The place was OK. We came from the Christmas lights drive-through and it just looked very thrown together. Very odd collections like aliens and things like that. Not really what I would've pictured as Santa's dreamland as I believe they call it. It was a very short drive not even 10 minutes. The store lasted longer than the actual drive-through. The cost is very high. There are much better Christmas light displays that are lot cheaper. read more

The sites were very tight and not safe for small kids. At our campsite, it had a slopping terrain that my toddler had to be watched very closely. It was kind of expensive after we saw the campsite. The bath house was like a camp bath house. Not exactly clean but we are used to staying at state parks. The best thing that my kids enjoyed was waking up Yogi Bear. There are a lot of hills so you better make sure you are a good driver to park and leave out. read more

We wanted to take our travel trailer and go to Six Flags. This was the only available place open. We booked three days arrived 4pm on Thursday, check in was very easy and the gal at the station was very helpful. This place is truly for children. They were everywhere walking in middle of the streets.. everywhere. The staff were very accommodating and nice. Facility was nice. Restrooms and showers weren't that bad, I've seen worse. General store had a lot of stuff to purchase. Cons: spots are incredibly small, barely able to park sideways, gravel everywhere, sewer a foot off the ground, and tge three days was $268.00. Outrageously priced. One thing we didn't like is they allowed people to drive golf carts around with political symbols and flags. I don't give a shit who you support, and that's your right. But, there's a place and time for that, not in a park for children. Not going back read more

If you have kids then I have to say that this is a great campground. I was really impressed with all of the activities for the kids. We stayed here in our 43' 5th wheel. We got one of their pull thru sites (site 49 with full hookups). It had plenty of room for our large camper, truck, and golf cart that we rented from Jellystone. Quite a few of their campsites (2-25) are right on top of each other and I wouldn't care to stay in them due to their size and proximity to each other. The other sites all seem to have pretty decent spacing. Definitely keep this in mind if you have a large camper with slide-outs. The pool area was very clean but a bit crowded. The camp store is chocked full of nick-nacks/toys/candy/ice cream. It also has a few of the necessities for camping life. They have a small snack bar with several things but we never ate there. They have a small playground and a putt-putt course that were all very clean and well maintained. Be careful while playing putt-putt because if a ball leaves the fairway it is likely gone down the side of the hill never to be seen or heard from again. Now let me tell you about the activities while we were there. They had a "foam party" for the kids one night. The next night was a "bubble karaoke party" and a juggler. They seem to have something scheduled for the kids every night. They have a "Yogi-Train" that gives rides to the kids. Not sure I agree with the charge for that but we didn't use it since we had a golf cart. Overall a good time. read more

We stayed at jellystone campground in Eureka, Missouri in our travel trailer. We were very impressed with almost every aspect of our stay. When you arrive, they not only escorted us to our site, they helped us get lined up in the site and made sure you were able to connect to all utilities. Our site was a tight squeeze with or camper. All of the staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. There were plenty of activities. Very family friendly and lots of activities geared toward smaller children. mini golf, train rides, among other things. The pool was crystal clear and a good size. We would definitely return. read more

BED BUGS. We stayed in cabin 74 and we found it infested with bed bugs. At first we thought they were ticks because we didn't know what they look like but we quickly realized the bites we were getting were from something else. We called management to tell them and ask for our money back. They told us they'd call us back but never did. We're now having to treat our home and cars for them too. Update: Management had mistranslated my phone number and had in fact tried getting ahold of me but couldn't. I called again and this time the owner of the park called me back. She said we very kind and apologetic. They refunded our stay which I believe is fair. They also hired a professional pest control company to come and double check the cabin. read more

We had a great time camping at Jellystone over this Memorial Day weekend. There was plenty of fun activities planned to keep the kids busy. It really makes it so the kids open up and enjoy the camping experience. We rode the train, woke up yogi, had dance parties, made tye dye shirts, played minigolf, went swimming in the nice big clean pool etc etc. The facilities are all well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. The wilderness campsites were awesome. Very private. They also have plenty of cabins, rv sites, and campsites with utilities. I'm sure we will return here for more family fun. read more

