My shortest comments:
Basically, it was a nice park. A little too wide open for my tastes in most of the areas. I definitely like the D-loop. Ironically, I was talking to someone else on another forum and he made the comment of, "Oh, you were *way* back there?"
I felt like we tripped the 30amp breaker really easy. Easier than I expected. It made me wonder if it wasn't a full 30amps or something. But, it was also our first time in this 50amp camper on a 30amp site. I'm betting more than not that we were the problem.
Otherwise, lots of activities going on. The rec. center had more people in it than I've ever seen at other parks. The pools looked nice and clean.
The drive to/from the parks was pretty painful each day.
For me, being a TT member, it's hard to pay for a campground when that's already paid for.
The Orlando Preserve is a pretty big park that will be worthy of its own review in another blog post. But, my first broad stroke review is it was nice. There were camping areas that were fairly wooded with vegetation around and between the sites for privacy and there were camping areas that were fairly wide open with paved pads giving you the choice of what kind of camping that you wanted. Two pools and a variety of amenities. My daughter, father-in-law and I enjoyed playing duck pin bowling. My only complaint was that the 50amp sites were fairly limited and especially so in the "D"-loop where we were. In the winter, it wasn't a problem. In the middle of summer, it could be a challenge.
