Kirtland AFB FamCamp

Camp is large enough and has many spots. Unfortunately, with no staff on the weekends, the list of available spots is all wrong. We arrived on a Sat afternoon and found there was an abundance of spots available because people left. The fact they left and the spot was available was not reflected on the list at the check-in hut. The restroom and showers nearest our site were in need some serious repairs. They did have a big fancy CCT camera on both entrances though! Also, getting through the main gate isn't the most fun. They have a lot of metal barriers/doors/gates that are very close on the sides of your rig as you approach the gate shack. For $35 per night at a Military campground, I expected better. MWR needs to step their game at this location. They're almost charging the same amount as a private campground where they had to buy the land and pay property taxes and have staff on duty during the weekends.

Nice fam camp. Easy access to the the commissary, exchange and other base amenities. Used the base auto hobby shop for some repairs. Dave, Jesus and the other guys were great and helped me out with my repairs. The camp could use a shower upgrade. One shower is just not enough but they were clean. All of the machines in the laundry room worked well but only take coins. There is a doggy wash station and propane on site. The park is ok but they need another one for larger dogs. All in all we enjoyed our stay. The fam camp staff,, Joe, Hong and Brandi were great and made us feel welcome.

It was stressful getting here as the main gate was closed, we came in through Truman gate then spent a few minutes “discussing” where the heck to go from there, you can google it (my husband did) it’s by the base housing. With it being first come first serve we worried it would be full, thank goodness there were plenty of sites left. Did the self check in no issues. Spending the weekend and moving on. Gravel spaces in the newer section has picknic tables at all sites, few trees.

Dec 2021: Stayed in “new” section of RV park. All gravel sites but plenty wide and long. Pulled in on Thursday evening about 6p and found a number of empty sites to choose from. Easy in and out. Used the self check-in procedure. Chose site before visiting office, maybe should have checked in there before taking a site. They have a campground map with grease pencil marks indicating sites taken. Still worked out okay. The information board at office indicated wi-fi but signal very poor for the area we stayed. Gassed up at West Side Exchange pumps, open 24 hrs.
