We have been using military CGs from coast to coast for the last 5 or so years. On the whole, they are cheaper, safer, cleaner and just better than commercial CGs. The downsides other than that you need a military ID to use them are that most installations do not allow firearms of any kind and that many of the CGs where we have stayed are nearly full of contractors who may or may not be military. Many times, the contractor parks his rig on the CG and leaves it there empty for months while he is working elsewhere. Another problem is the move to privatize everything military. If the CG has a contractor running it, usually it is not much better than or in some cases, worse than the commercial CGs. Most military CGs do not take reservations; you show up and take your chances. On the other hand, even when they are full, most military CGs will fit you in somewhere for the night. We have parked next to a building where we could run a hose and extension cord thru a window and made out just fine. For anyone eligible, a military CG is a good option that we use whenever available.
