Our son is in his junior year at the U.S. Naval Academy and as I have been searching Google Earth for campgrounds on the eastern shore of Maryland I see that there is a campground at the U.S. Naval Ship Research and Development Center. Can anyone provide us with any information concerning the requirements of being qualified to stay there during our son's graduation in 2019?

If that does not work out look at http://koa.com/campgrounds/washington-dc/

You mentioned Eastern Shore CGs. The closest ones would be Martinak SP, Denton & Tuckahoe SP just off 404. Both very nice but require crossing the chesapeake bay bridge to get to Annapolis (toll for eastbound no charge westbound).

We drove through the campground in early April 2014.

It is hilly and will be a challenge to get your rig level. But I would stay there if I was back in the area.

The military campgrounds web site is the place to start.

If he is in the military and camps, this web site is the place for the most up to date info.

Comprehensive place for US military campgrounds

Their eligibility info is pretty accurate too.

The local commander often has leeway to expand eligibility. Not sure about Naval Academy, but West Point allows RV overnights for football games and graduations on site in one parking lot. You might find that info on the Naval Academy web site.

This may be the phone number of the campground,(410)293-9200. The web site for US Military say it is the correct, but it is not always right. You can call and ask about the campground, but your son being the military member will have to make reservations. I am a retired Department of Defense (DOD) civilian employee and love staying in Military campgrounds whenever possible.

Your son would have to be there to check you in, I'm not sure about whether he would have to stay with you while you visit.
www.militarycampgrounds.us
has the contact information for that facility on their site so you could get more info there.
