Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park

This place is fun for the kids but is incredibly overpriced. $ 63 per night plus an extra $ 10 per night for me and my husband to each have our cars (we drove separately). After purchasing a few items at the run down, dirty «camp store,» we spent $ 160 to camp for two nights. For what the owner charges, the grounds should be pristine. I don’t think we’ll be returning.

this is campground is overpriced and dirty. the whole weekend I didn’t see one adult supervising the teenages that were working in the store & running the hayride. The campsites need improvements & the roads are tight for a large rv. The bathrooms were filthy when asked the teenager in the store if they were cleaned they said they check them.

Tacky, loud, trash everywhere, overpriced, and far off of the beaten path for what they have to offer. Drive a bit further and hit a nice private campground or hit a state park instead of wasting your money here when it could be used to improve the natural wonders.

Decent camping. WAY OVERPRICED.
$ 7 small bundle of wood, $ 63 a night and $ 8 an hour if you come in before reservation time. Why? Does the maid have to clean up and turn down the bed? The campground was ¼ full and we showed up an hour early.
This was our second trip here.
For that trip, We were passing through (in April) and set a reservation for late arrival. When we got here our site was already given away, they found an alternate site… situation handled adequately but it took about an hour and a half to resolve.
So between our trip in April and this visit in June, I told them lets call it even. They reluctantly agreed. They seemed more pleasant and accommodating in April, the front desk girl seemed disgusted and more interested in when her shift was up.
This all being said, our kids are older teens and not interested in Yogi. The abundant campground children seemed to have a great time doing singing hayrack rides until midnight. Great little kid atmosphere.

Really like this place but 1 week before Memorial Day paying full price, had to listen to power washer most of the afternoon then got kicked out of soaking our feet in a pool. Not sure why it’s summer rates???
Very disappointed! Too much money for no amenities!

We were just here for their opening weekend. The staff was incredibly helpful, hard working and kind. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen in a campground! The grounds were in good shape. They were still working on spring clean up but I was very impressed at how well maintained it was. The activities were fun and there were lots of them! The play park, mini golf were really nice! The snack bar food looked pretty good and there was a large souvenir selection. My only suggestion would be to better mark the campsite numbers and more items in the camp store for those forgotten things. I would definitely recommend this campground.

Our site was dirty – the campers’ oath of leaving it nicer than when you arrived – does not apply here.
Garbage was picked up at 4 AM – well past quite hour. And was not picked up when we checked in on Friday and didn’t get picked up again until 4 AM on Sunday – check out date.
Refugee Camp atmosphere – The sites are piled next to each other as close as a refugee camp.
Bathrooms – Two of the sinks in the women’s bath room worked but no paper towels. Three of the sinks in the men’s bath room worked.
Staff – no smiles.
Store – three of three times gave short change.
No aggressive dogs – Umm, the snarling pit bull chained up right next to paths where all campers including small children were – clear violation. Yogi must have looked the other way on that one. Or maybe Yogi was intimidated as well?
Bottom Line – I will tell anyone and everyone who camps to avoid this place forever.

Smaller than Amboy Jellystone but it was nice being able to walk to the activities and pools.
Staff was better than Amboy and had lots of activities for kids. Two nice pools that were clean and had lots of newer chairs and tables.
Game room was small and was more for older kids. The Amboy gameroom had games that would give tickets that could be exchanged for prizes.
No golf carts allowed here. Mini golf was nice and the store seemed well stocked.
Our site was small and the sewer hookups were close to your neighbors but we booked a couple days before and got the last few full hookup sites. The other sites seemed spacious.
It was quiet where we were at and not loud like some other previous comments but all it takes is a couple ignorant campers to ruin it for everyone else,
We definitely come back again.

We loved camping here so much that we decided to get a seasonal. HUGE mistake! The annual site fee is hefty compared to other campgrounds, but we figured it was worth it as our girls love it so much. The owner does the bare minimum to maintain the place. The price went up $ 100 from the previous year and we were given no notice as to the increase, yet if we decided not to return we would have lost our deposit since we had already committed to another season. Not a great way of doing business in my opinion. We wanted to switch seasonal sites as our site was mostly gravel and dirt which isn’t ideal with two kids and a dog and a nicer lot came up for the same seasonal price. We were told it would be $ 300 to switch sites. Say what?!? We are out of here after this season is up!

It was pretty dirty and the stuff they sold in there store was awful and disgusting. The food looked like it had been sitting there for years. It has a lot of potential but they don’t even try to make it as good as it could be. Bathrooms look like they’re never cleaned. They’re game rooms change machine doesn’t work then when you ask the desk for change they have very little and could care less. So they’re arcade room is literally a waste of money for them which shows how lazy they are. My younger family members couldn’t play the games so they were upset. The campsites are on top of each other and they’re customer service is pretty bad. We had a good time only because it’s still the outdoors and it’s nice to get away. I only went once and I didn’t get to see there cabins or anything like that so it may be better than what I had experienced.

We love this place! I grew up staying here and have always had a good time. It is a very large campground but they won’t let me bring my golf cart because it has a lift kit! So much for the kids to do here! 3 pools! We stayed in a rustic cabin before, it was ok better than a tent! They have a snack shack and pizza you can order if you get tired of grilling out. Quiet time really isn’t quiet but that’s ok with us because we are on vacation and so is everyone else so loosen up and have some fun people! This isn’t your grandma’s campground!

