Rustic lodge that could use some updating of furnishings, but staff were very pleasant and helpful. We go a last minute reservation in a room with a view -- after plans to camp a second night were changed due to heavy rain and humidity. Note the temps were 20 degrees warmer over the weekend when most of East coast was suffering under 100 degree plus temps. Property has small pool, hot tub, game room, large lounge with flat screen TV, restaurant (which we didn't try as buffet looked ordinary in favor of local place in Davis), and free internet -- which worked outside as we were enjoying wonderful mountain views in lawn chairs and listening to sounds of the water falls. There's also a small fitness center but as we were bicycling and enjoying the outdoors, no need for it on our part.

The lodge is typical of those in state parks. Don't expect elegance, and the place needs a facelift but it is nice for a park locale. Trails are very convenient to the lodge, and the park is great.

Blackwater Falls State Park Lodge is a great place to stay. It's inexpensive and there's beautiful hiking just steps away. The temperatures always are cooler here than in Baltimore or Washington, DC. This also is a good place to stay if you want to explore Dolly Sods Wilderness Area (but sleep in a soft bed rather than camp).

The food in the lodge is okay, not wonderful. We go to the Purple Fiddle in the next town for live music and good food every night.

My wife and I just got back from a really enjoyable trip to West Virginia. We stayed at Blackwater Falls State Park. (In one of the Cabins). The cabin and park are very clean. Lots of great hiking trails. Beautiful view of the canyon and mountains. The cabins have a stove and fridge, but do not have TV. (which was fine for us). A tip for people that are not use to the mountains. Distance is determined by hours not miles. A place that might be only 10 miles away could take you 45 minutes to get to. Also Do not eat at the lodge, food isn't that great. Davis has a few restaurants. But I would recommend getting food in town and cooking at the cabin.
