Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, NV. Awesome commissary and BX, all the security you could ask for, reasonable rates and close to the best entertainment in the world. Also about 2 miles from the Vegas Motor Speedway.

Wow! That is a difficult decision.
Not necessarily in order:
Lunga Park, Quantico, VA
Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, TX
Davis/Monthan, Tucson, AZ
Honorable mention are:
Seebreeze, Seal Beach, CA
Petaluma Coast Guard Training Center, Petaluma, CA (no sewer)

I agree that is a tough question as we have been to 30-some of them.
Davis-Monthan, Nellis, anf Ft Sam would definitely be in the final run-off based on both famcamp quality and location.

Have only stayed in a few, but have to rate Adm. Baker in San Diego as #1  , then Nellis and/or D/M in Tucson for #2. NAS Fallon is a place to stay, but isn't high on my list.

I have to say that Del Mar beach at MCB Camp Pendleton is the best I have been to so far. The reason being is you are parked right on the beach and there is nothing like waking up in the morning to the sound of the ocean!

Being a retired Air Force type, I hate to omit it but Kings Bay Naval Station in Georgia would certainly get my vote. Theres are not as many RV spaces as many of the AF parks but its a very nice facility.

That is a tough question and everyone seems to have their own favorites for various different reasons.
We have not been to a lot of them but the ones that stick out in my mind are:
Fort Sam Houston - San Antonio
Uchee Creek - Fort Benning
Blue Angels Park - Pensacola
Eglin AFB
Coon's Creek - MacDill AFB
Pelican Roost - Mayport NAS - Jacksonville
Sigsbee NAS - Key West
Ones that we want to visit:
Kings Bay NAS
Perringen Pines - Colorado
Nellis AFB
Our most frequent location has been at McConnell AFB in Wichita.
This is because of some extended family health matters and it is real convienent for us to stay there.
It is a very small little campground with about 10 spaces. It only has electric and water at each site - well I need to take that back partially.
They have 2 sites on the far end that are gravel an only have electric.
Then they have one common dumpstation. It is clean, secure and fairly well maintained. The campground does not have any additional features to speak of except they do have a descent sized tornado shelter in the back of the campground. This was put in there after a huge tornado blew through there about 15 years ago and it cleared the campground and about 75 other buildings on the base. They have a small BX and commissary but no other significant features.
