Big rig friendly with level sites but overgrown on road driving to sites. Hard to find campground and GPS was not correct. Be sure to ask direction or follow email. Closed on Sunday and Monday and people in office was not very helpful. No WiFi and could not get satellite because of trees. No dog park but lots of grass to walk dog. Storage at campground was convenient and $5.00 a day. Convenient to commissary, exchange and library and dog kennel. - Fulltimersrv

This was our third stay here, location good (very little to choose from in Seattle/Tacoma area); close to family, and easy access. Easy to get to park from any of the base gates, but for our 45ft, towing, the Logistics gate at McChord Field works best; a base map is helpful. Best to disconnect before entering park, and trees (which are kept well trimmed back and up) require some careful maneuvering, but it can be done successfully, even us very big rigs! There are several sites large enough for a big rig. Plenty of space around most sites, lots of fir trees, so potentially lots of tree debris at certain times of the year. Sites basically level, with occasional uneven pavement from roots. Being close to an airfield, there is the occasional airplane noise (doesn't bother us), but none this time, due to construction work on the runway. Facilities are nice and clean. Friendly, helpful staff. We noticed this time: garbage bin emptied, but not the recycling, was overflowing. - TD 1981-Navy Vets

We were looking for a spot in the Seattle area and they were tough to find. We looked at the reviews of all three famcamps at Jpint Base Lewis McChord. This seemed the best. The reviews are pretty limited and old, so thought it was time to update them. First, the directions worked perfectly and got us to the main gate at McChord Field. We made it through the gate with no problem in our 35' Class A Motorhome with a toad. Talking with others here, they did as well. So do not worry about getting in. There are two lanes and no barriers. They do curve, but not an issue. Plenty of room to get through the gate. Just follow the directions on this page and no problem Next, the setting is tall ones and forested. Very pretty and a break from the urbaness of the surrounding city. That said, the roads are somewhat narrow but very navigatable. They seem to put all the bigger rigs in the FHU upper loop, sites 20-37. These are all back in sites. Not very level. We had to use blocks under the tires and jacks. Many of the sites have rear sewer that is up hill! Kind of a pain but very workable with some patience. There are lots of trees, but we and others we spoke with had no issues with needing to trim. The sites looked like they had been tended for foliage. Each site has a picnic table and grill. There is very limited connectivity in the upper loop. No way you will get any satellite with all the trees. There is no cable. We did get some local OTA channels, but not all the major ones. Some sites might be better than others. We had good usable Verizon coverage for both voice and data. Their wi-if is pretty much useless. You can only get it at the office, where the router is, and sometimes at the clubhouse,which is nearby. We have a WiFi booster and could not even pick it up. There are no repeaters in the Park, and the bandwidth up and don is in the single digits. Not an issue if you are here just camping. - Magnum34

Great location by American Lake. Tent and RV camping. RVers need to make reservations early as this park stays full. Larger RVs fit well on "C" row but might have issues by the water on "A" row or in short spaces on "B" row. "A" row has the best view and access to the beach and river but, you have everyone and their dogs walking thru your camp area. The goose poop around the "A" row area is something else to put up with. Community satellite dishes for DirectTV and Dish are available at most sites but not a guarantee. Tree coverage limits satellite reception at most sites. Mostly level gravel sites with grassy areas, picnic tables and fire rings. Nice place to stay. We stayed here in a 43' motorhome. Recommend taking exit 122 off I-5 for easy access. - RPM-Traveler

Glad we called for reservations, even for 1 night. Great CG right on American Lake. Our site was right on the water, but there are also many ducks and geese, which leave many 'land mines' in the grass at water's edge. Sites seem to be reasonably level, ours required no blocks. Plenty of room for trailer and tow vehicle. Didn't see all the sites, but very happy with ours. Beach area sites are 'sunny', others are well shaded. - Nevada Nick

