For El Centro NAF Campground: Great little base with a fantastic mission, watching the Blue Angels winter practice. We missed the full air show by a week but that’s OK. Plenty loud enough. Local base facilities were plenty sufficient. Lounge was a nice feature. Dog park as well, but no longer divided into Large/small dogs. Made for a long park that you can really hurl some tennis balls.
Almost a 5-Star, but our spot was directly across from water tower being sand blasted. Air show noise is one thing, but constant motor of a sand blast was rough. No warning on check in and plenty of spots open farther away still in dog friendly area.

For El Centro NAF Campground: The sites are level with concrete and gravel. The lounge had a great assortment of books to borrow or lend. There are 2 dog parks (small and large dogs). The large dog park had shade over a doggie water fountain. They also have an awesome dog wash! Obviously I have dogs. The commissary is small but surprisingly carries a large selection of foods. The price is right and the air show is awesome!

For El Centro NAF Campground: Comfortable campground, concrete slab sites, laundry room in bathhouse. We arrived on a Saturday, no camp host, found an MWR office at the Exchange to get paperwork, picked a site and moved in. This is the winter training ground for the Blue Angels so if you like air shows you will love it here! Practiced all afternoon, loud but fun to watch! Quiet at night, friendly neighbors. Didn’t give it five stars because of the difficulty in checking in and the men’s shower had very little temperature control on the water. Stayed two nights. Two bars on AT&T.

For El Centro NAF Campground: Stopped here for one night on our way West. Great support from the Camp Host upon arrival on the weekend. Our RV pad was slightly lower in grade than the surrounding dirt area. It didn’t rain the one day we were there but I could see how the pad could become muddy if it does rain. There is free ice at the park and a free car/RV wash just outside the park. The base has all the usual amenities. Only three stars because it’s a plain-Jane park but the price is right and I would return.

For El Centro NAF Campground: The guy that runs the place has the personality of a bent trash can. Put me in a spot I could barely back into. Come to find out the good spots are south of the old grounds. Was going to stay for 14 but left the following day.
