FL - Disney's Fort Wilderness



We were on site 1510 in one of the partial hookup (electric and water) looops. Great site, we'd love to get it again sometime. We were right alongside a grassy area along a waterway.


Kevin was able to fish every day and had some good luck with lots of little panfish. Theo helped on the first couple of days, but then Grandma and Grandpa came and were a little more exciting in their "bus" (class A motorhome) - they were on the next loop over and we could walk along the waterway to get there.


Theo enjoying a Mickey Bar at Thanksgiving at the Fort (mom and Grandpa loved the desserts too!)


We had a fun (but chilly!) time at Chip and Dale's campfire sing-along and movie!



We rented a canoe and had a great time paddling around the waterways.


We were so glad we brought our bikes - Fort Wilderness is BIG, we were glad to have them for getting around as well as just for getting out and about.

SC - Colleton State Park

We just stayed here one night on our way down to FL, but it was a nice little park. The front gate closes at 7:00 p.m. - literally closes and locks! We got in around 7:30 p.m. Yikes! Thank goodness for the very kind and helpful fellow camper that came along with keys (apparently he stays enough to have his own set of keys!) - he let us in and escorted us to our site and made sure we were all set...that's southern hospitality for you!

We didn't take pics because it was so dark when we got in and we hit the road early, but we had a nice pull-through site really close to the comfort station and it was also right by an activities cabin and access to a small river - seems like this is a really buzzing spot in the summer season.
