The campground has full hookup at all sites including water, sewer, and electric. The electricity is available in 30 amp and 20 amp outlets. Each site has an asphalt pad, charcoal grill, and picnic table. The campground is hilly however, most sites are level. If you need a level site make sure to call the campground and confirm site details with them.
The entrance is flat and leads to the campground office. You’ll experience that the road surface needs to be repaired. The conditions inside the park don’t get much better. After the campground office the drive descends and turns left. Long rigs will probably feel uncomfortable making this drive. You’ll notice here that there is significant erosion and the asphalt is breaking down and close to its useful life. The pull through sites are long however, and some did accommodate rigs longer than ours. We fit well in our back-in site with our 35’ class A and full size truck and we are thankful that our site entrance was flat and easy to get into.
We were happy with the bathrooms. Make sure you remember the code from check in to get into them. I had to ask another camper for the code the first time I visited. The bathrooms are located at the campground office.. The yellow colored stalls, rust colored flooring, and ceramic tile are clean and the high ceilings offer a sense of space. The showers, sinks, and toilets all work well and are in good condition. Laundry is also available.
One of the best features of the campground is its location near the museum. With our back-in site we had to unhook the truck to park. When we were ready to leave we drove the RV and truck over to the museum parking lot and hooked up there while waiting for the museum to open. The parking lot provided for all the space and time we needed to hook up. When we were done touring the museum we pulled out in a few minutes and were on our way. The close proximity provided a care-free morning and we were inside the museum when they opened.
The day we took the video was wet and the campground was not in its best condition. I expect sunnier days would offer a much better experience. We were impressed by the amount of lawn available throughout the park and especially at the entrance. There is plenty of room to walk dogs, play soccer, or other sports and spread out. Up by the entrance we noticed people did not pick up after their dogs, even though dog waste bags are available in the campground. There are many areas in the campground with full sun. The trees in the park are large and offer a lot of shade. They provide a forest feel and really help you escape from the urban environment and museum campus.
Unique to the campground is a rocket launching site adjacent to the RV park. If you are lucky you may see some launches as part of the space camp program from your RV. The campground and on-site hotel were built to provide lodging for space camp families needing a place to stay. The park is within walking distance of Space Camp and the museum. New in 2023 is the upgraded space camp experience with a brand new 40,000 sq foot Operations Center building. Have you ever wanted to be an astronaut or attend space camp? Did you know in addition to the grade school program they also have camp for adults?
