Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: PA Wilds

What a great weekend. It rained and it was wet but there was still plenty to do. My kids loved the slip and slide and gel blaster game. The staff was amazing and very accommodating: Seasonal campers were all very friendly also. We had one small issue and it was addressed immediately . Appeared clean and thankfully the mud was minimal at our camp site. The bounce pillows were not open but it was raining and wet and I imagine it’s policy not to have them open when raining. We haven’t been since Bucktail, it is different but we had a great time. We booked again for the 4th of July along with some other members of my family.

We were scheduled to stay this memorial day and canceled due to weather. We had other family that decided to go just to relax. We drove there yesterday to visit and check it out, they did give us credit to use for a future stay. I’m glad we went to see it, we will not be going back. I heard great things about this place back when it was Bucktail years ago. Permanent sites were trashy, grass was 8”+ tall, electrical service connects were falling over at quite a few sites, sites lacking any stones where you pull into sites all rutted up and really muddy ( I know it rained) but some stones at the sites would go a long way. My family’s neighbors were drunk at 3pm yelling and screaming, had there music turned up so loud that you couldn’t even sit inside and talk. The staff was non existent, I just drove in with no one checking you in. Just trash everywhere, actually felt relieved driving away, not a feeling you want from a vacation spot. I’ve stayed at probably over 50 different campgrounds, and I would have to say this was the worst and I didn’t even stay!! Needs better staff, clean it up, take some care of the grounds, I honestly can’t see people returning here, Jellystone needs to really evaluate this campground, it definitely doesn’t compare to other campgrounds they franchise. Wish I could use my credit at a different jellystone location.

We stayed in site 71 in a Class C motorhome for 3 nights. Very clean restrooms and showers. Very clean and manicured grounds. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The schedules activities were very punctual and great for families. Everyone was having a great time. The entrance road needs work. A little rough.
The site we were in was extremely un-level. It appeared that many of them need to be leveled out again.

The people were very friendly and helpful .The other park residents were also friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay a lot. The rooms do need a little attention but we found them clean and tidy. The outside was kept very nice and neat. The attractions were and peacefulness of the park was a big draw. If your looking for a peaceful retreat this is the place. They have different fun activities throughout the day to keep you busy. Looking forward to next year. Maybe the same yogi park or one of their other parks.
Would definitely recommend.

We were very disappointed with our stay at Jellystone Park PA Wilds. Unfortunately, the overall condition and experience did not justify the cost.
One of our cabins had an ant infestation, which made it uncomfortable to relax. Throughout the campground, trash cans had strong odor because they were not being emptied regularly. The playground areas were also overgrown and did not appear to be well maintained.
One of the activities we paid extra for was tie-dye, but the dye was so watered down that the finished shirts came out extremely faded. It was frustrating to spend money on an activity that produced such poor results.
There were also very limited activities available during our stay, and once again, the train was not operating. This is the second year in a row that we've visited and found the train out of service, which was especially disappointing since it's one of the attractions families look forward to.
What made this experience even more disappointing is that we invited additional families to join us this year because we had spoken positively about the campground based on previous visits. We recommended Jellystone Park PA Wilds expecting everyone to have a fun family experience, and instead we were embarrassed that the conditions and lack of amenities fell so far short of expectations.
Overall, the park seems to be lacking in maintenance, cleanliness, and quality of activities. We expected much more for the price and left feeling disappointed. We hope management takes these concerns seriously, addresses these ongoing issues, and invests in improving the guest experience for future visitors.
