?s about tent camping (dogs, fires/cooking, reservations...)

[MSB123]

So we just got Disney passes and live about an hour away, so plan on a lot of day trips this year.


We thought about spending a few nights over camping in early February. Is it generally busy that time of year? We're not sure about going yet, but how far in advance should we try to make reservations for a tent site?

We have 3 kids, so we like to pitch 2 tents when camping. Are you allowed to pitch two on 1 campsight?


I know they have a big nightly campfire-- but do campsites have a personal fire or bbq pit for roasting some weenies for lunch or making morning coffee?


Also, we have a 45 lb doggie who usually stays with "Nanny" when we go on a long day trip or overnight... but we thought about bringing him. He's a bit rambunctious but friendly and social.

I hear they have kennels there you can put your dogs in while you're at the park, and people will walk and feed them.

Anyone have any idea of how much this can run per day? Having an idea of budget will be a big factor in whether or not we plan this.

Also... I know you can't leave your dog in the tent during the day... but will they let the dog go into the tent with you at night?



Sorry for so many questions, I was trying to read the website info but I gues information overload was making it all hard to understand and take in.


Thanks

Sorry,. no pets in tents. The Disney website states the following on the Fort Wilderness web page:

"Pets

Since pets like to go on vacation too, pet-friendly campsites are available. Pets are not permitted in tents or vehicles without air-conditioning."

As to reservations, make them as soon as yo know your dates.

There ae not fire rings or pits at each site, but you can bring a fully enclosed fire pit and use it. For the hot dogs, I'd just use the grill that is on the site. For coffee I'd bring a coffee pot (all sites have electric).

2 tents on 1 site is fine, loop 2000 has bigger sites pad, so it may work out better for you. You can also pitch a screen room or E_Z up if you want to.

Early Feb is not busy but come the 12th it will get busy.

Have a great time and welcome to The Dis camping board.

Ah, that's great, as long as we've got a grill for a couple of meals a day that's fine.


I have a coffee pot, but it's made to go over a campfire... we rarely camp where there are hook-ups.

Sounds like it's not even worth bringing the dog, if he can't be with us at night we'll hardly see him. Might as well leave him at his Nanny's house.


Thanks so much!
