Determine when to go. Fort Wilderness is a great place to camp, but remember that it's in Florida. Summertime can be very hot. Fall and winter, however, are often quite mild. If comfort is important to you, plan on camping at Disney in the fall or winter. If you are determined to sweat it out in the summer, however, Fort Wilderness Campground has a swimming pool and a beach for you to cool off and relax.
Chose your campsite. Fort Wilderness Resort offers four different types of campsites: tent or popup, full hook up, preferred and premium. If you are staying in a tent, the tent site will do just fine. However, if you are traveling in an R.V., you may want to consider a preferred or premium site, which offer preferred locations and larger campsites.
Book your trip early. All of the Walt Disney World resorts are popular, but camping at Fort Wilderness is one of the hardest trips to book because it offers a great family camping experience and there are limited camp sites available. Plan on booking your camping trip at least six months in advance to make sure you get the spot you want.
Plan to have fun. Fort Wilderness Campground offers great places to ride your bike, boat rentals, a swimming pool, gift shop and playgrounds.
