American Wilderness Campground Reviews
Leah MacDonald(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2015 Gorgeous space, and perfect if you're looking for something that fits a rustic themed wedding. We had 9 tables, a head table, buffet tables, and a DJ table; however we still had PLENTY of room left for a dance floor, without having to clear any tables away. Everything was set up perfectly when we came in, so there was very little left to do to have our reception ready to go. Couldn't ask for a better venue, and the price was more than reasonable! Would use this venue again in a heartbeat! Now we're talking about getting a seasonal campsite there. Reviewed on 30-08-2015
J C(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-08-2021 WORST PLACE! DO NOT BOOK! Allison, will not abide by the contract. We had to reschedule due to COVID regulations. Per the contract it stated that the deposit is to be transferred to a new date, but that is NOT the case. Allison made us pay another deposit for the new date and would not refund back the money we already put down even though the contract clearly states the deposit is transferable to another date with no extra charge. We showed her the contract and the 2 payments made and she refused to give back a refund even though we paid double when we did not have too. She is very unwilling to work with you. Also, per the other comments there are many hidden fees and extra charges as stated that you are not aware of. There is a charge to use the kitchen, bartender fees, ceremony fee, etc. Worst experience ever. Reviewed on 16-12-2021
knottie2d9f5951f37ac468 (wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2018 seriously the best place for a very affordable rustic wedding. Highly recommend. I can't believe it's at a campground, its gorgeous. Reviewed on 12-05-2017
Corinne Blackstone(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2017 while the venue is lovely and Allison is super nice. They will tell you its just $1399 to rent to venue on a Saturday however then they will throw in the $150 for the outdoor ceremony, the $125 + for the bartender, $35 parking attendant, $100 clean up fee and other odds and ends. I am aware many venues do this but a parking attendant!? seriously? there is plenty of parking it is well labeled and right by the venue! They also want to make your guest wear a wristband if they want to use the game room and they have to pay a fee for that as well. Very glad we visited and we will not be booking with them. Hope this saves brides on a tight budget some time. Reviewed on 07-11-2016
Ashley Shuey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2016 The venue is a beautiful place to have a rustic wedding . The hall is a blank space where you can create your own touches and atmosphere. The grounds are kept very clean and the staff was very helpful. Reviewed on 29-09-2016
Nicole Von Enck(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2014 American Wilderness Campground was a beautiful place to have my wedding and you cannot beat the price! The inside of the hall is beautiful paneled pine. The event coordinator was so helpful and all the staff were very nice. The only downside is that it is a campground. There are tacky flags in the entrance and the doesn't look very pretty on the outside. During my ceremony, random campers stopped and watched and were in some of our wedding video and pictures. However, overall I give it 5 stars because of the helpful service, cleanliness, the beauty of inside the hall, and the how inexpensive it was. Reviewed on 14-07-2014
Rachel Bartlett(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2012 Great atmosphere and nature surrounding, made for great photos and fit my husband and I perfectly. We had our ceremony outside on \"the hill\" that has a bunch or birch trees and pine trees. You dont have to have a cop, but you have to use their bartenders, and they were knowingly pouring heavy which ruined our themed drinks, but the guests were happy, so I guess it wasnt that bad. I was asked if a RV could be next to the venue, I thought it was \"winterized\" right there, but it was partying just as loud as we were, and it was VERY in the way for 2 of my vendors, then it was gone Sunday morning - Im salty about that, but what can you do after the fact. \rIt is quite a drive out there, but SO beautiful! I would pick this location again if i had a redo. Reviewed on 05-11-2012
