In case you missed my overview of Ft Wilderness you may want to read this first.
The 799 campsites of Ft Wilderness break down into four categories starting with the tent/pop-up campsite, full hook-up campsite, preferred hook-up campsite and the 430 new premium campsites. The premium campsites boast huge 18×60′ concrete pads-big enough to bring in your top of the line recreational vehicle.
All campsites have a maximum capacity of 10 guests and include water, cable television and electric hook-ups, picnic table, charcoal grill and for an additional fee you can even get high speed Internet access. All campsites except for the tent/pop-up sites also include a sewer hook-up.
Air-conditioned Comfort Stations throughout the campsite loops feature private toilets and showers, laundry facilities, telephones and ice machines. Some campsites are even pet friendly! Walt Disney World even has a service where they will provide and set up the tent and cots to sleep 6 so you don’t have to do it! Ask about it when you book your campsite. How great is that?
As always the prices vary with Disney’s “seasons” but currently (2/3/10) the price range is:
- Tent/Pop-Up sites-$44-$84
- Full Hook-up sites-$59-$105
- Preferred Hook-Up sites $64-$111
- Premium Hook-Up sites $74-$121
Just like in many campgrounds around Florida the campsites at Ft Wilderness have their “snowbirds” that stay at Disney for several months at a time during the winter. Hmmm living at Disney World sounds good to me. Also, if you visit anytime between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day you better bring your Christmas decorations. These people decorate their campsites like you wouldn’t imagine! Unfortunately, none of my pictures of RVs decked out in Christmas lights and surrounded by Disney character inflatables came out well enough to use but I was floored by the lengths people go to decorate their campsites.
Have you ever camped at Ft Wilderness? My boys want to tent camp! Yikes! Leave me a comment and let me know how you liked camping at Ft Wilderness.

I know this is from almost three years ago, but did you ever get to take the boys tent camping?
Floridacamperrental.com rents campers and even sets them up for you at disney.
We go every year for new years. There’s nothing like being at the fort during christmas time and the holidays.
