Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Gardiner NY

We had an amazing Halloween weekend at Camp Jellystone in Gardiner NY. From booking to checkout, every staff member we spoke to or enjoyed was friendly and professional. A lot of the activities staff are teenagers and they were polite, helpful and respectful. The cabins were spacious and spotless. We stayed in a two bedroom cabin with loft. The kids loved the sleeping loft! The kitchen and bathroom turned camping into glamping! The amenities and activities were fun and plentiful. Lots of Halloween fun. We will definitely be back in the summer to check out the lazy river and water park area. I highly recommend this campground.

Was disappointed that there was no trick or treating for the kids on the actual Halloween night, had it the following night after Halloween? Ceramics were high price to only get to the work area to paint and there was a small on variety of paint colors, no Black or White two Main colors. Only two sizes of paint brushes so it was very hard to really do a good job. I will say we enjoyed the Haunted Trail, excellent job by all who were involved. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our spot by the water with our trailer was also very nice and spacious!

This is our 6th year going to Jellystone. We camp on their premium sites by the river and pay the price for it. This year the lack of facilities maintenance was horrendous. Yes I have my own bathroom and shower, but I usually use the bathrooms at the park when the whole family is in the camper. This year the bathrooms, both ladies and men's were disgusting. It seemed like they never came around to clean them. We went up to the office to complain and all they said was you have to contact corporate and make a complaint. What kind of bullshit is that? Is there nobody at the park that "manages" the park and its staff. It's a shame because we really have enjoyed going there, but with what you pay, clean bathroom facilities should be a given.

Our stay at Jellystone Campground—affectionately known as “Yogi Bear” in our family—was truly wonderful. The cabin, situated conveniently next to the pavilion, was spotless, and the bathrooms and showers sparkled with cleanliness. We had a fantastic time enjoying the water park, the bouncing pillow, mini-golf, and all the other fun activities.

One of the most memorable moments from our visit this summer was when I lost my phone. I asked a staff member on his golf cart if he could call my number while I searched. Not only did he immediately get down to help, but when other staff members passed by, they also joined in without hesitation. They all helped until my phone was found, making us feel like part of the Jellystone family.

My whole family absolutely loves Jellystone, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit to our favorite campground!

My family had a great vacation! Honestly this camp resort exceeded our expectations! Whether we were enjoying the waterpark, doing all the daily activities they have for kids or just relaxing by the camp fire, good times were had by all! The pet friendly cabin we had was perfect for the whole family including our dog. The views of the mountains were absolutely stunning! We will definitely be back!
