Cot rental?

[LegoMom3]

I just read somewhere recently (although for the life of me I can't locate where it was!) that FW has cots for rent. Does anyone know about this or where I might look to get more info? I read on the DIS boards about tent rentals and that was a bit pricey, but I'm wondering about the cots.

We'll be tight on space coming down so I'm just wondering about shelling out the $$ to rent them right there.

Thanks!

im not sure but I think those are for large groups(youth groups, boyscouts ect) going tenting? not sure if they rent them out individually though

This is from Jeff Spencer's website:

Yes. However, the official policy for Fort Wilderness is that rental tents and cots are only available to groups of 20 or more using Creekside Meadow, the primitive camping area. However, official policy and practice seem to differ. Individuals have rented equipment before and I've called FW myself and been told they do rent equipment to individuals if they have it available and a group hasn't already made arrangements to rent it. Tents are $30 per night, cots are $3 per night, so it's not cheap. Also, if you do stay in Creekside Meadow, the cost is $10 per person (20 person minimum). For group reservations, call (407) 939-7807 Monday through Friday between 9 am and 4 pm.
