Fort Wilderness Campground

  This is a very expensive campground. It’s also very popular so make reservation early. When I checked for open sites a few weeks before we decided to go I couldn’t find any for our entire visit but I could make a reservation for each day. That was a pain since each reservation required filling out all of our information on the online form 10 times. When we checked in on our first day all of our reservations were combined and we had the same site for the whole ten days. Why that couldn’t happen in the beginning is a mystery to me.

  We were in the cheapest RV sites which feature concrete parking pads, tables, grills, water, power, sewer, cable, and internet. The concrete does not extend under the table so access is a bit difficult. The more expensive one are larger, closer to the amenities such as the beach and ferries to Magic Kingdom, and have more foliage between the sites. Other perks of staying in Fort Wilderness include extra hours for resort guests and free parking in the theme park lots. Parking for cars is $20.00 a day, RVs $22.00 – something to consider if you stay off site.

   Staying the campground is convenient. Buses run regularly to all of the theme parks and make loops around the campground.  A small ferry with a green flag goes directly to the Magic Kingdom. Ferries with different colored flags go to other resorts. We did not take any of the buses because I don’t like the lengthy process of loading and securing me and my wheelchair. We took the ferry to and from the park once but decided the walk to the ferry was too long to do everyday so we drove to each theme park from the campground on the other days. The green ferry is accessible but it may not be completely level with the dock.  Some of the other ferries are not accessible. The paved trails from the campsites are wide and smooth. The parking information from our trip in 2011 is still accurate. Campground   28.39555, -81.55372
