Being retired military, we always like staying at FamCamps when possible, as it gives us access to commissary, BX, and medical facilities and we can be assured of a nice, clean park. Hill FamCamp was no exception. It's a good central location for visiting the Salt Lake City sights. Only complaint (if you want to call it that) is having to come in and depart through a gate that is the complete opposite side of the park location itself. Also, the camp host was rarely available and when gone, he never left reservation info with his alternate. We had come in a day early and he had no idea where we were going to be assigned and check whether it was open then. Other than that, it was a great experience. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have been here two days and will be staying 14. First of all, I'm grateful that military bases provide an RV park for retired veterans! They don't have to! And for $14, if you receive full benefits, you have an excellent rec center across the street, a running track and field next to the RV park, a comfortable library with free WiFi and comfy chairs or private desks! The commissary, BX, bank, ATM, everything you need is within walking distance! I'm thrilled that I can use these parks - compared to what an RV "resort" would charge for the same services! And the location and scenery are wonderful. Howard was very gracious to us as was his assistant. So what if the hookups are a little awkward in some spots or the track light stay on late? If you don't like it, the commercial RV parks will gladly take your money!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a military installation based campground (must be a military I.D. card holder to stay there). Mixed emotions on this famcamp. Positives are: The base itself is very well kept; the famcamp is located very close to the base's world-class gym, the medical clinic, a nice grassy park, and relatively close to the BX. Negatives are: Must use the very northern most base gate (Roy Gate) to enter the installation with an RV, this is 8 miles north of the famcamp; many of the sites have water hookup detached from the electric hookup in that the water hookup on our site was on the wrong side of the coach which necessitated hooking 2 hoses together; telephone contact with the camp manager is a nightmare, screwy office hours/days, non-returned phone calls etc, best bet is to contact him via email (address listed on web site); campground manager is generally hard to deal with, we got the rubber hose treatment just asking for a site map (terrorism prevention you know); our site (spot 1) was a back in that took me 4 attempts to get in. Would stay again using the above info to make it easier. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here on July 4th weekend. All private campgrounds in the area were full. Of course, you must have a military ID card (active or retired) to stay here. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice this campground was. Very clean, quiet and not far to PX and commissary. We camped here in a Motorhome.
