When someone mentions a vacation in Disney world, what comes to mind? It will be Disney's joy rides, mingling with cartoon characters and staying in luxury hotels isn't it? Most people do not know this but you do not have to stay in expensive Disney resorts or hotels when you visit Disney World during your vacations.

If you love the outdoors and nature, then Disney World actually have a huge camping ground called Fort Wilderness Campground for tent camping, RV camping or you can stay in prefabricated log cabins which are fully equipped with dining table, kitchen, color TV with VCD/DVD players and air conditioning. Not much of an adventure camp but camping with comfort and convenience. Hey, you are on a vacation after all so why not live in comfort and experience the Disney vacation hospitality?

All camp sites at Fort Wilderness Campground are arranged in loops. There are 28 loops, with loops 100-2,000 for tents and RV campers and loops 2100-2800 offering cabins for rent. All camp sites are provided with barbeque grills, a picnic table and waste containers. No fires are allowed except in the grills and designated campfire sites.

In Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground, you can find recreational and convenient facilities such as video arcades, Disney movies, dinner theater, swimming pools, beach, water ski rental, a small zoo, payphones, restaurants, convenience stores, horseback ridings, basket ball, tennis and volley ball courts....etc You will never be left with nothing to do during your camping vacation at Disney World.

Transportation in Disney Fort Wilderness

Access to other parts of Disney World is very convenient. You can get to Magic Kingdom by boat from Fort Wilderness Landing and to Epcot by monorail. Buses serve all other Disney World's attraction from the campground. However, the bus services at Fort Wilderness are somewhat chaotic and confusing. So you must be very careful in ascertaining which bus to take and are there any bus transfers to your destination to any part of Disney World.

For example, buses serving destinations outside the campground depart from 2 locations, The Reception Outpost and the Pioneer Hall. This means that you have to keep track of which destination each bus depot serves.

Weather Forecast during Disney vacation

While planning a Disney camping vacation and you plan to rent a tent or have a RV camp, you have to take the weather into consideration as you will be outdoor most of the time and tornadoes are known to have a preference for Fort Wilderness during tornado season. The tornado storms could be very violent if you are caught in the middle of a storm during your Disney vacation.

Nearly every state in the Union is RV friendly, and then there is Hawaii. Finding RV facilities takes a bit of creativity and effort, so we've done the footwork for you.

Places to Stay in Your RV in Hawaii

Hawaii may seem like the ideal place to live. Beautiful beaches, perfect temperature and breathtaking natural scenery all grace these islands. There are also major cities, and many different farming and industries located here. But what happens if you live in Hawaii and want to take a vacation? You can't easily find your way to another state (flying across the ocean to California can be expensive), so many people choose to take their recreational vehicles on a trip. Staying at one of the Hawaii RV facilities (whether you live in Hawaii or not) is a great way to see the state.

Of course it isn't easy to get an RV to Hawaii from the mainland, so there is not much call for RV sites and other RV related amenities on the islands of Hawaii. However, since there are ferries and bridges between the islands, you can drive around on Hawaii once you have landed. RV rentals can be arranged for your trip so that you can stay in an RV while visiting the state, or if you live in Hawaii, you can easily rent or purchase an RV so that you can take a nature trip throughout the many different terrains and ecosystems in the area.

One place that offers RV facilities and rentals is Island RV of Hawaii, located on the Big Island. This island offers 1500 miles of coastal driving, so it's perfect for RV lovers to navigate. The many state parks on the Big Island offer differing levels of RV camping amenities, so you can choose to stay at a spot that offers full hookups, or you can rough it a little with no hook ups at all. Island RV of Hawaii does offer shuttles from the airport, meaning you can fly to Hawaii and immediately pick up your RV rental. Then you can hit the road and enjoy the view.

The best spot for parking your RV on the Big Island is arguably Spencer Beach Park. It is a good place to start your trip around the Big Island, and is considered perfect for your first overnight RV stay here. The beach offers different amenities than you might be used to on the mainland, aside from the usual RV hookups. You get the soothing sound of the ocean water to lull you to sleep, as well as a place to lounge and truly get a feel for the Hawaiian lifestyle. There are also Tennis and Volleyball courts available for use.

Staying in Hawaii doesn't mean you have to sleep in a hut with a thatched roof, or a large expensive luxury hotel. For those families that truly enjoy the RV way of life, there are plenty of spots that make a great place to stay.

