Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
This decrease in the number of guests on each site applies to Premium Campsites, Premium Meadow Campsites, Full Hook-Up Campsites, Tent or Pop-Up Campsites, and Preferred Campsites. Those are ALL the campsites that are not the cabins at Fort Wilderness. The cabins at Fort Wilderness can accommodate up to 6 guests.
If you are visiting Fort Wilderness in 2025, you can still have 10 guests on your site, but beginning in 2026, you will only be able to have 8 guests per site. Make sure you plan accordingly and book the correct number of sites for your group. You don’t want to have to vote someone off the campsite if you thought you could have 9 people on your site.

I didn’t see a reason for this change. Do you know why?
We love the Cabins at Fort Wilderness. My personal line about camping is that I consider a hotel without room service to be camping. I am not cut out for RV, pop up, or tent camping, even though I can certainly understand the appeal and romance of it. I do hope that this does not impact too many people too adversely, even though this was not our thing. And maybe this is an indication that Disney intends to continue support for having the campsites, which would be positive. I know the concern that Disney would take them away has been around for a long time, and the Cabins going DVC probably sent those concerns through the roof. I hate to see when Disney takes away classics like campsites, even if I personally didn’t take advantage. 10 people on a campsite sounds like a lot – 8 still does as well. But as I’ve said, I wouldn’t know. That may be a typical number and a really unfortunate development for many people. I hope not.
