Can someone tell me what is the maximum length camper that will fit at the Fort?
The answer is 'yes',
@jimmytammy. But I know that's not EXACTLY what you're asking.
<jk>. Like all things in life, the answer is, "it depends".
There are campsites that can accommodate the longest 5er you can find. And of course, the campsite CATEGORY that best will fit long trailers are the Premium and Premium Meadows categories (essentially the same but the more pricey Meadows sites are nearest the main Pool and Meadow Trading Post area). However, even in those categories, some sites are better than others (easier to back into, no obstructions in the rear just off the pavement (trees, stumps, etc).
Folks like to reserve less expensive sites for a camper like the Preferred and Full campsites and the same rules apply: however, many (not most) sites will accommodate the longest trailers but not all.
What we recommend doing is if you have a long(er) trailer and are wanting to fit in a small(er) category campsite, ALWAYS ask the CM to add the length of your trailer as a note to your reservation (if phoning in a reservation). If making a reservation on-line, get the reservation made then call back in the days/weeks after to get that note added ("we have a 44' 5th wheel plus a tow vehicle).
The CM's at the Fort are very good about seeing those notes and making changes behind the scenes before you arrive to try to make sure that you end up with a site that will fit you. I always call and request a specific loop (in the category I reserved) and I've gotten that loop MANY times (and when I didn't, I rode thru it after checking in and, sure enough, there were no empties - so the CM's really do try to accommodate you).
Of course, if you have a smaller 5er and can fit just about anywhere, sometimes it's a little exciting to see what loop and what site you end up with.
You'll like a February stay at the Fort. IMO that's the BEST weather month to camp - sunny days and cool, clear nights. Of course, the rates reflect the fact it's a wonderful month to camp.
Help the Fort staff help you by giving them the length of your trailer before you arrive and let them work their magic. The pixie dust is real.

PS - or, like me, always add a note to your reservation on every stay regardless of what loop or category you want.
PPS - It's always an adventure getting backed into your assigned campsite. And to keep this reply light-hearted, I will add that it can also draw a crowd.
