73 Days to Go: Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground

Welcome to my hotel series! My family may prefer to stay at the Pop Century Resort for our own reasons, but there are plenty of other hotels. And they may prove more suitable for your trip.

Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground was our old stomping grounds and one of my favorites. The rooms are actually cabins set up in loops off the main road. Each cabin contains a kitchen (complete with refrigerator and stove), a living room with a Murphy bed, a bathroom, and a bedroom with a king and bunk beds. One can easily fit a family of about six to eight (or just a party of that many).

The resort is set in a beautiful outdoor setting, complete with a view of the lake. There are trials that you can bike along or take a golf cart as well. Guests can also rent jetskis or boats to go on the lake with. Each loop comes wth their own pools (where laundry services are also located) for a swim. My family loved to go there for a late night, post-park swim.

The Trading Post serves a store for souvenirs to a grocery. Located near the Trading Post is Trail's End, a buffet serving good old American food. My sister loves their ribs, I love their fried chicken.
