We made our first trip to Yogi Bear’s Jellystone park this summer, and it most certainly won’t be our last! We made our reservations last minute after another trip got canceled due to weather, and we were thrilled to find that there were spaces available for us.

Our arrival was really easy, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We found our campsite easily, and were able to quickly get set up. We really liked that even though it was a tent site, we still had water and power right there. And, the bathrooms were fairly close and an easy walk. The only downsides to our location was that: we could only have one car at the site, which was a little tricky since there were 2 families, but we made it work. And, there weren’t a lot of trees in our area so it didn’t feel very private. However, I did see other sites on the property that looked more private that we would get next time.

The entire property itself is really well maintained, and we were blown away by all of the amenities. The bathrooms where we were staying were the cleanest campground bathrooms I had ever seen, and the water was so warm!

The kids had an absolute blast playing at the various playgrounds, the jumping pillow, and of course the water park. Our kids ranged in age from (almost)2-9 and all of them had plenty to do no matter where we were.

The whole property was flat and very walkable as well. Nothing seemed too far away and we never felt bummed to not have a golf cart.

Overall, we had an amazing first trip, and have been planning several trips for next summer as well.

This is a perfect spot for a mixed group since there are so many different types of accommodations (tent, camp trailer, cabin), and everything is spread out enough to make you feel like you have your own space.
