Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park

Last day here we loved it here clean and nice staff. We were right across from the park and pools which was awesome. Plenty of space between sites and it was nice that the hook ups weren’t right across where we sat. They staggered the sites so the hook ups where in the middle and were away from the entrance doors and picnic tables.
It’s big so if you’re in the back bring bikes or rent a golf cart. The blow up slides were awesome my son had a great time… we had a great time we’ll make this a yearly trip for sure.

My family is finishing up our first year as a seasonal camper. This review will explain why we became seasonals.
Last year, we came here to camp twice after driving by. We live about 45 minutes away. We had such an awesome spot that we asked for the same one again for the second time. (We wish that area was a seasonal area.). We didn’t participate in many of the activities, but there is always something going on.
Besides having the train rides, pool, kiddie pool, pool w/​3 slides, bikes, hey hey rides, etc, they have a theme weekend every weekend for everyone to participate… if they choose to. They have more activities Memorial Day through Labor Day, but they don’t stop. My kids’ favorite new activity is Candy Bar Bingo.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful. If there is ever an issue, they’re there. If you need help, they’re there. A couple of weeks ago, I was getting the awning out and the owner, Don, helped. I told him he didn’t have to, but he wanted to. You’ll find the owners and managers readily available.
Looking at the prices, most people, as I did, think it’s a little spendy. But, I know that it is worth it. The people are a big part of it, but I can say that they put the money back into the campground.
I also want to add that the campground had some weather related issues early this season with snow in May and flooding the week before Memorial Day. They had great communication with everyone as to how our areas were effected. They cleaned up quickly and recovered. A lot of the seasonal a came in to help.

My family and I JUST finished a quick weekend camping trip to the newly (fairly new) minted Jellystone Park Campground — formerly the BEAVER TRAILS Campground. Lets do the CONS first — fairly packed in — no kidding, they stack campers close enough that the awnings almost seem to touch the backside of the camper next to it (*the neighbors large white dog KEPT coming round’ the rear of our camper on his line to see what was what). Anyhow, I’m not a big fan of trailers being so tight, so I’m not sure we’ll be back again — who knows… the kids really enjoyed themselves. NOW, the PROS — Very clean, very well maintained large campground with LOTS of things to do AND attention to the service aspect of camping. First, my wife left a message @ their reservation desk and asked if they would call back when they opened — the rep called back that night after 6:30 and helped finish the reservation (they closed at 6). Yeah, I know it’s not like the discovery of a new ice cream flavor, but it’s GOOD customer service — and I think we can all agree that we need MORE of that these days. Ok, I digress… we show up, it’s clean looking the front gate is staffed with friendly and helpful staff. They lead you to your campsite (we have a 30ft travel trailer) on a golf cart so there’s NO confusion — like when you arrive at OTHER campgrounds and you get the hand-​drawn-​circle-​map with that stupid highlighter smear on where you’re SUPPOSED to go (followed by a vague wave). The owner — DON — even help us park our camper ! He’s a friendly fella’ from Texas who actually TAKES PRIDE in his campground ! (*as he say’s «Im not finished here»). He just bought the place a few years back and has been making improvements ever since. He is quick to help while showing people around his ongoing project of improvement and customer service. TOO MANY activities to list here, the pool is smaller and a bit older but decent with an attached 3-​tube water slide. LOTS AND LOTS of stuff for both kids & adults to do and Austin MN is about 7 miles West on I-​90 if you forget a toothbrush (*they HAVE a WELL stocked «Ranger Station» with 20+ flavors of Ice Cream and tons of other cool stuff). There’s a plethora (hey I actually used that in a sentence) of stuff on their website so check it out. The restrooms are called «Comfort Stations» and they seem well maintained and… well…comfortable (genius me) Look, they only reason I gave this place only 3 stars was the tight-​fit. Try it yourself, pick 2 days and give it a shot. Happy Camping and ask for «DON» when you get there ! (no, I don’t work for these guys and I’m not a seasonal camper — just like to tell people about GOOD SERVICE when I run into it).
