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!

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.

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!
