Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort

 

We recently had an amazing vacation at Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort.   This campground and resort in Santa Claus Indiana is a hidden treasure.  Lake Rudolph features over 500 sites including hundreds of vacation rentals, full-hookup RV sites and tent sites nestled in a wooded setting with family fun amenities. Lake Rudolph is owned and operated by Sun Communities/Sun RV Resorts.  I never thought we would have such a great time.  Not only was the resort area appealing to the kids but also the adults.  We were very impressed with how clean the grounds are kept and how beautiful the property really is. The staff are top notch and provide a friendly, fun, and safe environment for every family.  This is quite an impressive vacation spot and best of all it is conveniently located next to Holiday World & Splashin Safari.

What’s Different about Lake Rudolph?

Guests can enjoy the RV Experience without owning their own RV! Lake Rudolph’s multiple family vacation rental options include 275 Cabins, Cottages & Rental RVs. The resort also offers 187 full-hookup RV sites (majority have paved pad & patio) and 40 tent sites with water & electric.

My family and I stayed in the Rudolph Christmas Cabins.  The kids had a ball and enjoyed the loft sleeping.  We cooked all our own meals at the cabin and we made use of the Camp Store for the things we left behind.  Take the video tour at Rudolph Christmas Cabins.
