Accessible Campsites

[doubletoast]

We are planning our first trip to Fort Wilderness in a camper and was wondering what the difference between the accessible and regular camper sites were. I assumed it was probably distance to specific bathrooms, but we have our own accessible bathroom in the camper. Is there something else that would make these sites different?

I think there may be more info on the Fort Wilderness forum here:

Ignore - saw you posted the question there too

This is STRICTLY a guess, but seeing that each campsite is equipped with a grill and a picnic table, my guess would be that those are accessible to someone in a wheelchair.
From our experience, regular picnic tables with attached benches are not wheelchair friendly. Accessible picnic tables either have a spot without a bench or bench(es) csn be moved. Sand is not wheelchair friendly, so I would expect a paved path to things like the grill.

I‘d suggest contacting Disney to ask.

@SueM in MN makes a couple good points.

Other than that, I’ve never heard of accessible campsites at FW only for the Cabins. I did notice there is no specific description of the supposed-accessible campsites as for resort rooms. I couldn’t find one available, either, though I know FW runs no-vacancy nearly every night of the year so I don’t know if none available is because they are booked or don’t actually exist.

Puzzling...I’ll have to keep an eye on that to see if something develops.
