Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Golden Valley

Beautiful scenery, well taken care of park, lots of amenities, kids were over the moon! The only complaint I have is since the park is massive in size and on sloping hills you can't easily walk to everything. There is limited vehicle parking at each amenity site and the parking that is available for vehicles is stolen by golf carts despite separate golf cart parking. No one monitors or manages this so you are essentially forced to rent golf carts to make stay manageable.

Very friendly staff and clean. Bath houses are cleaned multiple times a day. Water park area is wonderful for all ages. My 16 month old granddaughter loved the splash pad and the water was never too deep for her to walk and feel safe in. She truly loved it! Also a shout out to the Thomas family for their dedication to making the park a wonderful experience. Michael Thomas, Brandy Thomas, Morgan Thomas and Michaela Collins. Thank you all for a great time!

Compared to other yogi locations… we were highly disappointed. There was absolutely zero staff involvement. We seen numerous underage children driving golf carts around with no security or staff addressing it, when rules specifically stated it was prohibited. Online clearly states no outside golf carts or electric scooters, yet we constantly saw adults/children driving their own golf carts and electric scooters. Candy bar bingo the speaker rushed & called numbers so fast & we couldn’t even hear her. One of the jumping pillows was deflated the entire time. I originally booked & paid for two dogs, however only one dog came on the trip with us and they would not refund me, only offered me a camp credit. The cabin was full of ants and gnats.
The entire campsite was fairly bare & not nearly as busy as expected. At the whibit on the lake, kids were standing on top of the dome part, squishing other children underneath, and there was no lifeguards or staff on watch- I literally had to go ask one of the staff members to ask the teenagers to get off of the top part (where they should NOT BE JUMPING) because they were smashing small children. Overall, this proves that bigger is not always better, and we prefer our smaller Asheboro Jellystone anytime. Especially due to better staff engagement.

Our family had such a great time! There is so much to do. My only complaint is that there weren’t enough golf carts for us to rent one unfortunately and the camp site is not car friendly as far as parking… BUT they offer a tram service (shoutout to Tiffany for offering an early ride before the tram hours even started). We will definitely make another trip here!

We had an absolute blast here! As a family of six, with four 4yrs and under we were a bit nervous about the setup and activities but the cabin had plenty of room for all of us and the amenities were great. The cabin was super tidy, as well as the park in general. Left one star off for location as I wish there was better signage throughout the park!
Tara & Candice were a massive help as my husband left his wallet behind in our cabin - they reached out immediately once it was discovered and provided excellent service. Definitely coming back next year!
