Better late than never and this campground was definitely Better

I keep meaning to post this because of the great time we had and the great campground but stuff kept happening. This trip was a trip to Disney World and the Magic Kingdom at the end of February with My daughter Jess and her husband Brian and our grandchildren Conan and Ella.

As you may have already gleaned from my prior posts Jo approaches a camping trip with at a minimum trepidation. She is not a camper or even a glamper but does it for me and to spend time with family. Knowing that she isnt a camper I always try to make it a nice campground and Fort Wilderness at Disney World was that and then some. Our trip there seemed longer than it should have but thats always the way in Florida. It is an incredibly long state. That said our travel was uneventful with our new sidekick puppy Mocha and we found Ft Wilderness easily. I will say that there is a hiatus on the signs leading into Disney where Ft Wilderness isnt mentioned for a few exits which always makes me a little uneasy as I dont relish the thought of taking a wrong turn into a parking lot not made for trucks and trailers. But we soon saw signs and pulled into Ft Wilderness without any wrong turns. The front gate folks were very nice and unlike many campgrounds trusted us to find our way to our site based on a magic marker on a map. That said the campground was very well marked and without any wrong turns we found our beautiful site in the woods. We were informed at the gate we needed to pay a small amount more for the pet and that we would be in a pet friendly area of the campground. I am always a bit nervous about being put in a room or campsite that is “pet friendly” for quality and noise reasons but our site was just beautiful. The pads are level concrete pads with immaculate grounds. There are staff constantly cleaning newly departed sites and emptying bear proof garbage can that were everywhere making trash disposal easy. There was a nice fenced dog park and paved walking paths everywhere.

We rented a golf cart as the campground is massive and our site was quite a distance from the marina where we got the boat to the Magic Kingdom to meet the kids who stayed at a hotel on site. Plenty of parking for the carts wherever we went and enough seating to take the kids back to our site when they came over for lunch one day.

The campground was pretty full but very quiet at night. There were entertainment options every night as well as a communal campfire.

Checking out was easy as we just had to leave the golf cart at the entrance and leave with our trailer.

Ft Wilderness was the nicest place we have stayed to date and i hope to go back with the entire family at some point.

Still planning our next cross country trip between birthdays and other celebrations maybe next fall. More to come.
