Dirty light poles @pkayground

Disappointing Stay at Jellystone Park at Tower Park Jellystone Park at Tower Park in Lodi may once have been a gem of an RV resort, but based on our recent stay, it appears to have suffered from poor management and extensive deferred maintenance. We stayed in both a cabin and a premium back-in RV site, and neither met the standard we expected, especially at roughly $400 per night for the cabin and $250 per night for the RV space, over $1300 for two nights. The cabin was noticeably dirty upon arrival. The window sills had flies, spiders, and cobwebs, and the bathroom did not appear to have been cleaned thoroughly. One of the blinds was broken, and the exterior area around the cabin looked as though it had not been blown or raked recently. The front porch was dusty, dirty, and covered with leaves. The cabin itself had a queen bed, a full bed, and a twin bed. We ordered bedding, but were given one queen set and two twin sets, no full-size bedding for the full bed. That was an avoidable oversight and added to the feeling that the accommodations were not being properly prepared between guests. Our premium back-in RV space was also disappointing. The site was dirty enough that I was glad I had brought my own blower. The electrical box and its light were covered in spider webs, and the surrounding area had clearly not been cleaned in a long time. There were piles of leaves, old water-balloon pieces, broken zip ties, and general debris around the site. Across from our RV spot was a broken bench, with pieces of the bench simply left lying on the ground. Grounds and Activities Need Attention The lack of maintenance was noticeable throughout the park, not just at our cabin and RV site. At the playground, the bark coverage was inadequate to the point that black safety netting was exposed throughout the area. This did not look like bark had merely been displaced by children playing, it looked like there simply has not been enough bark added for quite some time. The light poles were dirty and covered in cobwebs. The grass was extremely dry, poorly manicured, and looked as if it was rarely watered. The landscaping crew needs to improve basic edging, blowing, raking, and overall upkeep. The pavilion, where guests gather and pay for arts-and-crafts activities, was in the same condition. There were leaves and rocks all over the area, making it look neglected. Under The gold-mining apparatus, it also looked as though it had not been cleaned all year. Mini Golf Was Especially Poor The mini-golf course looks like it may once have been a very nice attraction, but it is now badly run down. Around 90% of the holes appeared ripped or torn. The course did not look as though it had been cleaned, blown off, or maintained in a long time. Some of the water features were murky, and the landscaping and walkways around the park showed obvious deferred maintenance. Gravel has shifted away over time, leaving many areas that are now mostly dirt. The putters were also in poor condition: many were broken or subpar. We had seven people playing and struggled to find seven usable putters. Overall Jellystone Park at Tower Park has the bones of what was probably once a five-star RV destination. Unfortunately, the current condition of the cabins, RV spaces, playground, pavilion, mini-golf course, landscaping, and general cleanliness suggests that the property is no longer being cared for at that level. There were also limited food options. The only choices appeared to be the grill and the Picnic Basket food truck, but the Picnic Basket was closed for our entire stay. The lazy river was closed as well. For the price we paid, we expected a clean cabin, a maintained RV space, functional amenities, and grounds that reflected the resort-style experience being advertised. Instead, we found a property in need of significantly better management, housekeeping, landscaping, and maintenance.

Golf carts are the way to go

Awesome for families and groups. We took our 6yo granddaughter and my daughter met us there. They had a blast and we had fun watching them. Granddaughter made fast friends with 3 other girls right around us and burned the midnight oil riding bikes and playing. The water park is fun for the kids. Too crowded and the idea of that many people in the pool wo getting out for hours was yuck for me lol. I opted to cool off in the outdoor shower instead and people watch. If you're a young family or going with a party group this is the place to go. If you're looking to relax and chill in a quieter park-you're probably going to hate it. Just know what it's intended for before you go and you'll enjoy yourself.

