hi everyone so this is an overview of Disney's Fort Wilderness campground where we recently
stayed for the first time if you enjoyed this video you may want to also check out
the podcast we recently did with Chuck from the RV adventure this podcast has additional
information and some tips regarding staying here we'll put a link in the description box below one
thing that impressed us when we first arrived is that unlike other campgrounds we've stayed
at here you never even have to get out of your vehicle to check in you just pull right up when
you enter the campground on the far right there is an area for overflow parking fun fact about
this area is that you can park here if you arrive early the day of check-in and utilize
the campground amenities and Disney's theme parks you can also do this the day of checkout up until
midnight it was a nice way to get the most out of our stay so this Resort has been open since
the 70s it is 700 acres has 799 campsites and 409 cabins let's head on over to our campsite
this particular site is a premium campsite at our campsite there is a large concrete
pad with room to park our RV our car a golf cart and more as well as picnic table and a
grill we even left room behind the RV for my workouts which I should add only happen
one day while we were there one thing to mention is Disney does allow fire pits at
your campsite as long as they are completely contained these sites offer full hookups as
well as have Wi-Fi access which was good enough for basic Internet use and as you see here the
campsites are staggered to allow for privacy trash and recycling is conveniently available
throughout the campground each loop has a comfort station with pristine bathrooms and showers
each shower is clean with a small private changing area and the showers have really
hot water which is always a great find at a campground in the comfort stations there is
also laundry there are vending machines for laundry products there's even an app that you
can use to tell you how much time is remaining on your washer or dryer and leave your change in
the RV you can only pay with debit or credit card here let's head on over to the dog park
there is golf cart parking there a large fenced area with few obstacles for the dogs bring the
kids to because there's an adjacent playground in volleyball court our campsite was 1.5 miles
from the dog park if you're looking for loops that are within close walking distance consider
Cypress knee circle or Buffalo Bend we were told when we were there that the entire camp
ground is now pet friendly rather than just certain loops as it was previously let's head
on over to the Fort Marina this was the waterfront there was plenty of bike and
golf cart parking here there's a sandy beach and boat rentals as well as a stand for refreshments
this is also where you can take a boat ride to Fort Wilderness Lodge the contemporary or
the Magic Kingdom at the Fort Marina there are several places to enjoy food and refreshments
P & J's southern takeout is a quick service takeout and trails and is in the same building
which has a breakfast and dinner buffet if you have dietary restrictions or allergies the chef's
that these restaurants are quite accommodating the hoop-dee-doo review dinner show is also
in this area at the Pioneer Hall if you're just looking for beer wine or cocktails Rockets tavern
is right there to the settlement Trading Post is a store that has everything from souvenirs drinks
snacks to quick prep freezer foods located midway through the campground the meadow Trading Post is
another store that has similar items and also has RV specific items such as tank pods toilet
paper sewer hoses and water hoses in case you may need them near the meadow Trading Post there
were recreational activities available such as shuffleboard archery and canoeing and an area for
scheduled movie nights at the meadow was the main pool and snack bar this is one of the busier pools
most of the time as it had a waterslide and a DJ there playing music and games with the children
there's a kiddie play area in the same section that was under refurbishment at the time apart
from the main pool there's a quiet pool and hot tub if you're just looking to relax the
Tri Circle D ranch was where we took horses out I was a little nervous getting on one as it was
my first time anywhere near a horse Bart was pretty well-behaved thankfully other than RV
sites there are primitive camping sites on the property with nearby comfort stations I decided
to take a little break just doing what I do while Kenny was filming there are also tent camping
sites available with electric water picnic tables and grills if that's more your speed and over 400
air-conditioned cabins available in their own cabin loops a short walk from your campsite
at the entrance to the loop is a bus station that helps make travel in the campground easier a short
ride and you're at the front of the campground waiting for your next bus to take you to your
favorite Park thanks for watching like dislike share subscribe and tell us what you think about
