The Famcamp here at Ellsworth Air Force Base has thirty full hook-up spaces and room to comfortably FIT twenty two tent sites. Needless to say that during Sturgis Week the tent site area over flows and they somehow expand it to forty sites. I can’t wait to see this!
Right now there is construction going on here during the day building seven new pull thru sites. The thirty sites already in place are back-ins.
Ellsworth has plans of eventually putting in eighteen new sites, all pull thru’s. Pull thru’s are good news for the motorhomes with tow dollies on the back that tow their cars because you can’t (shouldn’t) back up with your car still attached.
Hopefully, these will be functional by mid-July.
We do seem to have one big problem with our time here. Somehow, someway, someone screwed up the grass cutting contract for the Famcamp. Instead of having it cut when it reaches a height of 4 to 6 inches the contract reads 10 – 12 inches. Yes, the grass here is a foot high! Or nearly so. Everyone complains to us about the high grass and we in turn complain to Outdoor Rec. Its getting us nowhere. Our next calls are going to have to go the Base Commander if we hope to get this rectified. In fact, there is a new Base Commander and there will be a base inspection coming up shortly so you can bet the grass will be cut even if its only 8 inches high. Do I need to tell you how bad the mosquitoes are with all the rain we’ve been having and tall grass that never completely dries out. It’s the perfect breeding ground. When it comes to this we are not happy campers!
