Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground

I simply can't say enough about Ft. Wilderness. It will always be a part of the magic of our Disney family vacations.

I really don't why people like it other than, "it's a campground on Disney property where I can get some perks of being at a Disney Resort." They seem to put minimal effort into it. The bath houses were clean-ish, one of the two toilets didn't work. I logged a work order and it wasn't fixed by the time we left. Generally the resort feels like Disney's heart isn't in it and they just want to do the bare minimum to keep it operating.

Such a beautiful and clean campground. Our "Premium Meadows" site was huge, directly across the street from the trading post and pool, and backed up to a trail. Classy neighbors and very quiet. Amazing value to be in the middle of Disney for $130/night. A short golf cart ride to the Magic Kingdom ferry, and a similarly short ride to the buses to other parks. Definitely recommend the golf cart rental- so much easier and more fun than waiting for buses. The Hoop Dee Doo was awesome- a ton of food and pretty funny. Both pools were super clean and not crowded- open late too which was fun. This campground is so nicely wooded and full of paths. We can't wait to return.

The sites and facilities are nice. But the campground is huge and they used to have great transportation around the property and to the Disney parks in the area. Now they seem to be cutting costs and transportation is unreliable. Sadly the solution is to rent electric carts at additional expense to an already top dollar charge to stay there. Very dissatisfied.

Perfect camping for Disney vacation. Sites big enough. Bathrooms always clean. Took boat to magic kingdom straight from campground. Quiet.

First off, this is Disney doing Disney things.  Campground is immaculate.  Clean is an understatement.  The pools are beautiful if aging a bit.  I don't have much to add to all the other glowing comments about this place except...

Watch out for the trees in the back of your site.  We had an oopsie that I missed while bringing my rig in.  It was a bad week for me and trees tbh.  

We have had 2 trips here, for my birthday.  Using the transport system allows all the adults to party.  Drinking around the World at Epcot or Drinking around the resorts, I highly advise making a game of both.

We stayed at site 1001 which was a premium location right by a bus stop and across from the meadow trading post and pool. The down side is that you are literally at the bus stop which buses run from 7am til midnight which means you can not really sleep until after midnight. It is also right on the road so there are trucks and golf carts driving and beeping all night. I loved the proximity to everything but it is very load and busy.

This campground truly has the magic of Disney in it. The atmosphere is so relaxing and enjoyable. Very clean throughout!

The campgrounds are amazing! Extremely clean, great location, and spacious. We went for the weekend, didn't go into any parks, and had a great time just hanging out. Will definitely go back.

As an Orlando native, I’m sad to say I never spent time hear growing up. Oh how I missed out!

The best advice I can give is to SKIP THE PARKS when staying here. There’s so much fun to be had, outside of your normal camping experience. Rent a canoe or a bike, go on a fishing excursion with a guide, make tie dye shirts, watch movies by the campfire, or just rent a golf cart ($$) and go looping for hidden treasure!

We stayed in a tent loop right across from the swimming pool, walking distance to the pool and Bike Barn (where you rent everything and play). It wouldn’t be necessary to have a cart if that’s all you were after but the internal bus system is a bit miserable IMO and looping is part of the fun here.

Our stay was early August and it was about $50 a night with AP discount. Or golf cart each night was around $62, yikes. They find a way to getcha.

For meals, they have one takeout place (P&J’s) an expensive dining show (Hoop De Doo), and Trail’s End which is only open for breakfast and dinner. They do have a food truck round up most nights and they have a walk up bar open all day.

The site itself was great, electric and water right there. No fire pit as Disney is strict on the type you can have, but if you are lucky you can find one on the “Wandering Fire Pit” group.

Haven’t stayed in an RV on site but they seem level but some are easier to back in than others. No pull through. If you get there you can ask for something different than what you are assigned or even ask the folks up front for details on your sites width.

We enjoyed and will be back to stay as soon as we can. In the interim, we visit often to enjoy a meal and fun!

Premium preferred campsite.

Everything was great, from the cleanliness, activities, maintenance to the camp sites if something is wrong. Will definitely be back.

Nice camping close to the parks with shuttles

As per Disney standards this campground is top notch and worth every penny. 2 pools and easy transportation to all the parks. The sites are level, clean and have great hookups. Our pups especially like the dog park. Don’t forget to rent a golf cart!

Stayed as a base camp for visiting the parks. Everything was perfect except the bus schedules were a little slow (long waits) and directions for which bus to get to which park was a little confusing even when using the Disney app.