Camping is a lot of fun for people who enjoy the opportunity to spend some quieter moments in the woods. For individuals who are able to get away for a few days, the experience can be invigorating. The challenge of going without many routine life conveniences in itself can be gratifying to those who like to "rough it." One of the greater challenges, however, is faced when the camping trip is accompanied by others who are not quite as exuberant.

Let's suppose you have big plans for a long weekend in the woods. You take half a day off of work on Friday and intend to stay until Monday evening. This time, though, it's a family trip. You are anxious to experience a few refreshing days of family time away from the city or suburbia, but your spouse has marginal interest and your children are easily bored. What do you do?

In order to realize the benefits of both competing needs (i.e. time away in the woods and happy family experience), you make some adjustments to accommodate the preferences of everyone. You, for example, may be the energetic adventurer who would be more than content with a sleeping bag, clean water, and a hunting bow. Your wife, on the other hand, might enjoy walking in through the woods for a few hours, but at the end of the day prefer a warm bath in a hotel room. And for the kids, baseball and video games are their sources of fun. Trouble is brewing unless you plan ahead.

Though it will take some effort, you can meet at least a portion of the interests of each person.

So one of the keys to creating a win-win scenario concerns both how you approach the trip and what you bring.

Some recommendations follow.

STANDARD STUFF

*Locate an established camp ground that is secure and safe.

*Spend a little investigation time on the Internet to locate a camp ground that offers some flexibility for family preferences and optional activity opportunities.

*The family tent should be bigger than a, um, pup tent. Decide in advance through family conversations if everyone would prefer to stay together in one large tent, one for the adults with another for the kids, or (especially given older kids of different genders) a separate tent for each person.

*Warm (warm!) and appropriately sized sleeping bags. And did I mention making sure they are warm...

*Some form of cushioning for under the sleeping bags. This could be an air mattress or perhaps a foam cushion.

*Flashlights and extra batteries that do not have an expiration date from the turn of the century.

*Matches, and lots of them, in a waterproof container. Even if the matches do not drop into a river, humidity can make them might more difficult to strike.

*Toilet paper. Though you should expect that camp site restrooms will keep ample supply of toilet paper, do not bet your embarrassing discomfort on it. And if you are at a camping area that does not happen to provide toilet facilities, you - the adventurous one - might find it thrilling to make do with leaves. But you will be the only one. On second thought, if the camp site does not have toilets, look for another.

*If you bring any canned foods, do not forget the can opener. Having done that once in the woods myself, it was not a fun-reinforcing experience. And I was hungry...

*A basic first aid kit.

*Extra clothing. Especially if there is a forecast of any rain.

EXTRA STUFF

Though certainly not comprehensive, here are a few additional items to consider bringing along in order to help make your time in the woods a positive experience for everyone. The more you bring on the trip, the more you may feel like you are simply dragging your home life into another environment. So you must weigh the balance.

*Bear in mind that you are headed for the woods, not a hotel. Bring soap, shampoo, towels, and other bathroom items that you might ordinarily expect to find supplied to you elsewhere.

*Similarly, if you are most comfortable sleeping on a pillow, bring one or more.

*For family members who need corrective lenses, bring an extra pair of glasses or contacts. If your primary items are lost, you do not want vision to be compromised in the woods.

*Camera, film (if using exposure film), camcorder, battery chargers, and binoculars. There are often beautiful memories you will want to capture from your visit with nature.

*Sun screen for warmer weather. Tree leaves will generally protect exposed skin in the woods, but rays do get through and you do not want to spend days 2 and 3 of your trip burned from the previous day's activities.

*Pain relievers, antacids (consider, after all, what you are likely to be eating...), and medication that family members typically need.

*One or more sets of Walkie-Talkies. If anyone wanders off and gets lost, a means of communication may be critical.

*Kitchen comforts, such as snacks, coffee, dishes, plates, cups, baggies for food storage.

*Games and playing cards. Maybe even a football to toss around in open areas.

*TV guide. Ok. Maybe not...

The main point to keep in mind is that when you are camped out in the woods, most normal conveniences of the home are unavailable, so some family members could feel trapped. You can help to ensure the trip creates a very positive set of memories by respectfully taking all participants into account. You won't regret it!

