Fodor's Review:

Bringing a tent or RV is one of the cheapest ways to stay on WDW property, especially considering that sites accommodate up to 10. Tent sites with water and electricity are real bargains. RV sites cost more but are equipped with electric, water, and sewage hookups as well as outdoor charcoal grills and picnic tables. Even with just a good tent and cozy sleeping bag you'll be relatively comfortable, since the campground has 15 strategically located comfort stations where you can take a hot shower, as well as laundry facilities, restaurants, a general store—everything you need. There are many activities to keep you occupied, such as tennis and horseback riding. Tents can be rented for $30 a night, so it's easy to camp here with virtually no gear of your own. Pros : Disney's most economical lodging; pets allowed ($5 nightly fee per campsite, not per pet). Cons : amount of walking within the camp (to reach the store, restaurants, etc.) can be a bit much for some; shuttle rides to Disney parks take too long; the bugs can be irritating especially around twilight, except in winter.
