What a great recreation center! Parts of it are outdated like the entrance and check-in area to the…read morepool, but overall, it's an excellent recreational center. Here's why. 1) Indoor Pool: The indoor pool is kept clean and is pretty big with half of the pool shallow for kids to play in with splash areas and a water slide. The other half is laned for adults to swim. There are always lifeguards there and the space provides life jackets for kids and adults if needed. There are changing rooms with lockers too. 2) Amenities: Inside is a gym with treadmills, weights, and more, and other rooms for classes, etc. With a permit, you can rent their multi-purpose room for birthday parties and it comes with a small kitchen connected to the room. Inside are murals of the neighborhood by local artists. Outside is a field, a rocket ship-themed playground, a statue of a dap, and a field. 3) Parking: Free street parking is easy to find just outside the rec center. 4) Staff: I always find the staff to be friendly and reasonable. They are great!

I've been twice to use the gym, and I must say it's pretty decent. I'm a little hesitant to post…read morethat here because I don't want it to get too crowded, but it has everything I need for good workout. 3 treadmills, an eliptical (maybe 2), free weights, kettle bells, a bench and one of those weight machines that has lat pull downs and like 3 other machines in one. Also full length mirrors and good lighting so the gym selfies are always popping. My friends go to the indoor pool and they love it and when I pooped my head inside the gym, it looks pretty nice too. The facilities are super clean and the staff (that I've encountered) is really nice. They've really done a nice job updating this center. It's also free with a dc license so enjoy your tax dollars at work!

It's hard to give this place a really good or really bad review…read more The good: Although at the edge of a section of the golf course, not that far from the runway, and near a busy road that's just off the base, it is surprisingly quiet. The camp host is around if needed. The neighbors have always been pretty quiet during our stays, no loud parties are a plus in my book. There's a couple of coin-op laundry machines, a microwave, a large sink, and group room in the main building near the entrance; as well as a bathhouse (shower and restroom building) that's fairly centrally located in the midst of the camp area. The dump stations are near the bathhouse and folks using it don't seem to dwaddle. Most of the sites are fairly level. The cost isn't insane for the national capital region. There's a metro stop (Branch Ave station), with parking and a drop off (kiss and ride) about a mile and a half away from the front gate which is useful if you're heading into the city. The bad: It's near the golf course and the course is off limits which creates a challenge for walking or hiking nearby. If you're in the electric only area, the spaces are pretty close together and on gravel vs concrete pads. The shower and restroom facilities could really use an update/overhaul as they are dated and the layout of the shower area, at least in the ladies side, is a bit odd in that you leave your stuff in a separate stall that's not connected to your shower stall. It's a little pricey ($30-45 per night) for what you might find compared to some other similar government run facilities in the surrounding area. Other: The office isn't on-site, it's about a mile away at the Outdoor Rec center which seems to only be open on weekdays, so far I haven't been successful in creating an online reservation which is definitely my preference. Recommend calling or visiting in person to make reservations, also you'll need to check in at Outdoor Rec to get your parking pass. We've stayed several times over the past year for a few nights at a time and will again if needed.

I am no newcomer to military campgrounds, having used them since 1982. I have stayed at over three…read moredozen different ones, Army, Navy and Air Force. This one is the worst, by far. The first thing I saw when entering the Famcamp was an overflowing dumpster; grossly overflowing. After setting up, our first trip is to the bathhouse. My wife informed me the ladies room was disgusting, and there was only one roll of toilet paper in the entire restroom. That was one more than in the men's room. The men's room also has more than half of the light fixtures inoperable (which did imrove the appearance). The grounds are also lacking basic maintenance, with trash and broken limbs lying about in various places. There is evidence of past improvements, such as concrete pads for the sites. It appears that the current leadership for the Famcamp has no interest in maintaining it.
