Fort Wilderness Campground Navigation
tips: The campground is located on the South shore of Bay Lake.
The check-in area (and main parking lot, etc.) is at the far South end
of the campground off of Vista Boulevard. Inside the campground
complex proper, the marina and settlement areas are up by the lake; the
meadow area is located near the middle of the campground; and the wilderness
cabins (and wilderness pool) are all located in the loops farthest to
the South.
You may want to click
here for a reference map of the campground as you go on your tour.
The map will come up in a separate window.
The Meadow is a collection of buildings and facilities near
the center of the campgrounds. Surrounded on three sides by canals, the
Meadow includes a small marina, a trading post, the campfire site, and
the resort's premier pool area.
From the picture below, you can see that even in mid-afternoon,
the Meadow is a quiet area.
The closest campsite loops are separated from the Meadow
by canal. Only the 1400 loop is directly adjacent, but it's separated
from the rest of the Meadow by the campfire area.
The Meadow Trading Post, like the Settlement Trading Post,
sells all sorts of trinkets and souvenirs along with a limited selection
of food items.
Right in front of the trading post is a large parking area
for bikes. Not surprisingly, the campground has a LOT of self-propelled
transportation. If you're staying at the campground, you should
feel free to bring your own.
But if need be, you can rent bikes at the Bike Barn.
The Bike Barn is also where you can rent electric carts.
You may want to call ahead to reserve a cart since there's a limited supply.
The carts are expensive, but may prove to be a leg-saver over the course
of a long vacation stay at the campground (especially if you're spending
a lot of time walking around in the parks, too.)
The meadow also has a small marina where you can rent pedal
boats and canoes. The quiet canals that wind through the campground
make for a nice boat outing -- although guest water travel is limited
to the area right around the Meadow.
The Meadow pool is the largest one at the campground.
It's not themed, but the area is well-maintained and is perfect for a
mid-day dip or just to catch some rays.
The Meadow pool area is also the location of the campground's
arcade.
Last but far from least, the Meadow is also home to the
campground's campfire area. Each and every night, folks gather around
the campfire for a sing-along and a showing of a Disney film.
