Located on North Fort Lewis. Showers, washer/dryer and commons area were easy to access and clean. The online booking process is painless and the staff are great. You are right on the water at American Lake, but there are designated locations to go swimming, so you can't necessarily swim at a lake front spot.

The spots are shaded and the woods are dense which tends to block cell service a little. Wifi is available at the common area, but if you have a cell booster for your rig you'd have a better time here if you need to stay connected. You are close to the highway and you do hear a little road noise during the day but its not too bad.

Kid friendly and safe. I'll continue to use this location until the Army moves me on.

Stayed here a week PCS-ing in. Great sized spots and spaced out. The reservation system leaves something to be desired, there was no way to reserve online. I had to call and never received an email confirming my stay so it was kind of worrying not knowing if I had a reservation or not. On site facilities were good. They have a splash pad, pool, and you can rent boats to ride up and down the river from the marina. DO NOT stay here if you have T Mobile. Even with a signal booster it was impossible to get service here. Very hot in the summer but the power grid was good and we didn’t have any outages on the 30a service during our stay in July. Noise was ok but you are near the flight path for the airfield so you’ll hear things going on overhead from time to time. If you’re affiliated with the military it probably won’t bother you as it’s pretty infrequent, no more than other installations can be.

We stayed here because it is close to our house and we were trying out our new RV. We are new to this part of the country and are still honing our preferred method of RVing.

The lake was nice and the people running the place were outstanding. Very friendly staff and made us feel welcome. If you are into fishing this place would be really great, but that is all there is to do outside. There isn't a swimming area in the lake. The spots are extremely close together and this seems like more of a fish camp experience than a family RV destination.

It was cheap(ish) to stay and they let us stay past our required check out time. They had good wifi if you were close to the main store. That being said, there were many guests smoking marijuana, drinking night and day, and guests constantly swearing and shouting loud enough to be heard 100s of feet away. So overall we appreciated the experience to help us shake down our new RV, but overall we won't be going back to this location as it is really not the kind of experience we are looking for when we camp.

Friendly staff and waterfront sites. We were able to fish right from our site. The size of the site was spacious and offered a decent distance to our neighbors. T Mobile was between 1-3 bars with little 5G availability, Verizon had excellent service, 5 bars LTE. Water was on even when we camped in January. Power grid was good, maintained an even 124v on the 30a outlet we used.
