Beautiful park! We went for a hike and enjoyed the colors of the fall. We did the ridge line hike and also walked around the pond. There is a nice playground there as well. Later we drove up to the almost heaven swing. Wonderful views from the top. read more

The closer you get to the lake, the more flies and gnats but not too many mosquitoes. Best to come during the fall. Key highlights were the geocache at the highest point of the park and the Almost Heaven overlooking WV with VA, MD, and PA in the distance. read more

So good you'll want to gatekeep. Many great things to say. The rooms are modern, clean, and the bathroom stocked with local products. The building is well maintained, the views are gorgeous even driving up to the lodge. Easy access to hiking trails and the swimming beach right from the lodge. Each morning and evening I was able to hike. I came on a solo trip and felt extremely safe. The staff was helpful. And a special shoutout to Michaela in the restaurant--she made my "table for one" extremely comfortable both nights. My only regret is that I can't stay longer. Excited for all the return trips to come! read more

Rooms are fair. Dinner was chewy with under cooked vegetables. Staff was nice. Breakfast wasn't very good. Would not be my first choice for the night. Rates are high for what you received read more

Came for 2 nights stayed for 5!! Enough said! No really wonderful, dog friendly, people friendly, clean, comfortable, felt like home, hiking trails, parks, lakes, great food on property, awesome awesome customer service! From housekeeping to the wait staff to the front desk and all around this wonderful, peaceful peace of heaven we are already planning our next trip. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed around the clock. Let me tell you all that everyone who works here is a state employee and not part of a multinational hotel chain!! Pride screams from here. Our golden doodle karma came with us and had a great time meeting new people and making new friends just like we did!! We made so many new friends, it was nothing I had yet experienced! Most of the people we met were repeat guests! We were part of a couples wedding, part of a huge cousins club reunion, one after another of lifetime memories and new lifetime friends. We went as strangers and left as friends. I really can't find a way to say how I feel as we drive home today. Sad that it is over for now and so happy for things to come. If you can, come to Cacapon State Park Resort in West Virginia and stay at the resort or rent a cottage with your family and take in the wonderful wonderland that is this place!! read more

So beautiful- tons and tons of activités to do. It doesn't matter if you feel like taking a drive though to look at nature, hiking or biking the trails or heading to the beach there's new opportunities around every corner. I the directions through the park were labeled clearly and they had a bit of everything. read more

Lots to offer My kids and I love visiting state parks. They have so much to offer in one area. On a recent trip we passed right by this state park and decided to stop for a couple hours to stretch our legs and explore. They have great directional signs to tell you which way to go and what the park offers. We started off my heading to the swimming lake. They charge a small fee to swim at the lake. There is a small beach area. The bathroom/ shower house is very old and shows the original charm of the park. There are also several areas to hike from this parking lot. They have another section with basketballs courts, playground, nature center and pavilion. Also more hiking paths. The lodge area was recently renovated and really nice. There is a pool, hot tub, spa, restaurant, and outdoor area overlooking a golf course. The park also had a list of weekend activities to keep families entertained. Worth a stop if in the area. read more

Have been three times for either buffet or dinner menu. Comfortable seating, nice view of the golf course, and prompt service.

WV is beautiful. The resort and park here are quite pleasant. Cabin was comfortable, and breakfast in the resort building is reasonably priced. It's not gourmet but it works. I do hope they'll procure stronger coffee. Get the pancakes. A lot of views can be enjoyed from the lodge. The weight room and pool are on the small size. Yet the golf course is phenomenal. Family friendly and nice employees. Will be going back here. It's a nice break from the big city. read more

Found a hidden gem Very beautiful spot for drinks and snacks. Next trip we'll definitely try out dinner. Service was excellent even though the bar was busy. You must venture out to the outdoor seating that overlooks the park and golf course. Wings were top notch crispy with just enough sauce. The cauliflower bites were delicious with just enough seasoning. Relaxing place all the tables around us were enjoying their food as well. read more

We visited Cacapon resort State Park lodge and restaurant last night. Beautiful facility and being a Tuesday night was not very busy at all. Only two or three tables were occupied at 8 o'clock PM The menu is not overcrowded, but they have some great selections and a nightly special I believe. Prices are in range with other like places The tables and especially the chairs were extremely comfortable and plenty of room to move around This is also a nice place to stay I will be going back read more

Clean. Beautiful. Reasonable. Quiet. A great place for a vacation! People were very friendly.

