Ft. Leonard Wood, MO - where to camp?

Four of them in Waynesville, http://www.rvparkreviews.com/regions/missouri/waynesville

There is a primitive campground at Fort Leonard Wood:

Piney River Camp - DOD

Although restricted to use by military personnel only, some bases allow family members to be "sponsored" by a military member. You or you son might check to see if Fort Leonard Wood provides for that.

Whenever we are traveling to new place we always use GOOGLE MAPS and type RV CAMPING in the search form. Shows all of the camping spots around where we are viewing. Mouse click for more info. I see a couple of places in Waynesville just outside the base.

You can also zoom down on the campgrounds using EARTH VIEW and actually see the campgorunds...

useful tool for us when on the road...

Fort Leonard Wood may have camping facilities on the base as well????
