Shaelyn Remick Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 So what is the norm? Many of our shipmates and crew plan to attend this year (more so since we're making it our offical honeymoon!) and I've been wondering what the norm is. Do most stay in hotels? Do they have Camping? Are they're "Rules" or "Requirements" if you do camp? LOL, yeah it's an idiot question but I figure I best ask it now rather then later. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I'd rather sleep inside th' fort than spend the money for a hotel room (and have to walk so far......) I can "tote" a bed roll. and the lean-to.. (just have to buy some 2x2's and shave them dowm..... for tent poles (kinda hard to fly with) but inside Ft. Taylor is sheltered.......beautifull camping....... (the beach was cool also....) It would be cool if we could "camp" inside the Fort.... <Still going to go even if I can't camp inside th'Fort....> (Wot if Ft. Taylor, charges a "special event fee" of $20 per night to camp there ?(inside or outside the Fort) still cheaper than a hotel room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callenish gunner Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 there is a campground on the key but the rates are the same as a midrange motel anywhere else $65+ a night and the sites are quite small and you pay by the head as well .....

There is a good hardware store available where you can get wood for tent poles if need be. I'll be happy to take you there when you arrive. >>>>> Cascabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatross Bill Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 So the merchants can stay in their tents in the Fort? And the merchant area is grass and not pavement, right? (I don't want to haul that big-arse Panther Pavilion all the way to Key West and then not be able to put it up!) Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean that they're not after me.

William Brand Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Where can one camp in the fort? Does one camp on the grounds? Is there cover of any sort. I've never been there so I was wondering if someone can explain the layout and the camping possiblities? Where would one shower? What facilities are available to the camping pirate? Pictures? -W.R.W.

Patrick Hand Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Like I typed eairler..... It would be "cool" if we could camp inside the fort, but I don't know if we can or not........ I would like to camp because it would be cheaper, and a lot of fun (aaargh... all the other pyrates...)....... I don't know about the merchants........ But it would be cool, if there was a (say only) $20.00 per night (only for the weekend) so Pyrates could camp inside the fort for the weekend....... Don't know..... and I don't know anyone at Fort Taylor to find out............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Well. Let it be a mission between us to find out who we should speak with at the fort on the matter. It would be a joy to stay within the walls of the fort and tell stories late into the night. -W.R.W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
