The new section; nicely paved sites, but don’t you dare even think about putting anything on the scraggly grass:

TTO is very strict about only allowing checking in after noon. They don’t even let you line up on their entry road before then. So some people wait for noon on the highway turn lane, which risks getting ticketed by cops:

Most sites are back-in, but there are some pull-through buddy sites (that we’d avoid like the plague):

A nice thing about TTO is there is a Publix grocery store and pretty good Chinese food nearby:
