Fort Wilderness Campgrounds

Amazing! We really enjoyed our stay at such a well-​kept campground. Only downfall was the transportation to the parks. We decided to drive after waiting for buses to the outpost then to the parks. Other than that, we love fort wilderness and will be back!

I hope someone from Disney is monitoring this. This is quite possibly the most revolting lack of non-​food cleanliness anywhere I have seen in a guest area. This is what the majority of the life vests look like at the campground dock — a thick skin of encrusted black mildew almost completely covering the entire surface. Who wants to put these on and hop in that dirty lake water? At the prices Disney charges for everything, they could at least clean these repulsive things once in a while.

I love this campground! Its great for the whole family. There is so much to do and the park is always well kept and the spaces are nice. I did stay in the cabins one time and that was alot of fun too. The cabins are clean and room. We had 6 people and it was comfortable all in 1 cabin.
The location of the park i love. The parks are easy to get too, we usually take the boats to the park and its a nice ride on the lake. The campground also has the hoop dee doo revue dinner show on the property. The show is great, ill review that in its own page later.
The park is large and the campground offers golf cart rentals to get around. There is a fee but its worth the rental.
I highly recommend this campground and can not wait until we go back.

My family and I stayed in a cabin the week between Christmas and New Year. Best campground I’ve been in. Also the biggest.
Around this time of year, the campers decorate their sites. Over the top decorations, not just some lights. I wish we had scheduled some time and could have rented a golf cart to take the kids around to see the lights.
There is a lot to do at the resort — boat rental, bike/​running paths, wagon rides, sleigh rides, beach, pools, and horseback riding. Next time, we’re going to schedule time to explore the resort a bit more.
Everything was super clean and well kept. They have continuous internal busses that go through the campground and to the two transportation points.
The stores/​restaurants are not open as late as the parks (10 pm) so if you are hungry or need anything when you come back, nothing is open. They have mostly gift shop stuff, some food items, beer, wine and not a lot of camping needs.
Everything you need is provided in the cabin except measuring spoons and a nozzle for the provided hose outside.
Happy camping!

We are here to see hoop De Doo review. saw the show 3 years ago and excited to see it again. don’t forget the yummy food.

Frank and I have been rv’ing for about 5 years now, and I have to say after traveling the east and midwest states of the country Fort Wilderness continues to be the campground by which we measure all campgrounds in the United States. Fort Wilderness is clean — like spotless clean — it has a forest look yet sits in the middle of a major metropolitan city. I cannot say enough good things. We love being able to ride all over the property on a golf cart. It adds to our experience.
We also love having Trails End as a dining option, along with Hoop-​Dee-​Doo. The Trading Post is very well stocked for any emergencies. All in all, Fort Wilderness is just an amazing place for our glamping lifestyle.
I highly recommend this campground for anyone visiting Walt Disney World.
Ps. We also love watching WISHES from the marina with the wishes music playing around us.

I’m giving this 3 stars because I thought it was really fun but thought it could be better. I shared a room with 5 other people which was a mistake. The cabins were tiny and didn’t feel like a «Disney» hotel. The actual grounds were really cool and fun. I highly recommend the Trails End buffet! I’ve only had the breakfast and it was fantastic. I haven’t tried the dinner but I’ve heard it was delicious.

Awesome place, so beautiful and luxury feeling, really quiet, lots of things for kids to do, 2 different swimming pools, many playgrounds, tennis, volleyball, water slides, fishing, arcade games, A/​C laundry facility, nice general store, (2) they have golf cart rentals for $ 68.00 a day everyone in the campground are so very nice and help full!!! We will be coming back!!!

Stayed 5 nights in travel trailer with our 7 year old grandson. Nice rv park. Check in was easy. Didn’t have to get out. just checked us in as we pulled in through the main gate. Went to the pool the day we arrived They had games in the afternoon. Our 7 year old was not very interested in them. Small slide. Basic pool. I think I was expecting more like what the big Disney resorts have. Very convenient and easy to get around. We rode our bikes to the marina to see the fireworks from Magic Kingdom, and to catch the boat to magic kingdom. Short wait times for boat. There is a beach from which we watched the fireworks.
Used the shuttle service to get to the buses to Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Disney Studios. Short wait time. Very easy to use.
Enjoyed the evening singalong and marshmallows over the fire. BRING your own marshmallows, chocolate, Graham crackers. They sell all that, but at high prices. They also sell sticks to roast the marshmallows for 63 cents. Which is a great price, but you have to stand in the long concession line, manned by one guy. And it took us quite awhile to figure all of that out. Should have brought our own.
Laundry was clean and easy to use. Dryers worked with just one cycle. Bathrooms were clean. Small arcade near pool. We were at the theme peaks all the other days, so err did not use any other amenities.
Overall, would stay here again.

