Disney’s Fort Wilderness

Staying at a Disney resort can be rather expensive, but what if you had the option of staying in your own tent or RV? If you are willing to give up the creature comforts of a hotel room, a camping trip at Walt Disney World's Fort Wilderness can help reduce the cost of accommodations without skimping on all of the fun.

Whether you pitch your own tent or let the folks at Disney set up a tent and cots for you, you can enjoy the quiet relaxation of a family camping excursion, with the added bonus of a volleyball court, grills, picnic tables, firewood for sale plus clean bathrooms and hot showers (after all, this is Disney; there are no nasty pit toilets here).

All Fort Wilderness guests have access to the expansive swimming pool on site, and the kids will enjoy the nightly campfire jamborees and outdoor movies. Other available activities include bicycling and horseback riding on designated trails.

And for those guests who want the experience of a woodsy retreat without spending the night in a sleeping bag or roasting hot dogs over an open fire, Disney's Wilderness Resort also has a restaurant and a full service lodge with all of amenities one would expect in a traditional hotel. Like any Disney resort, there is regular shuttle service to the theme parks and water parks, and unlike most campgrounds, even the mosquitoes tend to stay away from this very Disney camping experience.
