Military RV Camping

Currently we are staying at the Naval Post Graduate School RV Park in Monterey, California. We have stayed at many military RV parks all across the USA and have saved bucket-loads of money. If you are active duty military or a DOD employee or retired military or DOD you are already a member of one of the largest RV park clubs in the world. Among the benefits you have is the opportunity to stay and play at the many military camping parks known as "Family Camps" and use the many golf corses and abundant Morale Recreation and Welfare (MWR) facilities available to you. Almost all military bases have RV parks near the base. Many base MWR departments maintain RV parks away from the base at highly deseriable resort locations. A civilian company called "Military Living" publishes several great guides to military travel and recreation. Many of you are familiar with their "Space A" books but perhaps you are not familiar with their "Military RV, Camping & Outdoor Recreation" book. This Jewel gives you all the information (200 pages) you need to make reservations or get directions to these military family RV parks. You can purchase this book at the exchange or you can order it directly from the exchange by calling 1-800-527-2345 or you can log onto the AAFES website at www.AAFES.com You can also order it at www.militaryliving.com Happy camping!
