My 4 year old DD wanted to know if you tried to kiss the frog...It is DW after all and she was sure that it was a prince

Too bad your new awning wasn't in blue instead of yellow, but I have to say, you always have one of the best set ups at the fort.

Site 328 - Nice site. Too small for a big rig, but plenty of room for a truck camper or popup. Backs up to the canal and dog walk.

Carol,

I just love your T@b and the whole set up! I just wondered, How do you pack it all for travelling? It looks like you bring a lot of stuff. Is it recommended to load your tow vehicle or the trailer? We're tent campers (but I'm hoping for a small trailer some day) so all we know is packing up the van.

Site 2031​

Well, this was our first trip tent camping at FW in many years. It was also the first time I have stayed in the 2000 loop. As much as I loved having the TT in a premium loop, I have to honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this trip!!! Of course we had exceptional weather, and that always helps when you're in a tent.

From the back of Site 2031 looking across the great divide over to 1000 loop.

Looking back toward our site from the dog walk behind 900 loop.

I was afraid I would feel so separated from the Meadow, and Settlement in this loop. However, it was not a bad walk from our site, down to the Group Camping area, then across this bridge and into 900 loop.

From the back of the 900 loop it's just a short walk to The Meadow.

Hi ynottony99, a few questions about this site. It's really pretty and looks to have ample space, both on the pad and in the surrounding area. We are checking in on a saturday night, so I doubt we'll get a site in 1500 that first night. We check out and back in the next day, and I think we could get a site in 1500, but I don't know if we want to move after setting up camp the night before. (We'll have a toddler and 2 other kids with us.)

So, here goes:

1. How long was the walk to the internal bus stop?

2. How long was the walk to the comfort station?

3. Was the walk through to the 900 loop really rugged ground, or just grass? (We have strollers with us and I'm wondering if it would be possible to ride the strollers through that path)

4. Could you hear the campfire/movie at night?

Thanks for any input!

2000 loop is big, and some sights are a pretty fair distance from the bus.

2. How long was the walk to the comfort station?

there are 2 comfort stations. We were about 5 sights from our cs. Again it is a big loop, and some sights will be more of a hike.

3. Was the walk through to the 900 loop really rugged ground, or just grass? (we have strollers with us and i'm wondering if it would be possible to ride the strollers through that path)

getting from 2000 to the group camping area requires cutting between 2 camp sites and there is a little "off roading" involved. Through the group camp sight you are walking on grass until you reach the bridge leading to 900. Once you are in 900 loop it is paved all the way.

4. Could you hear the campfire/movie at night?

yes we could hear it.

I wish i had more specifics for you. I think you will be able to size things up after you get there. Depending on the number of days you are staying, i am thinking you will want to move to 1500, all things considered.

thanks for any input!

Was that your site, Brent?

Edit: nevermind, I found your trip report (and thoughts on the site). Looking forward to reading it tomorrow!

1419

This was our site this past weekend, site 1419. The motorhome is a 32 foot and there was more than enough room to park the jeep in front. We also could have parked further back if we wanted the back hanging over the canal, lol.

I'm pretty sure this is 824. Not our favorite, but great for the kids since we were right by the comfort station.
