The NAS ramp is very nice and parking is excellent. However, on weekends it can be horrifically busy. The nearby Big Lagoon State Park may be an option. It has a ramp but I've never used it.

If an active duty or retired local is willing to sponsor a group I imagine the XO would sign up for use of the ramp, especially on a weekday.

The Naval Air Museum is a great visit and just down the road from the ramp. It's also free.

The duplex cabins are generally booked well in advance but it's worth a try. An option is the Navy Lodge across from the Museum for those with a Military ID.