I really like this park. It has a very nice lake for swimming and boating, breathtaking scenery, nature shows and magic shows, and so much more. The lodge features a Dover Impulse elevator and a very nice game room as well as a magic show, and there are rustic cabins to rent as well. The rustic cabins have fireplaces, which are very useful because even during the summer it can get cold in the park. It's been a very long time since I have been here, I was only a kid when I came here, but hopefully, at some point, I can come back here. read more

Spent the weekend in April. We loved it. Clean, comfortable, well maintained. Beautiful setting, 15 min drive to Berkeley Springs to take a mineral bath and then come back to Cacapon Resort spa and have a massage with Greg ( ask for deep disuse massage, you will come out a reborn person). One disappointed was the restraunt. The service was excellent but the food..... don't go for those daily specials - terrible ( especially if it is a prime rib), if you have to eat there, choose from an appetizer menu , basic green salad is good, but not the main course. We tried prime rib and Alfredo spaghetti with scallops. Both were terrible and we left most of it. Onion soup was barely ok, chicken wings from the appetizer menu was good ( in comparison with everything else). Excellent service but terrible food at the restaurant. Lukewarm service of the hotel (reception) staff and excellent quality of the lodge accommodation. (Go figure). The spa at the lodge was a perfect middle - very good service, excellent massage ( by Greg -the best!) and very nice and clean spa setting. If you can, go midweek. Too crowded on the weekends but midweek is perfect. read more

Cacapon State Park is located 10 minutes from my cabin, where I primarily lived since the first days of this never-ending pandemic. With two children, and active dog, and my my family's love for hiking and adventure, you can imagine that I know this park well at this point. But, there is still so much to explore! Here are some highlights we've discovered in the past two years, knowing that there is absolutely more to discover. 1. The trails. Hiking here is ALWAYS a good idea. Four out of four seasons are beautiful. Best part of any hike? Even on weekends and holidays, even in the most beautiful of weather, the trails are (for some reason) never full of people. It's such a lovely environment, truly a "hidden gem." Recently, one of our favorite trails, I forget its name, surprised us with a newly installed rope swing from one of the tall trees. Thanks, park rangers! 2. The beach. My husband and toddler spent some days at the beach this past summer while I was working and they both declared them to be the best days ever. There is a pizza stand, lifeguards, and fellow beach-goers are friendly. 3. The recently opened Lodge! The restaurant, the decor inside, the pool, it is all wonderful. Newly opened and so far well-maintained and managed with care, it is a solidly nice place to stay, visit, and dine. 4. The playground is like three playgrounds in one. If you have little kids, go there immediately. My favorite part is the tiny play cabin with a kitchen inside. 5. Apparently there is a dog park now, recently opened in 2021. Will check it out soon and report back! Additionally, you can rent boats, you can fish, you can reserve event spaces. We have seen beautiful weddings and fun parties hosted at the state park. Horseback riding, golfing, you can rent cabins within the park... need I go on? Visit Cacapon State Park today! read more

Thank you WV for improving such a gem. Great golfing, hiking trails that are dog friendly, beach area, basketball courts, pavilions, and the lodge is very comfortable. The restaurant has four outdoor tables that are dog friendly. Food is solid... rice bowl with salmon, beet salad, burger and much more. Take a hike and chill on back patio with views of golf course and mountains. Easy hikes and more advance and now mountain biking. read more

