Hello fellow travelers! We're Jamie and Tonya—weekend warriors traveling part-time with our two adventure cats, Simon and Annie. Our RV journey started in October 2022 when we realized how much more fun travel could be with a camper and the freedom to explore at our own pace.
We're not full-time nomads. We're real people with jobs who maximize every weekend getaway and vacation. If you dream about your next trip while sitting at your desk, you're in the right place.
On Glamp Review, we help families plan memorable RV trips on a budget with honest, comprehensive campground reviews—the good, bad, and ugly.

What is "The Lakeshore Effect"?
At Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, something is happening that has many Fort Fans — and Fort Natives — genuinely concerned.
Across vlogs, comment sections, and social media groups, the reaction has been intense. The reason? Disney is moving forward with a massive, modern deluxe Disney Vacation Club resort — Lakeshore Lodge — just footsteps from the back door of the Fort’s Settlement area.
What we’re witnessing is what I’m calling The Lakeshore Effect.
This isn’t just about construction.
It’s about culture.
It’s about atmosphere.
It’s about whether Fort Wilderness can remain… Fort Wilderness.
A Multi-Year Documentary Series
This will be a multi-year series, with periodic episode releases leading all the way to the opening of Lakeshore Lodge.
The mission is simple:
To document every stage of construction — and more importantly — to track the real impact this resort has on the Fort Wilderness community.
Our first episode, “Disney Is Changing Fort Wilderness — Forever,” captured the initial shockwave. When it premiered, it surpassed 50,000 views in its first week, generated over 1,000 likes, and sparked hundreds of passionate comments. For our channel, those numbers were unprecedented — and they revealed something important:
This isn’t casual concern.
It’s real worry from people who love this place.
The Next Chapter – 2/27/26
On February 27, 2026, the next episode premieres:
“The Resort Fort Wilderness Was SUPPOSED To Get.”
This episode was directly inspired by your comments.
Many Fort Natives have voiced concerns about what happens when you introduce 2,000+ additional guests from Lakeshore Lodge into an area designed around campsites, golf carts, and quiet woodland seclusion. What happens to foot traffic? To boat transportation? To dining? To the Settlement experience?
But the biggest revelation in this episode goes deeper.
Disney once had a plan — a plan that would have complemented Fort Wilderness instead of standing apart from it.
Through weeks of research and story development, we uncovered Buffalo Junction, a planned Phase II expansion of Fort Wilderness. Unlike Lakeshore Lodge — which is its own standalone luxury resort — Buffalo Junction was conceptually tied to the Fort’s identity and Western theming.
Three weeks of research went into building this story because this isn’t speculation — it’s history.
This is a Community-Driven Series
This journey will continue to evolve — shaped by Fort Wilderness fans and their feedback.
