You see, the Patrick AFB FamCamp is a "VERY POORLY" managed RV park when compared to the other parks we have stayed in. It seems they can't figure out how to manage the 120 sites, which is utterly amazing since it doesn't take a rocket scientist to manage the parking for the small number of RVs.
This FamCamp has "chosen" to NOT take reservations…NONE AT ALL, so you when you check in here, you are given what's available. The sites range from a Full Hookup (30amp), Full Hookup (50amp), Partial Hookup (50amp and water), and OverFlow (electric only). During the off season time (May to November), the park is relatively empty (or at least they seem to have open slots). At this time, you "get what you get so don't throw a fit!" If a full hookup is open, you get it for the duration of your visit.
However, during High Season (read this a SnowBird time) which is from Late November to Early Spring (say…around late March to early April), the park is FULL! During this time, the FamCamp has chosen to implement a rotation policy making sure everyone gets an opportunity to get some time in a Partial or Full Hookup slot. So…after you have been in your Partial or Full slot for 30 days, you have to move into "low rent district" for a period of time. At this point, you make a decision to go on a waiting list for EITHER Partial or Full hookups. Depending on the list, you may find yourself spending up to a few weeks in the the OverFlow area until you get to move.
While we were just in a FULL hookup slot, we have decided to put our name on the Partial waiting list (since there are only a few people on this list) and therefore will only have to spend a few days vs weeks in OverFlow!
So…we had to pickup our
