I live near the office in site 5 and I normally am there and will sign you in anytime, week-ends included. Also we do not accept Golden Age or any other discount programs,except SMART. We are members of SMART. We normally have spaces for overnighters. We have 4 overflow sites that have water and electric and have plenty of space for anyone that needs to dry camp. We are in the process of increasing the Campground by building 12 new sites. They will be full hook-up sites. Not sure when they will be completed, but hopefull before next summer. We have a laundry room, which has 2 washers and 2 dryers and a bathhouse with showers. We have a beautiful location. Have 2 lakes at the Campground with fishing allowed for the campground residents. No license or permit required while staying in the campground. Not much shade on the sites so they are sunny, each full hook-up site has a covered patio with table. There is also a Bar-b-que grill at each site. Over flow sites have a table a Bar-b-que grill available.
Member Input: I was at the Fam camp at Maxwell AFB, Al. and was warned about space availability unless I was there for a school, then I could "live" there indefinite. From Donald Turner. 02 Mar 1998