Great little hidden gem in Eureka! We've lived in the area our whole lives and had no idea what a wonderful place this is. We stayed in a cottage, plenty of space for the 4 of us. It was great to have AC and a full kitchen/bath. The activities they have planned for the family was my favorite part! Def making this an annual tradition! read more

Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Hotels Near Me - Eureka, Missouri

Fun campground for kids! This was our first time staying at a Jellystone Park and we were very impressed at how many activities there were for kids each day. My daughter absolutely loved them! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The RV pads are not spacious but we were close to walk to all activities. I would highly recommend this park. read more

This review is strictly for the light display since I can honestly say, I have not camped nor had any desire to camp, since my days as a Girl Scout. That said, no holds bar, this is the best Christmas Light Display in the city. I know I am a bit ahead of my holidays here, but put this on your list this December. It's $10 a car to get in, but incredibly easy to find tickets for free or half off in any number of papers around Christmas time. Also, they have a train you can ride through the park instead if that's more your speed. I rode the train one year and I have to admit, it was far better than wearing out my clutch for the half hour trip through the park. Now to describe the lights. They are amazing. There's a huge waterfalls, big tacky cardboard cut outs, about 12 Santa's, gingerbread houses, cheesey music you can get on your car stereo so you don't have to roll your windows down and freeze, and an awesome light tunnel. They really do this park well and it's just gorgeous to drive through. Also, no shortage of cheesey and tacky to keep you laughing at how ridiculous Christmas has truely become. I end up at this place every year to gaze at these lights with friends or family and I have a great time every year. read more

We worked with Courtney and Lisa for a corporate event that we hosted last weekend at Jellystone and it was an amazing turnout and great fun. Everyone loved the facilities that the park had to offer and the Halloween theme was the star of the day! The trick-and-treat walk was fun. The walk at the end of the day was 'spooktacular'. Can't wait to visit the place again someday! read more

Eureka MO. We really enjoyed our trip! The staff was wonderful and willing to answer all my silly questions. We loved the snack bar and that you could rent movies (it was incredibly hot). We really enjoyed all the craft activities and loved the option to rent a golf cart! The bathrooms were very clean as well as the whole campground. We lucked out and got a great site, though we were told most people hate that site (back of the campground last spot so right near the woods) but we loved it! We are already discussing when we can come back! read more

We arrived to the Cottage with 3 adults and 3 kids as indicated on the reservation. the one room in the back had a bed that was incredibly soft and worn down. the 2nd room has small built in bunk beds that had 0 room to move around in. the futon is in the living room and that's about what you would expect it to be. This place is approximately 200 to 250 sq ft in size. The website is incredibly misleading and makes this place seem much nicer than it is. We asked to talk to the owner about a refund they gave us the main office number and then ignored our call. They were quick to call us for their keys after we left to get a room at the holiday in that was way better and almost 100 dollars cheaper. This is not a "Resort", deffinately just a campground. read more

Was very happy with the service of the first maintenance guy very nice took care of the problem no questions asked second maintenance guy checked water heater made sure it was working properly but actually lied about coming and fixing the exhaust fan in the bathroom so it sucks the moisture from shower out not blow ice cold air in from outside I had none of these issues last year when I was here I'm the kind of person if you tell me your gonna do something I expect it to get done I was in the United States Army and if we told someone that we would do something you kept your word I have very little room or tolerance for people who lie to me read more

Clean site. The sites are rather close together but, they let us pick ours and we were happy with the location! Daily trash pick up. Pool clean and extremely kid friendly! Super close to Six Flags! And, not too far from St. Louis ... only complaint is the sewer was higher than the actual spot/pad (a little hassle) but, overall ... We loved it! Will definitely be back in the future! read more