Tough to rate this park. The location on American Lake is beautiful and quiet with shade from huge trees. The view (if you're lucky enough to have one) can be lovely. Nice place to walk dogs (on leash only). The sites are a mix of good to bad. The back row up on the hill has 50 amp, the other sites have 30 amp (although the office person who made our reservation said there was 30 amp only). There were only four 5th wheels in the park which tells us those with 5th wheels probably avoid it. We have a 38' 5th wheel and will not return unless we can get on the back row (C sites) or Site A-1 because the others are just too hard to back into. Most of the other sites are too short for big rigs, but a Class A can just manage to fit if they aren't huge. Our 5th wheel stuck out in the road a little and another 5th wheel toyhauler stuck out at least 5 feet. The A and B row sites are too close together. If you can back your rig close enough to the hook-ups you can either park your car next to your RV or you can use your awning and picnic table. One or the other, not both. We could do neither because our site was so hard to get into we couldn't get right up to the hook-ups. We didn't have enough room on either side to put the picnic table or our truck. Our side view was of an old Class C in poor condition. The sites are a mix of fairly level to very unlevel, all gravel and not kept up well. Rows A and B are like being in a gravel parking lot. If you come in on a weekend you can pay by check or cash and leave it in a dropbox. On weekdays you have to hunt for the office in Bldg 16 which is in the coffee shop/credit union building with no number on it. The laundry is clean with 2 household-size washers and dryers but no coin machine. The primitive campsites are at the opposite end of the campground from the bathrooms, an convenient walk. At $16 per day it was a good deal but not good enough for us to return unless we got a decent site. - all4pets

Very nice park. JBLM is a huge military base and has just about everything you would need. The RV Park is great with lots of privacy and space between each site with nature in between. It is clean, quiet, and just plain appealing. There is I-5 road noise but it is a like a constant hum from tires on the road that you don't hear after a while. The utilities are well placed and worked just fine. The roads and sites are asphalt and they are each tucked into their own little space. There is no Wifi. I always take a point off for lack of Wifi. I believe in todays world Wifi should be available - period. You can book at this RV park with complete confidence. - jomark

The combined Ft Lewis-McChord base is very large, so make sure you have good driving directions to this RV Park. There is also RV parking in the McChord portion of the base and at the National Guard base. This one is Ft Lewis-North. Even though I specified that my rig was a 32' Motorhome, they had assigned me a pull-thru spot made for a 19' maximum unit. However, I was able to wiggle my way in. This park is very convenient to I-5 and is about 20 minutes south of Tacoma. Of course, you also have the convenience of one of the largest commissaries I've ever been in and the new "Big BX" is under construction right now. My spot was full hook-up. Cable TV is offered but I never could get it to work on my TV's for some reason. It was ok, we usually watch Roku anyway. I would definitely stay here again! - Steve Lewis

Very convenient to I-5, Tacoma, Seattle,& other scenic sites. The setting is on American Lake which is a beautiful and sometimes busy lake. A great camp host assisted us with getting CATV connected, which was good because with all the overgrown trees there is no way we could have gotten satellite service! Our pull thru site was very long and spacious. The office staff was very helpful. That is as positive as I can get. Trees, brush, weeds are completely out of control. Bring some shears to cut the blackberry bushes back from your site. Laundry was barely tolerable. The washers had not been cleaned and made you feel that you needed to run a clorox rinse before you put your clothes in. In the middle of my drying cycle, while I was waiting outside, the cleaning crew came in and blocked the door with furniture and and "closed" sign for cleaning! The bathrooms were clean, but the lounge and laundry could use some attention. Do not reserve a lake front site expecting privacy. Especially site # 301, which appears to be a nice, long, pull thru lake front site seems to be the public access for the entire park to the lake. Adults, children, dogs, bikes are constantly going between, thru, around and sometimes OVER you to get to the water. PILES of chairs, floats, trash, dog and goose poop everywhere. While there is suppose to be no swimming except across the lake in designated swim area, that is not enforced. Nor are there any signs or attempts to make a public walkway if this is indeed not included with the site. NOISY party boats with music blasting and what appeared to be "over served" partiers very loud on the lake at times. On top of that row 300 is a one way "path" with all the sites facing away from the lake with hookups on the lake side and your door facing the street! I did notice a large number of what appeared to be full time, active duty homesteading there, even though a 2 week limit is stated. Totally needs some decent management!! - Gypsy Duo

Park continues to not be taken care of. Weeds and trash everywhere. Asked desk clerk about a problem with a site and she said (without prompting) that she had only been in the park once on the day she started!! Stay there every summer on our way to Oak Harbor, WA., and it just seems to get worse every year. Camp night time host was out with a weed wacker but one person can't be expected to make any difference with that mess. - Jim DR

