Long Key SP, Fla Keys: Res boo-boo & Class B RV in Tent-only
I managed to find 6 nights here in January when someone else cancelled, and had done a search specifically for an RV site; when the availability came up (after weeks of checking), naturally, I snagged it. However, after getting my confirmation email, I saw that the reservation was for a tent site only.
This is the search features mistake, not mine, but I don't think that matters one wit, since I called the campground directly and they said that (to paraphrase) that I wouldn't be comfortable with my rv in site 2 (listed with a 15 ft max vehicle limit, and for 2 persons only),
FWIW, I will have a 19 ft rv, and I am, of course, very reluctant to cancel my reservation since they're so hard to get, and I thought of 2 solutions:
1. Go down and give it a shot with the 19 ft rv (they didn't say NO difinitively),
and / or
2. Park the rig in the overflow parking area (which I understand is about as far as one can be from site 2...seems it's past site 60, which has me confused too, since I could have sworn there were only 57 sites) and use tent gear at the site.
Of course, I'll keep looking for another cancellation and NOT rely on the search feature, but rather read the fine print as quickly as I can to nab a new cancellation.
But is anyone here familiar with Site 2? Do you think a 19 foot vehicle would fit there? And do you know how far the overflow parking is from site 2 (the person I spoke to didn't know, just said "far").
Any ideas to make this work would be appreciated.
