brerroadrunner 8 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The Fort's Comfort Stations-aka-Shower House-are one of the reasons people return to Fort Wilderness. Since they have been refurbished, they are nicer then ever. What's your opinion? Have you encountered better elsewhere?Just a refresher, they come equipped with heat and AC, hot and cold running water, at least two sinks with mirrors and electrical outlets, 4 bathroom stalls- one ADA compliant and 4 shower stalls with one being ADA compliant, nicely decorated in tile all around they are cleaned regularly.CS also house a very nice laundry area, with approximately 5 washers and 6 dryers to each one. Vending machine with laundry condiments available. Remember to bring your quarters.These are the best facilities I have used in our 30 years of camping. They keep me coming back.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I LOVE the Fort Wilderness Comfort Stations.However, as I do go around to a few other campgrounds, I am finding some of the newer private ones are starting to develop private unisex "bathrooms" I've seen some where since they are fairly new they rival and/or exceed the cleanliness and/or niceness of the Fort. However, most of these places have been small operations and probably used residential fixtures and sources which will not hold up to constant abuse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daddyphat808 - Eric 16 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Those comfort stations at the fort are top notch for sure! After the refurb they got even better. The last CG we were at I walked down to take a shower as the shower in the Jayco is a tad small for me. The look of their comfort station made me turn around and go back to our camper.

ntsammy5 7 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Sometimes I spend the entire trip in stall #2! :flush2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 We haven't been camping as long as most of you but I've never seen anything like Fort Wilderness CS. I don't usually use the CS but at the Fort... no problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Lisa 53 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I have only been to one campground that had nicer comfort stations than the Fort. What I liked about that campground is that the showers were in private rooms with a real door. I was once "peek-a-booed" by a young boy while showering and while it was an innocent thing, I prefer knowing that I am completely alone when showering. :flush2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JCJRSmith 6 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Started camping with my folks when I was about 9 years old. I am now 50, and to date, I have never seen CS like they have at the Fort. Simply amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessrick 10 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I like the remodel they did except for the sink faucets. Sure, you can throw a washcloth over the sensor & it will remain running longer, but I don't like the inability to regulate the water temperature. When they first put them in, they were obviously having problems setting the temperature or getting it to stay consistant because a few times I could have made hot tea with the water coming out.I do like the trends in some campgrounds for the individual bathrooms, but I have noticed they tend to stay messy with water on the floor, etc, since it is all one unit.

Avatab.... Steve 124 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hey, is this another "FiendFlush 2011" thread??? :flush2:Two things I would like to see:More comfort stations. Some of the loops share one CS and from some sites it is a real hike.Family restrooms. When pushing a stroller it's nice to be able to roll in and close the door and have room to manuever, change diapers, etc. I think they did put one in at the Meadows Pool Bldg.Like Carol said, I have also seen some newer campgrounds that had a row of single restrooms that have sink, toilet and shower all in one room. Gotta like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just Whipperwhirl 24 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 They are very nice - I still wear flip flops in the shower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I have never seen any nicer but we stay mostly at Florida state and county parks when not at the fort. While most have been clean, none are as nice as FW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 They are the cleanest I have ever been in. But I only use them when I am out looping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stefa70 205 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great comfort stations! Cool when it's hot, warm when it's cold. Almost always super clean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BouncingTiggers 98 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The CS at FW are the best I've come across. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anolefan 8 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 They are the benchmark for us wherever we go. Of course the Fort was our first ever camping trip, so there is little hope any other campground or resort will ever compare.They are super clean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yet, strangely, the mens is always clean... lucky for me the park is so little used that we are usually the only visitors. I just use the mens shower and lock the door.

Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 150 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I like that they are so clean. Sometimes I think the showers are cleaner than mine at home! Maybe I will shut ours down once a day for the kids to clean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salamander 1 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I have never seen the CS a mess, they are always clean and tidy! And I too wear my flip-flops in the shower (just something about it not being my shower). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