Otherwise the campground was perfect. Clean bathrooms, enough space at each campsite, and sites were paved and level

Yes it’s expensive, it’s Disney. That said the camp site is very well maintained as all Disney properties are. All sites are on concrete which for us required no side to side leveling. The site was large enough to fit our 30ft airstream with the truck parked in front. Our campsite seem to not have as much room as others on the passenger side. Behind concrete pad is gravel, this is where the picnic table and grill is. There is plenty of room for chairs and a fire pit in the graveled area. The restrooms and showers are very clean and has great water pressure. All comfort stations have an ice machine and it’s only $2 for a bag of ice. The gift shops sells liquor, wine, beer, plates, condiments and other items if you forget them. There are playgrounds spread throughout the campsite. We stayed with four other families and requested to be next to each other and Disney honored the request. We rented a golf cart on property, definitely worth it. You can also rent from off property vendors as well. You have a great view of the fireworks from the lake and beach area. They have a restaurant and food trucks in this area as well. Plenty of fun activities for the kids no need to go to the park everyday when staying here.

Our first time at Fort Wilderness. It has everything you need. You don’t even have to hit the theme park.

Huge campground, lots to do. Pristine ground with comfort stations and trash cans everywhere

Love it, clean , close to the city , golf cart rent , clean pool

Arrived early November and stayed a month. We were in complete shock that Halloween had ended 3 days prior and campers already have their campsites decorated for Christmas! Truly outstanding campground, every person was extremely friendly and outgoing. This was a pure delight for all. We didn’t even have to go to theme park at all because there is so much to do. Definitely need your golf cart here. Don’t worry, they rent golf carts if you don’t have one. Just make sure to reserve far ahead because it books up fast.

Everything you would expect from Disney. Had fun fishing, canoeing and swimming. The pool is heated and the temperature was great on a few chilly days in Florida.

Sites are spacious with concrete pads. Loops make sure you are never far from a "comfort station" or bathhouse. From water park to horse rides to lots of evening activities, plenty to do here without going to any theme parks. Skip the Bingo and enjoy everything else!!!

We have camped at Fort Wilderness many times and always have a fantastic experience. It’s pricey but the campground is worth it in our opinion. The sites are large, wooded, and have full hook-ups. The campground has so much to do we hardly go out to the parks when we visit. Bring or rent a golf cart, because the campground is huge!

Clean, tons of stuff for the kids to do, tons of deer and turkey.

Best campground I’ve ever stayed at!

Decent wifi, full hookup, large parking areas, great amenities.

Boat ride away from Magic Kingdom and centrally located to all the others Disney parks.

Can’t wait to come back!

Overall great facilities. The only issue ( and a big issue) is our camping spot backed up to a main road with little to no privacy. Felt like we were camping next to a busy Highway. Not all spots are like this but ours was..

Awesome. Just make sure you have a golf cart or bicycles to get around the campground as it is huge.

Our first time RVing and wanted to stop somewhere with a full hookup. Checkin was a breeze as was hooking up. We had a great spot on water. We did the premium Meadows location. Right next to restrooms, bus stop, Amore's, store, rentals, pool... This is probably the best stop we will ever make

Nice site. We had a really nicely shaded one right by the convenience house. Very quiet area. We thought of renting a golf cart but the Mrs. Said it wasn’t worth it. We literally walked or rode our bikes around the whole area, not each individual campground area.

Will we go again? Maybe, after we’ve tried the many other less expensive/non Disney campgrounds.

I have been to Disney many times and this was my first time camping here! I loved it! It is so nice to have your own space, bathrooms are really clean and cast members are great. Sad that since I came in April 2021 that not most of the fun activities weren’t open, however there was still lots to do. I actually relaxed this Disney trip! For the first time I went to the pool and just enjoyed being around family. Boat straight to the Magic Kingdom is a huge plus! Best advice I can give is to RENT A GOLF CART! “Looping” is tons of fun( just driving around the campsite loops) but also just getting to the buses to the parks is tough without a golf cart, sure you can bike or wait on a bus, but it only takes you to the front...trust me rent the golf cart! Fort Wilderness is HUGE, you won’t regret spending the extra money.

We have stayed at WDW Fort Wilderness many times, but never in a premium spot. We were pleasantly surprised with the difference in size in the Premium site over a Preferred site. The spot has everything you can imagine with the exception of a fire 🔥 ring. The comfort stations are near by and are modern and air conditioned. Everything is accessible by bus, walking or golf carts.
