Perhaps I missed a comment to this effect along the way, but was there a massive spike in prices initiated for 2018? We are just approaching our first trip (and likely only FW trip for quite some time), so I have little basis for comparison, but we are paying $100/n for a premium site over Halloween this year. The numbers being thrown around here surprised me and caused me to look, finding that even lower demand weeks (early November, early May, etc...) are up to over $135 per night for a premium. That seems like a huge jump from what we are paying this year. Is there something I'm missing

My wife and I have been a least 4 times without the kids over the last 10 years. They get their turns, we like having ours every once in a while! Nothing wrong with it.

Allow me to ask one follow-up question... I will be covering about 550 miles on some of these days, and on one day will lose an hour due to the time zone. Do you all have experience with many of these campgrounds with late arrivals. With it being the offseason, and a strong possibility that I may not show up until 8 or 9pm, do I need to worry about showing up after registrations offices are closed, or can I assume that everyone will have some sort of system in place for late arrivals? I've never faced this issue before, so I'm not sure what I can depend on. Thanks!

I am hauling my trailer down in late October so that the DW and kids can fly down and meet me there for 9 nights. I am driving from SE Wisconsin (I-65 to Chattanooga, I-75 the rest of the way). I'm planning to divide the 1,300 miles into 2.5 days each way. So, I'm looking for stopovers. I'm hoping for places that are not too far off the interstate, with easy pull-throughs (I'll be alone and arriving after dark). Here are the general areas (there is some flex)... 1) Louisville, KY area 2) Tifton, GA area (I saw some references to getting down to Valdosta, bu

Thanks for the info, everyone - we are looking forward to it. Hopefully we can meet some Fiends along the way!

We are extremely excited that a 7-year dream of hauling our camper down to the Fort will finally come to fruition over Halloween this fall (with our kids - 12, 11 and 8). With this in mind, however, I'm looking far any tips and tricks I can get about Halloween... How much candy should we bring along (I've been reading horror stories about all of the non FW guests and locals crashing the events)? Is it the general practice that one parent stays back to distribute while the other escorts the kids? Do we need to line up early to be able to see the cart parade? Are there a

I truly hope this is true. We have been dreaming of getting our trailer to FW for 7 years, and have finally found a way to do it next year - with the intentional plan of being there for Halloween and allowing the kids to ToT at the campground that day. It would be really disappointing for them to miss Halloween at home and not be able to ToT at FW.