Stayed 2 nites. Park in general was pretty neat. RV part was the tightest we have ever had. Site was long, but for sure with our slides out we had at best 12" on either side between rigs. 99% of RV seemed to be long term. The water connection is extremely low in the ground. - Jhl

Rv park is in a converted mobile home park and is set up as a transient park where most people are returned snowbirds or live and work out of there. The sewer smell permeates the air throughout the park. The wifi wasnt strong enough so had to come sit on a bench by the pool to work on my tablet. Traffic is so congested it is so hard to enter or leave the park. I'll never come back - Sarge936

This park is no way worth the price, we ended up paying $56.18 a night and that included the Good Sam discount plus tax. They do not have weekly rates. The sites are not very wide you are stacked in pretty tight. There needs to be more gravel in each site. There was notices being put out that people needed to pick up after their dogs and that was a fact. We had one more night to stay for our week but on that day a truck came in and starting spraying each site from front to back and side to side with roundup week killer and they didn't care if it got on your water hose or cables this is not a good practice that stuff can be dangerous we have a little dog and certainly didn't want him to get sick or us. When we complained to the office all they would say is well we have never had a problem before so no help there. It basically fell on deaf ears. We were so upset over this practice we up and left that day before they could spray our site. We lost one night of money but for safety reasons it was worth it. Never will we stay there again and do not recommend this park at all. This park is mostly full time residents which for the most park of very nice. - roamer3

We stayed 2 nights to visit nearby national park locations. The park is located downtown so it requires maneuvering congested city streets. There is a campground host that you check in with when you arrive. Sites are not assigned and check out time is 5PM! So finding a site is hit or miss depending on what is vacant when you arrive. Just after unhooking our towed, a grounds worker using a string trimmer broke out the rear window on the towed throwing rocks. He continued throwing rocks while working around the grounds and parked RV's. While the State's insurance provider paid for the damage, it took about a month to get the check. The interior roads are gravel. The interior roads and turns are sufficient to maneuver larger RV's. There are less than 10 pull thru sites. Everything else is back in. The P/T sites were long enough to stay connected to a toad. Sites had sufficient room for opening slides unless the sites are full. As this is an open field, the field is subject to swells and dips so it is difficult to find a flat and level site. They have full hook ups - water, electricity (50/30/20 AMP), & sewer. The utility connections were at the end of the back in sites and towards the middle of the P/T sites. But the P/T sites required running the water hose under the RV to make a connection. The sewer connection fitting was at about ground level so establishing a downhill flow is dependent on the discharge point. When the sites are full, there is no space between the sites. Stay limitation is subject to the State's discretion. There are some tall trees along one of the park's borders that could interfere with satellite reception depending upon site and dish configuration. No cable. No park information provided so don't know about OTA broadcast channels as we didn't try to get any broadcast channels. No park provided WiFi. Our Verizon WiFi hotspot worked well. Didn't try the NET10 phone so don't know about reception. Stay requires reservations made ahead of time with the Fairgrounds office. - bsb814

It's a fair ground - for what it is - it was great. Perfect location to explore Mt. Rainier and Seattle. Trains run into Seattle so you can avoid the traffic and parking hassle. Train station very close - you can hear the trains outside but not in the RV. Lots of area to walk your dog. Blackberries are abundant and easily picked - delicious! - dreger
Jul 2018 - $30.00
As others have noted, it just a grass field with hook-ups. When we checked in, and we were guided to our site. All the connections are at the back of the site, and it took about 25 feet of sewer hose, FYI. Satellite and OTA TV worked well, as did our AT&T cell phones and hot spots. The site was wide enough that we could park our Jeep next to the RV. The price is, good, for the area, and we would stay here again. - Bbtj

