Yet another query about the campsite.

Looking at the ReserveAmerica website for the portal camping, each campsite has a little icon. the one with a pull trailer is called "family standard," while the one with a little tent is called "family tent."

does anyone know the true difference between the two? we don't want to book a trailer site that is completely paved.

we have 6 people, 2 cars, and 3 tents and we like #17 but it's a trailer icon. we would hate to make a mistake. thanks much.

Norweejunwood - just book your reservation... it's only one night, how are you going to "make a mistake"? There are 13 sites left for July 28th, and these will be booking as fast as people get their permit confirmations.

Site #44 is still available for that date (or was when I checked),book it... it's a great spot, trust me.

thanks for the push. booked 17 last night. hope this will be the first of many.
