I absolutely LOVE Randy's. He was the most helpful man ever when my friends and I accidentally locked our keys in our car. He spend more time than expected to unlock the doors, which he did successfully. The grounds were beautiful and well kept and we had no issues with noise. I loved that we could go up to the... More

I haven't actually been there yet, but I am not looking forward to my experience. I called to ask about their predictions on the weather and the lady that answered the phone, Laura?, was completley out of line and rude. Pretty much told me that I was an idiot to call and ask someone what the weather would be like... More

This was my first trip to Randy's and I guarantee it will be my LAST. They don't enforce any quite time in the evening. There was some guy blowing a air horn all night one night then someone shooting off fireworks. Don't get me started on the obnoxiously loud music that I'm pretty sure the next county can hear. The...

I reserved three kayaks and had them paid for in advance. they must have smelled money at randys store because they treated me like a dumb tourist, and talked down to me and my friends. the old ugly lady that looked like she had a leather saddle bag for a face tried charging me 15 extra dollars to transport our...

IF you camp here, do not camp near the bar in the electric sites...it was absolutely horrible. I have camped over a hundred times, and this was the worst! We had kids camping with us...the bar was so loud and so annoying, we couldn't sleep. After it closed down, people still hung around drinking and talking, music from cars...lots of... More

If you camp there don't stay in the electric sight go down below. Very noisy near a bar. We got no sleep and the profanity that they used was not something we wanted our kids to hear. It was the complaint of many of the families camping that weekend. Otherwise Randy supplies the canoes at reasonable rates and great service.... More

The views are breath-taking, but the camp left something to be desired. The portajohns were always clean, but there were no trashcans available, so people tossed their beer cans on the ground. Expect loud country music blaring from someone's truck, hunting dogs running through your camp (my tent got peed on 3 times), and people yelling obscenities into the wee... More

I have gone to Randy's for a good many years. (20) and in that time, I have always left with nothing but positive things to say. Randy is always around and willing to help you in any way he can. The shuttle services are just fine and on time. ONe year, Randy let us in a bit before the official... More

Randy's has all it advertises - a campground, a "store", a bar/restaurant. Don't expect much more. The prices are fair, and people friendly enough; food at the grill was good and the dropoff/pickup service for various points was good and reasonable. Randy's needs to invest a little of more in things like signs, facilities and security (quite time is at... More

It is not a hotel, but a camp ground. You wuld choose to stay there to have him outfit you with canoes to canoe down the Upper Iowa river from Kendalville to Bluffton. It is some of the most amazing cliffs and bluffs and is a great weekend trip. We have stayed there four or five times now over the... More