Spotlessly clean cabins! Great pool, no grass. We went on a very crowded weekend to see the total eclipse. Price seemed a little higher but I think it was due to the crazy demand. The Good: Spotlessly clean cabins. Trash pickup every morning. A playground for the kids. Lots of effort put into making activities for the kids- spinning cotton candy, a train ride, s'mores roasting, fighting with padded sticks in a bounce house type thing- and the week we were there they had a lot of eclipse and space themed activities. Convenience store was well stocked and reasonably priced. It is 5-10 minutes down the road from a Wal-Mart if you need something else. Right near Six Flags which is 5 minutes away and a McDonalds 3 min away. Golf carts were available to rent for getting around the grounds quickly. The Great: The pool was one of the best-very clean! Deep enough for grownups to not feel like Godzilla coming out of Tokyo harbor, but not scary deep- 6 feet. Great kids area in the pool, maybe half of it was kids depth about 3 feet and half adult at 6 feet, with a gentle slope between the two. Very safe enclosure, lots of tables and VERY friendly atmosphere from staff and other guests. The Not-so-good: The campsites looked very cramped together, it was gravel everywhere for pull-through trailer/camper hookups, not so much tent camping with soft ground, and I looked around- hardly any grass anywhere. Our kids were trying to play with other kids on the omnipresent gravel and it was a little sad because it's just not a great surface for that. Most campgrounds have at least some grass area around, but not this one. The Bad: Probably the worst pizza I've ever had. It's really hard to screw up pizza, but it can be done. Here the failure was the cheese. The pepperoni, sauce, and crust all seemed within normal parameters but the cheese felt synthetic, artificial. Wrecked the whole experience, ate a couple slices, one without the cheese, and threw the rest away wishing I hadn't. Avoid. If they replace whatever that was with real mozzarella it might be worth the $12.95 plus tax plus $3 I tipped the delivery guy. Overall, probably nice enough place to stay if you want the close proximity to Six Flags and have a camper/RV setup, but there are other places around that have better grounds for tent camping or playing. read more

Took my 2 sons (5,7) this summer for their first camping trip in a tent. We all had a blast and will be back. There were so many activities for kids. The place was very clean and staff was very friendly. Great job Jellystone! read more

This park is so wonderfully tacky and is positively bursting with Christmas spirit! Millions and millions of tiny lights are jam packed onto this camping ground, creating stunning waterfalls, tunnels, and animated displays. The best old-school Christmas music plays and it feels like you've stepped (well, driven) back in time to the days of Leave it to Beaver. Santa is even there to greet you on weekends! I usually go on a weekday evening when the lines aren't so long, but it's always fun to have Santa welcome you to tinsel town. Keep in mind that they charge by the car so be sure to pack all your friends into one. My only complaint are that most of the displays haven't changed in about two decades so it's not as fun for me to go anymore. But newcomers will certainly be impressed! I have to say, though, I've never taken part in the whole train ride thing...maybe I'll try that this year. read more

Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - From website. - Hotels Near Me - Eureka, Missouri

When I camp, it's usually at a Scout camp, so I'm not used to staying at commercial campgrounds. However, we were attending a family reunion at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, so we rented one of their resort cottages. They had a lot of campsites crowded into a small space, so each site was on top of the next one. Overall, it felt more crowded than natural. The resort cottage concept was new for us. Our cottage had a very small bedroom, and also included a bunkroom, kitchenette, and a very tiny bathroom. We really felt cramped inside. Each campsite had a fire pit; however, the pits were right in the parking space for that site. The fire pits aren't marked and don't have any kind of protection around them. It would be all-to-easy to drop a wheel into the pit, especially at night, and I saw it almost happen several times. The staff there was very gracious, and each person we dealt with seemed to be enjoying their role in helping their guests have fun. I really enjoyed having so many family members in one place and being able to spend time with each of them. We don't have young children, but there were quite a few children at our reunion. There seemed to be a lot of activities for children, and all the children seemed to be having a great time. Jellystone turned out to be a good choice for our family gathering. read more

This review is based on the Christmas Light show. It is basically christmas lights just randomly thrown up in the trees. There are no designs. The decorations are random. You'll see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, aliens, candy bars, and other cartoon characters. They have people on the trail CONSTANTLY pushing you forward with light sticks, and cramming you two by two on some parts of the road. Their christmas radio station they ask you to listen to is just one big advertisement the whole time. And finally it is waaaay overpriced. $23, cash. Decorations are random, you're pushed through, and it cost more than a correct light show like Tilles Park. read more

