Willow Pond RV Campground

I paid for this campground in advance. When I got there tonight with my 2 old dogs, I found that all but 2 of the sites (long term) were accessible. There were big icy mounds of snow that made it impossible to back into. It’s like they plowed the road through and that’s it. I tried calling 3 times to the “after hours” number but no one answered or called me back. I am now in a parking lot off base boondocking not by choice. I was told by base police that I am not allowed to stay overnight in any base parking lots. Outdoor recreation took my money and then left me and my dogs stranded in the middle of the night. Thanks!

All around good rv camping with a couple of caveats. The bathroom is not very well maintained and is in need of some general maintenance (e.g. broken toilet handles, broken toilet roll dispenser, shiny metal instead of mirrors). We showered at the field house (5 min drive) since we have a smaller camper and didn't want to fill the gray water tank. Also, spots back up to a main road that is highly trafficked by large army trucks all day long on the weekdays. This is an active base so it's to be expected, just a warning for others coming here. Willow Pond is beautiful with lots of wildlife and hungry large mouth bass in the mornings. Overall it's an ok rv campground and it's peaceful on the weekends.

Only 8 sites available with only 30A and water for $20/night for military/retired mil. There is a dump station on site. The gravel sites are level, all back in, and have a nice view of a grass area and a small lake. It looked like there was only one long term camper, and no host. The bathrooms were locked; not sure if they ever open. Although you have to do all the paperwork on line and email it in, they still make you drive over to Outdoor Rec to check in. The gas station on the Ft. Dix side closes each evening. If you need after hours fuel, drive over to the station on the McGuire side of the joint base.

A tad muddy when it rains and dump station is partially blocked by a dumpster, however, being on base and having electricity makes it a reasonable stay. Would be perfect for a few nights in the area with a trailer. Had to go through the commercial gate in a big class A and that was an experience.

Nice place, but not many amenities. Bathrooms closed, and the cell phone reception was not good. When it rains, it gets a bit muddy. You need a military id to access the base.
