The hotel

At Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, it's time for the outdoor life, Disney style! Both parents and children alike will love staying in the very comfortable rustic-style cabins, surrounded by serene forest. Reminiscent of log dwellings from the pioneer days, special touches include vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a private deck. Fishing, swimming, horseback riding, wagon rides, boating and cycling are just some of the exciting activities on offer. At night, gather round the campfire for a rousing sing-along, followed by a classic Disney film under the stars.

This is the 4th time that I've stayed at Fort Wilderness in Walt Disney World, Florida. This time, I was there for 45 nights. They do make you leave after 27 days, stay off property for 3 nights, then you can return. Our first site was 109 and then we relocated to 111. We love the 100 Loop as it's only steps away to the Settlement and the boat… Read more
This is the 4th time that I've stayed at Fort Wilderness in Walt Disney World, Florida. This time, I was there for 45 nights. They do make you leave after 27 days, stay off property for 3 nights, then you can return. Our first site was 109 and then we relocated to 111. We love the 100 Loop as it's only steps away to the Settlement and the boat that takes you to the Magic Kingdom. Our stay was truly magical! There is so much to do at The Fort. Even if you aren't a fan of the theme parks, you can keep busy here for weeks! We loved walking over to Crocketts Tavern, people watching from the rocking chairs on the porch, and enjoying one of their delicious moonshine cocktails! The Halloween and Christmas decorations are so lovely! I took free Pickleball lessons this time. The coach was wonderful and I learned so much! I also signed up for the Backwoods Segway Tour. This is my second time and I can't recommend it enough! The guides are wonderful! We rented one of their golf carts for part of our stay. It's fun to go "Jingle Loopin" at night to see all the holiday decor. My hubby and I took the trail ride on horseback to celebrate his 89th birthday! So much fun! And easy. We have camped in dozens of RV parks across the nation. This one is the best.....and always feels like "Coming Home!" I would be happy to answer any questions , if anyone needs help with planning. 😊 Read less

Currently staying here and it’s easily one of the worst camping experiences I’ve had. The facilities are beautiful however the campsites in the 2000 loop which is designated for tent/pop up campers are extremely close together with no privacy. Our site was next to a family with a dog and many young children. The dog barked well past 10 o’clock the first night and the children were running around screaming at the top of their lungs the second. The scent of marijuana was also notably present every night. When the dog was barking at midnight I attempted to look for a number to report the disturbance and was unsuccessful. With numerous empty sites on this loop right now I’m wondering why they chose to place families next to each other when they could’ve spread it out. People drive recklessly on the golf carts at all hours, yelling profanity, and squealing tires. There seems to be plenty of staff present during the day, I’m not sure where they are at night or what kind of security protocols they have. I expected a family friendly campground and this is far from it. Another thing to consider, which I hadn’t when booking, is the fireworks. On nights we tried to go to bed early we were woken up by the sound of the MK fireworks. Which I realize I should have anticipated. Read less

It is a nice, green site. The site is very big. A free bus service takes you around. Magic Kingdom can be reached by boat. Other parks are connected by buses from the outpost which works pretty well. The site has a pool, but more for smaller kids. There is table tennis, an electronic games room and there are other games to play. If you stay… Read more
It is a nice, green site. The site is very big. A free bus service takes you around. Magic Kingdom can be reached by boat. Other parks are connected by buses from the outpost which works pretty well. The site has a pool, but more for smaller kids. There is table tennis, an electronic games room and there are other games to play. If you stay longer, you can rent fishing equipment, bikes, canoes and golf carts. The shops sell Disney merchandise and essential grocery (expensive). You can as well find restaurants. If you wish, you can to go to evening entertainment for kids which we did not go to. We focused on going to the parks early. The individual RV spots are not very big, but shady. The washroom&toilet is ok. Very friendly staff. Read less

Dear Fort Wilderness Management, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some feedback regarding our recent stay at Fort Wilderness. We were very excited about our camping trip; however, we encountered several issues that significantly impacted our experience. I had initially intended to leave a positive review, but due to the numerous problems we faced, it is difficult to do so. This trip was a graduation present for my son, and unfortunately, it fell far short of our expectations, essentially ruining what was supposed to be a special occasion. Many aspects of our stay did not meet the advertised standards, and it has left us questioning whether we would return to this property or recommend it to others. The issues we encountered include: 1. **Refillable Cups**: We purchased a $24 refillable cup, but the ice machines were not functioning, which was very inconvenient as well as frustrating. Why did I pay such. High price for something that doesn’t work? 2. **Electric Bikes**: We were disappointed to discover that electric bikes are not permitted, only manual bikes. Additionally, the website does not clearly state that golf carts are generally sold out, leaving guests with limited transportation options unless they use the buses or walk. 3. **Pool Seating**: Many guests reserve pool chairs with towels without using them, leaving others without seating. This practice should be monitored by staff to ensure all paying guests can enjoy the pool amenities. 4. **High Food Prices**: The cost of food items, such as $11.99 for a slice of pizza, is excessively high. 5. **Fishing Areas**: The designated fishing areas are limited to two small spots, both of which are in direct sunlight. This makes it challenging for families with young children to enjoy this activity comfortably. It also makes zero sense when there are an abundance of shaded spots that fishing is possible. 6. **Chipmunk Show**: The seating arrangement for the Chipmunk Show is problematic. Children are required to sit in the bleachers far from the stage, which causes them to become upset because they cannot see the characters, disrupting the experience for everyone. 7. **Playgrounds**: The playgrounds are not shaded, making them uncomfortable for children to use during the day. 8. **Pool Restrictions**: Guests are not allowed to jump into the pool or sit on the edge to watch their children, yet there is often no available seating due to reserved chairs. This creates a stressful environment for parents with young children. Given these experiences, it is hard for me to consider returning to Fort Wilderness. This is particularly disappointing because we have never encountered such issues at other Disney properties. The standards here did not meet the usual Disney quality, and it is clear that improvements are needed.  We had high hopes for this trip and believed that Disney would provide a memorable and enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case. We may have been better off choosing a different destination, such as Universal properties, where it seems that children can have more fun and things are as advertised. I hope Disney will take these concerns seriously and make the necessary improvements to ensure future guests have a better experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
