Long time lurker first time trip report. This trip was my husband, 17 year old son, 13 year old niece and, me.

We left Wisconsin on August 9th about 2:30 in the afternoon. We bought a used pop up last summer after a not so fun time tenting it last year.

We drove pretty much straight thru stopped at Lanes in Georgia loaded up with peaches and pecans and arrived at the Fort about 5pm on Thursday.

We played the lane guessing game and waited about 20 min felt like forever. We got number 2004 asked about 1500 loop and got a sorry it's full.

Ok we brought bikes we will make this work! Ok so lots of empty spots around us nice but not so fast. A about 8 cars pull up and take three spots right in front us. About 20 people get out. A call to the front desk to see if by some chance a spot has opened up in 1500 no luck.

Ok sent kids to the pool and started to crank up pop but wait why is one side not moving?

Ok so about a hour later and my husband about dying of heat stroke he fixed it. Good thing he always brings his tool chest with.

Kids get back and off we go to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. We don't have any here and we like to fill up after sandwiches for 2 days.

Get back and see a car parked half in the road across the street and security is telling them to move it hear them say we will just put it here on the grass area.

Security says no move it to overflow and they leave. No one moves it about 10 min later security comes back and says move it again and waits till they move it.

Glad to see them checking on this. We where so exhausted by this time we went right to sleep.

Next up Animal Kingdom.

It is right next door to dino world. We did not stop at any attractions so can't say for sure the distance to the cave.

They are changing the entrance to the park but I don't think it was far at all.

Thanks for the welcome! Long time lurker.

We stayed at the Jelly stone park. Really a nice place 2 pools, splash pad, waterslide, mini golf, 2 playgrounds and kids activities.

Bath houses could get up dated but where clean. They are in the process of digging a lake to add more water activities!

Very close to a lot of attractions!

Double J campground right outside Springfield clean bath houses lots to do for kids all pull thru sites,

friendly staff. Only negative sites are close.
