Hi friends!
Wanted to give my thoughts on tent camping at the fort for those who are curious. I was the only adult, my husband joined later in the trip. I have four boys ages 6-15.
we were in loop 1500 which I definitely loved. Close to the Meadows and pretty quiet until Friday night.
I highly recommend bringing a rug or foam to put on the floor of the tent. What I thought was going to be more like sand were super pokey rocks.
we super loved the pool and are always impressed with the lifeguards.
I didn’t realize there weren’t fire pits but I wasn’t super keen on a fire anyway.
the biggest thing for me was that renting a cart is nearly required. Especially if you plan on going to the Settlement for dinner or coffee in the morning. This makes it a little less affordable but a whole lotta fun. Also, masks are required and enforced on golf carts (which makes little sense since they aren’t required on the pool deck even when walking around but I digress).
from Sunday to Friday the loop behind us was completely empty. The vibe was super chilled and quiet Come Friday evening though it was like party central. Lots of lights and loud talking/yelling/screaming. We didn’t mind it was just really funny how dramatically it changed. They had opened the behind loop and it really was different.
Overall we LOVED camping. The biggest con for us is that on Friday we did go to Hollywood studios and honestly coming back from the park to sleep in a tent was exhausting I need ac and a comfy bed after a park day for sure. but overall it was a wonderful experience.
