We have been camping at Lake Rudolph for several years now. We love this campground for our family RV outings. The grounds are clean and the staff is beyond friendly. Our favorite trips are during the Halloween weekends. There are always lots of activities for the kids and the adults. If you are planning on visiting Holiday World the shuttle... More

This was our 2nd year to stay at lake Rudolph, last year in a small cabin and the beds were terrible to the point that we really did not sleep well. Other immenities in the small cabin were as expected (its a little tight for a family of 5). This year we stayed in the larger cabin, much more space... More

My husband, myself, our three kids and my nephew stayed here June 5th-7th. None of us had ever been to Lake Rudolf or even Santa Claus, IN for that matter. It was our first time. I chose Lake Rudolf for it's proximity to Holiday World and for the attractiveness of it's website. We rented Family Cabin 220D. After reading several... More

First time to stay at Lake Rudolph Campground in our 23' travel trailer with our two 'adult' kids. On the down side, it is somewhat overpriced - if you do not plan to take advantage of the other activities the campground offers (like the waterpark/pool area). The basic RV sites are not even near level sites. We spent a very... More

We have stayed at Lake Rudolph in their rental RV's for the last eleven years. While, we really like the Halloweekends, the price has gotten just too steep for camping. We put up with the increases over the years, because our children really loved to go, but now it is just ridiculous. By the time you rent an RV and... More

We stayed at Lake Rudolph 6/5-6/9. It was our first experience in this campground. Easy drive thru check in. We were escorted to our site. Full hook ups. Nice level concrete pad. Within easy walk to the pool (and future water slides). The free Holiday World shuttle alone is worth the stay. The camp store was a bit pricey but... More

We stayed May 9 - 12 2013. My daughter and I shared a regular cabin with my parents. Upon arrival we found no curtain or blinds on the window in the bathroom. We reported it immediately and it was fixed the next day. We also noticed how the bed sunk in the middle to the point of ridiculous. My folks... More

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
