I wish I had pictures of tent camping at FtW...
Wait, I do, but they're from when I was 4.
Lets see 'em!

I've really enjoyed this thread. We're going in Feb for two weeks and have got a lot of terrific ideas. I have a couple of questions-
We're staying on the 700 loop- sharing a site (preferred) with my inlaws. They have a huge RV and we will be pitching our 15x10 Cougar Flats tent on the sand pit. Will there be room to pitch a shelter as well? We won't have to have nearly the set up as some as we have the DDP and won't be eating too much at camp. I do want a comfy set up though...
That is really unpredictable. I've seen preferred sites with large sand areas, and I've seen preferred sites with really tiny sand areas.
Also- I've noticed some of you have lots of electronic stuff (fridges, microwaves, crockpots, and such) under screened shelters. Is that safe? The rain won't ruin the electronics or cause electrocution? (please excuse me if that is a silly question).
I've never had a problem. I make sure I use outdoor rated extension cords and if it is supposed to rain really bad, I actually unplug and cover the electronics with a tarp.
We're planning on doing a lot of camping with our two little boys since we're on a tight budget and that is the most economical way to have family vacations and quality family time. This thread is really helpful for ANY camping trip.. especially with little ones.
Hey, tenters, where are you??
Ok, ok, so I contributed to the off topic but it had nothing to do with White Castle or Krystal. I guess I'll rectify it and put it back on topic
Here's another angle of site 1501: (notice the screen house is slightly off the pad, not a large area).
Great pics!!!
DH just told me he would tent camp during our next trip!!! Yeah!!!
Tell me about the comfort stations. Does anyone have pics to post?
I just returned from 7 nights at the fort and it was amazing. We had three families on our site and erected 4 tents plus three gazebos. We had site 2025 and it was perfect. It's located right along a curve in the road and seemed super spacious. We used the driveway area as well but still had room for one car and the golf cart. I'll see if I have pictures I can post. I didn't think to take any until we were down to just 2 1/2 tents but maybe another family has some. I miss the fort already.
How does it work if you put more than one tent per site? Do they charge per person, per site or per tent? Would love to go camping...
