Great FamCamp but the facilities are not maintained very often. Toilet paper is almost out.

Prices went up in august. Their website still says $20 a night. We called to make reservations and were told it would be $70.

We stayed in the New Fam Camp. Fabulous, big Concrete slabs. Every site has a seperate 10 X 10 slab with a picnic table. 2 Huge Handicap sites. Concrete from site to Utilities and Facilities building. Laundry, showers, and Toilet.This is a U.S.A.F.B52 Bomber Base. It also plays Reville,Retreat, & Taps. The only complaint we had the Laundry is to small. No Table or Hooks.

Stayed for two days. We found the Fam Camp to be quiet,green and clean. We stayed in the newer construction area. All pads in this area are pull through. Pads were level with 30/50 amps, water , and dump. Laundry had 3 washers and dryers. Showers were clean with hot water. WiFi and cell were good. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Visited the Barksdale FamCamp for 3 weeks in June/July 2018. The campground is soon to-be 2 sections; the current 42 sites (mostly back-in; first-come, first-serve) and 20 new sites (all pull-thru) which can be reserved in advance (likely to open in October).
The Good: Friendly, helpful staff; quiet location; nice main facility; paved sites; able to pick up plenty of TV stations on digital antenna. Wifi better than most other FamCamps. Close to large park if you have little ones; about 1 mile from Shoppette. Many sites are well-shaded.
The Not-so Good: About 9 spots are backwards (utility-wise). These spots are okay for small trailers (ability to back-out or turn around due to space), but doors face the neighbors. Laundry, a spacious facility is an odd-configuration. More dryers than washers, which is also shared with the "cabin" lodging; 12 single-wide trailers that are on the campground as well. Camp staff double-duty as linen exchange and use the FamCamp laundry facility for cabin linens, which can take hours to complete. Gravel road was a little rutted-out during our stay, but looks to be maintained periodically. The Shoppette mentioned above is tiny; Exchange/Commissary is 8 miles away. Limited activities nearby. A few folks that look entrenched with personal effects strewn about their sites.
For the soon to be open new camp sites, there looks to be standalone facility which will house shower rooms and laundry (3 washers/dryers). The new campsites is in a cleared area...no shade during hot summers. Overall, pretty happy about our experience and would recommend. We stayed in a 36' TT.

Came in to stay for a few days to explore Shreveport, but were disappointed in the Fam camp. Sites were messy and junky, and muddy. That camp mascot must be the mosquito, because there were millions of them. Obviously no spraying or eradicating is being done. The little camp store and bathroom are nothing to speak of. We decided to only stay one night and move on.

We came in with another rig but there was only one site available. They arranged for our friend to pull alongside us on the grass. The stanchion had a 50 and a 30 amp connection so we both had electric. A splitter on the spigot gave us both water. The Wifi was outstanding. The campsites are a little close but it is a pleasant campground nonetheless. A small snack bar sells beer, soda, and snacks. B-52 bombers screamed overhead until 11 p.m. but, hey, it's an Air Force Base.

Very nice cam site. Stayed only one night, but would have liked to stay longer. Staff is great, the gate closest to park was closed but on the phone they guided us in and got us parked

I lived here for a month and a half before buying a house. This FAMCAMP was quiet and secure, with a slow but ok wireless internet. I had a storm roll through and dropped branches on my brand new TT RV, puncturing it all the way through. I filed a claim for my insurance deductible, and they denied it. Just be aware of where you put your camper! The clubhouse was clean and had decent showers and a laundry room with washer and dryer that barely worked. I'd stay again, but it's not the greatest place to go.
