How to get tent and supplies to campground

[Kohara]

I'm asking for my aunt, she is camping in a tent this weekend. If I'm reading correctly, there are no cars allowed into the campground. How is she supposed to get all her stuff(tent,bikes,etc) there?

If you're staying there, you can drive a car to your campsite and keep it there. That's one of the Ft. Wilderness benefits- you can have your car right next to you. What you can't do is drive a car into the resort (past the parking lot in the Outpost upfront) if you're not staying at Fort Wilderness, in order to have a meal at the Settlement, for example. There is no car parking at the Settlement, next to Hoop Dee Doo or Mickey's Backyard BBQ, the boat launch to MK, nor any car parking at the resort pool. Perhaps that is what confused you.

When we camped, we didn't have a car, so a CM in a Ft. Wilderness golf cart took us and our gear to our tent site, and from our tent site the morning we departed (even though it was pre-dawn- it's a service they provide.) No worries- your aunt won't have to walk her gear anywhere.

Great! Thanks for the clarification.

And while some folks do it, you are not supposed to cruise around the campground with your car (for example to "Check out" other sites).
We have, however, taken the "Long" way in (or out) when coming (or going) from/to other parks or locations. This is where a "Golf Cart" is nice. It allows you to go around and check things out all around the campground. Particularly during holidays when things are decorated.

Only the group camping area has that rule. Perhaps that is what she came across?
