Fort Chaffee

Nothing beats summer training at the wonderful, world exclaimed, Ft. Chaffee. Where the wind never blows and the chiggers, ticks, and mosquitoes are immune to just about any bug spray.
If you don't want to eat that mre for lunch, you can always enjoy the overpriced hotdogs the exchange sells. Just don't expect to use your star card, because they don't accept those things here.
Hope time goes by fast if you have to come here for training.

Who doesn't love this place? It has that rustic charm that only a vintage WWII post can have. Go Army

Over all, a very nice military RV spot to stay at for a night or a week.
Upsides, quiet, good view of the mountains, small lake. All sites are gravel with full hook ups, BarBQ, fire pits, (wood is furnished) there are only two pull through. There is a camp host, who is cordial, friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. The staff at the check in, are also friendly and helpful. Sites are inexpensive, at $11, though there is a reason for it.

Downside, no washer/dryer at the site, there are machines at building 1349, they are used by everyone training at the base, so they can get a bit gritty with sand, they do however work and are free. There is only a small PX shop near the entrance of the RV site. They cater to the units that come here to train. Make sure you have everything you need before you get here. (no RV supplies) and limited on food stuff, though great on military stickers, clothing and alcohol. No gas station on base.
Having said all this, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and looking forward to coming here again.

I loved Ft Chaffe. Was stationed there on active duty 1979-1980, as the Range Control Officer. I knew that 72,000 acres like the back of my hand.

A Cold War era former Army base closed in the mid 80s, I think. Where Elvis Presley reported for military duty. The Army barber shop that cut his hair is now a museum. Parts of the base have been given over for civilian use and some is now Arkansas National Guard property. The base is distinctive for having many of its WWII wooden barracks still in use by National Guard unit who train there now.

Rv park is great its quiet and price is very nice

Ft Chaffee is one of the most versatile military traning posts in the country.

I never visited a coffeeshop at ft chaffee,but the rv park is wonderful. The only detraction is I'm a senior citizen and the trash cans are way down to the entrance. Staff are nice, sites are clean. Really a nice park

Everything is literally a few blocks away from each other, so you can walk to where ever you need or want to go. One downside is that the buildings are not marked very well, so if you dont know what building number or what building in general, that you are looking for, you might have to ask somebody.

The barracks were good but the ranges sucked. There were no latrines. Some ranges have latrines but they are nasty and not maintained.
