Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Daddy Joe's

Updated review at the end: Very friendly staff, well-spaced sites, good location—BUT… CHECK WHAT AMENITIES ARE AVAILABLE DURING YOUR STAY. We chose Jellystone Campground for our kids’ spring break, expecting a fun-filled week with them and their cousin. The park advertises a variety of amenities, which was the main draw for us, making the seven-hour drive seem worthwhile. However, what wasn’t clear when booking was that nearly all of those amenities would be closed since it was not peak season. The park’s app provides operating hours, but that’s only helpful once you’re already there. During our stay, the only amenity consistently open during the week was the indoor pool. The rec center, mini-golf, general store, and creamery had weekend hours, but were unavailable most of the time. The Pic-a-nic basket was closed for the season. Fortunately, there is a grocery store a short drive away, which helped make up for the closed general store (self-serve ice machine was broken). Throughout the week, we saw not just our own kids but many others wandering around, visibly bored. It was clear their experience wasn’t what they had been expecting. I’m sure this place is great in the summer, but in the spring, it’s much quieter. While the campground itself is nice, if you’re not visiting during peak season, I’d strongly recommend calling ahead to confirm what’s actually open. Update: I want to emphasize how friendly and accommodating the staff was. They personally checked in to see how they could improve our stay and followed through on their efforts. They also cleared up some incorrect information we initially received from another staff member earlier in the week. While I still recommend calling ahead before booking during off-peak times, I truly appreciate the staff’s dedication to guest satisfaction. Knowing what we do now, we may consider returning in the summer to experience everything the campground has to offer.

We had the best stay! Staff is so friendly and the park is beautiful! We were lucky enough to get the snowbird rate. The laundry and bath houses were clean. Went to Myrtle beach a few times. Can’t say enough nice things about it but we want to come back every year

Very well maintained campground with a friendly staff! This is a great park for families, they have kids activities throughout the day. Tons of fishing ponds. Reasonably priced camp store and creamery (fantastic homemade ice cream). It was a great place to spend a relaxing weekend not having to leave the campground looking for things to do. If I had one complaint, it would be how cold the indoor pool was. I guess we assumed it would have been somewhat heated for those rainy unseasonably colder days...but it was freezing! Still a great campground, just don't assume you will always be able to use the indoor pool regardless of the weather. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutely repulsed that they charged us $200 a night with a 2 night minimum only for EVERYTHING to be closed exct the indoor pool and miniature golf but there were no balls. They need to be clear on the site that all activities, food and general store will not be open until summer.

Always a great time. Been coming here for years. They do Halloween up right. Quads are definitely a big hit when camping in groups. Wish each quad had a little more shade but in time... Pool was listed as heated. Only thing heating that pool was the sun. Challenging putt putt course and awesome Creamery. I'm not a coffee drinker but from those ordering it seemed pleased. The volleyball court would get more use if it was moved to where the jump pad is. Food Lion Grocery store is nearby in case you forget something. Across the street from Food Lion is a Dollar Tree/Family Dollar Combo store.
