Okay nuke moms - thinking about going to GC to spend Thanksgiving weekend with nuke son we have not seen since PIR IN May. Where have you stayed when you have gone when you have visited your student? Have seen some info on villas in the campground on base - anyone know anything about these - can they be rented by family or would son have to do it? Also any info on villas on Lake Moultrie, shown as a Navy short stay location. Looking for something reasonable with kitchen. Any input or suggestions would be helpful. We are planning on spending the whole week in the area as we have never been there, even though we will probably only see son from Wednesday evening - Sunday morning. Thanks for your help. Melody

Heather - go up to Inga's reply dated March 3. She gives a link to militarynewcomers site. Go there, then scroll down to Morale, Welfare and Recreation. THEN - scroll down to the Fitness Center info. I'm not sure why the info on Foster Creek Villas/RV park is under that heading, but it is. Maybe because you make your reservations thru the ITT desk which is in the fitness center. The site itself is kinda neat because it lets you know what is availabe on base for your sailor to do. We stayed at the Villas in November and walked around and through the camp ground. It looked pretty nice. There is a fire pit, nice bathhouse and a nature trail. If you have trouble finding the #, let me know and I will look it up.
Any idea on how to contact the Foster Villas? My son starts Nuke School on Monday 4/6 and we are going to go and spend the weekend there with him. Thank you for your time and help!! Stacy

You can make the reservations, but your sailor has to pick up the keys. Also remember that even if you don't need a 3 or 4 BR unit, but it's all that's available, it's at such a great rate( no taxes) with kitchen, washer/dryer--that you can't go wrong. If your sailor has phased up to where they can get a chit to spend the weekend with you, it is a real treat!!!
