Wonderland Forest seems to serve well as a convenient stop for concert-goers, with its proximity to Beak and Skiff mentioned positively in several reviews. However, many campers found the $70 nightly fee steep for what they describe as basic amenities. Several reviews noted the lack of picnic tables, fire rings, and shade, with one reviewer specifically mentioning the campsite was essentially a festival parking lot. Despite these drawbacks, others appreciated the beautiful scenery, friendly hosts, and ample hiking trails.

Not your choice for camping

Tent

I can't speak for what a festival might be like at this camp, I only stayed there to attend a concert at Beak and Skiff. With that said, this is not your place to camp in the region for any other reason but one of their own festivals, maybe. First, it's expensive at $70 per night. Second, it's a bad value. For that cost you are placed on the edge of a large grass field, their festival parking lot. There is no access up a water pump without driving, no picnic table, no fire ring, and no shade. The location is convenient to beak and skiff and the general region, but they need open up their "premium sites" to regular weekend campers at the $70 a night price they seek. Bottom line: I would absolutely not stay again. I would spend my money on a hotel and save the camping for a different outing.

Good for events. Not for solitude

Tent

If you are looking for solitude and a scenic spot in the woods, this ain’t it. It’s more set up for events, either the ones at Beak and Skiff or their own. It’s basically a field surrounded by woods and they keep the ones along the woods for tent campers. We had tent neighbors who partied loud and hard until 3.

We will be back!

Tent

We loved camping at Wonderland Forest. Super easy getting in. Andrew met us upon arrival and took us to our campsite, where we were really able to choose our favorite spot. There was plenty of nice flat ground, and wonderful tree line spots. We were going to a show at Beak & Skiff, so this spot being only 8 mins away, was a huge plus. We hope to come up for one of the concerts at Wonderland forest!

The overall experience was nice. We didn’t expect it to be an open field- we were thinking more of a campsite. We still had a great set up. Happy it was not crowded. We were not provided a fire ring which was a bummer. We had asked Andrew to bring one. Thankful my husband is prepared and we still had a fire in a pot:). Beautiful, green open space. Clean port a potty’s , great communication prior to checking in. Perfect for seeing a show at beak n skiff and staying over after.
