Our first time at the Fort in 2012. We got into the area and went right to Sea World with our TT (Coachmen Capri 27TBS) to spend the day there. They do have space to park the RVs and such (where buses also park). Anyway, we spent a day at Sea World and then came back to the Fort to check in. No real issues checking in (other than they put us in Preferred rather than Premium, but that's a whole other story). We got our site assignment (in the 300 loop) and trying to get our rig in to position, in the dark, with people at their sites and cars/trucks/carts overflowing it made it challenging but not impossible.Premium site booked for April 23-30. Requesting 800 loop. We'll be rolling in after dark so keeping our fingers crossed for getting it.
We were one of those (on this trip) that people would sit back and "Watch". The site we had (I forget the actual number, I think it was like 308) was tight anyway, but because the surrounding sites seemed to all have extra vehicles didn't help. Plus my DW still doesn't understand that if I can't see her in the mirror, that I can't see which way she is waving me to go, particularly in the DARK.
Alas we got it in without too much difficulty, all things considered. A better look in the morning and I realized I did a stellar job in locating it. It just took longer than I really wanted.
All that to say that depending on the size of your rig, the "Drivers" ability to handle it, (assuming they have a good idea of what to do), and the "Neighbors" ability to keep their vehicles/equipment contained on their site, you should probably be okay.
Our next trip down will be even more interesting for us. Going from the Coachmen Capri 27TBS to a Coachmen Catalina 343QBDS (Queen beds in front and rear) will be more fun. I think from tail of trailer to tip of Truck, I will be close to 60 feet long. (Yikes! ). I am super excited though.
With the Premium site you should be okay, so I hope no issues and safe travels to you. Kind of Jealous.... I have to wait until August!
