cindymac11 43 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'd like to recommend the Mississippi Welcome Center near Stennis Space Center as a great place to grab some ZZZs on the way to the Fort if you are down south! There are ample pull thru RV slots back away from all the 18-wheelers so it is quieter than you would expect (although certainly not silent). Onsite security is visible in a golf cart. Nothing like a free nights sleep! Cheers! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Memphis 105 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 :welcome2: Wow that is nice. I have never seen this kind of setup at a rest area. Looks like exit 2 on I-10 then south for a couple blocks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 150 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 That is a nice rest area. Welcome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Any elec. hook up by chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cindymac11 43 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 That is the only down side - - - no electricity. But you can't beat the ease of pulling in and catching a few hours of sleep before hitting the road again. We stayed there going and coming...probably saved us $100. And this cheapo loves that! :jumpforjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I didn't think there would be any Elec. hook ups but it looks like a campsite. Another reason I have been thinking of a motorhome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Welcome Cindy and family. We're not from Texas, but know some who are, if that gains us any points. I guess we'll miss you this trip as we'll be at the Fort in early December thru early Jan. Get you a sign from AuburnJen so other Fiends can find you there. There will likely be a thread that you can post your site number so you can receive a visit from everybody's favorite former bus driver, Lou. He's a cranky old coot, with a heart of gold. He is attracted to apple pies and often has a spike from the old Fort Railroad for new members (a treasured momento). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was so happy to find other Disney/Fort Wilderness fanatics! We are looking forward to meeting some of the Fiends in person! Husband and I were just talking about making sure we ordered a sign before our trip out in November. I am also working on a wooden sign that I am using my limited skill to paint Musket Mickey on...our campsite was to bare last time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
