Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Barton Lake

Decent campground. Lots of activities. Very friendly staff. Clean. Activity and rental prices are very high.

Very family friendly. Lots of activities on the campus and calendar for everyone. Several swimming pools and water park slides and splash areas including an indoor salt water pool. Fishing. Bingo. Foam party. Neat little arcade. Ice cream shop (but local Scoops gives much bigger portions). Golf cart rentals. Kayak canoe paddle boat and board rentals.

Great area for walking.

Cabana rentals are very expensive as are other rentals.

Local road noise is high along one area of the campground. Needs a tall evergreen bushes barrier badly.

E bikes and scooters are not permitted but the scooters are everywhere.

Website says Cabana can be rented an hour before pool opens but staff said no.

No water filters so bring your own if it's important to you.

They could use more shade trees and shady sitting areas. They are all taken up by campgrounds. Our cabin had no shady areas to sit. So we were stuck inside because it was in the low 90s.

As expected the campground was very crowded during 4th of July weekend but some nice shaded quiet open areas to sit would have been appreciated.

Most of the campsites were designed for the much smaller campers of the past. Today's modern campers are huge and it's very tight. Especially with the much larger trucks now too.

We have been coming to Yogi for years, and every year it gets better and better. Every staff member we’ve encountered has been wonderful, we’ve never had a bad experience. The staff who drive around the park are always so friendly and helpful.

Rob does an amazing job running laser tag. He makes it so much fun for everyone, including the adults! I have personally witnessed Rob going above and beyond to help others. He is always smiling and waving whenever we pass by.

If you’ve never been to Jellystone Barton Lake, you’re missing out! This place is amazing no matter your age. Thank you, Jellystone, for making our family’s experiences so memorable year after year!

10/10 recommend

We had an amazing stay at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Barton Lake! The campground was clean, well-maintained, and there were so many fun activities for the whole family. The staff was friendly, and everything was organized, making our trip relaxing and enjoyable.

A special thank you to Brandi for her outstanding customer service. Her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help truly made our experience even better. Employees like Brandi are the reason we'll be coming back.

We highly recommend Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Barton Lake and can't wait for our next visit!

We have been going to Yogi, Barton Lake since 1987. We would tent on the hill, this was before any cabins or concrete slabs were by the fountain pond and have watched it grow. Each year we schedule a full week with about 10 families. This was also my first year in a cabin. I have been in a tent for 38 years and finally made the move, well worth it! This recent week Peggy stopped at one of the cabin sites and asked us if we liked the bushes that had grown up so high you could not see over them anymore. Needless to say after getting the same cabins for many years Peggy took our opinion to heart and will have the bushes trimmed down and or removed. Next year we will be able to see the pond, playground and bingo area! Along with this, I was thinking about how clean they keep their restrooms. There are constant cleaning carts around the park. I meet Chris and Deb Roach as they were finishing cleaning one of the shower rooms up front and they were so kind and wanted to make sure they finished up the last couple of items to make sure I had a freshly cleaned room to shower in! They were so nice. There was one employee who would wave every time he drove by. Staff is friendly! We will continue to come here as long as they'll have us.

We’ve stayed at this location several times and it’s always a blast! Love the pools, water slides, activities for the kids (and adults!) and the convenience of everything this park has to offer. Notable awesome customer service included Gracie, Olivia, Brisilda and Miss Chris at the ranger station, Toni at the cafe and, Kendall and Amberly at the front desk. They were all so friendly, kind, helpful and smiling! Now, Becky at the front desk was rude. When I came up after checking in and asked a few questions, she answered like I should know the answers and I was an idiot for asking. I also had 6 friends/family members come and buy day passes (on different days) she was short and rude to them too. Not helpful. Not polite. Just seemed overall miserable. I hope her days brighten up because she’s not bringing the A game to front desk.
