Loop 1600 1700 1800 or 1900

[caveat lector]

Background: New to camping (just bought 29BHS by Keystone) and new to FW. I've searched the threads looking for pictures/experiences in the 1600-1900. Even found a thread that book ends what I'm looking for (1500 and 2000). We are traveling with a pup, rented a cart from Kenny, and getting a prem or pref site was not a priority. All items are listed on our reservation for Mid-March (dog, awning, 30ft TT, etc.) and I'm assuming the loop listed above.

The family has survived being new to boating and trying to put a poontoon on a trailer the first time. I'm just looking to level set on what to expect when I arrive. Is this loop pretty tight, and I should expect a while to getting my TT backed in (I'm fairly experienced in all manners of towing)? Are the roads wide, and the slips appropriately angled for easy entry?

Don't want to re-invent the wheel, so a hyperlink to something I might have missed would be great.

Thanks,

We stay in these loops all the time. The only time I had to be put into a different spot wasin the 1900 loop. There is a tight site right across from the comfort station and there was no way I was going to be able to back in without taking out their little wooden fence.

1900 used to be swampy.
1700 - never stayed there
1600 and 1800 - been there alot and never had an issue with any of the spots getting in.

The only other issue involves across the street neighbors. If they are inconsiderate and leave their TV sticking out, backing in is sometimes an issue. Had this happen once but managed to get the trailer in after a few attempts. When my neighbor returned for the night, I politely explained my situation and requested he keep his TV in his spot or I wouldn't be such a nice guy and would contact security. He moved.

Outstanding. That's exactly what I was looking for. Sounds like enough space for manuevering. At 6'1" 270 lbs, inconsiderate neighbors are only a small bump in the road. Seems like a peaceful solution is desirable outcome.

We've stayed in the 1600 loop probably a dozen times, the 1700 loop twice and 1800 loop once. IIRC the 1800 and 1900 can be swampy if it rains hard. I usually request an outside site in the loop since they tend to be a tad easier IMO to get into. I always as for the 1600 loop just because we do like that loop and you are never more than 1/2 of a loop away from a comfort station since the 1600 loop shares one with the 1700 loop and one with the 1500 loop.

We love the 1700 loop. We would stay there even if we didn't take our dogs.
