New York to Fort Wilderness in Disney

Went to DC from FL this year. We like Walmarts but did stay at the KOA in SC just off of exit 33. Was good for an overnighter and most there seemed to be doing the same thing. Not in VA, but Cherry Hill is on the beltway in Maryland and real close to I-95. Its a really nice campground.

We like The RV Resort at Carolina Crossroads right off of I-95 just into North Carolina. It's great for overnight with all pull thru sites. If you arrive after 6 PM they have Overnight Express Sites for $30 with full hook ups.

And yes, Disney does indeed have Pet Loops and dog walks.

Straight down I-95 to I-4 west....and there it is !

Americamps in Va.....as mentioned before is good...I stopped there on the way back....where I live in Southern NJ, our first stop is 11 hours....Florence, SC. Former KOA, still decent for an overnighter...and 3 gas stations right there at the exit. To get to the Florence CG., make a U-turn, go under I-95 and make a left. A sign is there.

Next day...300 miles to KOA in St. Marys Ga.....Ga. Exit #1. After that, a short run 3 (?) hours to WDW...and you're rested at arrival. Fort Wilderness... make sure you have a reservation. MUST. If not...many CGs in the area. But find one and reserve a site. WDW is popular, y'know.

Some do the trip in 2 days...others, like me, in 3...still others do it non-stop. Your choice...and have a great time. Be aware, however, that Disney (FT. Wilderness) does NOT allow dogs in the CG. However, they do offer a on-site kennel ($$).

Now for traffic, I would recommend the Baltimore By-Pass (NOT the tunnel) then the DC Beltway, then the Richmond ByPass (unless you are stopping at the Americamp CG.) I-695, I-495 then I-295.

Not sure where you got that from??? Disney has "PET LOOPS".. and dog walks, and a large , fenced in dog run... in fact, the door run has waste bags to clean up and water for the dogs...

We have been taking our labs there for close to 30 years....

Sorry. Double post.Not sure why.

I agree with South of the Border. 100 full hookup sites. Some pull throughs and free wifi. You can use the swimming pools at the hotel. $32 a night. Easy on and off I-95.

We are just north of Philly..... for you, Americamps in Ashland VA would be about 7 hours or so depending on exactly where you leave from , and the time of day..

From there,north Georgia would be the next stop in that time frame.....

Try the trip planner at KOA.COM.
It is under the "Find & Reserve" tab now.

I find that the KOA banner takes some of the guess work out of finding a "good" place to park. You usually cough up an extra $10 to $15 per night for the quality. They aren't perfect. I found one that was barely adequate.

Check out south of the border (SOB) on 95 near Dillon SC. You don't have to buy anything while there but it helps our economy!