We really enjoyed water park and staff was great!! BUT this isn't Glamping! We rented a Cindy bear cabin, bed sounds of plastic all night, You CANNOT sleep in it with husband and a baby!!! it's super tiny bed, sofa couch dented on the frame so it's bad to sleep, you're in incline the whole time so we had to throw mattress on the floor. The patio green chair had some missing wood planks so they sucked to sit on. Anyway They Really need to Update their furniture in them. We bought the VIP passes for our girls and they loved it. Soda cup sucks you have to go all the way to the market to fill it up, it should be right next to the water park, the kids meal it's amazing. Husband and daughter did laser tag and they said it was super fun and mini golf! Staff was truly Great! We got to check in early, and when I was leaving I forgot my water bottle inside cabin and it was brought back to me. ARCADE was soooo hot they didn't have the air conditioner on, but it was super fun. We also dined at the restaurant, you order at the front and sit and they bring it to you. Staff was great at the restaurant too! Food was Great ! Definitely would eat here again! We loved our stay, they just definitely need to update furniture. Also they don't have coffee shop, just like gas station coffee but We found an amazing place 15 mins away called Isleton Coffee company! Omg amazing definitely recommend. Definitely look forward to changing the rating to 5 start when we come back if cabins are better.

This is the deluxe RV site. Not worth their prices! Way better RV places! Ughhh!

Jellystone Park Resort in Lodi, CA, has some issues for RVs. The signage is poor, and the campground entrance is hard to find. This place isn't worth their prices! Paved sites are extra, and the narrow gravel and dirt areas make leveling difficult. We booked "premium RV/tent" the back-in sites are tight, and accessing the fire pit is challenging due to the presence of tents and close neighboring RVs. The picnic tables are rotting and need replacement. Maintenance workers mow the weeds and weed whack the sites at 8 am, which is disruptive given the gravel and dirt conditions. Happy Camper Road near the sites is in poor condition and needs repaving. This weekend, a large block party with loud music, peeps smoking weed, and many people caused overcrowding and conflicts with neighbors close space. The arcade was closed, the water park is overcrowded, and there's no lifeguard on duty. Despite these issues, the grandkids had a blast, and there's a play area, water park, and miniature golf course for entertainment.

We came here recently for a 3-day, 2 night stay during spring break during the week so the water park was closed, but we still had a great time. There weren't a lot of people so that was nice. Our cozy cottage had a kitchen, which I paid extra to have so that things would be easier. I like that it's safe for kids to play outside and roam about. We made the best of it even though the water park was closed. Cabin camping is the way to go for me! We still get the experience without the griminess. lol. The kids spent most of the time in the pool so that worked out. I liked that there is a food truck by the pool since kids like to stay there all day. Overall, we had a great time and would come back again. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The family atmosphere made it worth the trip.

Our family just stayed In the cabins over this last weekend. They were pretty dirty, we cleaned the tables and countertops ourselves and the floors were so filthy to where our white socks ended up black. We rented a cabana by the pool area because there is zero shade at the pools and it was filthy, they don't provide the cushions for the chairs, comes with a Mini fridge that is filthy, spider webs everywhere. You can have all of that for $200. Also pretty far From the actual water areas so you can't even watch your kids play. The onsite food options are pretty expensive so be prepared to empty your pockets. On the brighter side, they have a lot there to entertain your kids but with how filthy and expensive it was, I wouldn't stay there again.

