How do you interpret this?

I dunno, if a business can be shut down because they refuse to make a cake for a Gay Couple's wedding, I can't imagine what would happen if someone prevented a vow renewal.

By camping vehicles I meant campers/RV's. To me it seems like you can place as many as can fit on your pad. Not just one. They really need better wording. Or they are covering their butt when there are more than one and someone complains.

Now that you mention it like this it does kinda sound like you could have more than one camper on site. Perhaps the intent was for a camper and tents? Maybe wasn't intending for another actual camper but more along the lines of a canvas shelter. I agree, it could use a little better wording.
 
Back to what the OP REALLY wants to know: I would take it as maybe tents not in the trees but on the pad? It would be hard other than maybe a couple of tent trailers and cars to have much more than one camping unit on a site. I'll agree with tiggerdad, it could be worded a lot better.

I didn't realize I had to be in some sort of "frequent" category before I was allowed to ask a legitimate question about something another person posted. I didn't realize it was such a difficult or unusual question to get an answer to. It appears many know the answer, but are unwilling to explain. Sorry for intruding in what appears to be a less than welcoming section of the forums.
 
Really, I interpret the rule (from OP) that it means exactly what it's saying (Letter of the law, so to speak) but that it's not strictly enforced unless it's an issue.
Basically, if you aren't being obnoxious about it, you will be okay. So don't have every square inch of the "Defined" campsite (not just the pad area) covered with Tents, vehicles, equipment, etc....

I have seen "Tents" set off in the back of a campsite (premium) where there is a larger camper. It wasn't an issue, and it didn't seem to intrude on other sites. While technically speaking, it was probably violating a rule, they didn't appear to be "Abusing" the privilege (Okay not really a privilege, but you know what I mean.)
 
If this is what they are trying to eliminate, or stop, they are not enforcing it. We had this happen on our January camping trip at the Fort. Apparently the "offending" vehicle was viewed as a tow vehicle. After it left after four nights, it did not tow a thing. The other truck and travel trailer on the site stayed for an additional two nights. Our daughter and husband moved next to us, and Disney credited them two nights for the generator running in the "tow vehicle" which was less than six feet (slide to slide) from our daughters. image.jpeg

This brought to my attention, again, how difficult it can be to NOT end a sentence with a preposition sometimes. Dang that 11th grade English teacher! She haunts my ability to enjoy everyday threads!

^^^ that is some squeezing in the vehicles.... wow!

This is why i think better wording and a number of camping vehicles should be on their hand outs. These are basically on the pad.
 
Does anybody else remember years ago that the rule (in writing) was one trailer/rv and one tent or 2 tents? That seems a little foggy in my memory but it's there. But it has been a while... Anyone else remember that?

WOW, my question would be how did they let them register both campers on the same site or did they rent 2 sites, didn't get them close so decided to only use one site? I wouldn't want to be that close to anybody on the same site including my DS and family, LOL.

We haven't been that often so don't remember that but the last time we were at WDW, had some relatives driving up from Miami and I know it says one vehicle per site, we stopped at office and inquired and was told as long as both fit on the pad, no problem.

Lodge, sorry to have ruined your day with my poor grammar. Will be more careful next time. Heads up, we are being critiqued, when trying to post in a moment of passion.
 
Rajak, when the Front Desk was called, they came down and spoke with our daughter and son in law. We had just arrived later evening from a park day, and it was after 10:00 pm. The CM said they tried to call the number assigned to the site, and no one answered, and would address the situation in the morning. The next morning/afternoon came and went, and again that evening, generator was running. A call was made, and they came down, and we were informed that they were leaving in the morning. At that time our daughter was told she was being credited two nights stay for the noise. Saturday, Jan. 2, lots of empty sites, and our daughter now moved next to us, and the site our daughter was available for this "tow vehicle" to move, as well as another site two spaces away from the site they were double occupying. Did not move, sites remained available, and Sunday evening, the "tow vehicle" fired up its turbo, shook the campground and left. So, we learned its not who you are, but its who you know!!! All in all, it did NOT ruin anybody's time, but during that $$$$ time between Christmas and New Years, we could have saved some money and had both our fivers on one site for four days and saved about $550.00. Lessons learned (none).

Ah! There's the picture I was trying to find. I remembered you posted it in the report but I wasn't able to locate it. I agree with Rajak73 about how that could happen. Unless, the original TT and TV were there and the individual in the motorhome came in the Fort as a "visitor" and instead of parking in overflow drove on to the site and parked there instead. Still wasn't right for bjschil and their family, or anybody else around for that matter, to have to listen to the generator all night. The fact they were not made to leave is just another example of what Rusty was referring to about the rules not being enforced in order for people to have "the best vacation at Disney ever".

I remember it. One tent is what I recall.

Hi, I'm sorry you've been caught in a camping forum vortex...it really is a friendly bunch. As for the constitutional debate, I interpreted it as follows: The Constitution guarantees all of us freedom of speech and that includes giving Rusty the right to do vow renewals on the Fort particularly if they are a non-commercial venture (which disney would have the ability to regulate). We don't have a constitutional right to have 3 cars and 6 tents on a site nor 25 people if that is my "immediate" family, or open fires for smores. Disney has the ability to limit that as they see fit. Many of the state campgrounds I stay in have bigger sites but only allow 6-8 people per site so I see Disney's 10 people allowed as pretty generous.
