pet loop suggestions?

[BradyBz12]

Do you know anything about the 500 loop, are the inside sites very spacey?
We live out in the country and our doggie isn't used to the traffic noise, so I am looking for something away from the main roads where the buses are.

We stayed in 500 once, about 3 years ago. We were on the outside about halfway through - maybe 5-6 sites from the comfort station. It was a very nice site with a decent amount of space on either side and lots of bushes in the back so that you couldn't really see the next loop. But that was before they went through and cleared out all the non-native plants.

Our friends stayed on 500 in November and we were amazed at how "open" it felt between all the sites now. They've recently replanted, but things are still growing (although they grow pretty quickly in FL). They were on the inside about 2/3 of the way around. It was pretty wide open between your neighbors on all sides and in the back. However you really couldn't notice a lot of traffic noise from the buses on the road. That's probably only an issue on 500 for the sites right near the entrance of the loop and for the 4-5 sites directly to the left of the comfort station on the outside, which back up to the other main road (it's not super close, but you can definitely hear the buses)

With 300 you really only have an issue with being close to the road if you're in the last 6-8 (?) sites on the outside of the loop. Again it's not super close, and they've replanted a lot in this area which will help, but you'll definitely hear the buses from these sites - especially since there's a bus stop directly across the main road.

Keep in mind though that the "main roads" in the Fort aren't anything like roads around your town/city. The only real traffic you get are the Disney buses, golf carts (which don't really make ANY noise) and an occasional car doing 20 mph. So it's definitely on the low end of the scale of "traffic noise"

We like 500. It's easier in and out than 300 especially if you have a motorhome. It seems to have much more space between the sites than 300.

Thanks for the info. We stayed in site 333 18 months ago, a large pie shaped site that was almost totally denuded. A bit of trouble backing in but otherwise a great site. Now I would think the shrubs would have grown back and provided a lot of privacy

I told you the wrong site number, we stayed at #1929
Might not be a big difference, but I thought I'd let you know.
Also, I don't think it was as much to do with the sites as the drivers, but while we were there...
We saw a camper trying to park at night and back of the side of the slab, hit a tree and get really stuck. They must have stayed somewhere else that night because the camper was leaning so badly I think if the tree hadnt been there it would have flipped over.
We also saw a car get hit by a camper trying to back into their site.
I can't believe they (the car owner) didn't learn something, being the car was stuck half out in the road.
Because it got hit again the next day by someone leaving.
And we were only there 6 days.
Naturally we met Brian, the guy in the truck that monitors the area, many times!

Yeah, that's actually the "value" season rate for Premium these days. It only gets worse from there.

Bobby I. is EXTREMELY proud of his campground.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Not surprised. When we were on 300 in November, there were several sites where cars/trucks were parked half out in the road. One of them had 3 big trucks parked side-by-side across the front of the site - um, yeah, as you can guess they were not all on the pavement. They stayed that way for the better part of a week - but oh yeah, WE got a little note on our GC for parking 2 wheels on the grass so we could reach the plug to charge. Wha-wha-whaaaaat?

Where was our favorite Campground monitor that week. I remember him stopping by one day because my DD had pulled the Truck in at an angle and the front tire was on the ground (dirt) not the pavement. He was nice about it. It bothers me that they politely ask and if no result, they don't follow up.
Isn't there a rule about one automobile at each site?

I hope things go well when we go back! (please, no pressure washing, please!)

Sure is! And in the 3 weeks we were there I lost count of how many dozens of times I saw that one broken - more often than not resulting in a vehicle halfway out in the road.
