datgrt@fw .... Doug 1 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I like the 1400 outer loop, especailly the few sites that back toward the meadows.Hello Ken and Judy ............. We also really like the sites in the 1400 Loop that back-up toward the meadow. In 2008 we took our pop-up (Blue Roof Inn) much cheaper on gas and were assigned site #1431. That was before they upgraded it to a premium and it is one of the biggest sites in the 1400 Loop. The next year after the loop was upgraded my wife and I traveled with my BIL and SIL and pulled his 32' Rockwood and we had hoped to get the same site but were assigned site #1433 and it was not as large but still worked out well for us.Doug / datgrt@fw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anolefan 8 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 1431 may be our favorite site at the Fort. We have only been able to grab it once. We love the 1400 loop since our children are younger, it is very convenient to the "action". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our favorite full hook-up site is also 1431and favorite partial hook-up is site 1513. We have camped many times in the 1400 Loop and have only been assigned site 1431 twice. We have been very fortunate to be able to stay in 1513 many times when we only needed a partial hook-up site.Doug / datgrt@fw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We ask everytime we arrive just for fun, and got lucky the one time. Site 1513, I'll definitely remember that site. I like the look of the 1500 loop, but we probably won't stay in a partial untl the kids are a bit older, or just for an adults visit. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jriae2000 1 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 We had 1459 in the inner loop. Not bad at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have stayed at 1455 and 1456 and liked them both. The kids enjoyed playing in the middle area of the loop. It also felt safer than the outer loop for the kids.

Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm not a big fan of the 1400 loop EXCEPT site 1431. In the almost 40 years I've been camping at the Fort, I've never been able to snag 1431! Now that it is a premium site, I probably never will. :dropjaw: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daddyphat808 - Eric 16 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Last time we were there we stayed in the 1400 loop. Great loop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hey Doug (datgrt@fw), I love the Blue Roof Inn. What did you do to accommadate the air conditioner..just cut a hole, or is it fitted somehow to avoid trapping rain water under the blue roof? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H in SC 85 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I can't remember the site #'s, but I like the first two sites in little bear. :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
datgrt@fw .... Doug 1 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hey Doug (datgrt@fw), I love the Blue Roof Inn. What did you do to accommadate the air conditioner..just cut a hole, or is it fitted somehow to avoid trapping rain water under the blue roof?Hello Ken ........ I really apologize for the very late response to your question! I have not checked out this thread in a long time as you can tell. Many years ago I purchased the biggest tarp I could find and positioned it on top of our Pop-Up and after making sure I had enough overhang all around the camper to protect it from rain and also to provide shade I marked the area for the A/C. After cutting out the hole I re-enforced the cut area with many layers of 'duct' tape! I am one of those people that believe duct tape is a good fix for many things! (I am not sure my wife agrees!) We have used this set-up many times and it has really worked out well for us! We have also used the Pop-Up without the 'Blue Roof' and the water from the A/C runs off the top of the camper the same with or without the tarp on it. It doesn't look the best but it sure provides the protection from the weather and also gives us plenty of shade all around the Pop-Up. So, if any of the Fort Fiends ever see the 'Blue Roof Inn' set-up at the Fort please stop in and say hello! Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessrick 10 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 I miss the cart path from 1400 to Meadows, but I understand why they did it. It would be nice if they made a cart path 'bypass' that goes behind the campfire/movie area & comes out by the cart parking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FortWildernessFan 10 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 We love the 1400 outerloop as well. We had 1433 in October 2010 and it is our favorite. I have to position the camper just right so both the driver side slides clear everything but we love the proximity to the campfire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
