Memories...

My Grandparents used to take my three sisters and I to camp at Fort Wilderness almost every year. The sights, sounds, smells, all take me back to those days. I want to go and stay there again just to relive it.

They always had the cleanest washrooms of any campground we have ever been too. The showers were hot and clean. The trams (now buses) always seemed to come regularly. We had the perks of people staying in the luxery hotels for a fraction of the price. The campfire/sing-along/movie was always great fun. And we LOVE the Hoop-Dee-Doo revue! We enjoyed browsing in the trading posts more than any other store on property. Not sure why... We loved the Trail's End but that was back when they had make your own pizzas. I've eaten there once when it is a buffet too and it was very good, but just not quite the same. I remember meeting a boy while playing video games too

More recently we stayed in cabins and enjoyed those too. Yes, you have to take buses everywhere but if you have your own or a rental car, you can't beat having your car at your door for accessibility! We liked the full kitchen even though we really only used it for breakfast and light meals and snacks. We were able to sleep 6 comfortably (kids were small then - wouldn't fit six now!) The only thing I didn't like was the faint sulper smell in the water.
