The door looked freshly kicked in, the toilet didn’t actually flush, the food.. Jesus Christ, there were stains on the carpet of a questionable nature. If you’re looking for a hotel in the area, don’t.

Where to begin…my son’s wedding was here last weekend and quite honestly it was perfect!!! Patty and the Handel family went above and beyond to ensure that it was my daughter in law’s dream wedding and it was. All the staff were amazing(the servers, Ray and the bar staff, Chef Kyle the food was amazing)! Thank you, I highly recommend the Blackthorne Resort.

They put on a steampunk fest advertising this huge festival had to pay for tickets. Went there was 10 vendors a maybe 6 people from the campground. No one asked for tickets wasted gas and money for a complete scam. It’s a campground. Buyer beware scam. Attorney general complaint

Only have one star because the bar food was decent. Used to be a family-themed resort for many years but seems to only cater to bikers and RV campers. Rooms were semi-inhabitable, but definitely needed some TLC. Spiders, loose toilet and no WiFI coverage are just the start. Notified that check-in was 4pm and arrived around that time. Rooms were still not ready for another hour. Pool and tiki bar were decent but place was a ghost town. Not much to do up there, since most places are closed or abandoned. Save yourself the trouble and drive two more hours to Lake George. Much nicer and plenty to do.

Went to "The rats nest run in" and it was a fantastic experience! Blackthorne is an awesome adult themed resort that does offer a playground and pool for kids. If you like being a big kid, don't get grumpy over noise and are well able'd this place is a must to visit.Noteworthy details: Free martini hour for "The rats nest run in"

I have been visiting friends here for years, this is my first season as a seasonal canper. I love it! The owner showed us around, he was very welcoming. The entire staff is amazing and the food and drinks food are always good. Because of the Handel family many people have a place where families and friends come to gather, have fun and make memories. This place means a lot to the community and guests. Thank you Handel family for everything. Cristin Emond.

We were assigned to the "Brefini" building and let me tell you, it was abominable! Atrocious! Flat out disgusting and falling apart! It was like something you would see in a movie with dirty cracked out whores and pimps Definitely some health and safety hazards there. You got a nice whiff of some good old mold and mildew as soon as you opened the door. The floor felt like you were about to fall right through it and the bed?! I'm pretty sure that bed was standing on it's last splinter. The mattress, just light a match I guess our first red flag should have been the hearse right outside of our door But in all sincerity, the owner's should be ashamed of themselves for even considering this building to be acceptable sleeping quarters. That building definitely hasn't seen a bottle of bleach, lysol or a dusting rag in A LONG WHILE. I tried cleaning it myself with disinfectant and even putting on our own set of clean sheets, but it just wasn't enough. We ended up not even spending the night there and booked a CLEAN and solid room down the street at McGrath's. It was like night and day! A bunch of friend's (10+) that we were with for a private event, that were assigned to other buildings, were appalled as well and couldn't sleep there either. They ended up sleeping in friend's campers, friend's houses that had houses nearby, or booking other CLEAN rooms nearby as well. Everyone else unfortunately had no other choice to stay because either they couldn't find anything, or they were from too far away to go back home. They all had issues with either lack of cleanliness and or clogged up overflowing toilets The outside of the property was fine. For our event we cooked and bbq'd all day and night, so we had our own food which was nice. The pool and play areas were all acceptable for the kids and they all had a good time. The tiki bar area was fine and the bartender was very nice and sweet. The bathrooms in the center of the field were absolutely disgusting and toilets all overflowing. The bathrooms and showers to the edge of the field by the campers was tolerable. The lady Cara when calling was always very sweet. The lady at the counter when checking in, looks at you and gives off a vibe like you're bothering her. All in all, IF we ever come back (and that's a BIG IF, because we'll be talking to our parties that we were with), we will NEVER pay for/book another room here again. Outside, the field, the bar, the pool etc., all acceptable/tolerable for the most part. The rooms, NYS DOH should DEFINITELY shut that sh** down, along with building and code enforcement. Definitely check out ALL of the reviews on Google, Yelp, Trip Advisor and Facebook FIRST before making your decision. Oh, and I'm reading reviews that the owner's/management said "they're working on it". This is BEYOND "working on it". The cleaning and maintenance on this place has CLEARLY been neglected for YEARS. If it weren't for the outside being ok, this review would have been 1 star.

I was tenting so don't have direct evidence or the room. A friend's room (behind the main building) was very nice! Food was great! Great service by any staff I had contact with and especially great service by Liz in the restaurant!

This place is basically a family resort with the emphasis on "basic".I was in the area for a week long music fest and there weren't many options due to the late start by the organizers. The Blackthorne is a fixture in the area and a family owned business.But it obviously has seen better days. I wasn't expecting a five star accommodation but I've had fishing cabins that were less Spartan. The plus is that its great for glamping and the area is rather picturesque. It has a pretty neat pool with a "Tiki" bar. And for people who have rooms they have *** breakfast and dinner with a couple of entree choices.However, I can't recommend the Blackthorne in its present state It really needs a serious facelift.

I arrived at the hotel and went into the reception office and paid for my week. Stay at the resort I asked for a site map, they did not have one instead someone showed me the size. It was about half a mile away from the office. I had to go back to the office to find out where the toilets were when I was told all the toilets were closed down temporarily for work, so I could not use them that was the start of my nightmare in this place. I would not recommend this to anyone. I would stay well away from it because it's run by a bunch of cowboys. Thank you
