Blast Camp

This is my boys first time here. They are great here, they explained to them what they needed to know and helped them with all their questions. Will definitely come back again. A good time in weather.

Blast Camp is at an old army base which has been transformed into about 7 different courses of varying sizes and types. But even though other places have many more courses, nothing ever gets old because the refs are SUPERB at making up different games and different objectives. So even when you’re playing the same course for a second time, it feels totally new. And the games they create are great, everything from capture the flag to bootleggers running whiskey/​rye to four corners (capture the bases at each corner). And after you complete the match once, you always reverse sides and re-​run the match.
The open play group gets exposed to every course which is great. They take the group out to the course — only a short walk — and then run the course twice (switching sides) and then the group walks back. There’ll be a brief gap to refill air, paint, food, etc and then you all walk out to the next course.
Some negatives to point out though, the way they do open play isn’t the best since they just take everyone, regardless of group size, to the same course for matches. I was there all day and the total group size varied throughout the day but we had some huge groups on some courses so I got stuck sitting behind someone waiting to shoot. Would’ve been best to split the group in half.
The other big negative to me is that one of the games they created was simply defend the base. This was a terrible idea especially with such a large group. Especially when the base could fire directly on the opposing starting point. The refs created some awesome games, but royally screwed up this one.
Overall, had a great time. And Blastcamp is cheaper than a number of the other paintball places I been to.

What a fun place to spend a day. Many different field styles. Friendly staff and reasonably priced field paint (Field paint only).
Refs create fun games and even teams. They have a nice staging area with picnic tables and grills. They also built a brand new Pro-​Shop that I cant wait to get back and see. Looked amazing during construction.
They also repaired my marker for me and lent me a rental at no charge. Definitely a fun place to bring you kid or friends.

I sent my son and 2 friends today on the living social deal. They called at the end of the day saying their first round of balls that came with the deal were stolen. Not sure how this could be avoided in the future but wanted to put the information out there to warn others. I did call and they just said they were really busy today and sometimes that happens. Very disappointing.

How do I describe Blast Camp…
A high adrenaline experience.
A place for (fear) sweat, dirt, paint splatters, welts to the skin.
An oasis for a group of rough boys.
Cool old (BIG) military base with trails, buildings, fields, bunkers.
Via Groupon, I came here with three others for an introduction to the wild world of paintballing. As we pulled in to the grassy parking lot, we came across a group of hardcore paintballers — dressed head-​to-​toe in camo, toting their own guns, masks, ammo. [ My stomach sank. What the H was I thinking!!! ]
Yes, I was scared /​nervous /​intimidated.
No, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing.
But — the staff was very friendly and did their best to explain the rules, safety procedures, the game setups. The longer we were there, the more comfortable I felt.
We rented everything — guns, ammo, face shields, chest protectors — and stayed for three hours, played four or so games, broken up into two outings on the field in different locations. There were a ton of people there, which made everything seem more chaotic. Not sure if it’s always that crowded, but at one point there were 80+ people there, making the two teams pretty big.
Summary:
I have a few raised marks left over from my hits, but I’m not covered in bruises and I still have both eyeballs intact — so, all in all, I consider the outing a success.
Would I go again? Possibly (but probably not…)
Would I recommend this place to other paintball-​loving individuals? Absolutely.
Note:
If you’re going to stay all day, bring a cooler with water. Food: if you like; but water: a must.

Blast camp is under new ownership now they are better than ever, great employees and really great people come here to play, The field is an old Nike Missile base, and there is nothing better than close quarters combat in the old buildings, and even a little bit of woods ball around the complex. Open play, private groups or the big scenario games, there is fun to be had at all levels of playing ability.

Awesome place for paintball. The staff was exceptional.

Blast camp is by far one of my favorite paintball fields! Not only are the people who work there really nice, but generally so are the people who go to play. This is an old run down military base and each time you play they section off different parts as your field. However, if you are lucky enough or plan well enough to go during a scenario weekend they open the entire base.
«fifteen buildings, five radar towers, multitude of wooden bunkers, and the longest trench system in paintball. We also have our own seven man air ball field!»
I was at the May 25^th scenario weekend and it was amazing! Two teams of 60 and the entire base was the playing ground. It’s the best adrenaline rush popping around a corner knowing there might be 30 guys just waiting to take you out! I loved that not only did they have a major mission for each team, but they also set up smaller missions that go on simultaneously. Through-​out the day each person has the chance to be a follower, a leader, and a partner, rather than some places where a single person takes charge and everyone else is expected to follow. Reinsertion times were really frequent and I can’t think of a time that I sat out for more than two or three minutes. I loved that during lunch they opened the speedball field for anyone to play, while waiting for the real game to continue. I also loved that they raffled off 10 guns and a ton of other great gear based solely on your entry form for the game, no tickets to loose or extra paperwork to fill out =)
Only downsides… not enough staff on hand, not enough knowledgeable staff, and the little strips that they give out to differentiate which team you are on are way too small, and often fall off. All of this only takes away one star because everything else they offer is just that good.
PS Paintballs travel just as fast and hurt just as much coming from a girl ;)
