Wilderness Presidential Resort Reviews

The cabins are nice, my brother in law owns a tie share, which is really overpriced. It is cheaper to pay to go. There isn t much to do in the winter and there weren't many activities planned for New Year's, not even a noon or midnight cider toast. We went to the indoor pool which is stained on the bottom. The kifeguardopened the window while we were in there and it was 28 degrees outside but she was hot so she wouldn't close it. We had my nephew with us. He is 7 and he has down syndrome. We asked if we could let him use a kickboard and she said she didn't feel like getting them out. They are in a closet in the pool area. We aren't going back. It just wasn't pleasant.

This place is nice. We stay in the cabins when we visit our family who lives near. They are roomy & some located on the water, but book them early. They also have an indoor pool & nice camping spots. They also have trailers to rent.

I have a membership out there but now it's open to the public. Wheres the benefit to me? They are making improvements but there are alot of run down campsites that people own but they dont make them take care of.

This was my first time here, I came here with my family and I can honestly say it s been an amazing experience. The WiFi isn t the best but it s definitely tolerable and the amenities are great! The cabins are well taken care of, the customer service is awesome as well and the location is beautiful.

We took our grandchildren to the playground and pool. We had a great time.

Really nice family get away without having to drop amusement park $$.

I stayed at the Resort several times and am going back again in July. I love this place, it's a great place to go and relax.the Staff is friendly and it's a fun spot...you can actually enjoy yourself and don't have to worry about getting called out for your music or actually having fun,as long as you don't get out of hand you can enjoy your evening hanging out with friends...lots to do...fishing rent a boat go out on the lake....paddle boats a nice pool...and a indoor pool and a beach volleyball horse shoes basketball and a gym....wall Mart is close by and they have a country store....we always rent a cabin and stay for a week....check it out ....

This Camp ground lives up to the name Presidential. The staff was professional and courteous. The camp store was well stocked for us forgetful type and the campers so nice. I was blessed to come across a membership for sale and all the above made up my mind to buy in. I can t wait to get a golf cart

23 Years ago my Grandparents purchased a whole lot at this resort in hopes that her family can enjoy it. The family has enjoyed the wilderness so much that my Mother even bought a whole lot. Due to unfortunate events we had to sell my Mother's and now my Grandmother is at a point where she is unable to take care of her property by herself. She has three grandchildren that take care of her and her property and we are not allowed on the resort unless she is present. We are on the deed to the land and one of us are on the title to the trailer. I find that this is a ridiculous rule. PLEASE BE VERY AWARE OF THIS ABSURD RULE IF YOU INTEND TO PURCHASE A WHOLE LOT!! NOT TO MENTION THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED IN THE TIME SHARE PEOPLE THEN THE OWNERS OF THE LAND THAT PAYS DUES EVERY YEAR....REALLY DISGUSTED THAT THEY WOULD TREAT A 77 YEAR OLD WOMEN THIS WAY.

A very nice place to bring your family and friends. Two outdoor swimming pools one indoor swimming pool, multiple playgrounds, indoor basketball Courts, outdoor basketball, volleyball on sand, baseball and football etc.... Large playing field, indoor gym, Rentals-rowboats, and paddle boats, miniature golf and a Adventure course . There is multiple places for fishing , a mini beach, pool tables, eat in food barn and the food is very delicious. Rentals- tents, trailers and huge cabins. General store for your convenience. Atmosphere is very welcoming, you and your family will really enjoy stay there at the Wilderness Resort

My wife and I had an awesome weekend and we like it so much we're discussing about a membership with them definitely going back

Very upset that though my maintenance fees are paid on time yearly that they still have not repaired the concrete around the frog slide, the grass has not been cut unable to go fishing on the backside of the lake or even if people wanted to play frisbee golf. This is 2 weeks in a row

Always relaxing. Only problem was a couple across from us
partied till 3 in the morning. Alot of drinking and music loud enough to keep everybody awake. No consideration for others. Reported it but nothing done.

A bit far off the beaten path so to speak, but blessed free of the noise of the world as a result. The staff were extremely friendly, informative, and helpful. The cabins were modest looking, but the inside was perfectly appointed, included a full kitchen, and had separate upstairs master bedroom, with downstairs secondary bedroom. The putt putt golf was basic but cheap and made for a great quick activity for the kids. The resort has a private pool, and larger community pool that is open to outsiders and campground residents. The lifeguards were polite and professional. Had trouble getting cell service by the cabins, but wifi is everywhere. This would be a great choice for history buffs who want to be in the thick of civil war historical locations. Potential guests who get car sickness, might want to take medication when traveling here, as the surrounding countryside and roads are quite hilly with sharp turns.

