Stay here for two nights to attend a few shows at nearby beak and skiff. It was a big disappointment. Essentially you pay $70 per night to sleep in their lush grass parking lot. In no way did it resemble camping: no fire ring, no picnic table, no nothing. The camp has camp sites to be sure, and their beautiful, but they only allow their use for onsite festivals.

Essentially you pay $70 per night to sleep in their lush grass parking lot. In no way did it resemble camping: no fire ring, no picnic table, no nothing. The camp has camp sites to be sure, and their beautiful, but they only allow their use for onsite festivals. To be honest, it felt a lot like a tourist trap, highway robbery scenario. The staff was nice, though disorganized. I do not think they really know what they are doing and they are certainly out of line for their treatment of campers on non-festival weekend. I would not return, and I would not camp their for a festival without first visiting the camp during a festival just to see how it functions. (photo shows you their "camp site." there instructions were simply park and camp anywhere on the edge of our parking lot.)

We were mildly concerned having seen some other recent reviews but I have to say our family had an amazing time at a gorgeous and fresh venue. Seemed that everyone involved with the operation was smiling and genuinely friendly, Security as it were was non invasive and the awesome people working made navigating a new venue especially one this size a breeze.

Seemed that everyone involved with the operation was smiling and genuinely friendly, Security as it were was non invasive and the awesome people working made navigating a new venue especially one this size a breeze. Beer prices seemed on par for most other venues we’ve been to nationwide and the food prices appeared to be quite reasonable even though we didn’t eat. We have a saying “it’s a vibe” and let me tell you Wonderland Forest is THE Vibe. Can’t wait to come back, hopefully for many years to come!

Tried to go for Dark Hollow. I am handicapped and need wheelchair access. Don't bother to go if you're disabled. There are no ADA and they absolutely do not care about it. The parking lot where they tried to park me in was way to far away for me and my wheelchair. They offered no help at all. They actually made it more difficult by just watching my struggle.

There are no ADA and they absolutely do not care about it. The parking lot where they tried to park me in was way to far away for me and my wheelchair. They offered no help at all. They actually made it more difficult by just watching my struggle. They literally stood there and watched. Offering no help. No shuttle services. Nothing. The price online was $20, but when you get there they want more and say they have "online fees" and wanted to charge me $33 instead. That is over 50% more and I didn't purchase online. When I refused I was offered a price of $25 instead. Shady stuff going on there! Show times were listed online, but those weren't actually the times either. My husband and I seemed to be the only patrons there at 5. Showtime. Long story short horrible ADA and being asked for more than it said online and us seeming to be the only folks there. We left.
