I love the ambience at base camp. They have live music and dj played music in the evening which is a lot of fun. Our Airbnb was close to the base camp so we could hear hits being played which was fun too. We went here for food after doing the scenic chair lift ride and a hike. The service was very friendly but the food was mid tier. We got the buttermilk chicken sandwich and the beef tacos to share. The chicken sandwich came with fries and was great. The beef tacos were not good. They tasted like they were made with the El Paso seasoning packet which is very basic and not flavorful. The tacos also came with cilantro lime rice which had zero flavor so we won't be reordering this if we return. You kind of have to rely on this place if you go during the day since they are the only ones open nearby until 4 pm when all the other restaurants open read more

This restaurant is conveniently close to the ski lifts. From what I saw, there were 2 areas to eat: one that you can see the people skiing that is round shaped and a few steps away an area where you can also eat from their menu with less windows and some sofas and tables. It is pretty casual and you can have a meal or just enjoy a drink or two. My party ordered the Trash Can Nachos. That was a cool way to get your meal. It comes inside a family size can and they tip it onto your plate and take the can away. It was good. It had plenty of chips. Be sure to mix the cheese well. It was the biggest plate from all the things we ordered. Someone ordered the Beltway 1/2 Smoke with fries. The fries were not seasoned kinda bland. Sausage was good. Someone ordered the Bulgogi Tacos with crispy chicken. They said it was delicious except for the cilantro lime rice. There was no cilantro nor lime taste. She was disappointed the rice had no flavor. The star of today's visit was the Cowboy Slopeside Brisket Sandwich. The brisket and Cole slaw were both amazing. This is coming from a picky eater. He was impressed. Our server was very nice and took good care of us. We were only there to eat, not go on the ice. I recommend this place for a quick bite. read more

The food was good. The place is really cool. The service could have been better. We ordered drinks and our beer set on the bar with the ticket for our table for about 10 minutes before our server brought it to us. When I was able to locate our server, she was hitting her vape and taking pictures of herself with her phone. read more

Food is great and esp the new light up swings they have now for both kids and adults to enjoy only downfall is mostly seems like adults wanting to be on them and kids having to wait their turn they need to have 2 sep sections one for adults one for children's so kids can have their own section Ik with as much money as Massenutten is racking in they should t have a problem doing so!! They're a lil pricey so be prepared esp the cocktail drinks nearly $15 dollars a pop for a dinner for four ppl nearly $300 that includes tip so yea pricey! The buffet they have during the week isn't what it's all cracked up to be I went and flies were flying over the uncovered produce toppings for the burgers and hotdogs so basically don't waste your time on the buffet deal at least I didn't think so it seems like they have free events but yet they lure you in to buy stuff if you know what I'm saying bc ice cream stand beside the kids toys of course kids gonna want ice cream but all and all if looking for nice outing for the fam while on vacation for the weekend I would def check it out forsure! Def can get a lot of family pics while there and make plenty of memories and that's what it's all about the lighting they have there is so cool at night time the view is priceless. Now on days they have activities plan on being there waiting on service a while and if lil one is hungry and tired you may just have to order and go like I had too! read more

STAY AWAY!!!!! The wait staff sitting at another table staring should have been clue. Slow and poor service to start. Long wait for simple burgers. None of the burgers ordered (6 people) were cooked to order properly. The side of rice and black beans were horrible...ice cold white rice with a very few black beans mixed in. The burger patty was obviously a frozen one and cooked well done (ordered medium rare). Very greasy and slightly cold. I had bacon and cheese added. The bacon looked like it was artificial and the cheese so thin you could see through it. My friends said that their potatoes were cold and greasy. This is the second time we have eaten here and the first time was bad as well. I guess that we should have learned our lesson the first time. One star is generous... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY...MCDONALDS WOULD BE BETTER, AND A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER!! read more

If I could rate it zero stars, I would. Our extended family of 9 came here this evening and were VERY disappointed in this restaurant. Not only was the food BAD, (chewy brisket, completely dry shredded cabbage instead of 'Asian broccoli slaw" as the menu said, crusty cold beer cheese for the pretzel, etc) but it took an over an hour and a half to get our food, and the server&manager were terrible. We ordered drinks, they came out in normal timing and ordered a pretzel first, a few burgers and chicken sandwich, and brisket sandwich & platters. Then we waited...watched the other tables who came in later get food....we were never offered drink refills or an explanation. My brother flagged down the server after probably 45 minutes to order another drink and she never asked anyone else at the table if they wanted drinks when every glass was completely empty as we sat in the hot sun. The food finally came, we were appreciative because all were hungry and the two kids were falling apart. We politely asked for a plate and the pretzel and water pitcher at this point, the crusty old pretzel came out, I NEVER got the PLATE. I ate my part of the burger off a napkin. The server seemed to be avoiding us. The dry slaw nonsense was replaced with fries by a manager who was not understanding how terrible it was, and NO OTHER APPOLOGY or discount was taken off. We paid $270+ for very poor food, bad mixed drinks, and poor service. read more

