dblr....Rennie

Well glad it worked out and was something simple, (in my best Forest Gump voice) Daddy always said check the simple thigs first before you tear the hard things apart.

We have not used them (yet) but at the cost per night we have been able to find campgrounds using our Passport America that worked out better for less money, there have been quite a few You Tube channels that have stayed in them and gave decent reviews.

I have seen rv's parked at SSR but mostly motorhomes, they would kind of park at the end of a section of parling spots best they could.

Try Discount Ramps, a lot of the folks that tow with class 8 trucks (Semi's) use them for ramps to load Smart cars onto the trucks, they carry different lengths that fold and different weight catagories.

Ramps, Carriers, Lifts, & More | Discount Ramps

I was thinking they might be looking for a spot to unload from a pick-up truck possibly without ramps, so like a loading dock like Grumpy mentioned the pile of dirt. 😕

Well, the pictures look good but then so did everything on the menu at Howard Johnsons (for those old enough to remember them)

I believe they are sister parks and as a season pass holder I think we could get a discount at Dollywood. 

Yes, you are correct on sister parks, our friend is retired fromr Dollywood so one of the perks are comp tickets and we have been graced a few times with tickets to Dollywood, we will be in Branson with a RV Rally and so will he so with a little luck we might get comp tickets to Silver Dollar!!!

We have been there once and agree a very nice park, we will be in the area again this September and hope to visit the park again, but they are only open on weekends. If we get really lucky our source for Dollywood tickets told us he can also get us tickets for there!!!!

Make it a DVC Resort then jack up the price for rental. We are DVC members and will be curious to how many points these will cost, hope not as much as the bungalows or other cabins.

I believe they do have 6-seater carts but very few and they go very quick, I have heard of folks that did exactly what you wish to do. Good luck and enjoy!!!!

Carolina Crossroads is a good overnight stop, but the water hookups are goofy as in below the ground and if it rains heavy fill up with water, sites are long enough that even we could stay hooked up.

We also used Lake Harmony in Townend Ga which also nice and not far from the highway

Not sure how far each day you want to go and the 8 in your unit could be an issue but I will list who we have used heading south: KOA at Kings Dominion but that's probably too close for you, the old Yogi Bear near Emporia VA, Crossroads at Carolina, RVacation which I believe is now North Point Selma NC, Raliegh Oaks NC, South of the Border, New Green Acres, Creek Fire near Savanah. Good luck on your search

And all at the full day rate right, they could at least offer a discounted admission 

Very nice report and enjoyed following along but must admit I was wondering with your title???? Babies are quick to recover, and I am sure you and all the folks around where more afraid than the baby.

Great start, thanks for posting!!!!

Have a great time!!! We are getting ready to leave Albuquerque today at the end of the Balloon Fiesta, glad you're able to get back to the Fort

Yes, some things bugged us but, for the most park we enjoyed it. We would love to go back at Christmas and see the lights.

We did that a couple of years ago but stayed in a cabin did not tow the rv. The park opens later in the day, so a shorter operating day, the shows were very good and we enjoyed just strolling around checking out the lights and decorations.

We enjoy Dollywood Park, but some things bug me, for one I love the train ride but hate how they run it, what schedule there is only one train on the tracks and the way they board it...coral everyone together then let them all rush to get on the train, wait maybe that's practice for getting on the trolley later . The shows there are wonderful and worth trying to get to see them all, we feel probably the best theme parks shows available. Glad you enjoyed your day.

Enjoy!!!!!

We park at the Old Mill and take the trolley to Gatlinburg, makes it much easier then fighting the traffic and the cost is not that bad.

Following along and I agree there has to be a better way around Chicago.

Just back and we loved Creekside! I would recommend it.

Glad you liked Creekside, where we stay has started to upgrade their sites which will probably means also upgrade their cost. We did check out the Margaritaville campground and also The Ridge Outdoor Resort and for the cost between the two The Ridge gets our vote if we wanted something different. Riveredge RV Resort and Cabins is a smaller privately family-owned place since the 70's so we tend to favor that for us.

Dolly is ok with hopping.  In fact, it’s encouraged.
