Navy family here, we visit this beach when in the area and in need of escaping Belmar etc. crowds. Clean beach and amenities; outdoor shower, changing rooms etc. Feels semi private especially during weekdays and on-holidays. Populated by the usual range of ages and stages in military and otherwise. Bonus feature, my three young sons love driving slowly by the retired aircrafts on the museum grounds (when it's not super hot we plan to get out and see them up close!).
Great spot for soldiers and cops to relax with their families.
I'm an Army Retiree and I just spent 4 Days here. It was my first time experiencing the Jersey Shore and I really liked it! Great facilities and the Beach was wonderful. Can't wait to go again. The people running the campground don't do this as a full time job, it's just an additional duty for them so cut them some slack or just go elsewhere.
Just about the only reason that you would be visiting this place is if you're army national guard or a state trooper, which means you have to go here. That being said, the facilities on this base are for the most part, quite nice. This center has seen the creation of many soldiers and troopers, and I am proud to be one of them.
I called to find out about the campground on base to possibly make reservations
I left a message and no one called me back.
Bad business
Some higher ups on base will be hearing from me asap
