    Toronto to the Fort :)

    We come from the Sauble Beach area, about 3 hours NW of Toronto. We take I75, it is busy but probably not as mountainous as the other way, and we know all the stops well by now. We often do it in two nights on the way down. Work/school for the morning and then leave about 1:00 pm and drive to...

    Give me some assurance drydocking at truck stop or walmart

    We have stayed at Walmart's several times without any trouble. We always try for a 24 hour walmart and park close to other rvs with the door facing the store. It has never happened, but the plan is that if anyone ever knocks on the door we do NOT open the door, they can talk to me through the...

    Does anyone know when Spring Break is?

    Shirley 38 We often stop at FW on our way back from Key West. In Ontario spring break is 3rd week of March, and we usually take 2 weeks so are coming back at about the same time as you are talking about. We leave Key West at about 6:00am and arrive at the Fort at about 2:00pm, go for a swim...

    Staying in Pet Loop without Pets??

    Thanks for the feed back. It sounds like the pet loops aren't necessarily packed with dogs on every site(?). I will probably try for 800. Thanks Pete.

    Staying in Pet Loop without Pets??

    Hello It seems, from what I have read, that they are turning my favourite loops into pet loops.. 800 and 1600. I feel like I would be taking a spot from a pet owner that needs to be there? Are the pet loops packed with dogs or do non pet owners stay there too? Any advice is greatly...

    Considering Cancelling Trip for 09/03

    LMC This is a bit off the Dis topic but.. we too are due to go to the Distin area on the 24th of this month (Topsail Hill State Park) and wonder if we should. We don't want to be taking up fuel, water, supplies and space from people who really need it. I also want to have enough gas to get...

    Slightly OT, Key West after Disney?

    Beth I agree that Bluewater Key looks REALLY nice, but not an option for us because they have a minimum length that we don't reach. We were at Sugarloaf KOA last March and are going back this year. One nice thing there is they have a partially sandy beach that the kids can swim and play at...

    FW in March + some beach camping.. suggestions?

    Hi We are thinking of heading to Florida for 2 weeks before Easter. Would like some time at FW and some time at the Beach. Last year we went to Sugarloaf KOA and liked it very much but it is far and expensive. Any other suggestions? I assume it would have to be S Florida to be reliable beach...

    What route from Michigan to Florida??

    Kimba18 We drove from London Ontario towing a 1300 lb pop-up behind a Dodge Caravan V6 3.0L with two adults and two kids (6&4). The Caravan towed the trailer pretty good, but not full speed up hill. We did a total distance from London to FW of 1317 miles in 25 hours. I drove between 65 and...

    What route from Michigan to Florida??

    Hi Kimba18: We just got back from our trip to FW. And of course the FIRST thing I do is check out the FW board... I've got to get a life! Anyway.. we drove from Ontario through Detroit and took I-75 all the way there and back. Definitely the way to go. I think the mountains on I-95 are...

    Do we need sleeping bags?

    Hello Moores: No, like others have said it will probably be too hot to be in your sleeping bags. This is what we have done; take an old twin or double sheet, fold it in half and sew it across the bottom and about 2/3 the way up the side. This forms an insert for your bag. The sheet is alot...
