dieseldave 5 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 We are heading to the Fort for the 1st time with our 5er and are looking for a place to stop on the way down. We will be coming from Dallas, TX via I-10 and hope to spend Saturday night somewhere around Tallahassee or closer to the Fort. Any recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla 77 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 For private campground you could try Big Oak RV (Tallahassee) and there is also a KOA in that area.In Lake City there is Oaks 'N Pines RV Park.If you prefer state parks there's Suwanee River State Park (Live Oak) and Stephen Foster State Park (White Springs).Oh, and WELCOME!!

doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 , Dave. We have stayed at the Inn & Out every trip for the 10 years. It isn't anything special but there are many restaurants nearby including Texas Roadhouse, right across the street, Red Lobster and Cracker Barrel very close by. There is also a Walmart a couple of blocks down the street for any of those last minute items you may have forgotten.If I am remembering correctly, we paid about $26 for a full hook up site. There is cable and wifi at the sites. They also have a gas station at the front of the RV park but the gas prices are terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 The Dove's Rest is right off I-10 in Marianna. Easy access off and on. Lots of food choices right there as well as a super wal-mart and lowes in case you have any last minute needs.:insanity: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Welcome to the boards hope you have a great trip. We are also from Texas but we our down on the coast. We stop here http://koa.com/campgrounds/milton/. It's just a little past Pensacola. If you want to go further the Swanne music park is about where I-10 meets I-75. I haven't stayed here but a friend of mine said we should and it's nice. http://musicliveshere.com/content/index.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dieseldave 5 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thanks everyone for the replies and the kind welcome. We will be headed towards the Fort this next Saturday and our 7 days/6 nights at the Fort starts next Sunday. This will be our 2nd time at Disney but our 1st time to take the 5er, everyone can hardly wait. I'm sure this upcoming week at work will seem to take forever to get through. :drool1: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 You will love it Fort wilderness is the best. If you can rent a golf cart or take your bikes it's a fun place to ride around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Welcome dieseldave29!!! You are going to love the Fort, and will likely never want to stay at a hotel there again. The place is just plain magical. Only one problem....you have to change you name. We already have met our quota of Dave's around here. :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NLPRacing 4 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 We are heading to the Fort for the 1st time with our 5er and are looking for a place to stop on the way down. We will be coming from Dallas, TX via I-10 and hope to spend Saturday night somewhere around Tallahassee or closer to the Fort. Any recommendations?We're leaving Arlington on Friday night when I get off work. We like to take I20 to Shreveport then south to I10. We usually just boondock somewhere near Lafayette. Have fun!

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 There is a nice YOGI BEAR JELLYSTONE in Madison which is just East of Tallahassee. Good overnight stop, right off the expressway.Also: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I live in Benbrook (southwest Fort Worth). We've made it to Milton FL the first day and it's a LONG drive. Since the camper is a popup, we opt to spend the night in a hotel so we don't have to go to the hassle of putting it up and taking it down. Just a note... there are two exits for Milton. The east one of the two has a hotel or two, but all of the restaurants are back at the first (west) Milton exit. Safe travels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 We always stay at the In and Out R V Park in Lake City every trip we make to Disney. Not really fancy but nice and easy to get to. It is close to a Wal Mart and lots of restaurants. There is a Sub Way in the same building as their office. Really cheap rates too.
