Jennifer41 19 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hey Fiends.... I know this has been covered a bazillion times (I did search!) but there's just SO MUCH scattered info I thought I'd ask specifically about my situation. :) When I made my reservation I think I requested 1500 loop (I don't remember- it was in Feb). I've seen that a lot of you request specific sites & hope for the best. I'm thinking I want to do the same! We'll have my Dad's 32ft moho (with one slide out) and a 10X14 tent. Obviously we'd prefer a site that we can stake down the tent, but I'm not expecting to be able to do so. With 6 of us (even though there is "technically" sleeping space for all of us in the RV- I'd like to throw my boys (and all of our "stuff") into the tent. :laugh: Do any of you know of any specific sites I can request with room off the slab for a tent that big? Thanks in advance!! :heartsmiley: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 we have a site app that you might find helpful and many will be along soon with recommendation. sry, I can't help much since DH prefers the nice clean concrete of the premiums Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 If you have the MH you won't be on 1500 that is water&elec only, 1600-1900 are the ones you want to look at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know I told the CM we want "the works" so I'm sure you're right that I didn't request 1500. :) I'm going to have to put some QT into exploring the app! Can you tell by looking at the app how much room is off the concrete? I need more hours in my day for all of my OCD planning!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hopefully Carol, Lorna or one of the WW will chime in. A couple of the sites they had last year had large sand pads, but I don't remember the numbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Most of the full hookup sites have a decent sized sand pad. You should check your reservation though. If you reserved a partial site you can't have the motor home there. Needs to be Full hookup or better. We were on the sand pad behind a travel trailer on 1735. We had a pretty large 8 person tent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'd avoid the 1900 loop if at all possible. When it rains it is too swampy there. And a long walk to the bus stop if you're stuck in the center of the loop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had a pretty large 8 person tent We definitely reserved a premium site. I'd avoid the 1900 loop if at all possible. When it rains it is too swampy there. And a long walk to the bus stop if you're stuck in the center of the loop. Noted!! Y'all are the best... narrowing it down here.... Another thing... Dad gets super stressed if the site is hard to back the beast into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then you will be in one of these loops. 400 - Premium Pet500 - Premium Pet600 - Premium Pet700 - Premium Pet800 - Premium Pet900 - Premium Pet1000 - Premium1100 - Premium1200 - Premium1300 - Premium1400 - Premium Also the App does say the difficulty of backing into the site.

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Then the tent will be on concrete. Also true. You can probably stake down three corners if you push the tent to a corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 also do a search for Shanta's Google Earth thing... that can give you a good idea of size things... also bing bird's eye view Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Right, the premium loops do not have a sand pad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 This is from Bing. I think Shanta's Google Earth files are better though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yep...if you have a premium you won't have room enough for tent as there is little if any sand. A full hook up should do the trick. We have had our 37" RV with 1 slide out and an awning that also serves as a privacy room with no problem and there was sand.

LORNADUCK 261 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Here I am. The full hook up sites are better 1700, 1600, 1800. But last Labor Day we were in the 1300 loop, I can't remember what site but TJ and Missey put their tent behind our MH with no problem. I think there is a way to hook the tent down as long as it fits over the concrete. TJ where are U Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer41 19 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I love this! So what's the difference between premium & full hook up? I wonder if it's too late to change our ressie... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Premium is all concrete, mostly near the pool, has a bigger table, and more expensive. Full hook-up has a sand pad behind, is farthest from the Settlement (where you catch the boat to the MK), and cheapest. Preferred is basically like full hook-up but near the Settlement, so the price in between full hook-up and premium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Preferred is basically like full hook-up but near the Settlement, so the price in between full hook-up and premium.And sites are "Much" closer together and most are smaller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer41 19 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 And sites are "Much" closer together and most are smaller. Are you talking about the premium sites? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Are you talking about the premium sites? I think she's talking about preferred. The premium sites are the biggest, but they are all concrete, no sand pad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 This should help you.... http://www.fortfiends.net/_/accomodations/loop-information/site-classifications-r61 BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I think he's talking about preferred. .Correct. The preferred sites (100, 200, 300) are some of the original full hook-up sites and as such are the smallest and closest together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 150 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 We always have a tent on premiums. Stake one corner then use plastic heavy duty water bags around the inside to weight down the rest. Works great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