This is one of the most well thought out campgrounds I have been to. The sites are well maintained, they have an organized eating area and a fire pit in each campsite. They supply BBQ’s but they are so dirty I don’t think anyone would use them. The bathrooms are great and having the bus right there is very convenient. The restaurant is really good, the kids love the mickey mouse shaped waffles. The pool is great and the buses really help, especially if you’re going to a park.
The only real complaint I have about the facility is the speed boats are so slow that you can’t really get anywhere and they have security constantly screaming at you to get away from the ferries. I was actually told I had to choose between being towed back or escorted back and had to endure being escorted by a boat with lights swirling while limping back in this underpowered boat in front of my kids. In my opinion they should just pack that whole idea in and get some kayaks and paddle boards.
My main complaint is one that may surprise most. Disney is usually really careful about security and rules. You typically feel safe wherever you go in Disney. We stayed with a group for Mother’s Day weekend and our trip was ruined by a massive group that broke most of the rules.
They actually had a noisy generator running all night, which was probably a good thing because they must have had about 4 times the number of people allowed in an individual site. They were screaming and cooking at 2:00 in the morning and someone actually slept in their car with the engine running about 10 feet from my tent! They had electric chords running from their site to the bathroom and they had lights that you only see at an airport or a Broadway show. They were slamming the trunk and car doors next to our site all night long too.
On Sunday, they left an unattended running car next to our cub scout troop with rap music blasting and finally turned it down when we pointed out that the cursing was inappropriate for some of the cub scouts that were nearby. They must have had 40 kids with them, but it was ok for them.
I guess any camp site can be hit or miss, but I can say with certainty that nobody from Disney was in the campgrounds that entire weekend. If they were, they certainly didn’t do their job well.
Again, this is a really well thought out campground but we won’t be back. The amount of effort and cost that went into bringing our troop up there was not worth it at all. I wonder why Disney left us to fend for ourselves. I wouldn’t go there with families or little kids. Disney could have hit this one out of the park, but they seemed to be occupied with something else. I guess they made extra money letting a ridiculous number of people rent one site.
If you think I just didn’t notice them there than maybe I also didn’t notice the two guys that grabbed the alligator out of the creek, muzzled it with duct tape and rode around with it in their golf cart without being stopped.
I didn’t enjoy my last trip to Fort Wilderness

Our family camps at Fort Wilderness every year for 10 days. I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else on Disney property. My husband and I stay with our two kids one dog and two cats. The leash-​free dog park is a great way to wear the dog out every morning. We always rent a golf cart because the property is so large. I love the laid back feel of the resort. It is so relaxing after such a busy day at the parks. The pool is great. The movies by the campfire are the best! The best way to camp at Disney.

We just spent 2012 New Years on site and had a great time. Check In was easy and friendly… and when we arrived we were directed where to go and given lots of info on how to optomize our visit! By staying on property here at Disney, you get that special Disney service throughout the campgrounds.
Our cabin was spacious (bigger than what we saw on photos online) It was clean, and very quiet! It slept 7 comfortable! The kitchen is a nice touch for those cooking at camp! Just as big and well stocked like home. Pots, Pans, Dishes… and a dishwasher!
The main pool where most people from campsites and RV’s go was really nice. A small hottub and a big pool. The pool had a medium sized waterslide that had kids lined up all day! There was also a smaller water splash area for smaller kids. I was surprised about food, drink, alcohol being allowed pretty much anywhere! And Disney Host — would come out and play games with the kids, sing songs, and congo around the pool! Was super cool and gave the parents some rest time!
There was a hot tub and smalller pool close to our cabin! We visited that as well and loved the intimancy. The other couple told us that is was open 24hrs. We stayed past 11pm, the posted time, but had no encounters with staff. The shops on site and the service their emplyees give is great! The Dining plan we had let us get snacks and lunch on our first day! The food was great, and the variety of snacks you can take back to camp was even greater! Huge cookies, rice crispy snacks, a pop, box of nutter butters. etc
Renting a golf cart is not needed unles you have really young children, or older folks, or handicap person in your party. We got one (60 bucks for the day) and used it to drive to the pool, back and fourth around the property and what not. We propably could of gone without considering buses run every two minutes inside he property and are easy to use!
The morning we left for the Magic Kingdom from our cabin was a nice day. It was a 50 yard walk to he bus stop, a four minute bus ride to the marina, and a 12 minute boat ride to the park. Coming home at midnight, we waited 12 minutes for the boat! IT WAS AMAZING! and gave us even more time to play!
All in All the campgrounds and especially the CABINS! are an easy comfortable and cheaper solutuion to staying on property. I loved it and would do it again! STAY ON PROPERTY, that way when your not in the parks, it still has that clean, amazing, hospitable DISNEY feel!