This park has a small salt water beach access area. Lots of trails with some of them providing a good workout. Bring lots of leveling blocks as most of the site are not very level. Water, electric, and sewer infrastructure is in very good shape. Verizon wireless signal level was strong enough to provide internet and phone. This is an older park right in a residential area but your really wouldn't know it. - hoppers4
May 2017 - $40.00
Older park in somewhat rundown condition. As others have said... windy narrow access is not big rig friendly. Lots of "campers" in small tents and autos. First park in 3 years we have felt strangely unsafe. No campground host presence, even though there's a 5th wheel parked in the host spot. He is never "on duty". Bathrooms/showerhouses are being worked on and maybe in the future they will be acceptable. Unlike other campgrounds we have stayed at all across the country, we did not meet any other campers while here. Everybody pretty much keeps to themselves. It is quiet. The traffic around here is terrible with windy roads and aggressive drivers. Not likely to stay here again. - raytwntrvlr
Sep 2016 - $45.00
Except for bath/shower bldg, which was cleaned daily, this campground is not well maintained. Sites are small; large rigs had significant trouble navigating the curved roads & trees (this park works for modest-sized rigs); several rundown rigs were using the max 10-night stay; several feral (?) cats. Asphalt pads in disrepair. Thorny wild berry plants encroaching into site & long overdue for trimming. Lots of air traffic noise from nearby Sea-Tac airport. No garbage cans anywhere except at restroom. Beautiful path to Puget Sound shore. Not worth the fee & hassle of the required online reservation procedure. - Taco stand

This place is terribly managed. A tree that was rotten fell in our campsite almost crushing a dog and crushed our chair. They offered 12.95 refund, then the manager refused to give it after I patiently waited for them to process the refund that never happened, saying I waited too long (2 1/2 weeks). She was rude and very unprofessional. I do not recommend staying here. Poorly maintained and the artillery fire all through the night is just great also. - Michelle Reynolds
May 2019 - $49.00
We found this park pleasant, not super private, but there lots of recent structural upgrades. Nice play structures for kids and open fenced areas for kids and pets to exercise. The river is very close with lots of access and the fishing looked good. This park was clean and there were trash cans conveniently placed throughout the park. There is a train, about a 1000 feet through the trees, that rumbles by every now and then but it did not affect our stay. It appears to have some permanent guests, traveling Rv guests and some great tent sites. Would stay here again. - Ginja Ninja
Sep 2018 - $45.00
I would like to start by saying that the grounds are nice and if you are a fisher person this would probably be a great place for you. You might ask why then would I give them only one star in my review. Here you go.... 1) Speed limit in the park is a joke, it is supposed to be 10 MPH but people are going double and triple that. Small children and pets are not safe here! 2) The park is geared towards permanent residents not short term guests. There are only 4 short term sites with full hookups and they all are directly across from a very loud children's playground and right next to the main road (that everyone speeds down). I do mean right next to it, the end our our rig was within 2 feet of the road. 3) There are trains running right by the campground constantly day and night. 4) If you want to sleep don't plan on it here. In addition to the trains, and fishermen speeding past your rig starting about 5am. There are roosters that start in well before dawn. We were supposed to stay 2 nights but forfeited our 2nd night (because they have an absolute no return policy no matter how bad your stay is)!! This place needs security patrols to ensure safe speeds are maintained and to care a bit more about their campers than the random fishermen they allow in for day use. - Fran_Dawn

We made reservations for this park with 50 amp full hook up. When we got there a young man put us in site 5. We did not check before setting up but the electric was only 30 amp. When we went back to the office there was an older man and he said he did not have a 50 amp available. When we said that we had made reservations for 50 amp he became very abusive and told me to get my rig out of his campground. This campground sits just below the freeway and is jam in with maybe a 5 ft space between campers. I would not recommend this place to my worse enemy. - possumtrotky

Reviewed this park back in September 2011. Nothing changed. Road noise is still bad. Verizon is 4 bars. We stay here each year because it is convenient to I-5 and the surrounding area. We always get "B" because it has 50 amp with full hookups. Staying here for a week this time. We will return. - Bluebird Bob
Sep 2011 - $25.00
We are staying here for a week. It is right by Hwy 5 and you sure can hear the traffic! The location is great for an off the road overnight stop. It is mainly filled with long term people but they do have some empties for overnights. The water pressure is around 50 psi without having to use a reducer. Most sites have 30 amp but we are in "B" with 50 amp service. Not much to choose from in the area so an OK spot for a few days. Would stay here again if passing through. - Bluebird Bob
