Best place to stay in the area!

This is the best place to stay in the area! Fun atmosphere w/ other campers...golf carts, events, things to do in the park, a lake, and the water slides were great! Cute cabins, shuttle to Holiday World was extremely convenient. Definitely better than any nearby hotels (have stayed in a couple different hotels in the area and they are yucky). Downsides are minimum 2-night stay and have to bring all linens & most kitchen stuffs but overall this place is a winner.

Absolutely loved staying here! Property was clean and beds were comfortable. Location was great and loved all the activities on site!! Only thing for improvement would be to have the cabin slightly better stocked in the kitchen or provide that info when booking. We didn’t know there were no towels or blankets provided. Bare bones on dishes and no large skillet to even cook with. We ended up spending quite a bit of money unnecessarily at Walmart when we could have packed those items. I will still definitely be back and recommend this place to others! I’ll just include that heads up. Beautiful place all around!

There are very few places like Lake Rudolph, and it happens to border the best family owned Park in the United States. Staff is wonderful, it’s a great area, the campground is lively while being family oriented, and the campground has tons of amenities and activities for kids (and adults who refuse to grow up). Thanks Lake Rudolph!

The air conditioner was not conditioning and the cabin felt damp. When we arrived, there was trash and glass around the cabin that we had to clean up. The pool was a little dirty and someone got sick in front of the entrance of the bath house, and it was there overnight.

Wonderful experience! The resort has made numerous upgrades since our last stay in 2010. The staff was professional as well as friendly. The cabins were very clean and surprisingly spacious. The property grounds are maintained well and the amenities have expanded. The pool is a nice size (never felt crowded). The splash pad area is somewhat small, but a nice addition. There are water slides for different heights. We enjoyed decorating our rented golf cart for the golf cart parade as well as many activities in the activity center, my granddaughter enjoyed making a tie dye shirt! We will be returning to Lake Rudolph next summer, it was a wonderful experience!

For the price, you’d think they would bath and bedroom linens. We had to buy towels and wash clothes. I can’t remember the last time I slept without any type of covering. Very awkward! Also, the they were pretty skimpy on the kitchen supplies. They didn’t have oven mitts, a drying rack or drying towels. Otherwise, they had pretty much everything else.

Cabin was uncomfortable

Our 2 night stay at Sun Outdoor cabins was very uncomfortable. The beds were hard, especially the sofa sleeper, every coil could be felt. There was only a bottom sheet, no cover, no blankets. No towels or wash cloths were provided at all. Soap in the shower did not work. We found many tiny ants in the bathroom, kitchen and on the beds. We really enjoyed Holiday World, but we left after our 2nd day at the park and forfeited the second night because the cabin was so uncomfortable, we were ready to go home.

The property was great! They had two really nice playgrounds for the kids. They also had a nice pool and kiddie pool. Loved that the pool had a large section that was only 3ft deep. My girls didnt even need floats. It was disappointing that the website didnt specify that the on site water park would be closed on friday and sunday. We went to holiday world on Saturday so we never got to play at the water park on site which we were really looking forward to, everything i read said itd be open daily during the summer season but apparently august, one of the hottest months of the year, doesnt count as the summer season. The busses were great and we loved being able to shuttle over to holiday world and shuttle back to our cabin. We got ice cream from the shop down by the pool and it was amazing! It was a HUGE cone and they had SO many flavors to choose from, the peanut butter banana was amazing! The cabins were nice to sleep in but thats about it, the wifi was awful, i couldnt use it to check email or anything because the connection was so poor. We couldnt watch TV at all in the living room due to the poor Wifi. We were able to watch tv in the bedroom that had a tv because it had cable. The only complaint i have is that the floors in the cabin was absolutely disgusting, no telling the last time it was mopped. My girls feet were jet black after walking around for less than 30 mins. I cleaned them thinking maybe they were dirty from outside, nope, jet black again after another 20.