Honest Review - Great Potential, But Some Frustrating Misses (3.5/5) We recently stayed at Jellystone Park in Lodi, CA, and overall I'd give it a 3.5/5. This isn't a bad review -- we had fun, the kids loved it, and I'd probably give it another chance -- but there were enough issues that I think an honest review is fair. First, credit where it's due: the cabins were exactly as described online. Their website does a great job telling you what to expect, including that you need to bring your own linens and toiletries. I'm glad I read everything ahead of time because we packed accordingly. Check-in was smooth. The cabin was decently clean, though when we walked in it smelled like someone had weaponized bleach. I appreciated knowing things were sanitized... unfortunately once that faded, the cabin had a pretty unpleasant smell my kids lovingly described as "urine and rot." We immediately headed to the water park, only to get kicked out of the lazy river after about two rotations because apparently it closes very early. Maybe I missed that online, but I genuinely don't understand why one of the main attractions -- and one of the few things adults can really enjoy -- closes so early while you're paying full resort prices. That kind of set the tone: a lot of confusion. You get handed an information pamphlet, but somehow it answers very little. Some attractions had posted hours, some didn't. Some looked open but weren't. Mini golf? Laser tag? Arcade? It felt like a scavenger hunt trying to figure out what was actually available. I called the front desk asking about the arcade. No answer. Tried checking online, except WiFi wasn't working and cell service was spotty. After calling maintenance, I learned some cabins just don't have WiFi, which would've been nice to know beforehand since that also makes the TV basically useless. Eventually the arcade opened after multiple trips back and forth. Unfortunately it looked pretty rough. Sparse prizes, dead bugs in machines, and one prize chute had a spider fully moved in and thriving. Honestly? Respect. Live your truth, little king. And yes, technically this is camping... but let's be honest -- this is glamping. We came for convenience, the water park, and activities. Unfortunately, the water park itself was rough. Several play structures were broken, the pools were cloudy, there was food floating around, and overall it was pretty clear maintenance is not keeping up. I want to be clear though: I do not blame the staff. In fact, most of the staff were wonderful and seemed like they were doing their best while working with facilities that clearly aren't being maintained properly. Special shoutout to the ice cream employees who were easily the happiest people there and super friendly. The restaurant honestly surprised us in the best way. I ordered a pickle margarita (10/10, no notes). The next day the bartender looked terrified making another because apparently they barely had ingredients left, but she absolutely nailed it. My boyfriend got the steak bowl, I had fish and chips, and both were genuinely great. The market employees were helpful enough, but those prices were painful. Bring your own snacks and essentials unless you enjoy financial suffering. The kids had an amazing time, which honestly matters most. They loved gem mining, gaga ball, and the jumping pillow. By the end of the trip, my boyfriend and I were debating whether we'd return... meanwhile the kids were already planning next summer and asking for a bigger cabin. I'll probably give Jellystone another chance. But management seriously needs to invest back into this park. The staff deserves more support, the facilities need maintenance, and this place has the potential to be an amazing family destination. Right now, though, it feels less like they're building toward that potential... and more like they're slowly letting it fall apart. Fun trip? Yes. Would I come back? Probably. Needs major improvement? Absolutely.

We've been eyeing this place for a few years so happy we finally got to come and it was better than expected! We stayed in the cozy cottage as a family of five + 1 dog. The cabin was just the right size for us. I was very impressed with how clean the place was such as the surfaces and bathroom. I will note there was some very large spider webs that we knocked down with the broom that was provided. Our toilet chain was also broken when we arrived, maintenance came right out but sadly broke again and they had to return. The cottage came with a few dishes, microwave, coffee pot, paper towel, dish washing liquid/sponge. We brought our own pillows and linens. I loved that each cottage had their own private fire pit, table and grill. Our kids age range from 3-13 and they all had plenty to do. The highlight was the night laser tag (additional cost) and the jumping pillow! The staff were all super helpful and nice! Additionally we purchased the golf cart which also made our stay super fun for the kiddos! We are already thinking about when we will be back! Also if you forgot anything the market will have it! That place was stacked!!

Non functioning kids toy

Its a great park but some of its best features arent maintained or they are just turned off. 3rd time visiting. At least 4 of the blue water blasters no longer work, and the purple water drencher no longer works. The 4 blue water jets were a lot of fun to spray back at people as they were spraying you with water. These are fun things for the kids to use and they just sit there broken, not being used. The bathrooms have also not been maintained to their potential. There are a lot of spider webs that have been there for a long time. These little touches will make the waterpark and camping a much better experience.

We took our 5 year old grandson and had a fun time. Our RV spot was a cement pad pull through which was great. We rented a golf cart for our two night stay which was a smart move as our site was the furthest from all the activities. Lots to do from the playground to the water park and miniature golf. Is it inexpensive? No, but it's worth the memories. I think his favorite was "mining" though he enjoyed the water park as well. Great lifeguard supervision there. Would we go back? Definitely.

Pizza party fun

We just did a family trip for 5 days to Jellystone. This is the 6th year in a row that we have did a family trip there. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly familiar staff member Jennifer in the reservation office. We always feel so welcomed when we arrive and have contact with her. My grandkids get excited saying look there's Jennifer. I know that if we have any issues there that she always works to resolve them quickly. Jellystone is our Happy place and we always look forward to going there . The one thing we miss more than anything is the snow cones they used to sell at the waterpark entrance now they just offer alcohol drinks maybe add snow cones machine there and sell them also. It was always a big hit. Looking forward to another trip there soon. Thank you for everything. Sara Moore

Does the Convenience Store sell ice cream?

