Our first stop after leaving Destin was to visit our nephew and his wife, Chase and Shelby. He is stationed at Pensacola NAS so we were able to stay at Oak Grove RV Park with his sponsorship.
We entered the base through the back gate via Blue Angel Parkway. Chase and Shelby met us at the gate to authorize our access to the base. Bruce just had to show the gate guard his ID (driver's license) and we allowed access to the base.
Oak Grove Park was about 2 miles down the road and we were greeted by a Camp Host as the office was closed. She was very helpful and informative, especially about the low hanging branches of the live oaks. We had pull-through site 7. The beach was a short walk from the park. We had already been to the museum and the lighthouse so did not do this again. We were mainly there to see Chase and Shelby before we left Florida. The Blue Angels were away so we didn't get to see them. That would have really made the stay A1!!
The only negative was each morning around 6 am, we had something hitting our roof over our bedroom. It lasted about 1 - 1 1/2 hours. I think it was a squirrel throwing down acorns then picking them up from the ground as we never saw anything on the ground that could have been hitting the roof making all that racket.
The airport was close so there were times it was noisy but there are Air Force squadrons here so we were not surprised and actually enjoyed it knowing my nephew was training in one of those planes. The sound of Freedom!
Park information:
Concrete pad with lots of live oak trees.
30-50 amps electric, water, sewer and cable.
No wifi.
Roads were tight due to the large trees but very manageable as long as you navigate around low branches.
Short walk to beach.
Bathrooms were nice and clean.
Laundry on site.
