Nice cabins. Price isn't bad. Service lost 1 star because they forgot to give us the key at check in and it took 20 minutes for them to bring it to us. Use your GPS to find your spot. There is minimal lighting at night and road signs are hard to see. Also ignore your GPS. Drive west on SR 62 and turn right at the flasher. The main gate is just past the Holiday World parking lot on your right. If you follow your GPS it will route you all the way around the campground to the north.

Terrible campground. Everyone drives around on golfcarts at basically run you over or off the road if you are in a vehicle. The roads are really only wide enough for one vehicle but none of them are marked as one-way only. The prices are ridiculous and NONE of the amenities are included. Swimming? Not included. Golf-cart? Not included. Mini-golf? Nope. Quiet hours dont start until 11PM! So as you try and get your children to sleep at a reasonable hour like 9pm you can listen to golf-carts honking (at the 9pm parade!) or people blaring their music for another 2 hours! People leave trash everywhere. Tons of teenagers that seem to be employed there but, don't actually seem to do anything or have any answers to questions. Not worth the money and the headaches of that place.

We just returned from a 3 night stay at Lake Rudolph. We were there June 18, 19 & 20, 2024. I was expecting the worst, as far as cleanliness, from all of the negative reviews I had read from 2023. I took all kinds of cleaning supplies, bug sprays, rags, a mop... Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness. It was not immaculate, but it is a cabin in a campground. The sinks, tub, sheets, floors, deck, refrigerator, dishwasher & bathroom were all clean. The couch was in good condition & the mattresses were all very comfortable. We had an issue with one bug, probably a cockroach, but we have also stayed in 4 star hotels in Florida & found cockroaches. We were in a "Christmas Cabin" on Angel Way, # 387D. We locked in our cabin & also rented a 6 seat golfcart. I do agree that the prices are high. It was close to $450.00 per night. The grandkids had a great time. There are many activities available to keep them busy & so close to Holiday World. Overall a great time, but pricey.

I have tried to contact corporate and been ignored.. We stayed at the Rudolph campsite in Santa Claus Indiana like I stated before we would like a refund for one night and one night of the golf cart as we wound up leaving. the toilet seat was cracked, which pinched me and one of my Children left marks, there were also mouse droppings in the drawer where the silverware was and stains on the sheets. I have pictures of all this and since nobody has contacting us, I will give it until Monday morning and then I will have my attorney contact them with all the pictures since they don’t want to do anything about this and then I will also be posting with the Better Business Bureau and attaching all the pictures.

This is an amazing gem tucked away in southern Indiana. The campground is clean. I saw no trash. The bathroom and showers were clean. There was some cobwebs in bathroom stalls. This campsite has a lot of fun activities on site to keep everyone entertained. Pools, waterslides, playgrounds, mini golf, gem mining, and much more…and you can rent a golf cart to zoom around or even be in a golf cart parade.

We have gone to Lake Rudolph over Father’s Day weekend for the last 10 years. Until this year we took our RV and rented one of their RV Sites. They are decent but some are difficult to get into because of trees, other campsites too close and the somewhat hilly terrain. The price for the sites has gone up over 50% in the last 2 years. However since it was tradition we continued to go. This year we had a mechanical problem with our RV at the last minute so we had to change to a cabin. After reading the reviews and looking at the CRAZY HIGH PRICES we almost called off the trip. Our granddaughter was really looking forward to it and we really didn’t want to disappoint her do we decided to splurge on one of the family cabins. It was a lot of work getting ready because even with the HIGH prices they do not furnish top sheets, bedspreads or towels and wsshcloths or even a dish towel. It was not very clean especially the floors and the air conditioning vents. The worst part was the cabin was so hot. We contacted the office and they sent 2 service people to work on it because it was “froze up”. They got it working but told us the cabin would not get any cooler than 72 degrees because the thermostat cannot be set any lower than that. They told us that was the case for every cabin. 72 degrees would be fine but the temperature in the cabin never got below 78. It was very uncomfortable especially trying to sleep. When we went to the office the second day the said they would move us to another cabin. It was not an ideal solution because we had to pack up everything and move it all to another cabin. This would have been okay but the 2nd cabin was even hotter than the first one. It stayed about 80 degrees regardless of what we set the thermostat on. The only place cooler was the loft area that had a separate window unit. The stairs were very steep and you cannot stand upright in the loft so anyone with any back or mobility problems could not get up there. We did not sleep well at all due to being so uncomfortable. We did stop by the office when we checked out and told them once again of our voncerns and that our weekend was disrupted and uncomfortable even though the prices are exorbitant! They did agree to refund one night. Even with the refund the weekend was very expensive. Sadly our whole family is disillusioned with Lake Rudolph and will not be returning. It is the end of a long tradition but we feel like we could enjoy ourselves much more somewhere else for CONSIDERABLY less money.

