Just wanted to update after my trip. I found all three military campgrounds to be great. I was impressed with the cleanliness and facilities of all three. Corpus Christy NAS was the best. Free showers, laundry and full hookups for $15 per night (30 amp service). And it was 100 yards from the water and had a great location for getting out to the various places to see while we were there. Lack of any shade was the only downside.
Lackland AFB was very nice as well, but getting to it was a bit confusing since they make you enter from a distant gate. The camp host was non-existent and it seems like the camp runs itself. Good enough. There was some good shade on many of the sites. The facilities were great and $20 a night is a bargain.
Tinker AFB was great too. They had a real nice pond with a fishing pier but required to many permission slips and licenses to make it worth while for a one day stay. No shade but a great camp host, facilities and sites. Parking is at a premium however. I don't see why they don't expand the park and include more space for parking and maneuvering. Still, for $18 a night with full hookups, clearly a bargain.
