The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort
The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort sits in a forest of around 300 hectares on Bay Lake. Among the pines and cypresses you'll spot deer, rabbits and ducks. You camp here with your tent or motorhome, just a few minutes by boat from Magic Kingdom.
Location and transport
You can take the boat to Magic Kingdom. A free bus runs to the other parks. You can hire a golf cart on site.
Rooms and suites
There are four types of pitch, from a spot for up to two tents to pitches for motorhomes over 13 metres long. Every pitch has water, electricity, cable TV, a picnic table and a charcoal barbecue. A maximum of eight people may stay on each pitch. Your dog is welcome on some pitches.
Early Theme Park Entry
Get into all four theme parks half an hour early on every day of your stay, including your arrival and departure days.
Buy Lightning Lane earlier
Hotel guests can buy Lightning Lane passes 7 days before their stay, for their entire stay. Everyone else can only do so 3 days in advance.
Free transport
The free Disney buses take you to all the theme parks, the water parks and Disney Springs. Parking at the hotel and the parks is free.
Food and drink
The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue in Pioneer Hall is a dinner show with an all-you-can-eat country feast. Trail's End Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There's also Crockett's Tavern, the food truck The Chuck Wagon and a snack bar by the pool.
Pools and practical information
There are two pools: the Meadow Swimmin' Pool with a corkscrew slide and the quieter Wilderness Swimmin' Pool. You can try archery, canoeing, fishing, cycling and horse riding at the Tri-Circle-D Ranch. For dogs there's the off-lead area Waggin' Trails Dog Park.
