Wonderland Forest Introduce

Welcome to Wonderland Forest, located at 4812 S Cook Rd, Lafayette, NY 13084. You can contact them at (315) 299-8886 or +1 315-299-8886. Wonderland Forest operates as both a campground and an event venue, offering camping options and hosting festivals.

Based on customer reviews, camping experiences at Wonderland Forest vary significantly. One reviewer described paying for a campsite that turned out to be a grassy parking lot, lacking basic amenities like fire rings and picnic tables. They noted that traditional campsites were reserved for festival attendees, leading to a feeling of being overcharged for a subpar experience. The reviewer also mentioned that the staff, while friendly, appeared disorganized.

Additionally, there are concerns regarding the venue's management and payment practices. A service provider reported difficulties in receiving payment for services rendered, despite offering a discount. This highlights potential issues with financial accountability and communication.

While Wonderland Forest may offer beautiful campsites and host engaging festivals, potential campers should be aware of the reported inconsistencies in camping experiences and potential management issues. It is recommended to clarify camping arrangements and payment policies before booking.

If you are considering camping at Wonderland Forest, especially during non-festival weekends, it is advised to inquire about the specific campsite amenities and confirm all booking details. For event organizers or service providers, it is advisable to discuss payment terms and expectations thoroughly.

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. 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.)

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. 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.

The music was great. The venue could use some management, portajohns covered in human waste dried on from last weekend. The tank has been emptied but the seat, floors and walls were disgusting. Folks were going behind rather than inside because of the filth. Expensive tickets, expensive parking and outrageous camping fees and add ons. most of the venue is not open to the public. The nature walk we heard about is not accessible. And just one food vendor with just one menu item. It's a bummer to finally have a venue with potential in the area, and see it mis managed to the point where attendees are talking about the mess at the show. Hopefully they can do better or it probably won't last long.
