Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 We will be at the Fort Dec. 8th-14th I would like to bring our golf cart but the only way I have to get it there is n a 16ft trailer. Is there anyplace at the Fort to park it that would be out of the way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Yes, there is a parking lot at the front of the campground where you can drop the trailer. You will need to request an extra parking pass. (They will give you a ziploc bag and a cable tie to secure the pass to your trailer). As a matter of fact, it might be easier to drive straight to that front lot, unload the golf cart, and drop and lock the trailer, then drive the cart back to your campsite. 5kidsmommy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 There have been trailers stolen from the overflow lot in the past. We always took ours to the site with us. Depending on your total length and what type of site you have, you may have room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Thank you for the information, we will have to see when we get up there what we have as far as space for the TT and GC trailer. I'll be taking the TT up the day before the GC comes up. Will be sure to lock it up good if it has to go into the overflow lot. Just wasn't sure if it was frowned upon leaving it there for a week.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 No problem leaving your trailer in the overflow lot. A couple of trips ago we had an idiot CM at check-in who told us trailers weren't allowed on individual sites. She found out she was wrong after we had words and she called someone higher up. On a premium site you should have no trouble fitting your trailer. On many full hookup sites you won't have any trouble either. That's based on my experience of combined moho/trailer length of 60'. A thought ... if you're concerned about the safety of your trailer, could you leave the vehicle in overflow and bring the trailer to your site? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 We are booked for a premium site (hoping a preferred opens up) so we should have plenty of room for it on our site. Will just have to see when we get there and when I find out if we will have tent as well or not. Is there room in the overflow lot to leave the trailer attached to the SUV that will be towing it up? I don't want to take up to much room in the overflow lot but we will not need the second car once we are on property. The only reason for it coming up is to bring the golf cart and accommodate different arrival and departure times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigTom 76 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I always leave mine locked to TV in overflow lot and had no problems. Make sure you get the parking pass for the trailer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 You will also be very crowded if you have two vehicles on your site. (Also, technically, it is still a rule only one vehicle at your site, even though it is totally unenforced) I would most definitely leave it on the tow vehicle in the overflow. There are long spots for that purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 We have a 38' RV and a 12' trailer and we have always been able to fit both on our campsite. We even have lots of room left to decorate the campsite. We should check in on the 9th.....maybe we will see you there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 It sounds like you will have to leave the TV and trailer in overflow. Unless you have a very small TT you will not have room for a TV, TT, second TV, and a 16' trailer especially if you are hoping to get a preferred site. The preferred sites are some of the smallest in the campground. Personally, I would stick with the premium site and ask to be in 400, 500, or the 700 loop. All are fairly close to the marina. However since you will have a golf cart any of the premium sites would be a short ride to the marina. I would have no fear leaving a trailer locked to a TV in the overflow lot. If a thief should come around there will be much easier targets in the lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim5055 120 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 If you leave the trailer without it being locked to the TV, buy a wheel lock for the trailer:http://www.etrailer.com/Locks/Fulton/FTK1000100.htmlThis is just an example, there are several out there.

Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 We do have a small tt but it will be there before the golf cart so we will probably end up leaving the TV and trailer in overflow. We are hoping for and I'll put in my request for the 500 loop if we don't find a preferred. Hoping to get close to the dog park. Judy, we are hoping to meet some of the fiends while we are there. Tim, thanks for the link might not use it this trip but looks good to have on hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim5055 120 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Tim, thanks for the link might not use it this trip but looks good to have on hand. Anytime. Get a few tickets in DC that you don't pay and you will find one of them on your car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