We had a great stay at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park. Facilities were clean, staff was very helpful, and prices were reasonable. I highly enjoyed the pool as well. Our water hose didn't quite reach the spigot and the staff generously lent us an extra hose free of charge. Highly recommend! read more

I usually have a good experience here with my family. Not this time. The cashier (Claire) in the general store was rude. It took us an hour to get our pancakes. I ordered funnel cakes while waiting for 30 mins. The photos we received were so blurry and had to wait an incredible amount of time to get them. read more

My family has been going to Jellystone Park in Eureka for several years now. In our opinion, it gets better every year! This year, we were there the last weekend of June, and even though it rained, there were still many attractions to keep the kids busy. We always stay in a cottage, and highly recommend them. They are always clean and can hold my family of four very comfortably. The cottages have everything you need, all the way down to the utensils. We've never stayed in the cabins or a tent, but from the looks of it, they are nice too. The restrooms and whole campground are super clean, and the general store has a ton of cool stuff to buy too. The staff are always super friendly and very helpful. So, if you're thinking about going to Jellystone Park, don't hesitate. We love everything about it! read more

First, the reasons we will never return: -We chose this campground soley because they advertised that they were 1/4 mile from Six Flags. When we found the campground we realized that this was certainly not true. When I checked in the employee told me that "It's only a 1/2 mile from our gate to theirs". I double checked their brochure to make sure I had read it correctly and it did say "1/4 mile from Six Flags". My husband and I walked to Six Flags as planned, but the walk was along an interstate access road and through some intersections with heavy traffic. I would not recommend the walk to anyone with children. -Pulling into the campground was a complete shock. We have camped at state parks, koas and other private campgrounds for years, but neither of us have seen a property this crowded before. The sites for rvs and cabins are right on top of each other. The tent sites are also incredibly small and close together. We were glad that our stay was for a Saturday and Sunday night because the second night everyone cleared out and it was more peaceful. -The bathrooms were small, overcrowded and not maintained well at all. Every time I went in the women's restroom something was in a state of disrepair. It's as if they didn't even try to clean it on the weekend. To their credit- -The campground itself was attractive enough, it was just hard to enjoy with neighbors camping a few feet from us. -We knew that there would be lots of children (duh!) but at 9:00 pm it looked like an unsupervised mob of munchkins. At 10:00 pm, as if by magic, it got quiet and remained that way. They did a good job of encouraging everyone to observe "quiet time". - At dusk, a staff person from the store drove around selling wood and ice. It was a nice touch read more

This was a great place for kids. And when the kids are happy......so are the adults. Lots of things to do. Plenty of things nearby. Great cable and WiFi!!! read more

I was looking forward to this camp-out while on a road trip. We went online and reserved a regular camp site (they also had MANY cabins, but that ISN'T camping!) for our group. It was about $40 for one night... a little pricey. So we get there after driving about 9 hours, and went to the ranger station to check in. Suddenly, our thirty-something ground fee skyrocketed to $76 a night!!! For a patch of rocks!!! The cabins were only $90, so that really started us off unhappy with this place and feeling very mislead. We paid, we had kids with us and had promised this camp-out. We drove up to our camp site and what do you know, room for one car to park... seriously. We finally manage to precariously get my car parked behind the van on a very steep incline. We look down the incline and find a twisty path of loose gravel going down to a not-so-leveled off tent pad that our 6-man tent couldn't even fit on! The path was dangerous enough for the littler kids in the daylight, but as night fell, not even flashlights could avoid the slips and falls. There were some semi-good things. Scheduled activities announced on a loud-speaker throughout camp made me feel like I was in summer camp again, and even though they were annoying, some of the events were neat. They had a good play area for the kids and a decent pool, those places were a little bit over-run and right in the main intersection though. The best thing I can say is that the place IS beautiful. I do not recommend having a camp-out here though. If you plan to have an interesting motel room, the cabin would be okay. All in all, I was very much disappointed. read more

