I guess it all depends what you are looking for . We did not enjoy our stay at this FamCamp for a few reasons. We arrived on a Friday evening after the office closed and the camp host was unable to provide the cable box which is required to get cable TV. The cost of this camp is around $33 which is high--I assume to cover the cost of the cable because it was regular cable TV like you have at home. However, we only stayed 3 nights and 2 nights had no cable box--the 3rd night we were too busy packing up to figure out how to hook it up so we never even used it. Another reason we didn't enjoy this camp is it is so remote from town and most everything on the base was closed on the weekends. We tried to use the TV in the very nice club room but even with the help of some fellow campers, we were unable to get anything on the TV so we just went to bed. The site was as nice as could be expected in an arid setting--gravel and level. Our site had a row of tall trees behind which blocked the hot sun nicely and we could watch the sunset in the evenings. There is a tiny bowling alley that was open on weekends if you like that--it had three lanes and a snack bar and grill. Thirdly, there just wasn't much to do in Yuma. The FamCamp facilities were in good order (as far as the hookups--I never saw the showers and rest rooms/dog park if there was one). There was a nice park in the center of the base. Most of the restaurants were closed for the weekend. This stop was a bust for us.

Add a star if you like friendly folks. There wasn't a person in the campground who didn't wave and greet/acknowledge us.
I thought the cost was high for a military campground. Most are $15-$20 a night. Desert Breeze was $30. Their rules were contradictory and burdensome. They wrote that no feeding of wildlife, including birds, was allowed. On the next line they said hummingbird feeders were ok. Rules talk about fines and evictions.
Signage on the base is poor. Visitors were told where NOT to park, but not where they COULD park. The clerk directed us to drive the wrong way to get to our assigned site.
Sewer hookup was elevated ("stuff" flows downhill . . . literally). There were no trees. There was no picnic table. The campground is 20 miles outside of town and further from area attractions. WiFi was a hit or miss affair. It sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

I was advised by the camp that they only take fully self-contained RVs (toilet).

A good way to weed out the riffraff retirees.
