We recently stayed here with our camper for a promotional weekend, and it was great. Although we didn't end up buying a membership just because it wasn't the right time for us, the price for the membership was definitely within reason for what they offer, the campground was awesome for adults and kids, there was so much do to and so many different activities that went on while we were there, had a small hiccup with the Scavanger Hunt but other than that we had a great time, every weekend is something different! The staff were all so friendly and helpful, all of our neighbors we also so friendly, if you have the time and resources to get a membership here I highly recommend it. We missed out on a great opportunity, but maybe someday we will be able to join the family. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this resort. We toured in August 2023 and while purchasing a membership was not the right choice for us at the time, I can see why many decide to do so! The park is beautifully maintained and clean. Options for family fun are unending: 2 pools, putt putt golf, tennis, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, kayaks, fishing...etc. Staff was very friendly and while we were told we would be in the 800 loop when we used our 3 day-2 night certificate, security gave us nice options in the 400 loop. The higher the number loop the further away from the lake but golf carts seem to be in abundance here! We came Sunday-Tuesday and it was very quiet. Based on the activities overview brochure for the week, weekends are super-busy with bands, DJ's and all sorts of camp-led activities for all ages! It is indeed a private resort and you must purchase a membership or be the guest of a member to enter. It feels very safe. If you enjoy camping, are looking to either set up a permanent site or simply be a "rover" ( one who comes in and out without a dedicated site but a guaranteed space), I would suggest calling and taking the tour.

We really enjoyed our stay here! We camped in the 900's (sites very near their RV storage area at far end of park). Lots of beautiful RV sites that are permanent and have owners that genuinely care for their spot in this world. Unfortunately, it's over 1.2 miles to get from our site to the park entrance/exit. That and there is a VERY strict 5 MPH policy. I'll do the math for you: it takes about 14 minutes to get to your site (if you're towards the back) once you pass the entrance or to exit the park once you get into your vehicle and start rolling. If you don't like tacking on over 28 extra minutes to your travels at an already far-from-any-city RV park on a two-way trip, I suggest getting a site very close to the entrance. Park 'planners' should have had an access road with a higher speed limit that connects the back half of the park to the main road put in to mitigate this.

My family has been coming up to the lake since the 1980's and we've always loved it at the lake. I'm the 3rd generation of my family to own a membership at Rainbow Lake

I must say this place is by far my favorite campground! The staff have been very polite, friendly and accommodating. I love everything about this campground and the people who camp there are also very friendly. Beautiful campground all around! I can't say there is anything I didn't like about it. I don't have a membership (yet) but would love another opportunity to camp there next year if possible. Thank you Allegheny Mountain Resort for making my camping experience the very best it can be! God Bless!Very truly yours,Tony Cifelli
