The ten new sites are just off the main road past the gas station - very easy to find. Checking in on a weekend, however, is just about impossible. The main MWR office is closed weekends, and nobody else we could find knew anything about the sites. We ended up picking a site and paying on Monday morning as we left. Date of visit: Nov 2006 |
 |
A view looking down the road through the new sites, five on each side. Nice and open terrain makes for easy satellite set-up. |

The
obligatory shot of our rig on site #12 in Nov 2006. |
 |
Three years later, in 2009, also in November, we were on site #11. We were lucky - this was the last site available, thanks to a last-minute cancellation.. |
 |
These are the
four original sites, located a short ways behind the gas station.
A small shed offers a washer and dryer. No bathhouse that we could
see. |
 |
In a
grove behind the 4 sites is a playground and large old foundation
of a warehouse with two large picnic pavilions. |
 |
Just
to remind us of what it's all about: some of the C-130's assigned to the
field. |
 |
There's a nice exhibit of some old Coast Guard aircraft out by the front gate. |
 |
Don't
have an RV? You can rent a cottage right at the water's edge. |
 |
Just
a short walk from the new sites is a very nice beach. |
 |
If you
bring your boat along, you'll find a dual-ramp boat launch. |

On weekends, the gym is supposed to handle site rentals, but when we asked them on a Sunday, they knew nothing. There is a small Exchange not far from the FAMCAMP - we didn't get to check it out, for it was closed on the Sunday we arrived. At the gas station is a fairly large convenience store. |

Elizabeth City CG, NC
The Coast Guard has invested a bit in the FAMCAMP facilities at Elizabeth City. We were here back in 1997, when there were only 4 gravel sites available. Since then, 10 paved sites with full E/W/S hookups have been added closer to the river.
