Our Rating: BAD –5
There’s a reason they test aircraft at Edwards AFB – if the aircraft falls out of the sky, there’s nothing but dirt and creosote bush to hit. After leaving the little town of
Rosemond, you drive a few miles to the sign that marks the beginning of the base. 12 miles later of lunar landscape brings you to the gate – then another 10 miles or so finally brings you to the base itself. The Famcamp is a self check-in, dusty area not far from the BX complex. Most sites are 30A only (great for the A/C out here in the desert), with a few 50A if you’re lucky. No Verizon cell or Aircard, limited dining (basically the BX food court and the bowling alley), but quiet at night. Mediocre museum at the base entrance, but a good NASA one farther down the flight line. Some interesting aircraft to watch during the day,and the $15/day cost is attractive, but once you’ve been here, you won’t want to come back. Say a prayer for the poor people who have to live here. Military or DoD ID required. Edwards AFB Famcamp