Check in and customer service is atrociously slow. Understaffed. 1 person on duty at prime check in time. Everyone pissed in line. Their response. "We don't have more staff people." Hours wasted, no refund of accommodation for massive time wasted for dozens of people. MONEY SUCK read more

We had lunch and dinner at base camp, mainly because it was only restaurant open. Seating is outdoor and umbrellas over table do not block sun At lunch We seated ourselves because no one was around. I had to go into the bar to get menus. Our server finally showed up and took our drink order. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi bowl. The food was not hot, but luke-warm at best. It did taste good, but would have been better hot. Our server was very helpful and did a good job. For the evening meal, they had a buffet. All, but the mac & cheese was not hot. The meat was very dry, as well as the cornbread. They did not have much on the buffet; pulled pork, bbq chicken, collard greens, mac-n-cheese, cornbread, pepper slaw and some kind of odd salad. It is definitely no where worth $20. Our server was ok. read more

The drinks at the basecamp are spot on and really better than would be expected at a resort in the Shenandoah area. Food was well prepared It did not excite but met all requirements. The service was excellent. I think the young lady, Caitlyn, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. The atmosphere, good lord it can't be beat. The live music, kids games yurt bar and giant swings ensure that everyone has a great time. read more

We were hoping to like this place. It was our first time, although we've been owners at Massanutten for almost 5 years. We've always explored the surrounding area eats but this week we didn't want to leave the resort. We were excited to order what we did - deep dish pizza, calamari, the nachos and the summer salad (not pictured). As you can see in the pic, this was no deep dish pizza. In fact, it was a thin crust pizza! Brought that up with our server, who never showed us he was interested in being there until he gave us our check and it was time to sign on the dotted line. All he said was, we're not the first to ask about it. We then said, maybe he can share with management, and he said "oh they know". ‍ Uhhh ok, well time to change that menu! Trash can nachos had big chunks of poorly seasoned ground beef. It looked appetizing but it was bland and the melted cheese were stuck in the can and hardly any were on the chips. The fried calamari was the only thing we enjoyed. It was well seasoned, but as you can see in the pic, there's like 9 pieces Lastly, the summer salad was a Waldorf salad dupe. It was not a good mix. Why was there grilled onions with the raspberries? Yikes. Lesson learned. We won't return to this place. We tried the other resto the following evening (Campfire Grill) and enjoyed that one by a huge leap. read more

While staying at Massanutten resorts, we decided to pickup some food for our toddler. I can't begin to explain how disappointed I was with the food we got from Base Camp. How can anyone mess up grilled cheese and fries is beyond me. The food was tasteless. I would definitely not come back here, but the place was full, so I am hoping the rest of the food they serve might be good. In spite of the food disaster, I would recommend this place for its entertainment and vibe. They had live musicians who really kept the crowd engaged, and many people were dancing on the dance floor, including my little one. They also have large size Jenga and Connect 4, which keeps kids entertained while waiting on the food. read more

Bar Great staff, great fun, decent food and music. Did have to go to the bar for things . No attention on the deck.

Food is not only ridiculously expensive it is awful. Cheeseburger was burned. Bulgogi bowl had absolutely zero flavor. Pizza was soggy. Cost is $89 for two slices of pizza, a burger, two fries and 3 drinks!! Do not waste your time or money. read more

Was there table service here? No one knows. Saw some tables with cheques so we sat down. No server ever came or was seen anywhere. Ended up getting an ice-filled terrible overpriced lemonade from the bar, gross ramen with chicken that was literally gray and tasted like nothing from downstairs and two burgers and fries from the cafeteria. The ramen situation was really foul. They charge $1.50 for an overcooked hardboiled egg. Broth lacked salt. There was maybe one bamboo shoot shred with clumpy ramen for $16. The chicken came out of a plastic pouch and was a terrifying color that made me fear for my health. Major ick. read more