One of the best places to be all year round. Highly recommend.

Need to add some more activities,and they need to do golf cart rentals for people coming there that don't have em!

Great Resort! Close to many cool things including Fredericksburg and Civil War sites. Would definitely go again!

A wonderful get away with our family. The cabins are spacious and cosy while the trailers are accommodating for small families. There are activities as well as many playgrounds and a indoor pool, there are outdoor ones too but out of season, to keep you entertained on the grounds alone. Also, the close proximity to Fredericksburg and it's many options to food, entertainment, and shopping that makes a trip to Wilderness even more entertaining.

Great place to spend your summer evenings and weekends. My family loves spending time here.

Typical time share scam. Trashy with olsmd outdated RVs littering the place.

This is terrific vacation place. Lots of things to do. Friendly staff. Carona Virus precautions.

The Adventure Course was lots of fun and the staff was very nice and helpful! Will definitely go again in the near future!

We just checked in Place is clean great customer service had a few questions and did not know how to work the heat Taken care of pronto was able to check in early will definitely stay here again and will update review when we checkout Had a great time here snowed on Christmas Day will stay at this place again on top of the great service friendly staff it is employee owned and I will always support employee owned businesses

And idyllic spot nestled in the woodlands of Virginia with lots to do and explore both on the grounds and in the surrounding areas. Great cabins.

Cozy cabins on the edge of the biggest RV park I've ever seen.

Have been a lot owner since 1972. Remodeled bathrooms,
n ice. The roads need a lot of work. The

Nicely kept. Plenty of activities for children! Great, friendly staff.

Excellent place overlooking the lake, and zip line excellent

I love this place. I normally take a tent but still have fun with many things to do. Clean bathroom and showers. I would say to anyone whole wants to camp in VA. Go there!

Great place to play a round of putt-putt, or if you feel adventurous, try the zip line course.

I love this campground. Quiet& family friendly. There are no drunk teenagers running around on four wheelers. Although you will get an occasionally friendly tipsy hello from the a leasirley golf cart .It has two lakes for kayaking canoeing or paddle boating, and of course fishing. (No gas powered motors allowed) Jackson's pond is a great fishing hole where you can catch perch all day long. They also have fitness trails and the newly renovated bathrooms are clean and full of hot water. You can also do extras like the adventure course with an aerial zipline. Putt-Putt golf. Climbing wall etc.. If you visit, there are two civil war battlefield Parks, with the campground situated in between. Both are well menagef, and have beautiful , educational, hiking trails and driving options.

We stayed in the cabins located at the resort. If you are looking for peace and quiet (and no cell service) this is the place for you. Close to numerous historical sites and easy access to D.C. via the VRE in Fredericksburg.

The cabins are functional with cable TV and WiFi. They could use a bit of maintenance (screens with holes). We had a nice quiet week here.

There does seem to be an issue with excessive noise on weekend nights by a couple of the cabins. Other than that we had a nice quiet week here.

Avoid, Like your life depends on it. How they received a 4 star rating is unbelievable. The name is somewhat fitting. Wilderness Presidential Resort. WILDERNESS it is, PRESIDENTIAL it is not. The security don't even come out the shack to address you as you pull up to the site. They don't escort you to your site after hours. The roads to get to the sites are narrow, and filled with debris ,trees in the road and hanging over the roads as though a storm happened and they never cleaned up. Paid for a site with water and electricity; got a small unkempt sight with electric and no water. On different sites it states that they offer internet, but not in the areas for RVing. You are better off staying in a Walmart parking lot. The worst campsite I have ever stayed in, never again. Cheaper is definitely not the best way staying here.

Love it! Every year my family goes here, for 20 plus years!

