doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 First of all I like to try and check-in by 11 a.m. I can usually get right on my site at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

photogal06...Sommer 10 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Over the years, we've checked in at various times.....mid afternoon, late afternoon, late evening. We've never had our site not be ready, but we have had to wait in a long line to check in when we've hit it in the late afternoon (4-6pm.) For us, early afternoon or late night has been a lot quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caveat lector 181 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 We get there late morning. Check in doesn't take long, but I've always had to wait for my site. Head to the overflow lot, then head to the pool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 8 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 11 has always worked for us also. You will love the 800 loop we have stayed in that loop twice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 WE ARE DRAGGING A 38' FOREST RIVER FIFTH WHEELYou'll find that you'll make better time and use less gas if you put wheels on that thing instead of dragging it down here, not to mention the sparks.AND ARE PLANNING TO CAMP IN THE 800 LOOP That's a good choice if it's reopened by then.I also like the 900 loop. mouseketab.....Carol and Nicki aka Rebelstand 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.....Gary 85 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 We are in the 1300 loop, right down the road from 800. There's a LOT of digging going on in 800, might want to have a back up plan. As far as check in, we always fax a site request and have only had to wait once in the last 6-8 trips. We USUALLY get here around 10-11 AM.By the way: WELCOME!!! :clint: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 The best time to check-in is always.........RIGHT NOW!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 We've gotten onto our site as early as 8:30 am. Last trip it was 9:45. The earlier the better seems to work well for us. We'd rather wait awhile to get our specific request. And it doesn't hurt that we usually visit during a non-busy time.

disneylitch......Debbie 61 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Make sure you use the on-line check-in service. It really makes things go alot faster. We used it for our trip in September and December. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I don't worry about check in lines. We have all the fixings for Kungaloosh in the trailer. I just send FWGirl back there to mix up a batch. Sure makes the time pass and I don't even mind the dogs barking in the truck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
