Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Natural Bridge

I have been going to yogi bear campsites since I was a toddler in NY. I love the natural bridge campsite. The James river is everything. We stayed in a cabin in 2025 and it was very spacious. 4 adults and a 2 year old plus my dog. Would definitely recommend coming to any yogi bear campsite. But this one is beautiful.

Jellystone Natural Bridge is absolutely the nicest Glampground around! The groundskeepers are the hardest working group of people I have ever seen! Hats off to the new management! The office folks checking campers in and out are very professional and extremely friendly! It was a pleasure meeting Julie and the rest of the staff! Loved seeing Yogi and Boo-Boo!! Tie dying shirts with my grandsons. What a wonderful adventure!!

**Hey, it's your favorite glamper counselor! 🏕️✨**

Jellystone Park Natural Bridge is one of those campgrounds that just feels magical, especially if you can snag one of the RV sites along the river. Waking up, walking out your door, and having the river basically in your backyard was easily my favorite part of the trip.

We stayed in our RV, so I can't speak on the cabins, but our site was great. We also rented a golf cart, and I'd definitely recommend it because the campground is big enough that it's nice to cruise around and explore.

The staff was friendly and made check-in a breeze. The campground itself was beautiful, clean, and had plenty to keep families busy.

My kids are older now, so I'm not sure we'd personally pay Jellystone prices at this stage of life since we don't use all the kid-focused activities anymore. But if you have younger kids? I absolutely think it's worth it. It's the kind of campground where they'll stay entertained while you get to relax a little (or at least pretend to 😉).

Overall, we'd definitely come back, and I'd recommend it to any family looking for a fun camping trip in a beautiful setting. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Edit to Add: the campground manager stopped by to talk to me about my review. She said the pet fee is solely for the cabins, and does not apply to RV/tent sites. She also said that they have no intention of charging for mini golf in the future (we shall see about that), and that the buddy sites do not cost more. She said that people kept asking why they were parked backwards on those sites, so they changed the name.

Jellystone Natural Bridge has changed a lot recently, and the changes so far are NOT for the better.

We made online reservations last year, and they claimed we did not pay a site lock fee (Actually, I did). So they gave away our river front site to someone else. I'm not entirely upset about it, though, as they paved about 15 new sites in between the loop and the river since the last time we were here. So it would NOT have been a pleasant camping experience, squashed in like sardines.

They also are now making you pay $50 PER PET to bring a pet with you. I have never heard of a campground charging for pets.

Amenities that have historically been included in the camping experience are going to be charged for soon, including the on-site mini golf. Today they acted like we were criminals for asking for golf balls to play the course.

It is clear that the new management is focused on revenue generation instead of the guest experience.

My husband, my 3 kids and I had a wonderful time . Tons for the kids to do , nice and quiet, and everyone is really friendly . We camped in a tent and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend renting a golf cart as some things are a decent walk. Some of the activities you do have to pay for so definitely expect that. Bathrooms are very clean as well as the laundry area as well. Cell phone service isn’t the best and the internet cuts out a lot as well. Not a big deal as we weren’t there to play on our phones. DG market down the road and Walmart 30 minutes away which isn’t bad . We truly had a great time and will be back again .