I booked one of the lake side cottages with a hot tub a month in advance. Apparently they were having complications with the unit so they upgraded us to one of the larger cabins (no hot tub, just a jacuzzi tub that my 6'3 husband doesn't fit in) which was very nice. However, we had NO knowledge of this until we ARRIVED. We got there after normal business hours so it was only security there and they were very nice and told me that they unfortunately don't have any detailed info as to why we were in a cabin, instead of a cottage, and to call the office in the morning. When I called in the morning the woman I spoke to was very passive aggressive and kept cutting me off. I worked retail for 5 years and I know people can be a nightmare so I make a point to NOT be one of those people so the rudeness was unwarranted. I was very happy with the cabin they upgraded us to I just was not happy that no one told us about the complications before our arrival and that they were rude when I tried to find out what happened. I would be willing to go again

It just feels like home. Some of the sites l could use some upkeep and the tent sites are not in the best condition but stay near the water and enjoy a safe, family friendly community that is super welcoming.

A excellent location to experience the camping culture.

I had a great time! It's a small course by my friends and I had a blast

Many, many people live here in their old trailers for a resort. There is plenty of shade and trees in the camping/trailer areas otherwise it's just a big open area with no trees for shade elsewhere from the sun and it gets really hot.

Very fun..took the family on the zip line adventure course and kids had a blast..then did the rock wall and was awesome!!

The Wilderness Resort is a place that is very family oriented we're planning I've activities beautiful wildlife staff is always willing to help

Great resort for fishing, relaxing lakeside, and being outdoors enjoying the wildlife and weather. Pools stay over crowded in the summer!! Resort owner must be present to enter pool area Cabins need upgrade. No handicap units available and not enough supplies given for long stays. I will not return to this resort

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When I made the reservation I was told that we had a cabin. When we arrived, we were told that we didn't have a cabin, we reserved what used to be the trailers. Other than that discrepancy, we had a restful stay.

The place is not the same, loud people throughout the middle of the night. loud music, talking.
I use to love there, but not anymore.

Adventure course was a lot of fun, my daughter and her friends enjoyed it as part of a birthday celebration. We did have to wait a bit as then closing for lunch wasn't mentioned anywhere. We enjoyed the rock wall too.

Besides the fact that ropes course randomly closes, everything else is pretty good! Super cheap mini golf and the course is fun, well kept, and challenging!

We loved our 1st visit. So much to do even in the fall.

Absolutely love this place! I've been coming here ever since I was in my mum's tummy and I'm now in my 40's. The reservations department is always super friendly. I've stayed in RV's, Cottages & Cabins and sincerely have had such a great time with cherished memories. Had a little snag with a young fella that provided erroneous information pertaining to Jon boat rentals in recreation but we are human and mistakes can be made. Thankfully I spoke with Lindsay who was super patient with my questions and even went above and beyond a reconfirmed my inquiry/dispute with one of the directors. This to me is super important and really appreciate the detail to customer service. Thank you Wilderness Presidential Staff for always providing the best possible accommodations and service.

These are updated cabins with a loft master suite. Very large greatroom with large dining table. Private, very clean. You like the woods? This is your place. Bring your own hairdryers & shampoos.Small closet with stacked washer & dryer. Large bathrooms. Kitchen is stocked with essentials for 6. Minimalistic private get away to spend time with friends & family. It's winter & covid so we haven t used the outside activities. 15 minutes to all the shops. We will be back in better weather.

I love it here. Very relaxing and beautiful. It's a family place not a party place and I love that.

Nice place however the upstairs did not get a/c. It was like a hotbox up there. Ground floor was ice cold. Other than that we loved it.

Great! Cozy cabin, remote enough, plenty to do, and close to many historic sites.

Great spot for "glamping", camping with all the comforts of home. Lots of activities for kids and family to do.

Lodging was horrible trash all over campsites, old furnishings that needed to be replaced. The amenities of the grounds were fun and employees were nice otherwise rating would have been lower. Possibly the cabins were nicer than vintage RV's but I will not return to chance it.

The cabins in the back are awesome, loaded with many nice amenities. The porch grill was put to good use, and leaving laundry and dish soap was very nice as well. I went during fall, when the leaves were changing color, so that is the only season I can review this for.

They also have lots of boats and other things to use during the warmer months. Will be going back to see what the rest of the year has to offer.

I hated this place.
Worst RV park I've ever visited.
Everything was run down. It sucked.

High speed internet friendly service quiet and relaxing.

The Staff is always very friendly and accommodating. They have tons of activities for kids and families. We love camping here.

Nice place to visit just a little unorganized, didn't report the guest.

Friendly people. Like family. Fun activities to keep everyone entertained
