Affordable. Utilities worked fine. Spacious concrete pads. Wi-Fi was superb (unlike the majority of RV parks). T-Mobile 5G was blazing fast (300Mbps+). Nearby walking paths. Close to the dining hall and other resources.
I am enjoying my time at the McConnell AFB FamCamp. The cooler weather makes this part of base a beautiful and peaceful paradise. The people at Outdoor Recreation help to keep the area clean and inviting, with nice activities to pass time during a stay. I prefer taking long walks and enjoy the quietness that nature provides, so I cannot comment on other activities that I know McConnell Outdoor Recreation offers to it's guests or base personnel.
McConnell AFB FamCamp I
There are 10 pull through spaces in FamCamp I, full hookups, picnic table and fire pit at each pad. No problem with 30 amp hookup for the week we were here. There is a run/walking path, fishing ponds, lots of space and pavilions in this tucked away oasis near the Outdoor Rec Office. Occasionally a refueler comes or goes from the runway but I was surprised by how noise level was low. I enjoyed watching the big birds do touch and go. The facilities are easy to access. The Dining Facility is great and open to all. We loved it here during our week visiting family on Wichita. Lovely setting and peaceful, well maintained site.
We were in Fam Camp 2 which has electric and water but you have to use a central dump site and you have to travel about a mile to Fam Camp 1 to shower, use the restroom and laundry. Fam Camp 1 has full hook ups. The sites are easy to back into and level. Shade trees are behind Fam Camp 2 sites with picnic tables and charcoal grills. Stop at Outdoor Rec (up road 1/2 mile) when checking in. PX, Commissary and gas statiin/BX is approx 1 mile up road before campground. Gym is in bldg with ITT and other support offices near PX. Tornado bunkers are positioned near fam camps. Fam camps are located on the old golf course on the south east area of base. Site 19 does not have water hook ups and can share closer sites.
