IMO the 1500 loop is better because of it's proximity to the Meadows. The main pool, tennis courts, Meadows Trading Post, Campfire/Movies and Bike Barn are all easy walking distance from it. You'll be about 1/2 way back in the campgrounds so I've found busses from there not inconvienient. The only advantage I can see to the 2000 loop is that it will be slightly quieter there and it's reasonably close to the pool by the cabins. Its a big hike to the Settlement area by bus IMO. It's not as easy to get to the Meadows from there as well as the 1500 loop (there **IS** a shortcut path thru the group camping area and the 900 loop to the Meadows but it's unlit at night).
