About this property
The Lake George Conservation Area protects more than half of the eastern shore of Lake George and its associated watershed that flows into the lake. Adjacent to property purchased in partnership with Volusia County, the conservation area also protects a wildlife corridor of more than 20 miles along Lake George and the St. Johns River.
The property is primarily composed of mixed hardwood swamp and pine flatwoods and is included in the wildlife management area managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, enhancing wetlands and upland habitats.
One of the special highlights of this property is its high concentration of eagles’ nests. When it was purchased, this area boasted the highest concentration of bald eagles outside of Alaska. Eagles made their nests primarily in large old pine trees that resided as single trees in the wetlands throughout the property. They are now nesting in trees that were planted outside the wetlands.

Can’t beat the convenience & amenities of the Disney parks are on your itinerary. Super cost effective and direct access to magic kingdom and easy access to all the others. Sites were big, clear and clean. Amenities were wonderful. I’d stay here even if we didn’t do a Disney park. There are so many sites and yes there are people around but there’s serious vegetation between all the sites that you have plenty of privacy. Constant ground crews, sanitation work and transportation options. Pools, restaurants, shops and fun activities going on all the time. We loved it.
ScoutSo much to do you don't even need to go to the theme parks if you don't want to. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion https://youtu.be/3qPP3GaZ_UU
TravelerHad a 2 night tent camp stay here during January. Great option for family reunions, we had my girlfriend’s 30th here, and with our rented golf cart, had no problems escorting our guests to our campsite to enjoy a camp cookout with us at our campsite. Was definitely an authentic Disney experience, with a never ending list of activities with plenty to keep kids and kids at heart busy, which we didn’t partake in since we were enjoying our campsite.
GuideI simply can't say enough about Ft. Wilderness. It will always be a part of the magic of our Disney family vacations.
GuideI really don't why people like it other than, "it's a campground on Disney property where I can get some perks of being at a Disney Resort." They seem to put minimal effort into it. The bath houses were clean-ish, one of the two toilets didn't work. I logged a work order and it wasn't fixed by the time we left. Generally the resort feels like Disney's heart isn't in it and they just want to do the bare minimum to keep it operating.
RangerSuch a beautiful and clean campground. Our "Premium Meadows" site was huge, directly across the street from the trading post and pool, and backed up to a trail. Classy neighbors and very quiet. Amazing value to be in the middle of Disney for $130/night. A short golf cart ride to the Magic Kingdom ferry, and a similarly short ride to the buses to other parks. Definitely recommend the golf cart rental- so much easier and more fun than waiting for buses. The Hoop Dee Doo was awesome- a ton of food and pretty funny. Both pools were super clean and not crowded- open late too which was fun. This campground is so nicely wooded and full of paths. We can't wait to return.

Stayed at site 019 for 5 nights at the end of April in a 30’ travel trailer. The site backs up to an area of low grasses, bushes and palms with tall pines nearby. There is a ranger trail the runs behind the site as well but we never saw any riding past. There is a road not far away but it’s in a suburban area and I didn’t find it to be a problem. We were usually out hiking and swimming during the day and the nights just had a low hum of far off traffic. You could still hear nature all around. The trails are absolutely gorgeous. Natural palms growing among tall pines. We saw so many deer I lost count and we could hear the males in the distance. Also spotted a young alligator walking on a trail near the spring. The gopher tortoises are out in full force in the mid afternoon. Didn’t spot a bear though. We didn’t want to leave at the end of our trip. And would’ve stayed longer if our schedules allowed. Would highly recommend.
GuideThe sites and facilities are nice. But the campground is huge and they used to have great transportation around the property and to the Disney parks in the area. Now they seem to be cutting costs and transportation is unreliable. Sadly the solution is to rent electric carts at additional expense to an already top dollar charge to stay there. Very dissatisfied.
GuidePerfect camping for Disney vacation. Sites big enough. Bathrooms always clean. Took boat to magic kingdom straight from campground. Quiet.
Scout
Nice sized sites with a cement pad, picnic table, grill and trash can per site. Nice gravel drive for the RV. There are horse events, fun to watch., food truck available for breakfast and lunch day of event. Nice shade snd clean bathrooms. Only $17 if over 55. Right next to the west orange bike trail.
GuideFirst off, this is Disney doing Disney things. Campground is immaculate. Clean is an understatement. The pools are beautiful if aging a bit. I don't have much to add to all the other glowing comments about this place except...
Watch out for the trees in the back of your site. We had an oopsie that I missed while bringing my rig in. It was a bad week for me and trees tbh.
We have had 2 trips here, for my birthday. Using the transport system allows all the adults to party. Drinking around the World at Epcot or Drinking around the resorts, I highly advise making a game of both.
LegendPrivate sites, nice amenities, great park. Perfect!
GuideWe stayed at site 1001 which was a premium location right by a bus stop and across from the meadow trading post and pool. The down side is that you are literally at the bus stop which buses run from 7am til midnight which means you can not really sleep until after midnight. It is also right on the road so there are trucks and golf carts driving and beeping all night. I loved the proximity to everything but it is very load and busy.