We normally love basecamp but we came today for the first time in the snow season and were very disappointed with the basecamp burger which I would call "cafeteria burger". The cheese wasn't even melted, literally cold. Base camp quality was excellent until this year. For the price this should be better. Chili is still good and so are the nachos. I'm a local and have been here often. read more

The good: lovely location on the side of the mountain, plus a friendly efficient server. The bad: I ordered pink lemonade which was very watery. Four out of the six of us ordered burgers cooked medium. Every single one was burned and well done. Skip this place. read more

Such a cute place to find! Located on the massanutten resort, this spot stood out at the top with it's heated tents and full bar! We stopped in here for a bite and was glad to be in the warmth while we got fun cocktails and snacks.

We came here for dinner with another family, and honestly, it wasn't great. I'm not sure if they were short-staffed or just not well trained, but the food came out at all different times -- most of it was missing sides or just wrong -- and the service was really spotty. Our waitress didn't seem too concerned about anything, including the fact that drinks and food were super delayed. We asked to speak to the manager, and after a bit of a wait, someone finally got him. To his credit, he did try to make things right and got the rest of the food out. Still, this was our first time eating here and it'll definitely be our last read more

I'm sad to say that it has gone way down in quality and service since I have been coming every year. What a let down this summer. Of course, Jimmy O was still amazing and the only reason I will try again next year! I say stick to appetizers and beer and wine. Meals are way over priced and the cocktails are too. My grilled veggie flatbread was the size of my hand with minced zucchini and onion chunks on cauliflower mush for $12.50! How is that a meal? Our server was very inexperienced and knew nothing about the menu. read more

There is very little positive to say about this restaurant. The staff is rude and the food is awful. We ended up here due to proximity; we needed to eat while staying at the resort. The burgers were inedible, the steak was all fat, and the pizza was disgusting. The only saving Grace of the meal was the pretzel. I'd recommend trying any other restaurant if possible, but if not, I guess order a water and the pretzel? read more

Didn't have a good experience. The wait was very long and they didn't take reservations. Later and larger parties were seated after we walked up. Lot of high top seating compounded the problem. Food was served buffet style. The barbecue was done on barrel pit with flames a blazing. The chicken was therefore charred on the outside and pink/bloody on the inside. The hamburgers we cooked and the hot dogs also. The cole slaw was good. The macaroni was very bland. Overall the food was not very flavorful at all. The deck is nice but the music was very loud. Seems like more of going through the motion of we do this regularly. Save your $15/person and eat elsewhere. read more

Melvin was our waiter. He did fantastic. We had a large group and he was able to get everyone's order correct. All I can say is my food (barnconnector) was so good! My daughter got the sirloin which she likes and my other daughter got the kids pizza. My husband got the trout which was good too. The bartender was bishop and he poured tap beer the right way (believe it or not most don't) and the old fashion was very good. Thanks guys for a good let meal here! read more

We've been here several times since moving to Massanutten Resort. We have always found the found to be very good and likewise the cocktails. The service can be spotty. When we once sat outdoors our server was excellent and attentive. On another night the weather didn't cooperate for outdoor dining and music, so they moved the event inside. That night the food was ok, not great, and the service was lackluster, but the staff that night seemed young and new to the restaurant. We'll be back, especially for outdoor seating on the deck where the vibe is very relaxed. read more

The service from our waiter was fair at best. . Not very attentive and brought me a different sandwich than what I ordered. A pleasant girl, who was not even waiting on us, asked how everything was. Had to remind person, again not our waiter, that when sandwiches came out that we still hadn't received our appetizer. (Calamari which was okay)The sandwich hubby got was good. Mine again not realizing they gave me a pork belly instead of pulled pork, was not as good as what it likely would've been if I got the correct sandwich, was still good just too fatty. Atmosphere was fine. Food a 3.5, service 2.5, ambiance 3. read more

