Military campgrounds and ID
Good Morning, everybody, and thank you for your service. I have a quick question, and did a few searches, with negative results. A dear friend is returning from the mideast after her difficult service...

Re: National Guard.
Some National Guard bases campgrounds are only available for National Guard members. One near Austin, TX is that way.
When we inquired about staying at an Oregon NG base near the mouth of the Columbia River we were told trying to stay there on a drill weekend was a bad idea because we might be bumped by drilling NG members. Heard the same thing at NG bases in other states.
While campgrounds at almost all US military bases are run by recreation departments, many NG base campgrounds are built and maintained with state funds for the benefit of drill weekend or annual training members of the guard.
Which is fine with me.
Larry does a fantastic job with the military campgrounds web site. Just read the details about eligibility. And remember that the individual base commander has a lot of decision authority over campgrounds on his/ her base.
We’ve enjoyed staying on bases or detached recreational areas like Fourth Cliff near Boston or Canyon Lake near San Antonio over the years.
