We stayed for two days in a Redbud cabin, and we quite enjoyed it! Mostly quiet, very kid-friendly, and polite and helpful staff (major props to Security and Maintenance in particular). I'd love to come here again!

The electrical system for the rv sites are in a much needed upgrade. There are no street lights on the main rd ways. We pay a lot of dues and the only concern the company has is upkeep of the cottages, log homes and recreation areas. There’s only a 30 amp hook up. It’s time for an upgrade.

We stayed in a 6-person cabin with hot tub. It was like a tiny log cabin--very comfortable with kitchen, medium fridge, two small bedrooms and sleeper sofa, AC. Very clean! Very quiet at night with view of the lake. Most of the cabins are right on the lake with a picnic table and fire pit. The large outdoor pool just up the hill from the lake and beach was great. Adirondack chairs at the little beach near kayak, etc rental. The kids really enjoyed it. Midweek rates were reasonable. We would definitely visit again. Many excellent dinning options off-resort a short drive away (Harry's Alehouse was fantastic!). Very restful getaway. Reservation staff were so nice and friendly.

The beach is covered in goose poop. The staff working there is suppose to clean it everyday. This does not happen. I took my family there last week and asked the employee working to please clean up the goose poop. At that point he had already been on the clock for two hours and not even started cleaning it up. He was polite but wasn't really moving efficiently. I asked him to at least clean up the poop where my kids were playing. He did clean up that very small section and then went back into the boat rental cabin. He didn't bother cleaning up the poop from the rest of the beach or sidewalks. We experienced biting flies on the beach that day. That's the first time in the four years of going there we've experienced that. I'm sure the flies are there now because of the goose poop that just sits on the sand day in and day out. It smells so incredibly bad too. I've call and spoke in person to management about this issue. Everyone I've spoken to assures me it will be resolved and it has yet to be. I've also been advised to ask the employee working to clean it up as a solution to the problem. I don't think that's an inappropriate solution. Wilderness Presidential Resort please hold your employees accountable for the job they're paid to do. I will gladly change my review once I've seen change. All of your paying guest/ members deserve to play at the beach. Especially the type of beach you advertise. I brought my kids to the beach the day promotional photos were taken of the beach last year. That was the cleanest I've ever seen the beach. You should be giving paying guest and paying members the same experience you advertise. It seems shady you cleaned it up for photos but not for the day to day guests.

The cabin was so cute and comfortable. We really loved it. We had hoped to utilize some of the amenities but it was so hot the week we were there it was oppressive so we just enjoyed the serenity of being at the end of the campground. We would have loved to have played pickleball in the well maintained outside court we saw. We looked at the gym. While definitely cooler than outside, it would probably get hot quickly if active in there. Some choices for ceramics paining also available. If you are planning a trip.to the fredricksburg area, this is a nice option. We enjoyed the jacuzzi for soaking in and drove to the Shenandoah national park, though it was too hot to hike. The heat index was 106. But you can drive up the whole thing.

Loved our cabin! Areas are spread out but the cabins/RV sites are super close together just a heads up. It was during spring break so still off season- loved amenities, very clean, super nice staff. Things do seem very outdated around the grounds though (putt putt, a few playground equipment, some gym things). Things were kind of confusing to figure out so we had to call about use of certain amenities(like going to the gym for things that would normally be stationed elsewhere) I imagine when it's in season, things are very crowded but it was limited people while we were there which was amazing. We fished, beached, boated, swam indoor(super chilly pool water)... Would love to come back in season but scared of the crowds 😅 thanks for a great trip

Very interesting campground. The roads are named after Confederate Generals. We stayed on Longstreet. Had a very nice spot on the water. There are a lot of sites with signs stating Private Property. I wasn’t sure what that was about so I asked some people that had a sign. Turns out that they actually own that site. We had a full hookup site and everything worked as it should. The bathrooms have tiled walls and were clean. We would stay here again.

Cabins are very nice and the amenities are great . The bath house are very clean and modern to .Most of the campsites are nice sized but a lot of the dirt roads are washed out, the grass needs to be cut on most of the sites. Electrical boxes are old and falling apart. The storage lot is full of beat up old campers that haven't moved in 2 years or more and some probably can't be moved. The website needs to be updated so you know the size of the camper that will fit. Overall I really like this place and I hope they continue to make improvements on what I just stated.

Wilderness Presidential provided a beautiful setting for my wedding guests to stay in the cottages. It has a scenic lake view, with plenty of fun activities for the kids. I highly recommend a stay here, to rejuvenate and enjoy nature, and for a nice stay in a cozy cottage.
