Super friendly management and a nice clean park. Well laid out park with a beautiful pond. We were directed to our site and helped pull in which was a great way to start. Really appreciate the friendly service.

Great Park. With full hookups Phenomenal clean and spacious restrooms and showers. Extremely nice staff. We stayed here a week and a fifth wheel Would definitely recommend coming back

Well for starters, you need to turn the Rutledge lake Rv parks map 180 degrees. The 5 sites next to the lake (pond) are actually outside the main campground. Plus there isn't any grass at any campsite, all large gravel, surly no bare feet walking. We tried using the paddle boats, but they are in bad condition, plus the lake(pond) was way to dirty with pond grass, definitely you wouldn't want to swim there. Plus we couldn't get internet, went to the office to make them aware of the problem, but never was fixed during our stay. Don't figure on ever going back. 😒

I just spent 4 days at Rutledge Lake RV Park and I loved it. I had a waterside site and it was perfect. There was even a small dock with metal chairs and a table I sat at to drink my coffee in the morning. Kayaks and paddle boats are available to take out onto the water. Although it rained and I didn’t get to take out a kayak, I plan on another trip there soon. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this RV park.

Fantastic Place. The owner is very nice and helpful as well as her son Conner. Very professional and will work with you. The park is kept immaculate and it feels like a country setting but only minutes from town. I would recommend this park to anyone.
