Is there a better way??????

[loveDmouse]

We brought along our new golf cart last month so my husband dropped me off and I ran over to check in while he went to the overflow area to unload the trailer and come back to get me in the cart. Seems like it is a little challenging to get over to the overflow and get back with the cart. Then we went back out with the RV to the main road and came back around to where we checked in so I could hop on the cart and we could go to our site. Is there an easier way that we missed or is that the way it is???
Just curious. Thanks guys.
Happy New Year!!!!!!

BTW--- we had no trouble leaving our trailer out in the overflow lot all week. We had a discussion on here a while back about it. They gave me a tag to put on it. It was all locked up and safe and sound. It would have been WAY crowded keeping it at our site.

The only other suggestion, I would make is just to drop the trailer with the cart on it, then drive the RV around to the drive-through check-in window and go get checked in and set up. Then come back later on the bus and pick up the cart.

But once you go to the overflow lot, the only way back around is on the main road.

you can get back in the fort with a golf cart, you don't need to do anything.

I was talking about their Rig. Once you pull into the overflow, you have to go to the main road and go around.

Get a detachable hitch installed on the rear of the golf cart. Take the cart on to the campsite, unload the cart and detach the trailer and hook up cart to trailer. Park camper, tow trailer back to overflow and bring cart back.
One man or woman job.

I'd pull into overflow, unhook the trailer then go check in.

Thanks guys! At least now I don't feel like a dummy that there was some obvious easier way to this that we just didn't see. It wasn't that difficult it was just a little challenging. Next trip won't seem so bad.

This is what we do, then DW will meet me at check in, on the cart, get our site # and go check to see if it is a good site. She will then call on the cell phone and if it is okay, wait there for me to pull up.

We normally take the MH and my jeep with the golf cart since it is not a long trip. I don't know if everything will fit in your space, but here is what we do. I have a small 2K load trailer that I haul the cart with. It is small enough to fit on the sand behind the MH, so we just unload the cart in front of the site once the MH gets in. We put the trailer behind the MH and the jeep in front. It works just fine with us. I don't know how long your trailer is or vehicle, but with two of us, we get in and out pretty quick at FW.

We have a 12' enclosed trailer that we carry our cart in.

We do have a hitch on our cart so we can always take one of the recommendations and bring the trailer back out from the site with the cart.

I really just wanted to make sure there wasn't some other way that we were missing but I see that it wasn't.

Thanks guys!!!

You can drive on the sidewalk infront of the kennel pass the gate and go back on the road to the campground. Just go slow around the sidewalk or wait till a car goes through the gate arm and follow behind it.

I had not considered this before, but after reading this thread I wonder how many people towing a TT would take the same option of temporarily dropping the TT in the overflow lot to go check out the site first?

Also, when you check in, do they mark the area on the map? I think the Fort is the only place I know of where they don't list the site numbers on the map, only the range (ie the 1400 loop). I tend to check out the site location in advance when planning a trip, and new high tech options like Live Earth and other internet sites allow us to view an overhead of the sites.

At least this board allows me to make a short list of sites that I probably would not want and have that available when checking in.
