This is a great, family friendly campground that's well maintained and has wonderful amenities. Our kids absolutely loved the swimming pond with diving docks and inflatables. We enjoyed ice cream from the camp store, wood fired pizza night - delivery right to your camper, - the arcade - several games were only .50, - the playground, and basketball court. Next time we'll bring fishing gear and try out the fishing pond too and we'll bring the kids bikes. We were there the weekend they had a VW bus group camping out and there was a band two nights for them. The band wasn't our kind of thing, but many campers enjoyed it. Our site was in a new section that had only been open a few weeks. Very nice, with leveled gravel grading making it easy to level the camper, poured concrete pads right outside your door, and full hookups.

My husband and I were at one of the primitive campsites during the month of October. They have the cleanest facilities I have ever seen. Everything was well-maintained and well-stocked. We got to experience one of their Halloween weekends, and it was a blast! The decorations were adorable, and they had family-friendly Halloween activities. We even got some trick or treaters! The people in the office were very nice and helpful. They even brought our firewood to our site, which was pretty far out there. That was a really convenient touch. The quiet hours start at 10:30, and they are actually enforced, which is great, because we go to bed early. This was our first time "cold camping" and I couldn't have asked for a better one. We will definitely be returning to Rustic Knolls!

Rustic Knolls is a beautiful campground and we love coming back every year. Camp Master Frank is a great host and my favorite thing is that the campgrounds first priority is that the kids have a safe place to play. The new inflatables in the pond are amazing for kids and adults. The kids also love exploring in the creek and the playing with others at the large playground. We recommend Rustic Knolls to anyone who is looking for a place to camp.

Rustic Knolls campground is owned by the most rude people i have ever meet in my life. I felt that they treated me and my family as trash when we spent almost 400.00 there in 4 days. They were very rude to my kids and that is the biggest thing that bothered us. Even the permanent campers that are here do not wave or talk to you, they act as if you are in there place and they do not want you there. I think they want this to be a private campground so maybe they should make it a private campground so they can all be snotty stuck up pricks by themselves.

We stayed at Rustic Knoll Campground this weekend and it was fantastic! All the restrooms and showers were extremely clean. They had two ponds. The fishing pond was very well stocked. The Swimming pond was clear to the point to where we could see the bottom. The owner, Frank went out of his way to make every guest feel welcome. We camp a lot and most campgrounds you only see the staff if you go to the office. Frank was always walking around checking on the facilities and talking to the guests. This weekend Frank hosted (and played) in a golf outing with the guests. I can’t wait to see what other activities he has planned at the campground. We will definitely be going their again frequently.

We get to stay at Rustic Knolls every year when we come to town for a family reunion. The rates are reasonable, the bath house is very clean and the campsites are quiet. Especially enjoy the back lots that seem to accommodate tents and tent campers. The owners are helpful and very conscientious of the behaviors of the campers which makes it nice when you bring children along. It has become our family tradition to camp here every year.

"Seasonal full hookups are across from the office. If you don't need sewer or the pad, the Country camping area gives you a larger site"
