We stayed 3 nights -we were able to check in early when we arrived around 8 am - it was nice to get a headstart on setup.
We have stayed here3 or 4 times - the last being in '05. I was quite surprised at how different everything looked - I'm sure its from the hurricanes - but so many trees gone & the ground looked like it had been set on fire - everything black.
WE stayed in the 1300 loop - 1315 ro be exact. We walked around to the bridge to head to the pool & looked across the street & saw nasty looking standing water - it was in several places around the campground - I'm guessing its just from the amount of rain that they've had lately - but I'd been extremely disappointed if that had been our site - having kids to keep out of that mess.
The grass behind the tennis courts was well overgrown - but on Thurs a.m. we did see someone cutting near our bathhouse - again maybe it was just the amount of rain that they haven't been able to keep up.
Other than that everything else was a nice as could be & the CM we dealt with were friendly.
LOVED the campfire - we roasted hotdogs & marshmallows & had a good time - didn't stay for the movie - it was something I knew nothing about other than it was PG & besides the littlest one wouldn't have been up for it anyway.
We will defintely return to FW - the boats route is different - or maybe its because of the time of year (last time was NOV) that we didn't have to stop at WL to drop-off/pickup it was a straight trip to MK - we liked that~
That's my FW review...

or there wasn't any construction going on around us - though we only went to the pool area & the boat - so didn't hit anywhere else on the campground...
