Yah, I was impressed with the three bases I stayed on in my trip. The full hookups are great with great facilities at awesome prices. If eligible, they are the way to go. Most of them don't seem to have a whole lot of recreation incorporated into them but since they are on military posts, you typically have access to the pools and other recreational facilities on the post.
They are great for overnighters due to the prices and they are great for more long term due to the fact that they seem to typically allow longer term stays before requiring you to pull out for at least a night or two. It looks to me like some of the campers were pretty entrenched. But still spaces available to the short termers. Also, the peace of mind of the added security is great. You can camp in the middle of San Antonio and not have to worry about personal safety or the security of your camper, vehicle and supplies. At least not like you would at at any other location within 10 miles of the base. I lived and was stationed there 5 years back in the 90's, I know how it can be just outside the base.
