This is our first time camping at Disney and was wondering if anyone could suggest a site that is within walking distance to a pool that is kind of private. If we are not at the parks, we're at the pool. I've been scrolling through the pics but really can't tell what loop to pick. If you have a picture that would help immensely. I think the hardest part about FW is picking a site.:confused3
 
That IS the hardest part....especially since they dont allow it. Ya MIGHT be able to request a specific loop(no guarantees on getting it)....but specific sites arent even humored.
 
Just for fun, request a certain site when you check in and watch them attempt to muffle their laughter.
 
With the clearing at FW, the very private sight we always stayed at is not really private so we just go with the flow now and enjoy what they give us.

Close to pool would be 1200/1300 loops and 600/1400 preferred loops. With these loops you don't have to cross a road on the way and 1300/1400 are a little closer. Depending on our needs we go with 1300 or 1400.
 

I think others have covered the idea of requesting a specific site, but as with everything I;'ll add my $.02.

Some things to keep in mind when making a reservation at Fort Wilderness. The folks who answer the phone (i.e. reservations cast members) have differing levels of expertise regarding Fort Wilderness. There are tens of thousands of Disney hotel rooms fitting into a few categories such as Value, Moderate and Deluxe and most rooms, no mater what property have similar size rooms, room capacities and rules regarding the room. So, the reservations cast members have most of the information regarding rooms in their head. Except for the exceptional reservations cast members, for Fort Wilderness they usually read what is on the screen in front of them. You may need to guide them with your reservation as you may actually know more about the campground then they do. At the very least, make sure they note the following things in the comments for your reservation:

* Type of camping unit (i.e. trailer, tent, motorhome/coach etc.)
* Length of your entire rig including tow vehicles and toads
* Number/location of all awnings
* Number/location of all slides
* Let them know if you have pets

When making reservations you can ask to be assigned to a specific loop, and they will even note a specific favorite site, but remember nothing is guaranteed!

Now, with that said I will give you my personal opinion. Make your site selection known when you make your reservation so they can note it on your reservation. You are much better off requesting the things you like about the site/loop rather than the site/loop itself. For example, if you like the site because it is near a comfort station, then request that, if you like it because it is in the back of the loop and is quieter request that. The problem with asking for a specific site/loop is that the site assigners really don't know why you wanted that site/loop. If your request is not available they really don't know what you might find as a comparable site.
 
hey everyone, I was reading the boards for a couple of hours last night and didn't realize you can't make requests, but you have posted some great advice. we've never camped at disney before (just bought a new trailer) and we live in Ontario. it would really suck to drive all the way down there and get a lousy site. anyway, again thanks for the advice.
 
Most of the sites are good....Ive only heard real complaints about sites in the 1900 loop. But on the other hand, Ive heard that 1900 is a favorite of many. A trip to the fort is really hard to NOT ENJOY, you'll have a great time!
 
Have stayed in the 1900 loop and had great sites. There can be some issues with some sites depending on weather.
 
I have to second the 1400 loop. Right next to the campfire area and a very short walk to the pool and meadows trading post.
 
Good luck with the privacy thing. As someone posted, with all the clearing nothing is private anymore.
