Joint Base Elmendorf - Richardson FamCamp

We stayed for a week in the beginning of September. The base has easy access from Glenn Highway and the sites, nestled within the pines, are mostly good sized with water and power and a fair amount of space between them. The one bathhouse that was open (the other had been closed since we’d passed through six weeks earlier) had two washers and dryers. Unfortunately, the bathrooms were not serviced at all during our stay, so the TP ran out after a few days, it got a solid “F” for cleanliness and two of the four showers in the men’s room were out of order. If you have to stay in Anchorage, it’s probably still the best option, but the rec department really needs to step up their game considering how much money this campground brings in during the short season.

We stayed here five days while visiting family. Each campsite is level and has electricity and water. Some sites have sewer hook ups. if you enjoy watching airplanes, then you’ll really enjoy this campground. We got to see F 35 stealth fighters flying over and making lots of noise.
