For Holloman AFB FamCamp: Like others, we read reviews before stopping somewhere. As we are traveling via motorcycles this time so some of the comments concerning the gates did not effect us, but are true. If you have a larger RV or trailer, use the commercial gate. As for the FAMCAMP proper, it is one of the cleanest and well kept we’ve seen. I understand MWR budget issues and they have taken their toll on FAMCAMPS Throughout DoD. This one has done very well in spite of dwindling budgets. On the personnel side, Lorie, the manager/host was outstandingly accommodating to us and very friendly. We spent quite a bit of time talking with her. Other reviewers have mentioned the long term nature of some of the residents here. For the most part, the areas are well kept, you can tell they have been here awhile but with the housing shortage in the area coupled with the nature of the training centers located on HAFB it’s completely understandable. It’s my personal opinion that in this area the FAMCAMP is providing a great service helping the base populace overcome housing issues. The longer term people showed us a sense of community that you rarely see in housing anymore. We were greeted by and got to know quite a few in our short three day stay, this is yet another asset to this FAMCAMP. The above comments are what garnered the 5 stars. The grounds are spars, but this is the desert so it is what it is. The buildings are older but well kept with newer bathroom fixtures and very clean. Some of the laundry machines were broken, but we understand new units are awaiting installation. An outdoor common area would be a great addition, as we’ve seen at other FAMCAMP facilities. When in the area again, we will definitely be stopping in.

For Holloman AFB FamCamp: We came to Alamogordo to go to Three Rivers Petroglyphs site and Cloudcroft, both of which we recommend. We found the family camp to be shipshape with large concrete pads for the pull throughs and a registration office personed by a very friendly Lorie. Though the camp is next to Highway 54, night traffic is light and we were not disturbed. Big rigs should plan to arrive at the west commercial gate between 6-6 weekdays as the previous reviewers’ comments about the main gate narrow lanes are true. Turn right on Mesquite and follow it to the camp. You can exit the main gate with a big rig, no problem. The annoying COVID requirement of obtaining a health letter if you have not been in New Mexico at least 14 days continues. This process took us two hours. If the commander continues to insist on this, the process should be streamlined. We were only asked our names, length of stay and last stop for the letter so I would think the Welcome Center should be able to handle this.

For Holloman AFB FamCamp: Didn’t even make it on base! We were told to enter we would need a letter from the Health Department verifying we were not a COVID risk. I’ll be so glad when this mess is over. Call before you go to see if this policy was only temporary.

For Holloman AFB FamCamp: Arrived on a Saturday afternoon, after being told that they were first come first served, and that they usually had a couple sites open every night, we arrived to find that over 75% of the park is "Full Time". I was under the impression that the longest stay was 30 days, but obviously everyone on Holloman has received a waiver for that.
Other then that, be careful on the way in the main gate (only one open on the weekend) as they have concrete 1' high curbs to control the lanes. I made it thru towing a 41' fifth wheel, but you need to be careful and watch yourself. Also, take the literally FIRST LEFT, even though it looks like it goes to a housing area (it does) and follow the small "Fam Camp" signs. Good luck.
