Wright Road, cross the railroad tracks and turn right on Airport Way. Immediately look for the Kingsley Field Monument Marker and veer right into the Main Gate. Ask the gate guard for an RV envelope and direction to the campground. After finding a site (only 5 of them), return (easy walk) to the Main Gate to drop off your payment (currently $12). Washers and dryers are located in the transient barracks across from the campground and are free. No WIFI at this installation, but you can drive down to the airport and get free WIFI in the terminal. Parking there is free. The gym is located next to the campground where you can use the shower and bathroom facilities. Very clean! The gym is also open 24 hours. Small shoppette closes at 1630 on weekdays and closed on the weekends. No washing of RVs/vehicles allowed. There is also a dump station.

I have been staying here for awhile now; am stationed here in the ANG. While not having much in the way of facilities, it is very safe, clean, and convenient to town, where you can find more facilities, such as WalMart, and plenty of food stops. For a small town, Klamath Falls has pretty much all that you will NEED. The CG does have a dump station, and the price is definitely GREAT at $12/night. It is very quiet on base, even during duty hours, and when the jets are flying. Access to Gym is a huge plus; 24 hours, restrooms and showers, and right next door! The Gym showers are nice and HOT with good spray pressure. The only minor inconvenience I have found is the abundance of mosquitoes during warm weather; sprinklers come on twice a day near the Gym/CG. Make sure that you have a water pressure regulator, because the pressure is quite high. When you are parked in the CG, sunrise (flightline side) and sunset (Gym side) are directly to the sides of your rig, and the sun is quite bright coming in the windows!

We camped here while visiting Crater Lake and touring the general area. Getting to the Guard Base was easy and the security personnel on the gate were very helpful. We were there over a long military weekend break, so we didn't see a lot going on at the base. No base facilities were open, other than the gym. The CG may not have a lot of amenities, but the RV sites were clean, quiet and convenient for the areas that we wanted to tour. I can’t complain about a Guard Base CG that is available out in the middle of no-where. Hey, I used to be stationed at Point Arena. Not many Guard Bases offer CG’s. Thanks.

Had to give this place all three's. I just stayed the one night and only hooked up electric. 30 amp. there is water and sewer available. The "campground" is a parking lot. There are 5 spaces that you back into. The hookups are along a curb that you back to. When you enter through the main gate, you should ask for an envelope and copy of the rules for the RV Park. The envelope is to put your payment in, then return it to the main gate. I did not unhook the trailer so just dropped the payment off on my way out in the morning. Everyone I came in contact was very friendly and helpful. It might be a good place to stay if you are exploring the area, but it is not a destination campground.
