Park Your RV on Post
Did you know that many military bases have RV campgrounds?
I don’t own an RV, but I know many military families who do, or who have relatives who visit them in RVs. You can find military RV campgrounds all over the U.S., and their rates are reasonable. Some RV campgrounds also offer long-term RV storage.
For example, the Navy Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., has an RV campground at Monterey Pines Recreation Complex. RV camping costs $24 - $31 per night for a full hook-up site. KOA’s Santa Cruz-Monterey Bay campground charges $69 - $81 per night, depending on the season, for a “standard” (back-in), full hook-up site, and it’s not even in Monterey.
When you stay at a military RV campground, you’ll be able to save even more money by buying your groceries at the commissary, and there could be a pool or on-base military theater nearby.
If you’re planning an RV trip, don’t forget to check out the Army and Navy MWR lists of RV campgrounds. You’ll be glad you did.
