Hi! I am looking at buying some DVC points. I have had conflicting reports on there use for a campsite. Does anyone know if you can or cannot use them. Thanks!

Joe,

Here are some recent threads on this topic that I found using the SEARCH function.

and a 2nd one:

here is a thread with a "best answer" description. See post #4:

Bottom line is you can but the number of sites available for points are limited. You may get a "No Availability" for DVC points when sites are available for cash.

We find it nearly impossible to use them for a campsite. What we do now is rent the points and use that money to pay for our Fort time.

I booked a week stay in mid-October of last year with points. Was 55 points for premium site for a Sun-Sat stay.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Seems like it wouldn't be beneficial to go this route.
Thanks again,

1) NOPE.
2) DVC points are OK for DVC villas.
3) But, they are a terrible value when used
. . . for Disney Cruises
. . . for Disney non-DVC Resorts
. . . for non-Disney Timeshare Trading
4) Buy points if you want DVC Timeshare stays, but for NO OTHER reason/use.
