Most of my experience here has been camping at sites during the winter which is a totally different experience and one I recommend. The trails and river/lake in this park are beautiful and well maintained and they offer all levels of mountain biking. Again I usually go in the winter and my group is the only one here and it is just an amazing time to be able to walk the trails and park and take it all in undisturbed by others. If for some reason you are losing interest in nature which is hard to believe they also have some nearby towns with some breweries and other entertainment as well. - Ample parking - Nice, knowledgeable rangers - Range of sites for how much you want to rough it - Amazing trails

It would be nice to see some different vendors though instead of the same lineup year to year. But the ribs were delicious regardless. Food is pricey but comparable to other festivals.

The grounds are meticulously maintained with level, shaded spots that provide great privacy. If you have kids, they will NEVER get bored here. Well-stocked store, clean laundry facility.

Great family-friendly RV campground / resort…read more Our site was beautiful - it backed up against a forest and was close to the pond. It was a bit tight / cramped (my picnic table was virtually on top of the neighbor's sewer line), but the neighbors were friendly and everything was clean and well-kept. The restrooms and showers were spotless. Cute playground - we loved the pirate ship. The pond was a great place to walk our dog, and it seemed like most people (like us) were cleaning up after their pets because we didn't see dog piles everywhere like many other campgrounds in the area. One warning: This place is surrounded by a pond, a lake, and plenty of forest, and has a serious (but understandable) mosquito problem. We tried to sneak in eating 2 slices of pizza quickly upon arrival before putting on bug spray, and my youngest son got 14 bug bites on his legs in less than half an hour. Beware and plan accordingly! I'd highly recommend long sleeves, long pants, and shoes and socks, even if it's hot outside. Biggest qualm: my son was crying for the last 10 minutes of our drive because he was going to pee his pants and this is in the middle of nowhere - we hadn't seen a gas station or anywhere legal for him to go "number 1" since leaving I94. I'll admit I drove 15mph in a 10mph zone on the way in, because the map showed a bathroom next to the pool on the entrance road (before any of the campsites, before any pedestrian areas), and I wanted to avoid a pee-pee incident. After dropping them off, I stuck to the speed limit even when it dropped to 5mph. I was chastised (politely) upon check-in to watch my speed, which is completely reasonable. Separately, someone ran up to my wife and child (neither of whom were driving) as my 5-year-old came out of the bathroom and yelled at them, which is not okay. There are good ways to handle an admonition, and bad ways, and whoever yelled at my wife and son needs to learn a bit of tact. This is the only reason our stay wasn't a 5-star experience. It wasn't an isolated or stranger incident as the yeller was also the person who called the front desk to complain about it and I'm certain was a local / seasonal / permanent resident. There's "enforcing rules" and then there's "yelling at children for something they had no control over," and the management here was much closer to the latter.

Featured events are: an annual Easter Egg Hunt complete with the Easter Bunny, Buccaneer Bash, SteamDream Expo, BlackRock Medieval Fest, Frontier Days, Music Festivals and the ever popular Haunted Hallows! We had the pleasure to attend the 2018 BlackRock Medieval Fest for the first time this summer! On a secluded 35 acres - you begin your adventure by turning onto a long winding drive (seems kind of sketchy at first) that takes you deep in the woods and opens back up to a huge field that is used for parking. As you walk up to the gate at BlackRock Medieval Fest you are greeted with smiles and the "no outside food or drink allowed inside" sign. Once inside you can enjoy live entertainment: live jousting, live action steel combat, 6 stages of entertainment, and live music. You can also enjoy fresh food and cold beverages (Including BEER!) that will quench your thirst and fill your belly. If it's shopping you like - lots of vendors are available with a wide variety of items for purchase from clothing to goblets. So many things to do and see but never enough time! General admission is only $10 at the gate, and children 12 & under are free! Overall: A solid 5 stars - the perfect destination to go and get a glimpse of a time gone bye.

Tucked back in the woods just outside of Augusta, my first impression (3 years ago) upon turning onto the long winding entrance drive , was that this would be the perfect start to a cheesy slasher flick. Directional signs that appeared to be handwritten added to the effect. So to say I had low expectations for the experience would be spot on. Happy to say I was totally wrong! Fast forward to the present. I was excited to return to the Blackrock fest after my previous visit. And I wasn't disappointed. The way that Olde World Village is setup makes the entire Blackrock experience so much better. Everything just flows together and is easily accessible. I love how each show has it's own stage or area so that multiple acts can be simultaneously run without interrupting each other. Gives the visitor more bang for their buck. Plenty of easy parking. Easily accessible porta-johns. It is dirt/gravel parking so don't wear your best shoes. This location is perfect for historical simulations. I believe they also have a pioneer festival, and a pirate fest or steampunk fest at various times also. You should check out at least one of them!
