Fort Wilderness Campgrounds
(Link for directions on the right hand column)
*We have reserved 2 sites within CREEKSIDE MEADOWS (30 campers per site…brief description of the site is below).
*Please stop by guest registration on your way in to the campground to pick-up a parking pass and to receive directions to our group site ~ reservation is under CALUSA Tribe of YMCA Indian Princesses.
*Parking is strictly enforced, by Disney’s “finest”, to 3 cars per group (for our tribe that’s essentially our Feast-finder’s wheels & trailer). So, once you have completed your tent set-up, plan on parking at the main lot adjacent to the entrance and using bikes or Disney transportation back to our site.