Mountain View Sweets offers a selection of ice cream, coffee and breakfast snacks here at the resort..

When I called I was told that all water activities were included with the tent site rental, is this true. We rented 3 campsites and I will be really disappointed if we had to pay an extra fee for the water park?

Hello Courtney,, be sure to visit https://towerparkresort.com/things-to-do for information about our amenities, however, yes, the swimming pools and water playground are included with your stay.

Can you use the pool only for the day without having to stay overnight ? How much is a day use pass?

Hi Ana, Visit https://towerparkresort.com/park-passes for information regarding day passes...

Do we have to purchase water park tickets or the acces to the water park is included with the cabin rentals?

Cabin rental includes water park access. In fact, staying at the cabin includes almost everything- water park, pools, river, river floating tub, outdoor movie, playground, dog park, mini golf...

Are the cabanas near the pool or near the lazy river? I'm trying to find a picture of where the cabanas are? Is renting a cabana worth it (going mid week).

The cabanas are near the water park and the lazy river...there are not any cabanas by the pool area. Mid week you probably dont need a cabana, but it is nice to have a place to put all your stuff and relax if you have a group of people. The cabanas… 

Do they require you to wear wristbands? My son with autism will NOT wear it so if they do, this place isn't for us. Thank!

We were given wristbands but I kept mine in my pocket and was prepared to show it if asked. I wasn't ever asked.

Are pots and pans provided inside the cabins?

Yes, but only 2 small ones of each.

We didn't reserve the linens, will pillows be provided or should we bring our own?

Bring your own, there weren't any pillows provided when I went

Trying to get a hold of someone to verify information. No one is answering number. How can we get a hold of someone?

They NEVER answer the phone. I mean, NEVER! You will have to leave a message and then you'll get a call back in a day. The App sucks and the lack of communication makes the entire experience more stressful than it needs to be.

Can you check in early? We are staying at a campsite.

Hi Wayne! You can find the most current hours of operation on our website's guest dashboard here: https://towerparkresort.com/guest-dashboard/ . Thank you!

Hi! We have two fishing spots: One off the levee next to the Registration Station building before entering the campground gate house and one past the Zucchini boat shed on Delta Drive. You can check out our map in our About Us section on our… 

Security at night and weekend? They issue wrist bands & car hang tags, but when the sun goes down anyone can come in, loud parties & drunk people, no safety! Have they changed this, do they actually have security guards at every entrance?

When we went this last weekend, there where attendants at the entrance gate and all other gates where closed with a barricade bar. Everyone left their stuff out and no one had any safety concerns that I know of. It was super safe and family friendly.

How can I cancel a reservation. I've been trying to call 2 different numbers for 3 days?

Please be aware!! At night the camp site is full of cockroaches!! I was just here at the end of…read moreJune 2025 and there is a serious roach infestation here that needs some type of pest control. My husband and I were making s'mores at the fire pit around 9:30/10pm when all of a sudden we see them all around us on the ground. Luckily we had our flashlights and lanterns to watch where we step. It was too overwhelming that we packed all our stuff and left as soon as possible. I was so shocked to see why it was empty since the area does look really nice during the day. The trail was nice as well. But I do not recommend staying the night here. It's not worth bringing this possible infestation home.

This place was amazing. It was off the beaten path quiet you don't hear any traffic noise. I read…read morethe reviews on yelp. It said beware of cockroaches that it was infested however, I didn't see one bug not a cockroach fly mosquito fly or even a bee. The site has a fire pit, picnic table and a small pagoda shelter. Water but no electric. The camp host was very accommodating when I arrived. The gate was closed and locked even though I had a reservation, but a woman came out and open the gate for me and even allowed me to go get something to eat and lock the gate behind me when I returned. The bathrooms could use some updating however I was able to make it work but no showers. But very affordable but reservations need to be made online I paid $35.
