Ten stars! Twenty stars! All the stars for this Jellystone Park. I'm not even exaggerating -- this…read moreplace is great. First of all, you have to understand one thing about me: I hate camping. Like, seriously, camping just sucks. But here, at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Lake Monroe, I actually kind of enjoy camping a tiny bit, because of these reasons: 1. They offer cabins! And they're super clean! And they come with full refrigerators, and TVs with cable, and full bathrooms with showers inside. And screened porches where you can relax on a summer's evening without having to worry about swatting away mosquitos. 2. They offer a full day's worth of activities for the whole family. When you check in, they give you a long paper that they've printed that lists all the fun they've planned for the time period that you're staying, broken down by the hour. So you can choose to participate in any number of family-friendly activities, like water balloon races, or bubble activities, or crafts, or water gun things. Every morning, you can meet up with Cindy Bear and do some stretches and say the pledge of allegiance. Kids love this stuff! This campground really caters to kids and families. Also, there are dozens of high school- and college-aged kids who work there who are constantly supervising and will start up random games of Simon Says or Red Light, Green Light with kids. 3. Besides the planned activities, this place has an amazing splashground and two pools. The splashground is like a splash pad and water park rolled into one: there are slides, bubblers, sprinklers and the like, with beach chairs around the water area. Next to the splashground is the playground and sandbox, which is where my kids spent a lot of time playing. 4. There's lots of other stuff to do, like hiking (we found lots of geodes!), or you can rent a go cart or golf cart and drive around, or play volleyball or basketball, or jump on the Jump Pillow, or mine for fossils, or play a board game in the recreation room, or get a scoop of ice cream at the Ranger Center. There is seriously so much to do here. I should also note that the people who work here are so friendly and will bend over backward to accommodate you. They are also super chill and totally used to kids being kids, so we felt completely comfortable during our whole stay. I can't say enough positive things about Jellystone Park. We had such a great experience, especially my kids, which is why I suffer through things like camping in the first place. We will definitely be back!

Our favorite state park in Indiana. My friends and I camp here for a four day weekend at least…read moreonce a year, and sometimes visit for just a day hiking trip and picnic. The campgrounds are excellent, especially Taylor Ridge. But be aware that you need to make reservations ahead of time, especially if you are planning a fall camping trip. Campsites sell out early. Shower rooms are decent, not wonderful. But satisfactory for a campground. Quiet hours are strictly observed, and the park rangers will pay a visit to your campsite if you aren't quiet after 10:00 pm Once we received a visit from a friendly park ranger when we were playing cards around 11 pm. We hadn't realized that we were being noisy at all but the ranger advised us that sound carries throughout the campground. Hiking trails range from easy to moderate. Trail maps are available are the trails are well marked. You will likely see deer and raccoons when hiking the trails. Some members of our group enjoy mountain biking too.

Brown county is a must go spot for Fall and beware everyone goes there for Fall! Last weekend was…read morevery crowded taking about 30 minutes just to cross the entrance. Past the crowd, the views were everything! It was eye candy and so worth the traffic, wait time and people. The park itself is very huge and has a couple entrance points and is well maintained. We hiked the Straul Lake hike and it's an easy 1 mile hike which had exceptional views- I just couldn't stop looking! The lookout points are another easy way to stop and click pictures, enjoy the views and just relax. Beware that internet depending on your provider can be hard to find. All in all brown county is a name for a reason. So worth the hype!

Great park for hiking - lots of trails to choose from with varying difficulty. We picked Trail 3 on…read moreour last one, which goes right up the creek -- the trail is literally the creek, not next to it. A little confusing as it just kind of dumps out into the creek and you just keep walking until you find the trailhead again, but a really fun and scenic hike for the whole family, and you don't have to get wet if you don't want to. (At least with the water levels where they were on our visit -- may not be true after rainy days.) We had done Trail 5 previously, which is a fun one but no water. The kids were a little too scared of Wolf Cave, but it was a pretty hike nonetheless. Much preferred Trail 3 though.

If you are looking to get away from it all, go to a larger park. On both of our hikes, we could…read morehear nearby freeway traffic the entire time. There was also lawnmower noise from the park itself and diesel exhaust from the parks vehicles. I understand employees have to do trail maintenance, but electric vehicles should be used. It was noisier in this park than in my backyard. We went into the Inn to cool down for a bit and the ice machine in the lobby sounded like a Mac truck. There was no indication that the inn has exhibits or a wildlife observation room, so we missed that. When we entered the park, we asked the gate keeper which trails were the most scenic. We were directed to the waterfall and the fire watchtower. The water fall is all of ten feet. We climbed all 106 steps to the top of the fire watchtower only to discover that there is no view from the top. All you can see are the trees a few feet in front of you. The entire experience was underwhelming.

Wow! I cannot wait to visit Brown County again and stay at Virginia's Garden. This place is just…read morethe right size for a couple to stay and enjoy a few days in Nashville. The owner was very friendly, and everything was clean and well kept. The front garden and table would be a great place to hang out on a nice day. The living room has a coffee/tea station, an ice bucket, and glasses for wine, complimentary cookies, a couple wicker chairs, a couch, movies, and a TV. The couch and TV situation could be better for relaxing. The TV was a bit small or a bit too far away, but this is a little detail. To the right of the entrance and up a couple stairs is the bedroom with a queen bed, side table, and bench to put your things. There is a door in the bedroom that leads to the house through a closet, but it is kept locked when visitors are there and only used to easily access the apartment to clean. The bathroom was a major highlight to Virginia's Garden. It's bigger than you would expect! To the right is a microwave and small refrigerator with an opening below that perfectly fit the small cooler I brought. There is a nice sink area and shower. Walking past these is a large clawfoot bathtub, pedestal sink, toilet, chair, and a table with bath salts which I found useful after long days of walking! This place is perfect, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting!

The beds were incredibly soft and comfortable, and having TVs in each room made the kids especially happy. The cottage itself is charming and quaint, yet conveniently located just a short drive from town. We enjoyed spending time at the fishing pond (even though we didn't catch anything!), and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind in the evenings. Watching the stars while soaking was such a peaceful experience. We only wish we had booked an extra night. On our last morning, my husband spotted a doe and her fawn in the side yard, which was such a special treat. Communication with Jim and Jan was excellent -- they were responsive and readily available if we had needed anything.
