Please, in the name of all that is holy, DO NOT STAY AT LAKE RUDOLPH. If you’re wondering why, I’m happy to tell you all the reasons. First of all, the Lake Rudolph experience absolutely destroys anything people actually like about the great outdoors. Between the loud movies they show, the loud campers shouting and drinking at the next campsite... More

We have stayed with a group of friends every year. Our favorite is the new Christmas cabins. Plenty of room, clean, huge deck that the kids "camped" on, great air conditioning, plenty of supplies for cooking, and easy access to bus stops. Shower is only about 6ft so if you have anyone tall its not going to work. Hot water... More

My family loves this place! We go every year. You can tent camp, rent a cabin, rent an RV or bring your own camper/RV. We rent an RV, which works great for us. They supply dishes and cookware. You just bring your bedding, clothes, food, etc. The property is located right next to Holiday World and offers free shuttle service... More

This is a campground and resort next door to Holiday World. If you are wanting nature and quiet this is probably not the place for you. It is a very busy place and because it is geared to family's there are lots of kids. You can also rent golf carts to get around the grounds which is the appeal to... More

We stay every year for the Halloween Weekends. It is so much fun! The campground is clean - bathrooms are very nice and heated. Campstore has many amenities and if they don't - there is a grocery store and dollar store across the street. We used our own camper but have viewed the cabins and the rental RVS - they... More

We camped in our own RV and had a Deluxe Site with a concrete pad – pad was perfectly level (69-D) Some spots looked easy to back into, ours was not – very... More

I have stayed at the campground about four or five times now. I go to Holiday World every June for their Holiwood Nights event with a lot of fellow park/coaster enthusiasts. For the last two Junes I have stayed at the Legendary cabins with friends. I cannot stress enough how awesome this campground is. It's very shaded, clean, quiet, and... More
