Only back-in sites at The Fort?

[HeatherPage]

Hello all,

We will hopefully be buying our first ever travel trailer in the next few weeks and this will be our first time towing anything of this nature. Are all the sites at Fort Wilderness (preferred or otherwise) back-in only? If so, I guess my husband will need to start his backing-in skills as soon as we hopefully get the trailer.

Thanks for any input!

I believe that 99 % of the sites are backup, I saw a few pull-thrus. Some of the backup sites are a little tough. Our last one has a tree on either side of the site. It also depends how long your RV is.

It will be about 29 ft. long (with one slide). Do they take requests for pull-throughs?

There are 2 pull-through sites in the 1200 loop. You can request but that does not mean you will get one of them.

Practice, practice and more practice is the best thing.

If you are really having a hard time parking you can always call the Outpost from the house phone at the comfort station and they will send someone out to help, that is if your neighbors haven't been able to help(we really are a friendly helpfull bunch at FW).

I would reccomend that as soon as you get the TT, go to a large empty parking lot and practice backing into different spots from different angles. Even if you do get a pull through, eventually you are going to have to back it up. Good Luck.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I should have more faith in my husband's driving skills. I'm sure we'll (he'll) get in plenty of practice before any trips to the Fort :)

I would recommend, from experience, that you use a set of walkie talkies so you can help him back in and not everyone in the campground has to hear the yelling :blush: :rotfl2: :listen:

He will be fine, there is usually plenty of room for him to jockey. :bitelip:

Good Luck!

LOL...that was us the first time we went camping in our tt, our neighbors even came out to watch the show, we have learnt since then to use alot of hand signals and our not so loud quite voices :teeth:

What? not everyone enjoys my loud directions to hubby while backing in :teeth: :rotfl:

If you absolutely can't get into your site, SOMEONE will help! Either another camper or give the office a call. Definately don't fret over backing in. We've all been there when we were learning.

Have a great trip!
