Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Overview
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground offers a unique blend of 750 acres of pine forest and the magic of a world-class resort. It provides a peaceful escape from the bustling theme parks, allowing guests to relax in a natural setting. Whether you are staying in a premium RV site or a cabin, the atmosphere is distinctly rustic and family-oriented, capturing the essence of the American frontier while maintaining Disney's high standards of hospitality and guest service.
Location & Surroundings
Tucked away in Lake Buena Vista, FL, the campground sits on the shores of Bay Lake, offering a serene waterfront experience. The landscape is filled with winding trails and cypress trees, providing ample shade and privacy for every camper. Despite its secluded feel, it is conveniently located within the heart of the Walt Disney World property, connecting guests to the theme parks via complimentary bus or water taxi systems.
Amenities & Park Features
The resort offers extensive recreation, including the Meadow Swimmin' Pool with a waterslide and whirlpool spa. Guests can enjoy several unique features:
- The Tri-Circle-D Ranch for horseback riding and carriage tours.
- Nightly Chip 'n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long sessions.
- Spacious sites with full hookups, cable TV, and picnic tables.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
While the resort itself is a destination, the primary draw is the proximity to the Magic Kingdom Park, which is just a short boat ride away. Guests can also take advantage of the efficient Disney transportation system to visit Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. For shopping and dining, the Disney Springs area is easily accessible, offering a wide variety of entertainment options for visitors of all ages.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is ideal for families seeking an immersive camping experience without sacrificing convenience or entertainment. It appeals to RVers who value a resort-style atmosphere and those who want a quiet retreat after a long day at the parks. It is also a great choice for pet owners, as the designated Waggin' Trails Dog Park and pet-friendly loops make it a welcoming destination for travelers bringing their four-legged friends along.

There are no rooms, the camp sites are perfect. When we got there another site was being prepared and they literally powerwashed everything and it looked brand new before the next person came in. No bugs, a ton of lizards and turkey. The bathrooms were always perfect which for a campsite with sand, that was odd to me. People were great, food was great, and transportation to the parks was easy and great! Remember though, for tent campers, the humidity... bring lots of fans...

We absolutely love the campground. We have been coming for years and it just gets better. Sites are good. The transportation to and from the parks and disney springs are easy. The scavenger hunts, campfire and other activities give you time to wind down and relax. Highly recommend.

Very pretty campground in a cypress and pine forest. Campsites are spacious with vegetation separating them. There are a lot of activities going on in the campground and even more for the holidays. We stayed for Halloween. Many people decorated their site and there is Trick or Treating nightly. Golf carts are the best way to get around.

Site 232 Evidently loops 100-300 are the oldest sites in the campground and are smaller than the newer ones. Our site was a little narrow, but we didn’t have a problem extending the awning and using our camp chairs. The parking site is a concrete pad, level, clean and in great shape. Large pea gravel area at the back of the site with picnic table and fire ring. Surprisingly private. The bathhouse was very nice and very close.. We really liked the site and the location, very close to the camp store and marina for the water taxi to the Magic Kingdom. Regular bus stops nearby for other sections of the amusement park.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground is a masterclass in family fun! Pristine RV sites, full hookups, ample shade, and jaw-dropping views of WDW fireworks and the Electrical Water Pageant. Kids go wild for hayrides, archery, canoeing, pony rides, and nature trails. Chip ‘n’ Dale’s Campfire Sing-Along with s’mores and movies under the stars is pure magic. Dogs love the trails and dog park. Boats to Magic Kingdom are a breeze—connect to monorail or Skyliner for all parks, running an hour past closing, even for after-hours events. Staff’s attentive, but ask for check-in perks like pins upfront; they’re busy! So much to do, we extended a week and grabbed the grandkids. Unforgettable!
