Welcome to Yogi Bear's™ Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. The Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area is full of great tourist destinations and fun things to do. You can spend your days go karting, zip lining, watching a comdey show, and visiting the Great Smoky Mountains National park or a theme park. In fact, we're only 1 mile away from Dollywood and Dollywood Splash Country.
When you're ready to take a break from all the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg action, you can come to Jellystone Park, hang out with Yogi Bear™, and spend time swimming in our two pools or fishing in our pond.
At the Pigeon Forge Jellystone Park location, you can stay in luxury cabins, glamping tents, or premium RV sites.

Good price but that’s about it. The sites are tight and nothing special. The staff is not friendly or welcoming. We wanted to extend just one night and they made absolutely no effort to accommodate us or just help us out and told us they were completely booked. When we asked again they said they didn’t have sites that would accommodate our size rig. We saw over 20 empty sites that would fit us easily. Will probably check out another campground out when we come back next year.
On the positive side the Campground is in a great location and the bathhouse was always nice and clean. The staff was very friendly also.
Negative side…. I’ve stayed at Yogi bear campgrounds other places, usually they have lots of activities for kids not so much at this one. The camp sites are extremely too close to each other for one and too short to accommodate a camper and truck, leaving everyone parking kind of in the street and the road barely big enough to pass in some areas. My site (77), when stepping out the camper you almost twist an ankle because of the extra drop next to the slab, my steps came down right on the edge of the slab, they really need to add some gravel next to this slab.
This was the most disappointing campground we have ever been to. When you see Yogi Bear you would think there would be a standard. The road through was narrow and winding. Our camper barely fit and definitely no room for our truck. My husband was climbing over bushes to try to hook up. Every site is narrow and every site vehicles are out in the road. From economy sites to premium all look the same. Photos online definitely do not look like the campground. If you have a very small camper you might fit but we were backed with only 3" from the hill behind us still no room for our truck. Water pressure was weak and our site did not have cable. To say we were extremely disappointed is the nicest thing I could say. Do not book this campground. The staff stressed the office was closing at 12pm for the holiday and would address our concerns the following day. We called around and luckily found another campground with an open site...we packed up and left!
We stayed in the campground area site number 34 and we really liked the area we were in. The bathrooms were always clean and the campground was clean also. We arrived Oct 28 to stay for 7 days. The campground had trick or treat, we were prepared to hand out candy. Location is great your back in the woods, campground was pretty much full house when we arrived cleared out a bit Sunday. We had our own little corner to ourselves and friends stayed in boo boo cabin and it was super cute! Would definitely stay here again!
THIS PLACE IS SMALL! People were having to ask others to move vehicles just to get campers out to leave. Dogs wander around and poop in your spot happened twice. Check in was easy and they were very nice. Our spot was supposed to have gravel and it was only dirt with a tiny bit of gravel. The spaces are just too close together to actually enjoy yourself. There were 6 bathrooms close to us and a line most mornings so keep that in mind. We probably won't stay again.
EDIT: We stayed again but in a standard spot and paid the lock fee, and it was much better. I'd suggest you not stay in economy if you want a good spot. I also updated the star rating. I do feel lock fees are ridiculous though at $100.
