ependydad...Doug 176 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ok- my wife and I are trying to sneak away for a long Memorial Day weekend. But the costs are adding up- it is making me wonder if I can squeeze a big rig (42' fifth wheel) into a full hookup site? Has anyone done it? Or am I just looking at angst and heartache getting parked? Beckers and Cortezcapt (Derek) 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Lot's of rigs that size are/have been in FH sites. Just make sure the size is noted on your reservation and follow up with the faxed request 5 days before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think you will be fine. Our first trip with our moho we were on 1903 and had plenty of room for the moho and a Jeep Liberty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thanks, Grumpy and Grandma- we were able to fit onto a Preferred site. It seems that the preferreds and full hookup sites are functionally equivalent- the designation just has to do with the location of the sites in the campground. Though, being a worrier- with it being a holiday weekend and we'd arrive Thursday, I do wonder if other people's cars are going to be a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 740 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Actually the FH are roomier since the sites are a little further apart in most cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Plenty of room on most of the sites.This is in the 1700 loop. 40' and a truck fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ependydad...Doug 176 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Are there walkways from the back of the full hookup sites to the outpost (that's up front, right?)? Or how is the walk from the loop to the buses up front? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yes, there is a sidewalk that runs from the exit of the "cloverleaf" throughout the campground. When you get to the 1600-1900 Bus Stop, hang a left at the sidewalk, then take the next sidewalk going left just before the 4-way stop, and it goes all the way to the outpost. Probably 1/2 mile. Within the 4 loops and the internal road to the bus stop, there are not sidewalks, just loop roadway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 If you got into a preferred site then FH should be much easier. When the old FH sites were turned into the now premium very few sites were lengthened. They just paved over the pad, added about 2' or so to the width and widened the entrance. They also changed out the grills and picnic tables. There are longer and shorter sites in all level of campsites. They are laid out by the lay of the land so to speak. As others have said just be sure to disclose your rigs size when booking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ok- my wife and I are trying to sneak away for a long Memorial Day weekend. But the costs are adding up- it is making me wonder if I can squeeze a big rig (42' fifth wheel) into a full hookup site? Has anyone done it? Or am I just looking at angst and heartache getting parked? We had our 5er (42') in the 1800 loop last May and I would do it again if I had to. I had the exactly 10' from the back of the 5er to the back of the sand pad, the easy up was a perfect fit. I did have to park the truck off to the side to gain a little room, but was sure not to violate any rules by putting any tire in the grass dirt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks everyone. Apparently it was all for naught as I'm a sucker for being close to the boats. We booked a "Preferred" site (thanks JASON!). Cyclonic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
