Help! Can you put tent in premium campsite???

[SydneyRoo]

We have been going to FW for many years but did not go last year. We always stay in the 800 loop, and have a 22 ft. RV and also use a large tent to accommodate our large family and three pugs. Now we are confused about the site since they have redone them. I have the premium site reserved, but need to know if it is possible to put a tent on the site. I called the Fort and they said that we cannot stake down a tent, but you can have a tent. Is that true and have any of you had any experience with this???? Please Help, we are leaving next week! Thanks in advance for any advice.......

They are correct. It is all concrete, no sand pad. So, technically, you are allowed to have a tent. You just have nothing to stake it down to. I think Carol pointed out that if you situate it on the corner of the concrete, you could stake down 3 corners. That would only work with my dome tent as it is pretty much free standing anyway. My larger tent would not be steady enough with only 3 corners staked down.

Now, there has been talk of people placing them off of the concrete pad. This is not allowed by the fort, but apparently, a lot of people are doing it.

Happy Camping!!!
