Official 'Post a Picture of your Campsite at FW' Thread

[ilovedisneymm]

I'm so glad to read that I was not the only one that went through every single pic and spend way too much time doing so

You will just love your trip to FW. Beware the Fort bug bites pretty hard

I realize that this thread is "no longer in use," but I just spent the better half of two afternoons going through the pictures! What a great thread!! I sure hope to see it resurrected in the future. I am planning our first trip to FW for June of 2015, FHU site only with a travel trailer. My wife and I are lifelong campers, but we have never been to FW. The pics on this thread really help with site selection and hopefully we will be able to get a good site in June!

Yes you can just bring your bikes, a cart in not needed but it does make the trip more enjoyable for some. I like to bring my cart cause I love to loop, look around at others campsite, look, stare with envy, drool a bit, stalk, loop again, drink and loop and there are many ways you could look at it. Also, we avoid having to wait for the internal bus system this way and thus shaving 30 mins a day or more off your trip. Some people fly and don't have bring your own bike option and or have small kids and have a site too far for the littles to walk, etc, etc, lots of reasons. Side note, you can rent a bike at the bike barn too.

But really, the whole indoor plumbing thing is kinda over rated don't you think? I mean they do provide you with a bucket in all. Who needs a shower? You can totally use the canal by your site or even better hop in Bay Lake! Just make sure to close your eyes. Indoor pool? Ummmm don't those require swimsuits? I like to travel light ya know! Plus my kids only know how to swim in that there outdoor pool, I'm not sure they can swim in the other....what did ya call it...indoor? Have to google that one.

I'm kidding, I promise. Just messing around

Fort Wilderness is a far better choice for our family because you can make your site, your own, your home away from home. Whether that be in a tent or a million dollar motor home. Why box your family up in a hotel box when you can relax and enjoy the outdoor scenery and sounds nature provides? I like the fact my kids can run around and be a kid and I enjoy not having to worry about who or what was in that bathtub before me, same for the bed...

At $80 a night, seems high even if the space has hookups & pool. Then I heard mention of $60/day for a cart to ride around. Can we just bring bikes instead? And, curious as to why people choose a campsite instead of hotel w/ indoor plumbing for only $25 more (Disney value hotel), or could stay off-site for LESS THAN the $78 camping fee? (Using Hotwire)

There's been a lot of posts lately about the Preferred sites and my favorite Loop 100. I had these pics on a backup drive of my favorite trip to the Fort. 2008 Spring Break, Loop 100, Site 119. Out of all my trips to WDW, this one has the best memories. Hated that black truck, but loved the camper and this trip.

Thanks to all who posted pics. This was a big help. We have a small TT and reserved a tent/pop up for a November and December trip. I was torn between 1500 & 2000, but by these photos, I think 2000 is a better fit for a small TT. I like the way the grill and table are off to the left in their "own" space. Leaves more room for the TT and our other "stuff".

We were in premium loop 600, Sunny Sage Way site 631, it was a easy site to back in. Our fifthwheel is 43' ft. I had it backed it all the way back and over and had a ton of room, I could've left my truck there but decided to park it under a shade tree up in the overflow so that my DS had more room to ride his bike.

Alabamaer that is a really pretty site (and 5th wheel!). How did you like the loop itself. We were torn between a couple loops, 600 being one and ended up requesting Preferred 300. Have never been to FW. I love all the palm trees there too aaaaah. Love these pics. PS: I too went through all the pics hehe. It takes me away from the horrible snow here.

 

[SouthAlabama5er]

We've stayed in both 300 and 600, we like 300, because it was our first place we stayed and the comfort station is in the center of the loop. 600 is nice the spots are larger and close the the Medows, and to use the walk down to the boat dock was about the same.

 

[tinkerdorabelle]

Are you saying that the walk from 300 and 600 to the boat dock is about the same?

 

[SouthAlabama5er]

Yea, but we were at the end of the 600 loop by the exit, so for us yeah it was about the same,

Can I borrow a fan?
Seriously, looks like a good setup.

Thanks to all who have posted pics. We have reservations this June for loop 100 and we have a 28' single slide. So looks like we'll have no problems....except waiting to get there...

This thread is what finally convinced me to stay at Fort Wilderness. After looking at all the sites and setups.

 

[tltay2005]

Heading to the Fort tomorrow for Easter weekend. Will post pics if I can figure out how. Not seeing an option to upload files.