This is our third or fourth time eating at Prospects; we usually sit in the dining room versus the bar area as I'm not in favor of TVs in an area where were eating a meal. This little gem is located inside Cacapon Sate Park. It's a lovely drive up to the restaurant and through the park and I highly recommend giving it a visit. Sorry for just two pictures, but I can explain! Hubby and I both ordered the cheeseburger on a crisscross bun with a side of french fries. I have to say, it was a very good burger; at least in my top four for this general area. My dessert was some concoction of caramel, cake, mousse with a crunch in there someplace. I forget the name of what it was, but it was REALLY good. Hubby ordered the berry pie and said it was OK but in all fairness, I make pies from scratch using lard so it's hard to duplicate at a restaurant what I do at home. Lol. In warmer months, they have outdoor seating overlooking the golf course and mountains. It truly is a treat for the eyes as well as the stomach so be sure to give this little place a try! And if you're into spas, you'll definitely want to check their spa out. It's not a day spa like everywhere else in the area but a true resort spa. It's a great couples getaway as the guys can go golfing and the gals can make a spa day of it. read more

Not sure if we came at bad time of the year (early Dec), my experience isn't wonderful. The staff were great, but the food is not so good. Ordered the prime rib on the menu, over cooked, very tough to chew (only two bites for me), frozen veggies. The best thing was the dinner rolls. However the park is nice for us to give it a try again in next summer. read more

Stopped by for a snack and drink in early October. What friendly staff and delicious crab soup! The weather was incredible so we sat outside and soaked up the mountain air. I definitely recommend the crab soup -- very creamy and big hunks of crab. Afterwards we drove around the park and was so impressed by how clean and relaxing the lake was, there were also a bunch of hiking trails we will check out next time. Thanks Nathan for being a great server! read more

We ended up here for a three day weekend by accident. It was just what we needed. Very dog friendly (we were traveling with our 75 lbs lab). My only disappointment was that because it was a last minute event I was unable to book a session at the spa. read more

I have been visiting Cacapon since the 1980s, it's a nice, short get-away from my home in the DC suburbs. My husband and I visited this weekend and were a bit disheartened by a few things. First, we have not been able to get a massage there for at least 2 years because there is never anyone available when we visit. I have tried calling at least a month in advance and, when they FINALLY return my call (last time I called 3 times before they returned it...) they tell me they don't schedule that far in advance. When I wait a couple of weeks to call, then, lo and behold, they are already booked up. This weekend, we had 3 other things go wrong: 1) the bathroom door came off its track and we couldn't get it back on; 2) my husband could not use the fitness room because neither his nor the maintenance person's key would open the door, and 3) the deadbolt on our room kept sticking and made it difficult for us to close our door when we were leaving. We love visiting Cacapon and truly hope that these problems are temporary and are fixed soon, especially the problems getting good service at the spa. read more

We live just a few miles away from Cacapon State park and consider ourselves lucky to live so close. The park is beautiful and well maintained. It has added several new trails recently and is putting in a frisbee golf course. We've eaten at the newly remodeled restaurant once and enjoyed it. There is plenty of parking at the restaurant and trail heads. The trails are well marked. I would suggest checking the map signs at one of the new trailheads for a more updated map than what's on their website. read more

Cacapon is a beautiful resort in a beautiful setting. It is a great place to relax and decompress amidst the beautiful mountain scenery. Their food is well prepared and presented and the bartender was skilled. I ordered a classic martini as a test. A classic martini is a simple drink but one that, for an unknown reason, presents difficulty for many bartenders. The one I had at Cacapon Resort was prepared perfectly. read more

When Covid-19 hit, the West Virginia State Park system began offering a 30% discount to WV residents for state parks. The idea was "staycation" at home instead of Myrtle Beach, SC or Florida Beaches. So we cancelled our Florida vacation to staycation at home! BEST decision this year! What a wonderful time!!! read more

Very Nice State Park. This review is based on the Park only. There's lots of parking available. Great Park to get your exercise in. The waterfall was so beautiful. This would be the perfect park for a family reunion. They offer all sort of activities. Horseback riding. Paddle boarding. Kayaking and paddle boating. I love the water but I'm not a swimmer. I did let my son and husband talk me into getting on the paddle boat. They also volunteered to do all the paddling in that case I couldn't resist. It definitely was a total foot workout. So l would suggest wearing comfortable shoes and bring the sunscreen. It was a very hot day but l'm so glad we went out there. I would definitely return to this park again while in the Berkley Springs area. read more

The lodge is nice, but it doesn't have hot water at 8, 9, or 10 o'clock in the morning. I gave up on showering after several attempts.

