They also have a kitchen staff that does food for events st the center. We had an amazing buffet with grilled chicken, pork loin, red roasted potatoes, green beans, and salad. Everything was cooked perfect and was very flavorful. It was more like being in a fine dining establishment than a conference center. It seems they must have a hired chef on site which was a great idea considering they could have just went with regular buffet style food. A great place to have a business meeting and event in the Bridgeport/ Clarksburg area.

But it was disappointing. Our reservation was for 12:45 but we didn't get seated until after 1:00. Stood in hallway which was full of other waiting patrons AND those already seated because they had to go to other rooms across the hall to get their food. Not a happy solution. After seating there were no instructions as to procedures. We waited a few minutes then were told to wait for waitress to take drink orders before going across hall to get food. Waited several more minutes. Waitress was VERY busy so we went to get food and she got our drinks later (and dutifully refilled glasses when asked.) Many of the platters of various cold foods were empty. Others were messy and uninviting. I suppose everything advertised on menu was (or had been) there, although I never saw even a suggestion of avocado. We opted out of waffles, omelets and breakfast - too bustling. The hot foods were pretty readily available. The beef carvery was well attended and the beef was cooked well. The southern fried chicken was pretty good except the bread coating was quite crusty - almost like a hard shell. The shrimp was tasteless and the pork marsala was not very good either. The scalloped potatoes were delicious and possibly the second best thing they served. Desserts were attractive, fairly tasty and the layered chocolate cake was the star of the show! A jazz quartet played intermittently throughout - nice touch. We had to ask and wait for our check and the waitress did not tell us she would take care of it at table - so I wandered the hallway searching for a checkout register. The price of $24 was the same as the North Bend State Park charges for their holiday brunches. North Bend is not nearly as confusing and boisterous AND the food is better tasting. I do not expect to choose Bridgeport over North Bend again.

Tygart Lake State Park, Grafton, WV. Mon-Tues, Sept 8-9, 2025. This state park, in the foothills…read moreof the Allegheny mountains in scenic north-central West Virginia, features a 10-mile long, 1,750 acre lake. The lake offers the usual water activities (swimming, boating, scuba diving, fishing (bass!), but also Adventure Lake with inflatables (closed when we visited). There are also trails for family-friendly hiking or biking, as well as options for staying overnight (a lodge and campground). There are also playgrounds for the kiddos. Our activities included: *Stopped at the PARK OFFICE to pick up a map. The ranger was friendly and helpful. The NATURE CENTER in the same building was closed. *Checked out the overlook near the DAM which regulates the waters of the Tygart Valley River. This is a tourist-friendly area with a visitors center/restrooms, informational signs, covered picnic tables, outdoor tables with phone charging stations, a WV photo-op at an "Almost Heaven" swing, free parking, and more. The U.S. Corps of Engineers also offers free tours of the dam every Friday in June, July, and August; pre-registration is required. *HIKED the easy Tygart Dam Trail (1.7 miles out-and-back, 160' elevation gain) that connects the Tygart Lake Dam to the Tygart Lodge. The trail was mostly flat, except for a steep paved section at the very beginning/ending on the dam side. There were limited views of the lake from the trail due to foliage, except near the lodge. Our turn around point was the lodge. We sat on a bench on the stairwell going up to the lodge to drink some water and eat a snack; a minor concern was that wasn't a bench in the shade. *Finally, we CAMPED overnight in our Class-B (van-sized) RV in the campground. There are 36 well-maintained sites, of which 26 are non-electric sites ($29.99/night) and 10 that offer 50-amp electric and water for $39.99. While the office on-site was closed when we arrived (Mon, 3:45 pm), there was a sign outlining ways to pay either by calling or online. Each site had a picnic table and fire ring. The restrooms/showers, about 50 yards from our site, were clean. We were one of only two campers on the night that we visited so it was very peaceful, and we enjoyed being able to see the dark night sky. We noted, however, that the sites are close together and campers wouldn't have much privacy at busier times. Also, wi-fi was unstable at our (but not all) sites. Overall, we had a very peaceful stay. While we encountered occasional people in the park office, on the trails, in the dam area, and in the campground, it was mostly a solitary experience on a Monday-Tuesday in early September. Also, some of the attractions (Adventure Lake, kayak rental, the Nature Center, campground office) were closed. We didn't have any security concerns. We hope to return one day.

I will never forget my experience at Tygart Lake State Park. What could have been a frightening and…read moredangerous situation instead became one of the safest and most welcoming places I have ever been in my life. Special, heartfelt thanks to Park Ranger Patrick Miller -- truly a power ranger in every sense of the word. Ranger Miller immediately understood that it would have been far more dangerous to turn me away from an RV site. I was a first-time RV driver, snow was coming in, and I am from Louisiana, with no experience driving in winter conditions. His judgment, compassion, and leadership quite literally kept me safe. He tried to help me reverse the camper himself, assessed the situation carefully, and made sure I was secure -- recognizing that I had a winterized vehicle with its own bathroom and that staying put was the safest option. Under his leadership, his team -- JR, John, JJ, and others -- checked on me repeatedly, helped me make a fire, and even jumped my car when it stalled, despite the fact that roadside assistance never showed up when it should have. When my car stalled again later at The Lodge, they were there for me again. People like Jason from Tygart Lake and everyone associated with this park showed up every single time I needed help -- calmly, professionally, and with genuine care. What stood out most was that they didn't just "do their jobs." They cared. Every person I encountered at Tygart Lake State Park made me feel protected, respected, and welcomed. Under the leadership of Park Ranger Patrick Miller, this team embodies what public service is supposed to be. I truly felt like I was meant to be here, and I have never felt safer anywhere. This park -- and the people who run it -- are a treasure. I am deeply grateful. Update: 12/18/25 Horrible Customer Service at GIFT SHOP I bought a one-of-a-kind, hand-blown glass ornament from the lodge gift shop that was supposed to light up. No one tested it at purchase, and when I got back to my room it didn't work. A staff member told me to bring it back for a battery replacement, but when I returned a different staff member was condescending and treated me like I was trying to get away with something over a $2 battery. I've spent close to $1,000 at the lodge in about a week, and this experience left me feeling accused instead of helped. By the time anyone tried to make it right, the tone had already done the damage, and I ended up canceling my New Year's Eve booking and taking my business elsewhere. This wasn't about the battery--it was about how I was treated.

They were also making fresh brick oven pizzas although we did not have any they looked good. There is a chapel-like building right there that was set up for a wedding that afternoon and it was very cute with black painted corrugated ceiling and stained glass windows. There are also cabins on-site which would probably be good for the wedding party although they didn't look too great and built a little jenky. The tasting room was small and cozy with stone walls and beams all around. There was one person working the tasting room and it was crowded but she was pleasant and efficient and we didn't have to wait too long in between pours. The wine isn't great and they don't grow their own grapes but outsource them from California, New York and other areas. They do have a nice Niagara wine (obviously from NY) and the BlackBerry Merlot was pretty good too. We bought a bottle of each of those but the others were just meh or yuck. (A few even had a vinegar taste to them). But it's a cute winery and I still recommend a visit. There were 5 in our group and after our tasting we each got a glass to enjoy on the covered patio while listening to the music piped into the outdoor speakers (current music from 70s to now but nothing obnoxious). Tasting was super cheap at only $5. It's worth a visit.