This site is a gated community not a camp ground
ScoutThis campground truly has the magic of Disney in it. The atmosphere is so relaxing and enjoyable. Very clean throughout!
GuideThe campgrounds are amazing! Extremely clean, great location, and spacious. We went for the weekend, didn't go into any parks, and had a great time just hanging out. Will definitely go back.
GuideAs an Orlando native, I’m sad to say I never spent time hear growing up. Oh how I missed out!
The best advice I can give is to SKIP THE PARKS when staying here. There’s so much fun to be had, outside of your normal camping experience. Rent a canoe or a bike, go on a fishing excursion with a guide, make tie dye shirts, watch movies by the campfire, or just rent a golf cart ($$) and go looping for hidden treasure!
We stayed in a tent loop right across from the swimming pool, walking distance to the pool and Bike Barn (where you rent everything and play). It wouldn’t be necessary to have a cart if that’s all you were after but the internal bus system is a bit miserable IMO and looping is part of the fun here.
Our stay was early August and it was about $50 a night with AP discount. Or golf cart each night was around $62, yikes. They find a way to getcha.
For meals, they have one takeout place (P&J’s) an expensive dining show (Hoop De Doo), and Trail’s End which is only open for breakfast and dinner. They do have a food truck round up most nights and they have a walk up bar open all day.
The site itself was great, electric and water right there. No fire pit as Disney is strict on the type you can have, but if you are lucky you can find one on the “Wandering Fire Pit” group.
Haven’t stayed in an RV on site but they seem level but some are easier to back in than others. No pull through. If you get there you can ask for something different than what you are assigned or even ask the folks up front for details on your sites width.
We enjoyed and will be back to stay as soon as we can. In the interim, we visit often to enjoy a meal and fun!
TravelerPremium preferred campsite.
Everything was great, from the cleanliness, activities, maintenance to the camp sites if something is wrong. Will definitely be back.
GuideThere were a lot of kids but very respectful.
GuideQuiet woodsy spread out CG small loops so always close to the bathhouse. Dirt sites ours was level. Cell service was good. CG about a mile from the Springs and playground. Springs and Playground are very nice but very busy on the weekends. Publix is less than 5 minutes of you forget something.
TravelerNice camping close to the parks with shuttles
GuideVery nice park, some sites have more privacy and shade than others. Swimming area is beautiful but a long walk from campground.
TravelerWe arrived on a Thursday. The campground was about half full. Went the springs on Friday. Not very crowded at all. The staff that in interacted with were all friendly. Facilities were all clean and well maintained.
TravelerAs per Disney standards this campground is top notch and worth every penny. 2 pools and easy transportation to all the parks. The sites are level, clean and have great hookups. Our pups especially like the dog park. Don’t forget to rent a golf cart!
RangerStayed as a base camp for visiting the parks. Everything was perfect except the bus schedules were a little slow (long waits) and directions for which bus to get to which park was a little confusing even when using the Disney app.
Otherwise the campground was perfect. Clean bathrooms, enough space at each campsite, and sites were paved and level
GuideYes it’s expensive, it’s Disney. That said the camp site is very well maintained as all Disney properties are. All sites are on concrete which for us required no side to side leveling. The site was large enough to fit our 30ft airstream with the truck parked in front. Our campsite seem to not have as much room as others on the passenger side. Behind concrete pad is gravel, this is where the picnic table and grill is. There is plenty of room for chairs and a fire pit in the graveled area. The restrooms and showers are very clean and has great water pressure. All comfort stations have an ice machine and it’s only $2 for a bag of ice. The gift shops sells liquor, wine, beer, plates, condiments and other items if you forget them. There are playgrounds spread throughout the campsite. We stayed with four other families and requested to be next to each other and Disney honored the request. We rented a golf cart on property, definitely worth it. You can also rent from off property vendors as well. You have a great view of the fireworks from the lake and beach area. They have a restaurant and food trucks in this area as well. Plenty of fun activities for the kids no need to go to the park everyday when staying here.
GuideOur first time at Fort Wilderness. It has everything you need. You don’t even have to hit the theme park.
