Plymouth Rock Camping Resort

My review applies to the restaurant, only, which is located next to the swimming pool that sits at the NE corner of the property (near the path to the lake). The restaurant is open from 7AM — 9PM, and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, from a fairly lengthy menu for a «snack bar» type operation. The thing that surprised (and delighted me) was it’s all cooked to order, no frozen/​reheated type stuff which you can often find in an operation like this. They have burgers, tenders, broasted chicken, pizza, appetizer type snacks, and a Friday fish fry featuring perch, walleye or cod. Very Wisconsin! Soft drinks, coffee, water, slushies and beer are available, and they have a kids menu. I’d call the costs «value pricing.» IMHO, it’s very inexpensive for a place serving a captive audience. Good show folks.

Great Place!!! We came from June 17−19^th and this is considered pre-​camping season still. We enjoyed the quiet camping grounds. There are 2 pools we visited (one has a tot friendly 1′ deep area) and the other hosts a hot tub. There is an adult swim only from 9 PM –10 PM. One of my favorite features was the camp store. The prices are NOT abusive (as MANY places are!!). The prices are reasonable! They make fresh donuts every Saturday and Sunday (mornings only) that taste like a mesh between a Cinnabon, Carnival and a Homemade donut. Very yummy, very big, only $ 1.00 each! We went to the lake; they rent out Family canoes, single paddle boards, family paddle boats and single kayaks at the camp store (Single $ 10/​hr and Family stuff $ 15/​hour, again, very REASONABLE prices). Elkhart lake is a great size; we canoed all around it and even did a mini hike on a small island found in the middle of the lake! Obviously, this is a common trend, as the island already has a dirt trail through the middle of it. You can get from one end of it to the other in under 2 minutes! The bathrooms are always clean and/​or acceptable. No complaints there. The only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars was because there is a racetrack (people are calling it «Road America «and you CAN hear the races during the day!!! I’m not fussy, so I can tolerate it, but it would be much nicer without the constant racing, and starting at 8 AM they sound off a HUGE boom (to start of the race (s)?) and it feels like they go off about every hour more or less! Once it gets dark out though, it nice and quiet. Please note: this «feels» like a residential /​camping community. There seem to be year-​round trailers set up. Overall, would I come again? YES. My family and I enjoyed our stay. :)

This place has all the necessary campground activities and has a nice set up even if not particularly clean or well maintained (no hot water for showers). BUT… Their central reservations center is a mess. Missing and double booked reservations, outright lies about where we are located just to get a booking. We have a group of seven that have been camping every Memorial Day weekend for years and this year they started allowing people to book our sites before we were even gone. Raising prices 10−20% each year with no apparent renovations. These corporate campground owners coupled with apathetic office clerks have really screwed up what used to be a good family time.

Let me start off with the positive things first. My boyfriend and I rented a cabin, it was the least expensive in the area. We went during the off season and rented the one room cabin. The cabin was small, but cozy for the two of us. I can’t imagine more people in that cabin. The people that worked there were really nice and helpful. You are not far from civilization, so if you forget something, it’s only 10 minutes from the local walmart. The main bathrooms with the showers are really nice. I’ve been to much worse. There are a lot of activities for children.
Ok, now the negative:
There are NO hiking trails even tho the map shows a hiking symbol. There were NO fishing, the lake froze over last year and they are restocking the lake.
Apparently a wonderful genius decided to put a race car track right across the resort. Which means instead of the quiet sound of nature, we heard nothing but race cars and even the announcements over the PA from the guy talking about the race. This happened every day we were there for hours.
The one room cabin was even before the gate, and facing the street. Nice to try to relax with nothing but cars, motor homes, motorcycles all parked in front getting a gate key. Especially when they left their vehicles on, gotta love a big diesel motor home’s noise.
The cabin had some nasty smell to it. We had to get a candle and keep it lit during the day. The beds feel awful. Good luck getting a good night rest.
Since you could be a permanent resident, almost everyone had golf carts. To rent one out for the day was $ 65! Then a lot of drunk punk kids drive around, make a lot of noise, music blaring and yell. Security did nothing.
If you have no children, and only adults, no activities. That’s fine, but being a «resort» you would think they would cater to every age group, at least in the off season.
Overall, we made the best of it. Nice scenic drives, and local small towns. But honestly, would not go there again, I do not care that they are the cheapest compared to many.

We had two families spend a weekend at Plymouth Rock Campground. We had a bike stolen from he pool area (we later found it at another campsite). On Saturday night we were woken up by what sounded an explosion, only to find that someone (or a group of people) had come to our campsite, threw two cans of insect repellent into the remains of our campfire — causing them to explode. They also threw one of our camp chairs into the fire, the explosion ruined three other chairs. Adding in the items that were taken from our site that night we suffered about $ 200 in losses. When we got back home I emailed the campground to express my disappointment. To my surprise I never received a return email or call.

Thirty seconds from the Road America race track, and therefore about equal distance from Elkhart lake and Plymouth stores.
I have stayed here for the past week. The campground is really well maintained. The common areas are very clean. Like the common area bathrooms and laundry facility.
I stayed in a deluxe cabin. Which had two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a sitting area and kitchen area. I thought it was excellent. Same price as a single room at the Baymont Inn. But fit two people easily, and could fit more. There was cable or sat tv in the sitting room. There probably isn’t internet, although I was able to get a wireless signal. You probably shouldn’t count on it.
Hint for after hours arrivals: They were very kind to leave our check in materials for us in a packet. However, the key for the room was inadvertently left out, so that caused some confusion.
And there is a code for getting in the front door. That is written out on a small card and takes the form *12 345 So you press star or asterisk and then the number on your yellow card.
To us, at 2 in the morning, we didn’t notice this code at first in our packet of check in materials. So we tried typing our room number in etc. We figured it out eventually, but just be aware of this.
But the facility is really excellent in my opinion.
