not sure but if someone had the site night before you arrive they have until 11 am to check out. as you say takes you longer to set up but person ahead of you has the right until 11We're going to be driving from Philly to the Fort which GPS puts us at about 15 hrs. Planning on leaving early Saturday morning to get a lot of hours in before stopping at a hotel that night. We don't want to have more than a couple hours drive time before arriving at FW on Sunday. Is early check-in a possibility? What do you think are our chances of being able to get our site before 1? We're just using tents so the more time the better to set up
Or longer. It's not like they have someone checking every site at 11 to make sure they are out. What it is, is that they have some CM's cleaning/prepping the site for the next guest, so if you are not out at 11 and they are not working in that area and won't get there until Noon, then you could conceivably be there past 11.not sure but if someone had the site night before you arrive they have until 11 am to check out. as you say takes you longer to set up but person ahead of you has the right until 11
Djt we are just south of you in De. My GPS says 15 hours as well but somehow it never takes into account pesky things like Potty, fuel, and food needs. Nor is weather and traffic accounted for. ( At work we went from Down state location to Latrobe Pa once and GPS said 8hrs. Rush hour at DC and Bmore plus blinding rainstorm made it closer to 12 ) Our trip with 2 adults 60+ 3 dogs ( 1 13yrs other 2 1yr ) has us stopping every 2 to 3 hours for a walk around and potty call. I try to do fuel about every 300 miles Coach gets 8.5 mpg So add that time as but at that time our 2 dogs were both 10 and better in coach than younger 2. Day 3 we do stop very early in Jacksonville Campground has lots of nice amenities and a WallyWorld less than a mile away. We stay here 2 or 3 nights so everyone can calm down ( Our 2 cats spend the drive times hiding in the space between bed and floor of the slider and need a day or two to fully adjust to ADVENTURING times and conditions.We're going to be driving from Philly to the Fort which GPS puts us at about 15 hrs.

Reading this I had to laugh. we too had planned to leave at 8 am but out one cat learned that the International Hide and go Seek Championship was our departure day and well he won. Four times we searched the house before we found him in the springs under my wife's Lazy Boy. Next year he goes out firstI am late reporting back, but better late than never. We left home January 2nd, later than we had wanted to. We aimed to get on the road by 8am, but pulled out at 10:30am. We drove it straight through from WI to the Fort, but we took turns driving. I'll drive in the desolate areas, he hits the bigger cities. It wasn't that bad. We have a toddler and it was just easier to get the miles in while she was sleeping. We stopped in South Georgia and slept in the truck for a few hours while it rained heavily. After that, we were energized and saw it theough. Before we got to the Fort, we grocery shopped in Ocala and filled up on ice and provisions. Checked in a little after 2pm and got set up fairly quickly. I won't say I didn't melt into my bed later that night, but we both felt fine the next day. In fact, we said we'd do it again!
