Came here for a family reunion and was blown away by how nice this State Park resort is! We stayed in the Lodge, but there are also cabins available. Rooms in the Lodge are huge! Nice bed, large bathroom, TV, frig, coffee machine. Tons to do! Lake with beach area and snack bar, loads of hiking/biking trails, horseback riding, shooting clays, and a lovely golf course. Indoor pool, game room, a nice restaurant with bar area. Food was very good. Loads of meeting rooms. It was really nice. The staff bent over backwards to help in any way they could. Everyone was super friendly. Highly recommend!

My fiancée and I took a weekend getaway after he graduated grad school. We planned to stay Saturday night till Tuesday. The place was very disappointing. For one, the restaurant had a limited menu and sub-par food that was on the pricey side. There is also no other place to eat around there, so you have to eat at the restaurant. Additionally, on the first night we stayed the neighbors in the room beside us were loud (screaming and slamming doors) after 8pm, we were about to call the front desk but then they quieted down. Thinking that it would only be a one-night occurrence. On the second night, the neighbors were loud again resulting in us calling the front desk. They did send someone up to address the complaint, which didn't help. Then at 11:45pm that night, the neighbors had their TV up so loud that we could hear it through the wall. It was so loud that we were able to find the channel they were watching and turn our TV down and watch the program from their audio. We called the front desk and complained since it was late at night and we were trying to sleep. After 15 minutes of the noise still being an issue, we left at 12pm at night. Now we were told we were going to be contacted by the manager the next day since we had such an awful stay. They never contacted us until we contacted them. We have had email communication, but their response time is upsetting. They also blamed us for not notifying them the first night of the issue so they could resolve it. Which we didn't because the neighbors had quieted when we were going to call and we did not want to be difficult guest ourselves. They offered us a discount for our next stay because we were unhappy but we have no intentions of returning. We understand it is a resort/hotel and there will be issues but how the place responded and acted after the issue was very disappointing. I had been given many recommendations to stay there but I would not recommend this place to anyone.

My wife and I were married there 10 years ago and are having our family reunion there this year.
The renovations are amazing. The lodge is comfortable, welcoming, and first rate. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and make you feel like you are one of the family. I love the golf course and biking trails. My wife loves the hiking trails.
Make sure you go to the Cacapon mountain overlook at dawn and dusk. The view is awe-inspiring.
The cabins and Old Inn are more rustic but equally enjoyable for those who want something different.
Go any time of the year. This Park will not disappoint.

I am reviewing the swimming beach. Was very disappointed today - a Tuesday well before Labor Day - after driving an hour and a half to enjoy the park, and found it closed. I called the park office when I got there, and they told me the beach and boating are now only open weekends because school is back open and they don't have staff. It would have been nice if they had updated their park hours on the website and google listing. It looked like a beautiful facility, I'm only sorry we didn't get to enjoy it this time.
★★☆☆☆
The condition of the bath house at the beach section of the lake is deplorable. How anyone would ever even think of using that bathroom is beyond me. After being at the golf course and the lodge both of which are top notch and beautiful, we were truly shocked. Standing water and just generally all around disgusting.
