Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
Venturing off to the Family Playground of the World in Orlando? Looking at Campsites in Disney World might not even cross your mind. But that is something to consider when you understand that Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is a Disney-owned and run Resort. It’s true, Disney owns the Fort Wilderness Resort, where you can pitch a tent, bring your pop-up camper, or even bring your luxury RV. So many guests are surprised that Disney has a campsite, and it is not even a consideration.
Camping the Disney way!
Okay, let’s start by saying, the Disney Fort Wilderness Resort and Campsites is not your typical RV park. Not at all. These 750 acres of prime Florida forestland are perfect for a family adventure that gives you all of the perks you expect when staying at any of the Disney World Resorts. The campsites are strictly maintained and always in the best service for their guests. Cast members make sure to give you the Disney experience you have come to expect from any of the other Value, Moderate or Deluxe Resorts. If you prefer to stay in the Fort Wilderness Resort area but don’t have your camper or RV, book yourself a spacious Cabin and visit in pure comfort.

Disney Fort Wilderness Reviews
Pros:
One of the best locations you could ever camp in my opinion. The sites are well maintained and we did not have any problems fitting our RV in the site. Hookups worked well and the bath houses are clean. There is so much to do, Archery, horseback riding, playing at the pools. The kids loved the water slides and our little ones had so much fun on the small water slides. The food was really great and we would recommend this to everyone.
Cons:
Although we enjoyed our stay it would be great if there were more laundry facilities at the Disney Fort Wilderness Campground. Having large capacity washers and dryers would also help. Walking around this huge Resort can get tiring. Next time we will definitely bring our bikes or rent a golf cart. The Golf Carts were sold out when we tried to get one. This was frustrating but we can not blame Fort Wilderness for this. We will have this reserved in advance next time we visit.