Food was delicious for dinner and breakfast. Room in old section had been updated, but could use some lighting over the desk area. View from overlook was awesome. read more

Had "food" at the lodge, it was the buffet for 3 guests. The eggs were swimming in grease of unknown origin and cold, the hash browns were not browned at all and were stone cold, as well as the pancakes stone cold and rubbery. The sausage was burnt on the outside and saturated in grease from what appears to be deep fried for some lazy reason. Bacon was also cold. There was no shortage of ketchup to douse this terrible garbage food with, about a gallon of it in a bowl sat near the eggs. The biscuit was way flat and way overcooked. $45 and a $15 tip for clearing away plates. Fool me once, never going back read more

Very nice state park. Have only driven though a couple of times but appears to have an abundance of trails, mountain biking, summer beach, and riding stables. Also has a nice looking lodge. Haven't used amenities so far but entering the park is free!! read more

Best wings anywhere and we are wing scouts- heh. The prime rib sandwich wasn't my favorite. Thought it was a dip that it wasn't but boy the fries were nice. The Rueben sandwich had nice ingredients but the meat was a bit tough. Our service was fabulous and nice dining room. read more

We enjoyed a beautiful day relaxing on the beach by the lake. Lifeguards were on the premises, concession stand with some basic food and drink and beautiful views. There are lots of uneven steps to get to and from the parking area, so if you are carrying lots of pool toys or have someone with you with mobility issues, be aware that this may pose an issue. We took a little ride around the park and looks like cute little cabins tucked away in the woods and a rustic and historic inn that looks so sweet. Can't wait to go back and stay on the resort. Beautiful place to go for the day to hike, sit by the lake, rent kayaks, canoes, paddle boards or paddle boats, fish or just relax and listen to the birds. read more

I really do not want to review because you'll NEVER LEAVE!

They have 24/7 Park Rangers which answer all questions and assist with anything. Berkeley Spring WV isn't too far away for shopping, fine dining. So you been warned of the beauty and hospitality! read more

We stayed in an Airbnb cabin across from the park and didn't realize our luck being so close to this park! On our first day, we drove up to the overlook and enjoyed the view. On our second day, we booked a horseback riding tour for the 5 of us. Our youngest never rode before so he was closest to our guide and was confident the entire time. Each horse was so gentle and we always felt safe. Everyone agreed this was a highlight and would recommend this activity to anyone! Best surprise is that it was 91 degrees, but we never felt hot because the trail was in the woods throughout our ride. Don't miss out on this activity. read more

Wow, prices have over doubled and the quality of food has declined. I guess they raised prices to pay for renovations/new construction. I got the lasagna, which was way over-cooked. It was dry and tasted bland. The lasagna used to be really good, but not now. Definitely not worth the money. They also charge .50 cents more for sweet tea over unsweet. I will not be going back. The only bright side was our server. She was very friendly and attentive. read more

Stayed in a cabin in the winter during covid. It was an awesome getaway. Spacious and lovely cabins with comfortable beds and couches.

We stayed two nights in one of the CCC cabins & ate breakfast in their lodge. I enjoyed the old cabin but I suspect that's because we spent most of our time outdoors. We were in cabin #10 which is slightly more secluded than the other CCC's which are in a loop nearby. There were a few more critters inside the cabin than I'd prefer; bugs and a cute little mouse which my daughter's named and declared the cabin pet. The critters didn't bother us really, but if this sort of thing bothers you maybe consider one of the more updated cabins. I'd imagine staying in this place in the fall would be fantastic with a fire roaring in the fireplace. As for the lodge, they're in the midst of a big renovation which will likely improve things quite a bit. The lodge is a newer building anyway (1950s?) so it lacks the charm of some other lodges I've been in which were built by the CCC. The food at breakfast was good. Typical breakfast stuff. Super friendly waitress. Nice place. read more
