Just wondering if anyone has ever got to check in early and get into thier site? I've seen that people do it in the hotels, but have never heard about the campground...................:sunny:
 
We've already gotten in at 10:30 am. It just depends on how busy they are and if your site is cleaned up. We've also had to wait until 1:00. We are always there early.
 
We only live about 40 min away, but we try get to the campground by 11:ooam. We usually get right in, I can't remember ever having to wait other than waiting on those in front of us who are checking in.:D
 

We leave our driveway at 5:00 AM. Pull up to the gate between 7:30/7:45 AM. Wife goes into Outpost and registers while I clean off windshield. Depending on time of year, if a site is ready I then put on our Mickey and Minnie wiper covers my wife made and drive to our site, or if site is not ready we just go to the big lot and start our stay.

Have checked with front desk and was told that if you try to check in before 4:00 AM, you will be charged for the day that just past if you did not have a ressie for that day. After the computers roll over for the new day you can then check in. Was told that 6:00 to 7:00 AM would be about the earliest.

We got to FW at 7:30 AM one Friday morning and our site was not ready and there were no other sites available for our MH. Wife saw our site number so we bicycled to the site after we parked in the big lot. Sure enough there was a TT there so we knew we would have to wait until they checked out. Even though checkout is 11:00 AM, the campers were still not out of the site by NOON. We finally got into our site by 1:45 PM on that day.

FW was so full that day that there were no other sites available for us to choose from unless we wanted Pet Loop or Pet Overflow Loop and that was not an option.
