What is life like at Camp Parks, CA?

I was stationed there for 7 years (and liven around the Bay since '83. It is definitely a fun little base. It isn't Bragg. It isn't McCoy. It has a really small PX and no commy as it sits between two fun towns of Pleasanton and Dublin. The people there are great to work with, your a BART ride away from one the most beautiful places on the planet and only a few hours drive from multiple fun spots (tahoe, monterey, sacramento, SF, santa cruz). Be aware it gets HOT in the summer being on the western edge of the central valley. But great weather all year round. Take advantage of everything the Bay has to offer and you'll never be bored. When you get there, check out Denica's resturant. Military friendly and some of the best food around.

I deployed here in 09 and stayed, I live outside base in San Ramon and now drill at Moffitt field. things are expensive being close to San Francisco but the schools are top notch if you have kids. there is housing on post and across the street, there is also a BART station across the street behind the new housing to take you anywhere you want to go. there is a very small PX more like a coffee shop and no commissary you have to go to Moffitt or Travis AFB for that. hope that helps
