Want To Go Camping At Disney World?

Did you know that Disney World offers fully functional campgrounds for you, your children,  and even the family dog? If you want to go camping, the Fort Wilderness Resort at Disney World in Florida might be the perfect vacation spot for you.  All campsites include electricity and water, and for an extra fee you can even get high-speed Internet access.

Despite these detractions from the pure camping experience, Disney Fort Wilderness Resort is well worth the money they charge for you to camp there. The campsite is set upon some truly beautiful land: a forest full of pine trees, water canals, and hiking trails that look like the real thing. There are even deer, rabbits, and ducks wandering around the campgrounds.

Disney Fort Wilderness offers plenty for the entire family to do during the camping  experience. You can go hiking on a forest trail or fish and swim in one of the many water  canals on the campgrounds. You can also take your kids on a horse and wagon ride or to the  archery range. In addition, every evening, you can watch a Disney movie under the stars in  an outdoor arena.  There are hook-ups for tents and RV’s, and log-cabin style buildings dot the premises.

Finally, the outdoor atmosphere at Disney is beautiful. The campsites are situated in a forest full of pine and cypress trees and there are log cabins or other rustic-looking buildings on site. Best of all, camping at Disney World is not expensive; you can rent your campsite for as little as $43 per night plus tax.  Camping at Disney is also safer than camping at a traditional campsite. There are no dangerous wild animals at Fort Wilderness Resort.

If your children are camping purists, they might object to the Disney campsites because you have modern conveniences such as electricity and water. However, there is so much to do on the campgrounds that they will probably completely forget about this issue.

As a Disney World Resort guest, you are also entitled to complimentary transportation to and from all Disney Theme Park locations. In addition to the Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center, you and your children could visit the Animal Kingdom or any of the Disney World Water Parks.

The camping resort is located close to Disney World itself, and Disney offers complimentary transportation between the campsite and all areas of the Disney World Theme Park.  If you have a dog, you can bring him or her to selected areas of the campsite. Your dog will enjoy walking through the campgrounds and will have an air-conditioned place to sleep. Cats are presumably also welcome on the campsite, although most cats are not leash trained so this may not be a good idea.

Disney Fort Wilderness charges a nominal fee for pet privileges as well as for high-speed  Internet access. With so much to do, however, you probably won’t have time for the Internet.  Camping at Disney is truly an opportunity for the whole family to get away from their  regular routines and just relax.  There are private bathroom and shower facilities on site, as well as laundry facilities. Some campsites are being renovated this year; check with Disney for availability.
