Jellystone Park™ Mill Run

We love this campground! We've gone there 5 summers total and had so much fun every time! From the monster truck rides to the mini golf everything is so fun.

We had a wonderful camping trip to Mill Run, Pa. We stayed at Yogi Bears Jellystone Campground. Although it was off season and the middle of the week there were quite a few campers. This campground is beautiful, clean and has large easily accessible sites. The camp staff were helpful and the camp store was well stocked. We will definitely return again.

Deluxe Tent Site (613) - Some amenities were nice. We enjoyed the water slides, mini golf, dog park, and the pancakes and bacon were good. Firewood delivery was quick and when we reported an issue with the golf cart, it was fixed fast.

The negatives outweighed all of that. The tent sites are crammed together on a slope with stumps everywhere, no bathroom nearby, and a dangerously steep hill to get to the sites.

The worst part was the lack of security and enforcement. Quiet hours are advertised as “11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Strictly Enforced.” Nothing was enforced. Our neighbors blasted talk radio until 3 a.m., filled the air with weed and cigarette smoke, swore constantly, hit their kids and dogs, left garbage all over, set a phone alarm off every five minutes starting at 5 a.m. and it continued to go on for hours, and left their dog unattended to bark for hours. I called the office several times and staff only sent a maintenance worker who asked if I knew where they were. When we pressed further, staff admitted, “oh yeah, we always have issues down there,” but still did nothing.

Our neighbors at site 614 left early for the same reasons and so did we. We will not be back.

We recently stayed at Jellystone and had high hopes given the great amenities—and in that regard, the park delivered. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and offered plenty of activities for families.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was overshadowed by the lack of peace and quiet. The constant noise from fire trucks and golf carts made it difficult to relax at our campsite. Our neighboring campers, who were older adults, were clearly on a loud and drunken bender. While things finally settled down around 11:30 PM, the noise picked up again around 2 AM, forcing us to call security.
We came to Jellystone expecting a peaceful, enjoyable camping trip, but instead found it hard to unwind. While the amenities are excellent, the noise and rowdy atmosphere made this a less-than-pleasant stay. I hope the park can take steps to improve the quiet hours and enforce them better for future guests.

Pros: nice clean amenities. The pools were good temperature in early August. The water slides are really fast! The food was delicious. The ice cream was great too. The cabins were nice and air conditioned. 6 of us stayed 1 night in a park ranger cabin which was fine (but I don’t think we could spend more than 2 nights there because of how cramped it was)
Cons: the biggest con was the staff. It seemed like everyone that worked there was miserable and that we were being an inconvenience asking them for anything. Even right away at the check in gate the girl was so miserable. There were 2/15 staff that we encountered that were nice.
Almost everything was extra money. It is already expensive to stay there and then when you add everything on top of it that you have to pay for it got pricey really quick. The kids like the outdoor movie but the screen was small and the volume was really low it was hard to hear.

Advice: get a golf cart, even though they are pricey $80 for one day. - if you are making multiple trips to the lower pool the hill is very steep and you aren’t allowed to take bikes down it. Be advised you are only allowed 4 people on a golf cart. You can show up earlier than what check in is, you just can’t go to your cabin. We wish we would’ve known this because we could’ve spent more time here. You also are allowed to bring your own wood in- if not you have to pay for wood and it is $7 a bundle
Overall, it was a fun one time trip but not sure if we will be back! Also our kids were 11 and 16 and had a good time.
