Can we set up a small tent on our CABIN site????

[WelcomeHome]

Hi! I'm thrilled because we just booked a Cabin at Fort Wilderness for Dec 30 and 31, 2018!

My wife and I are in our sixties now and we haven't camped since my Daughter was young BUT I have a 4 year old Grand Daughter now and she would like to try camping!!!! Since were flying to Orlando (from New York) to celebrate New Year's Eve 2018 with my Daughter, Her Husband & My Grand Daughter, I though the Fort Wilderness Cabin would be a perfect way to celebrate New Year's Eve AND go camping at the same time.

Since I know a bunch of "traditionalist" don't consider it real camping if your staying in a cabin, I was wondering if I could set up a small tent somewhere on my cabin property so my Grand Daughter and I could sleep outside in the tent????

Does any body have any experience or information about this????

Bet wishes,
David

I don't know the official answer. I have seen a small tent on a cabin deck before.

David,

Welcome to the camping forum. I'm not sure about a tent on a cabin site. I'm sure someone will let you know soon. But as for being a traditionalist, if you are at the Fort, you're a "camper" at one of the best places you could ever camp. Lots of campgrounds have cabins now. If you're enjoying the atmosphere and the activities, you're one of us.

The "official" answer is no. However, very few, if any rules at Ft Wilderness are actually enforced these days. Pretty much anything goes.

We asked this very question at the Fort front desk a few years ago. We were told, "if you can find a spot within your cabin's site, go for it." Here's the thing though, you can ask 5 different cast members and get 5 different answers.
