DISNEY'S FORT WILDERNESS RESORT AND CAMPGROUND

Big fan of this campground, one of the fanciest around, and obviously the convenience of being on-property at Disney can't be beat. It is as expensive as camping gets but this is the least expensive way to get the benefits of staying on-property (Disney transportation, early entry, early access to book individual Lightening Lane reservations, etc). We came here during the height of the pandemic (April 2021) and stayed on the campground property most of the trip (we did not visit a theme park). It was a budget way to experience some of the Disney magic without the extraordinary cost of admission to the park. The water slide and pool area were a big hit for our (then) 4 and 8 year-olds. A cast member overheard us lamenting that we couldn't go to the parks and a bit later stopped by our campsite with toys and notes from Goofy and Minnie for the kids. This is the kind of thing that only happens at Disney!
We booked a week-long spring break trip this year and have been saving to hit the parks this time. One thing we plan to try (wasn't available on our last visit) is the Minnie Van service where they pick you up at your campsite and take you directly to the Magic Kingdom entrance. Will update this review on that and any other details from our trip later in 2024..
Can't wait to return to Fort Wilderness!

Amazing campground with lots to do (even without Disney tickets). My family loves coming here!

Worst experience ever! Their staff driving golf carts playing “park police” at rv park was ridiculous!!! The ‘gate guards’ made it more difficult to enter than Fort Knox! And no consistency whatsoever!!!! One guard would say we don’t care about your paper car tag, next one insists he had to see it. They told our friends to wait up front and said we had to go get them… we’re in a 43 foot class A, there’s no “going up to front to get them”!!! (Bypass this by saying “sure” and go through parking lot but keep driving to rv spot). Then we got a notice on our rental car bc it touched the landscape (tree limbs or grass) but also if ANY part of the vehicle touched the road we had to move it. Told we could park down street by restrooms, but nope, next park cop said no! The ONLY allowed overflow parking is up front by office… we were on far side of park… over a mile into the park…The lots are small in width, insisted when I made the reservation on how large we were and they said they said all sites would fit us… except the site they put us in. Real RVers like us know how a park should run and this one isn’t it, will never stay here again!

Great place to take your family. Nice bath houses and activities, pool, crafts, fireworks, movie every night with s’mores. just awesome place hope to go back soon.
