Military Campgrounds

I have noticed recently the RV family camp at Travis AFB is always almost full whereas the tent only sites are always mostly empty. Just saying. I always stay at the modern base AF Inn. Very nice, convenient to SF and affordable.

Nam, my family and I stayed at those inns in Germany in early 1990s (WWII era built); very nicely maintained, but not part of MWR facilities. Because we were not retired reservists then, we had to wait until the end of the day to determine if there were openings for us as we were not in Germany with a set of military orders; we were there as tourists. It was worth the wait while we toured Burtisgaden (spelling problem!).

Pretty much so. I will say this, the access rules apply to current MWR facilities. Just because a campground/famcamp was once part of a military's facility doesn't mean it's still under MWR. As some facilities construct MWR campgrounds on base, they may be relinquishing control over remotes campsites. When that happens, they revert to federal campgrounds open to all or they are sold or leased to private campground operators.