My family and I stayed in a deluxe cabin one of the best we have stayed in I must say! Lots of activities for the kids every hour! Not a lot of people in the pools. Almost every time we went. Everything was great except for the loud parties, dirty bathrooms and dry river! My kids really wanted to fish so we were a bit disappointed! It’s smaller than other Yogis but it has a lot to offer! Not excellent but not horrible either!!!

I agree with other reviews. Place run by teenagers that are not trained. I been going every year including this one. (Long Story. Part of a larger group that likes it here) The bathrooms when it’s busy are gross. We complained about toilets not working, no toilet paper and need for cleaning. They say, OK we will clean them, and yet NO ONE comes. Tip you can speak to the owners who do live in a house at the camp ground. They charge for, extra cars, early set up if you check in before 3pm and everything else they can think of. On the Holloween weekends they check in a million people, grab all your money, and the place is then suppossed to run itself.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. The place is dirty, the campsites are on top of each other, and the resort is run by a bunch of teenagers who don’t really care what goes on. If you have kids, do not visit this place. We had really loud dance music playing two sites down from us until 12:30 in the morning. I called registration to complain 45 minutes after the 11 PM quiet time, and although the said they would check on it, nobody came. Also, the next morning there were people smoking pot in their tent in the late morning, but nobody seemed to care. SO glad my 3 year old and 1.5 year old could get their first contact buzz where Yogi Bear makes personal sightings.
Look, I don’t care if this is a party campsite. If that’s what this place is meant to be, change the name to Weedville Campingsite and go to town. But if your camping resort offers family friendly activities, then make sure your guests understand that and those that don’t, have security remind them. We left a day early and stayed in a hotel one of the nights we had reserved; that’s how bad it was. Don’t come here with kids, unless you want them to hear drunk people vomiting in the bushes at 1 A.M.

This place is a horrible! We made reservations two months prior. When we checked in to registered our party’s cars, our reservations were lost. Garbage was all over our cabin before we even got inside our cabin. They had «yogi» walk around the camp site greeting people, which is great, except the fact he didn’t say hello to our toddler children that were waving him down (yogi made our children cry). «Quiet time» starts at ten but management told us to go to bed or go home at 945. Never again will I bring my family!

Yogi’s are typically a bit spendy. But most places you actually have fun, this place is expensive for what you get.
The pool, campsite, park in general was dirty.
Narrow roads, which is understandable for an older park, but the seasonal sites have their junk right up on the road requiring more skill to park a large TT.
Staff not terribly informed about park layout. How to pull in, etc — for our spot they advised us exactly the wrong way to pull in, it’s their park they should be able tell you the right way to pull in, especially when you ask.
Loud, well past the 11PM quiet hour. Not loud like the people having a good time next to you, but loud like disco party three rows over until past 11pm.
Maintenance needed, pools were nasty — for what you pay, nasty. The scuppers on the pool deck were all broken, perfect size for a little foot to get stuck.
Electrical service, water and sewer were what you’d expect, no problems there. Looked newer.
Pool dirty, did I say that?
Fire pit not cleaned, filled with last tenants garbage, went to ranger station to complain and they didn’t come remedy, we cleaned up baby diapers and fly covered food before we could have a campfire.
We cancelled our return trip with friends, and will camp elsewhere.
On a positive note, we went to Yorkville and they had a great little parade that the kids loved.

This place is AMAZING for families! My sister and I stayed in a «deluxe cabin» with our kids and everyone had a BLAST! I highly recommend it. We can’t wait to return.
The staff were incredibly helpful, patient, friendly, and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great time.
There are tons of activities to keep kids happy. Our kids range from 4 – 11.
The Deluxe Cabin is well worth the $$. We all slept very comfortably and the air conditioning came in handy!
If you have a bunch of kids, this is a great place to go. They’ll love it! We sure did.

I must issue all of you single folk a warning. If you do not have a family with kids DO NOT GO HERE!
I am not a rowdy guy at all. I am usually somewhat early to bed and somewhat early to rise. I don’t associate with obnoxious, rude people either. All of my close friends are respectable and considerate towards other people.
We got a primitive campsite for the weekend, and were off of the beaten path from the bulk of the campsites. The rules stated that after 10:00 pm the quiet hours began. Right at 9:45 we shut off the radio. Starting immediately at 10:00 the harassment began. «Ranger Rick» came by immediately. He reminded us of the rules once again and also restated the fact that they could ask us to leave if needed. Ummmm. Listen buddy… We know the rules… We shut our radio off… We will be quiet. Why do you find it that you have to single us out when we were not being loud, no one has complained, etc… «Ranger Rick» went on his merry way and decided to come back every 20 minutes to make sure «everything was OK»
Buddy get off of our backs. Just because we are drinking beers around the fire doesn’t mean we are going to turn into vandals, harass other campers, or keep people awake, You know what? No one complained about us. Other groups were being much louder than we were. Why were we singled out?
Another note: If you do decide to go here, please get directions and study them thoroughly. If you do not know the area, you will not be able to find this place without detailed directions. Luckily I used to live out there so I was able to direct everyone in our party. You make one wrong turn and you cold be driving hours in the wrong direction and get yourself horribly lost.