Love the outdoor space. Making the best of Covid conditions. There is nothing else good to share except our waiter was super polite. Actually, all the staff are really nice. They boost this place a star, as they are great. But Poor food, poor service. (The Monday bbq buffet looked good but we didn't want burgers, dogs & chicken. We dined in with menu options) This is not our 1st time here. 4th time vacationing here. Always give Base Camp a shot. Had good experience 2 winters ago. Went in with the understanding under new corona regulations service would be slower. But 1.5 hours to get 5 uncomplicated meals is way too long. First, if you are coming here make a reservation or you likely will have to wait a long while. We had reservation, and hostess said oh yeah I just saw yours now, it will be a little bit. It was fine, we got table fairly quickly. They removed the best appetizer from the summer menu, the jelly jar bacon. It's all I was looking forward to. Bavarian pretzel is good app choice. Asked for a cheese sauce to go with it. It tasted good but water like consistency. We had waited so long to get it, didn't want to complain. Drinks came quickly except my beer. That took a half hour, and the bar wasn't crowded at all. Dinners took 1.5 hours to get to us. They were ok. NY Strip at "market price" was poor, flimsy cut. I ordered smoked turkey leg appetizer. Looked and smelled delicious! Needed a steak knife to cut it. Like they microwaved it. Skin was so tough, some was inedible. My daughter got steakhouse salad, barely had any of the toppings it boasted. Barely bacon, had to ask for avocado as she got one tiny piece. My husband ate all his wings. They were good, not great. Pasta dish was the best of what we had, it was decent. By the time the waiter asked if we wanted dessert we just wanted to get out of there. Overall, not a good experience. Really enjoyed the view. Will definitely be back for drinks and music on Friday or Saturday night. Totally a let down for a meal. I will say the Monday all u can BBQ buffet was a great value $15. But I can get burgers and salads at any bbq at home. it wasn't what we were looking for. Unfortunately this experience only solidified my policy of "steer clear of food places on Massanutten campus". This theory is based on 4x travel here in 7 years. Lots of great eateries a short drive away. We always want to support here, but disappointed again. read more

Don't bother. I ordered the bratwurst sandwich and they really messed it up. I was served a sausage in a dry stale sourdough roll with cold sauerkraut and onions on it! Disgusting! Service was horrible and they could care less. The cook seemed to be even worse. Go outside of the resort to get your food or cook in your timeshare. read more

This is a great place to grab drinks and snacks during a ski/winter sports session. I'm sure it gets super-busy and service can be spotty but our experience was great on a Sunday night. Fun crafted cocktails and shooters, kind bartender & waitstaff. Their Base Camp sandwich was everything I ever wanted apres-ski. I'll go back to Massanutten just for that sandwich! Just bear in mind it's a ski slope bar where the food comes from a distant kitchen, pack your patience and enjoy the experience. read more

My husband and I stayed at Massanutten for a week and ended up at Base Camp several times. They are closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sunday nights they have a great guy that performs live music starting at 7p. Get there early as there was a wait when we left at 8p. Monday from 5p-7p is all you can eat BBQ, which includes chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, red sauce pasta salad, cole slaw, potato chips and your choice of tea or lemonade for $15. Wednesday is Wine Down Wednesdays starting at 6p which includes $3.50 glasses of wine or a flight of 4 one ounce pours for $6. We loved sitting outside, but when it was raining the umbrella bar was fabulous. Good food and service here at Base Camp! read more

Very strong Irish coffee, delicious fries along with sandwiches and burgers. The dessert was really good too.

This restaurant is on Massanutten Resort. It's a fun and casual place with outdoor dining and live music on the weekends. The food is ok. We have been coming here for over 15 years and service In all of the resort restaurants was always good. When you are staying on the mountain, it's one of the few options to pick from. The main goal is to be relaxed and not in a hurry. The recent bad reviews regarding service and seating is due to the pandemic. They are suffering like all other restaurants. I am sitting here watching the limited staff run their butts off. To give a bad review for service during this time is ignorant. Please remember to graciously tip your servers, who are the few people showing up to work. read more

We came here at least 3 times since we were at the resort. Service was pretty good no matter what time of day! I love how even In the winter this restaurant stays nice and toasty. This little spot is located right at the base of the the ski slopes and is super close to the hotels. Favorite menu item: Prime rib sandwich. This is hands down the best thing on the menu. The steak is soooo juicy and onion strings set any sandwich off for me! Least favorite menu item: Steak pasta. This was a Cajun dusted sirloin tossed in creamy Gouda sauce. Sounds amazing right? Eh, not really. Sirloin was cut into 4 pieces with no hint of Cajun at all and the pasta just tasted like a white Mac and cheese. All in all, above average restaurant. read more

Outdoor seating in the summer is very scenic and nice. Worth noting that there is an outdoor concert next to the restaurant once each month and they charge you a $15 cover charge to get into the restaurant, even if you are just there for dinner and have no interest in the music. We didn't even know about the concert and were not going to pay $45 extra just to eat dinner so we left and came back another night. read more
