Fairchild AFB

Military Washington

Visited May 2008

Fairchild AFB mantains a pleasant little FAMCAMP on base. It has 32 sites, some shaded, some sunny. Note that use is restricted to military personnel only.

We were met by Host Glen as we pulled into the FAMCAMP at noontime on the last Friday of May. Plenty of sites to choose from; we picked site 1, since it offered a little shade.

Our only downside observation was the length of the grass. But Gary was working on that - the base just needs to get him a bigger mower.

Sites 25 - 32. The host's site, 25, is the first you see as you enter the campground. Sites 17-32 offer 50A hookups.

Sites 17-24. Lots more sun here, although they have planted some young trees which will offer some shade in a few years.

Several crows were hanging around the tree over our campsite, making quite a raucus ruckus. We finally spotted this owl, at whom the crows were squawking.