Many camping enthusiasts enjoy the comfort of canvas tents while they are out in the wilderness. The only thing that is certain about nature is that nothing is certain. Canvas tents are durable and can withstand rain and wind much better than standard tents. They are generally well constructed using quality materials and are simple to set up. This is especially beneficial to the most common purposes for canvas tents, which is shelter for hunting and fishing trips.

Canvas tents offer sturdy walls, floor and roofing. They are usually accompanied by metal bars to secure the tent on site. In this instance, you will definitely get what you pay for. Canvas tents offer heavy duty zippers and high walls and ceilings. They are designed for the most comfort in camping by offering wilderness buffs an opportunity to stand up, walk around, stretch out or even sit down in a chair and relax. The high ceilings provide additional comfort to campers while also providing extra headroom. This comes in very handy, especially for the taller individual.

When shopping for canvas tents, it's a good idea to decide on a budget before you start browsing. If you know how much money you can spend, then you will be better prepared to make a decision and will be less likely to overspend. After all, you will need to save some money for the additional camping supplies that you will want to take along for the trip. It's always a good idea to work out a reasonable budget anytime before you make a substantial investment. When shopping around, keep in mind that canvas tents are more expensive than other models and can be priced at several hundred dollars each. For a model with more features, they can cost as much as $1,000.00 or slightly more.

There are a few bonus features to look for in canvas tents, including the presence of a back door to allow more air to circulate during the warm summer months and a tent bag for convenient storage and transportation. If possible, purchase a white canvas tent because the white color reflects light inside much better than colored tents. Before making a final decision, you may want to consider the weight factor. Larger tents are much heavier and can be more difficult to set up but, if that's what you need, then go for it. If a smaller lightweight tent will work for you, then consider that option as well.

Canvas tents are more expensive, but they are a true investment. A quality product, with proper care and maintenance, should last for up to 20 years or more. Now, that's a lot of camping.

Do unto your campsite and fellow campers as you would have them do unto you. This should be the motto for good camping etiquette. If you are planning a camping trip, there are a number of written and unwritten rules that you should follow in order to be a good patron to the campground and a good neighbor to those camping or enjoying the outdoors around you.

When you camp at a campground or state park, you may be given a list of rules when you enter the camping area and you will probably find rules and regulations posted throughout the area. Read these rules carefully and abide by them to help make your stay pleasant and everyone else's pleasant as well.

First and foremost if the rules say "don't do" something, then don't do it. If they require a dog on a leash, no pets at all or they ask you to stay within certain areas, there are probably good reasons for these rules. They might ask you not to bring pets because they attract other animals to the campsites such as coyotes or bears. Walking in undesignated areas might put you face to face with a bear or cause you to disrupt the natural surroundings.

Do not contaminate the water sources by dumping things in them and do not pick flowers or damage the vegetation in any way. It has been there for hundreds of years and it would be nice for it to continue to be there for hundreds of years in the future.

Keep your campsite clean and don't litter. Not only does it look bad and can damage the environment, but it also can encourage unwanted animals such as bears or raccoons to enter the area. Along these lines, do not feed the wild animals because it will keep them coming back.

Be respectful of your neighbors. Do not be loud and do not play your music loudly. Many campgrounds will ask that noise be kept to a minimum after a certain time. If you don't respect this rule, they might ask you to leave. Keep your pets quiet as well. If your dog has a tendency to bark at everything, you might want to leave them at home.

Bring along an extra card table and chairs with you if you have a large group or are having visitors while you are camping. You should never take the picnic table from a neighboring site even if it is vacant. If someone arrives late at night or early in the morning they would probably like for it to be in their site where it belongs.

Make sure that if you make a fire it is completely put out before you leave. Clean your campsite for the next camper. Whatever came with you should leave with you. This includes all your trash which can be disposed of in the trashcans that are throughout the campground or at the entrance to the park.

Think of your campsite as your home away from home. You would want your back yard kept clean and you wouldn't want someone to walk through your yard, throwing down a candy wrapper and trampling your flowers. Think of your surroundings as your backyard at home.

Aside from rules posted, much of the camping etiquette comes from common sense. Treat your neighbors and your surroundings as you would want them to be treated or would want them to treat you. It helps make your stay and the stay for those camping around you to be relaxing and enjoyable, which is what you want when you head to the outdoors on a camping vacation.