I enjoy going to see Christmas lights just about anywhere, and Jellystone is always on my list. Their prices have gotten way too expensive ($20 per car!) but we had a coupon so we paid under half price. There are TONS of lights in this park and it is definitely geared more towards kids because almost everything is kind of cheesy with cartoon cut outs and stuffed animals all around. However, I enjoy reminiscing on being a kid again so its still fun! Not the best display in STL but definitely worth doing, especially if you have a coupon. I think it is definitely not worth $20 to come here, especially when Tilles Park only charges $10 and their display is better and has a longer route. Maybe they will consider lowering the prices next year? read more

We stayed at Jellystone while visiting family in the area. It was a blast! The kids were so comfortable there, that we had no problems with homesickness. The cabins were really comfortable. The family activities were exciting. My kids loved waking up every morning to a train ride and "waking up yogi bear" read more

A $23.00 per car traffic jam. The lights were ok at first but unless you are over 50 years old you will not recognize any of the characters and the slowest non descriptive part of the tour is 1960's alien figures. Better bring cash or you are going to the gift shop ATM. read more

We are very disappointed in the cabins, it says it sleeps 6. It only sleeps 6 if you have small kids the bunk beds a very small and you get a full bed and an uncomfortable futon to sleep on. I asked for a refund when we got there because it would not sleep 6 of us and they declined. There is a reason they do not post puctures. Also the rv camping spots are small and stacked on top of each other. Not a very fun place to visit. read more

We have 7 people & 2 dogs on a road trip across the USA & back. We are from all over the country. Alabama, DC, California, & Virginia... we have visited a LOT of RV parks in the past few weeks and this park is absolutely hands down the BEST we have been to so far... Amazing pool, lots of fun things for the kids to do, a general store w everything you would ever need, a snack shack, I was able to wash 9 loads of clothes in a timely manner... We had a great time! We were in spot #2 at the front which isn't a popular spot but was fantastic for us bc we had access to everything within a few feet away... The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The park was pricy compared to other places we have stayed BUT it was also worth it... Ill be looking for this chain in other areas we visit along the way! read more

We don't live far but were looking for a close place to camp on Father's Day weekend. We'd stayed here before and enjoyed the clean facilities and amenities so we made a reservation on the website for a two night stay. As the weekend approached it the weather forecast called for lots of rain so hours before we arrived we called to see if we could upgrade to a cottage. They were very accommodating and we arrived right a 3 pm on Friday. The cottage was small but our family of five was comfortable and we had access to air conditioning and television as well as a full galley kitchen and refrigerator. The cottage was clean and we could pare down our packing list because utensils, dishes, towels and linens were provided. The kids enjoyed the weekend as the camp has lots of activities for the family. We enjoyed a flashlight scavenger hunt which allowed us to meet our neighboring campers. The staff is friendly and never hesitated to offer suggestions or provide their assistance. They nightly drive by to provide ice and firewood for an additional fee but you can't beat the convenience. Not very many activities for teen and tween boys but a good time was had by all. We enjoyed the scavenger hunt, candy bar bingo - we won!, tie-dyed t-shirts and the all you can eat pancake breakfast. Oh and the views are lovely. read more

We camp a lot and have recently been on the road in our RV for over 3 weeks, we run a program for kids w autism, Askate.org Helping kids w autism through skateboarding ... it was really nice to pull up to an RV park that wasn't behind a gas station as that's just about all you get traveling across country on the 40. We took a detour road north and ended up at Jellystone. It was more expensive than I wanted to pay but def worth it. The pool wasn't "green" during our trip like other reviews had said, the staff was more than accommodating, there was a general store that I visited about 4 times, it wasn't a pull through but was easy to back in, they didn't yell at us like most places do when my kids brought out their skateboards and started skating their curbs... it was just really nice to feel comfortable and safe. I washed about 9 loads of clothes (yes we had a crew of 8 plus 2 dogs in a 30 ft rv yikes, and they had enough washers and dryers for me to not be sitting there for 6 hours... I would camp here again if in the area and ever since camping here I have first looked for a Jellystone chain campground before others... read more