Lots of teenagers drinking and driving golf carts while blaring music at night. Not as quiet or as cheap as it was before Sun bought it. Unfortunately it's still the closest place to stay and does offer a shuttle to get to/from the theme park. Showers were ice cold.

We had a great experience this time after a not so good one a few years ago but our main problem was when you all had campers...We stayed in a Candy Cane Cottage this time..Very nice!!!! We had a great time and my autistic son loves it here, his favorite vacation spot.. Thanks and your improvements are noticed and appreciated 🙂

This campground grew on us, the slides cost campers extra which is lame, the site they gave us was extremely small with a limb hanging over it that would have scratched the camper they gave us a new site and it’s extremely un level which seems to be on oar for the camp ground so bring a lot of blocks. The atmosphere is fun you definitely should get a golf cart. The staff is nice. Kinda pricey for what you get though.

We rented their cabins which were super expensive per night, but they looked nice and are right next to Holiday World. The location is great. It also would be a nice place to spend several days with all their amenities. Their camp shop was super cool and had several things if you ever forgot something. On the downfall there were several things broken or missing and for the price we paid that was very disappointing. My sister's cabin had a broken broom, missing fire extinguisher, and the TVs didn't work (which the TVs weren't huge but for the price we paid you'd think they would have things top notch). Ours had a broken towel rack laying on the floor, our TVs did not work well either, and several or the window shades had broken pieces. We did contact the staff and they did bring a fire extinguisher and try to work on the TVs.

Location was great. Right next to holiday world. The cabins left much to be desired. We stayed in one of the holiday cottages (252). A list of issues I have especially for the price point: 1. Linoleum floors were flapping in the wind. They were no longer glued down and moved every step you made. 2. The kitchen sink faucet was impossible. It flopped around and was very difficult to find hot water. 3. Only 2 eyes on the stove worked and the oven wouldn't get up to temperature. I cooked chicken for 1 hour on 400 degrees and it was still raw. We called maintenance to help with the issue but it was never resolved or followed up on. 4. The shower curtain was moldy 5. There was some kind of orange goop that came from the toilet tank every time it was flushed. 6. The ceiling fan in the living space would never turn on and the blades were floppy. 7. There were 100 light switches and we never found out what some of them went to. 8. For some reason the bunk bed in the kids room was 10x more comfortable. 9. No pot holders or dish towels available. The additional amenities seemed nice but I definitely there is room for improvement. We paid nearly $500 for 2 nights with a 30% off promo code. Without the promo code it would have been $700+/-.

We have been visiting Lake Rudolph during their Halloween weekends for 12 years. We have 9 families with multiple kids of various ages and we all rent cabins. It is a fun weekend but unfortunately this year will be our last year. I called this week to book cabins for 2025 and two nights will cost each family $754.88. These are not five star accommodations and we cannot justify that price.

We’ve stayed there for over 13 years and the recent price increase for 2025 is outrageous! We rent 6-7 cabins for our entire family. We will be looking elsewhere after his year. These prices are more than most nice hotels and are absolutely ridiculous for a cabin.

We stayed from Friday-Monday and 10/10 recommend. We stayed in a tent camp site. Having electric and water was nice. The bathrooms near 119K were personal bathrooms with a shower, toilet, and sink. So much better than a community bathroom. They were cleaned every morning. There’s no where to hang our towel or clothes so maybe prepare for that. We rented a golf cart and did the golf cart parade. We had last minute glow sticks but it was still a lot of fun. We seen golf carts with small pool blow ups as decorations. Next time we will be prepared and go all out. For the parade you can throw out candy and kids really do stand outside and wait. They meet at the lake at 8:30 to start the parade every Saturday
