Nice concrete pads and patios. Truly lives up to the name deer run. Deer are everywhere. I'll be back.

Wow this small out of the way base has wide spacious concrete sites, we were so surprised and happy. We stayed two days on our way up the east coast.

One of the best RV parks we have been to. This is our third time staying here over a period of five years. It is a military (retired and active duty) only park on Earle Naval Weapons Station in Colts Neck, NJ. There are 15 RV sites with concrete pads, electric, water and sewer hookup. The rate is $25/night. Worth every penny! Like living in a peaceful park with deer everywhere. Very nice.
