Those of you who are active duty or U.S. armed forces veterans are entitled to an extra benefit: stays at military RV parks.
RV Life has posted an article on the ten best military RV parks in the U.S.
I had actually stayed at one of them on the list. It was two years ago immediately following my heart attack in Wells, Nevada and having two stents put in a coronary artery. Mitch Geriminsky and I headed out of Twin Falls, Idaho after I was discharged from the hospital and headed to his home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He did most of the driving of The Beast on that trip back to give me a chance to rest.
En route, we stayed one night at the Desert Eagle RV Park in Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas, since Mitch is retired from the Air Force. It was a nice RV park, so I can easily see why it is included in the RV Life list.
They begin their article with:
Military RV parks are just what you would think. They are generally open to military retirees or their dependents, an active duty service member or spouse, a national Guard or Reservist or minor dependent, or a disabled veteran. Surviving family members of service members killed in action who have access to other benefits like healthcare, and medical retirees and their families also qualify.
Some parks allow retired Defense Department civilian workers or guests of ID cardholders. The base commander sets the rules at each park.
Some military RV parks allow civilians. If the park is physically located on the base, you will need a military ID or be escorted by someone who has one.
