We are home from our wonderful week at Fort Wilderness. Thanks to all of you who have posted before me...it was so helpful in planning our trip.
A little background: I'm Florida born and raised (22 years) and have spent the last 10 years in Western New York. My husband and I have been avid campers for the past 12 years. DD (age 2) has now completed her 3rd camping trip!
We arrived at the Fort on Jan 10, 2010 and left on Jan 16th. It was cold, even by Buffalo standards when we arrived. Thankfully, I'm a planner so we were well prepared for the cold. We purchased a tall ceramic heater (the lasko oscillating with thermastat) and an electric blanket as well. Even though the temps were around 24 degree's Sunday night, we actually got hot and needed to turn the heat down in our tent!
Our home for the week was site 1515.
check out the blue skies!
orange tree on our site
our site was really private
DD loved collecting pine cones and shells at the site
Our official tent sign:
We went to the campfire sing-a-long twice. The first time it was still cold out so we just about had the place to ourselves.
The sing-a-long on a warmer night:
DD hanging out after her nap
Fireworks from Fort Wilderness Marina and Beach...highly recommend for a relaxing evening...no crowds and you are in bed within minutes of the show ending...great for traveling with a two year old who goes to bed at 8pm!!!
We loved Fort Wilderness!
