OK - Im the kind of girl who likes to plan - I have measurements on all the floorplan elements for our tent site - now I would like to plan on how they will all fit together. The size of the sites seems to vary - we are hoping for a 1500 loop site 10/24 - 11/07 - If you were to layout all of your camping elements on a pice of graph paper - how big a space would be safe or average including the parking area. Im sorry if this info is already out there - I have been taking a break from planning so I could work on our site decorations - now that they are nearly done - I want to get back into the planning. Is 15' x 25' safe, too much, too little - what do you think?

I think I want to see your site when it is set up, that's what I think!

Having just camped on the 1500 loop, I would say 15' x 25' is very safe. I think you would have more space on most sites. But, some of the sites in 1500 have trees growing in odd places in the sand pads. Like this one (I think this is 1505):

But, you could also get a site like this one on the 1500 loop:

That is site #1515- pretty nice, isn't it?

You would need more graph paper for that baby, huh?

I think you are on track with the 15' x 25', or maybe a little longer say 30'. That should be safe.
