Beautiful park (is West Virginia ever not beautiful?), abundant wildlife, and decent wifi. Some of the trails are under construction, one was closed because it hadn't been permanently marked and another required sliding down a steep mountainside because the stairs were still being built, but it's all fun, gorgeous, and not too dangerous. If anything the rough edges help in appreciating the scenery, you'd otherwise be speeding down a wide, flat trail without looking around all that much. 3 deer casually walked right in front of me! The park's trail system connects to a rail trail just outside its borders, with lots of cool tunnels, bridges, and ghost-towns to explore.
As for the lodge, some rooms have good WiFi, others are connected to repeaters that don't work so well. But no worries, if you get a room without reliable internet, just walk down the hall until you can get a working connection, tell the front desk which room number the working connection starts at, and you'll get moved to the nearest empty room. Free breakfast is coffee and delicious cinnamon or almond paste pastries, which are likely local because they're too tasty and interesting not to be. Also, the restaurant serves the best chocolate cheesecake I've ever had, the chocolate was so rich, complex, dark, and fresh that it almost tasted like berries. I had trouble finishing a small half-slice, and I'm a 6'3" guy who'd been hiking all day.response / report this review -

Staff of courteous and friendly and the location is fantastic. The lodge rooms are very dated and need to be updated. Overall a nice place to stay though.

We love North Bend. We have been there more than a few times with a group and they always treat us very well. Cabins are cozy and clean. The lodge is wonderful. The dining room is so full of light and beautiful WV scenery all around. Can't always get to book at North Bend, it has so many programs going on.

Wonderful environs with decent camping sites. I've only been here for the wildfood event so do not know what the lodge food or lodging tastes like.

Very nice park and cabin. Some smaller cabins would be nice, since it was just me and the dogs. Would return.

My family and I have been going to North Bend State Park for years. It's a great park. We especially like the bike trail.

The trip to the lodge is long and windingliterally. But it is completely worth it. The staff is friendly and courteous. The food at the dining area is very good with excellent service. We stay here every year and it continues to be a great time.

Great place for the family. We usually camp but got a cabin this year. There's plenty of space in the three bedroom that has 7 beds. Master bed is only a full & there is only WiFi at the lodge.

This was my first visit to the park in many years and it was a wonderful experience!! The food was delicious, service exceptional, and the nature photo opportunities around the park were endless.

North Bend has a little bit for everyone! The fish may be small now, but the fishing is great! Plenty of nature and neat trails. The rail trail runs along it.

Not pleased, will not be back. The whole building has a stagnant, displeasing odor. Staff was everything OPPOSITE of what I would expect from hospitality industry. I was a part of a large business group that was holding a conference for the weekend and we had paid to be here for our essential oils event specifically. The staff complained about the smell of our essential oils - directly to us - THEIR CUSTOMER - that had paid to host an essential oil event at their facility. They made rude remarks, put downs, and even went as far as to say that our oils were making them have an asthma attack. (Highly unlikely as the particular oils we were using actually would have helped support the respiratory system). It was obvious the staff was ignorant on the subject matter and judgmental due to lack of familiarity. In any regard, they should never have made such disparaging remarks to us, as their guests. (We were using peppermint oil and wild orange - 2 wonderful very pleasing aroma oils - it's not like we were using patchouli & Frankincense or something!). They complained repeatedly to many event attendees, in a passive-aggressive manner getting little "digs" in throughout. They then sprayed a ton of "Febreeze" in rebellion, a product loaded with unsafe "fragrances", synthetic ingredients, and not something I want to be subjected to in my lungs. The restaurant was no better. Our meals were edible at best. The dessert was the only good part. Our meals were preplanned for our group, and the staff in the restaurant would tell us to help ourselves to the buffet and then pretty much not come back to check on us at all. I could write more, but it's not worth any more of my time. Bottom line, if you want to stay with grouchy / rude staff, who are apparently not at all trained or aligned to the hospitality industry, in rooms that are VERY outdated (and not in the rustic charm kind of way), and walk through hallways that smell of mold, mildew, and just funky "stank", then MAYBE this lodge is for you.
