Input from members: Dump station is west of East Road before tunnel.  However,
access road was torn up and barricaded.  Outdoor recreation personnel
said that we could drive around the barricade on the grass, but the water
was padlocked off -- consider it UNUSABLE.  Restrooms/showers, laundry
and dumpster for trash all require a key to open.  There's no cost, but
key must be picked up at Outdoor Recreation office on check-in and
deposited in the laundry room box on departure.  Campround is adjacent to
large field and within sight of Scott Lake.  Telephone is outdoors at
bathhouse -- local calls are 35 cents.  Commissary, PX, Gas Station,
Clubs and Hospital are on base west of Scott Drive.  Check-out time: 
1100.  There is an AAFES shopette only two blocks from the campground.
