We use 550 cord between trees and then use carabiners on the end of their leashes to hook them up to the 550 cord. Works great and they can move around a bit better.
We have the 228 without the slide out dinette. We love the floorplan and it works great for us. We bought ours new in 2011. We have fit 5 kids and 2 adults and 2 dogs in it. Even in stormy weather being stuck in it is still comfortable. We love it and plan on keeping it a few more years...
Arrived home last night from our wonderful trip to Disney world. We stayed in Fort Wilderness in Loop 1500 at site 1516. What a great campground. I camped here in the late 70s and early 80s with my parents and boy have things changed!!! Best thing about loop 1500 was that it was right...
We just left Ft. Wilderness this morning! [:D]Had a great time! We were in site 1516, and 1517 in Loop 1500. Loved that loop since we were right next to the pool area, campfire sing along and Trading post. ENJOY!!! And welcome to the portal!
We will be in Fort Wilderness from Sept.13-19th. Looking forward to the adventure! I haven't been since I was a kid. My parents will be joining us with their popup too. When we called for reservations we were unable to reserve a specific site but we did ask to be next to each other and if...
Welcome to the portal! We are also a Marine family living and stationed in eastern NC and buying a popup was one of the best things we ever did. Its a great way to take a quick weekend vacation with out much planning. As you know you can't always plan too far ahead in the Military. :)Some of...
We bought a popup with a toilet in it specifically because we had young kids and one who was still being potty trained. Four years later and we still love having a toilet in our pup. We do not do #2 in it. Just a personal choice. Has come in handy many a cold, wet night or a hot, buggy...
I used to work at North South Lake as a booth girl then Park Ranger with my twin sister during the mid 90's. I am from the area and really miss it. I go back every summer for a few weeks to my parents who still live on the mountain top. Whenever we are up there we always see tons of popups...
We must have been good campers this year because we received a very nice portable honda generator from my parents. And I bought a spare sleeping bag to have in our camper when my girls bring friends along. I had popup5 monogrammed on the bag too. [:D] My husbands father gave us a really fun...
Just wanted to update everyone on our thanksgiving meal. It was a huge success!!! We took 2 large turkey breasts and wrapped them in bacon and cooked them in our dutch oven. I pre cooked sausage, onion and apples for my stuffing and combined it at the campsite with a bag of breadcrumbs and...
We just spent 3 days for Thanksgiving here and loved it. Stayed at site 32 and the park was nice and quiet and very well maintained. Bathrooms were some of the best kept that we have stayed at. We loved the hiking trails and did 5 miles of hiking while we were there. We are already planning...
WE ARE!!! Our first holiday out camping and we are super excited!!! [:D] We are going to cook a turkey breast in our dutch oven and I plan on making green bean casserole and stuffing in crock pots. Looking forward to a fun time. Hope you guys have a great time too!! Happy Camping [CP]
We bought a popup because of my camping memories. I grew up camping in one and wanted my husband and kids to have the same happy memories that I did. As soon as we walked into the first pup we looked at the memories all came pouring back with the distinct smell that popups have. We went...
We have reservations for Medoc Mountain for Thanksgiving and will have electricity. I am planning on bringing 2 crock pots and our dutch oven. We are going to smoke a turkey breast too. I am trying to figure out what sides to make. Mashed potatoes are a must along with green bean casserole...
