Love/hate (frustrated) relationship : We've been coming here now for 4-5 years. Pros: family friendly, many activities included in your stay, nice and laid back cabins, wonderful trip if you are with those with a disability (rent a golf cart and cruise around all week) Pro or con- you decide: Not sure if it's a pro or con but they've cracked down on golf carts. They've become very strict and have people patrolling at night. It's chaotic and the workers don't know what's going on because it's so crazy at times however they seem to be flexible and find ways to figure it out. For example the lemonade server will get you a coffee pot for your cabin if you need one and the golf cart maintenance guy will figure out how to get you your salad you ordered a while ago lol. It's very unorganized and you can tell the workers are a bit lost but they roll with it and get it done. The store is very overwhelmed with the majority of the campgrounds tasks There's some blurred lines and instructions with activities. If you are a regular you will Know what's going on but if not, you won't. Example: there was a hayride that cost money scheduled at a certain time. We showed up with our money. We slowly realized as we stood in line that tickets had to be pre bought and scheduled a time. This wasn't listed anywhere. We asked people infront of us and behind us how they knew what to do and they said, "we just know because we've been coming her for years ." More details or clearer directions would be nice. Cons: the new keyless check in is a disaster- yogi does not have good cell service at all and even if you connect to their WiFi, it's still bad. Long story short, the wireless check in is not working. We opted for the old school key and entered our cabin that way. You need exceptional WiFi for technology like that and they don't even have average or acceptable service in this area read more

If this Yogi park is anything like their Williamsport facility. STAY AWAY FROM IT. Overpriced, understaffed, Filthy.

5 stars for the great and fun experience with the family, but 4 stars for the cabin we stayed in. Cabin - we stayed in Cabin 413. It has two bedrooms and each has two bunk beds. The size of the bunk beds were great! Mattress itself wasn't terrible, but wasn't comfy either (not a big deal at all). Each bedroom has one bathroom and shower. The sink is directly across from the bunk beds but the weird thing is that there used to be towel bar holders there - so no places to hang your wash clothes, hand towels etc. The kitchen is nice and has a gas stove, but this did not come with a stove light and fan. Another thing to note is that the deadbolt to the front door had no deadbolt - there was no bolt hub or bolt extension it was honestly the bolt face plate and thumb turn. Good thing the door knob locked with no issues The water park has 4 slides, a pirate water park, 2 pools(one pool had 2 basketball hoops) and arcade. Honestly I wouldn't waste the money in the arcade, but the water park and pools were great! The pool and water park were open from 1100-1900, we got there right when it opened and managed to have 4 lounge pool chairs. Definitely get there when it opens because as it gets later in the day it fills up quick! There were people laying in the grass because all the seats and tables were taken. The food was excellent! We got 20 wings, cheesesteak, grilled cheese, BLT, fries all around $40. The remainder of the time we spent there we cooked our food in the cabin kitchen and outdoor grill. I would recommend renting a golf cart. It's just easier to get around. We took the golf cart to a tractor ride, the playground right near the gate, mini golf, the ice cream shop, and overall was fun to just drive around and explore the campground. This was honestly the perfect small close getaway before the kids went back to school. Definitely enjoyed our stay here and will be back in the future - was heartbroken to see the damage that jellystone had due to the storm. read more

horrible they lied to us 11 times worst stay pf my life!!! they were so rude last time we stayed it was good but now they just liars not satisfied at all read more

We came here on the first day of the season. There was a basketball court, Waterpark, jump pad,mini golf, and snow tubing but none of it was open. They said they wouldn't open the snow tubing because it was gonna rain but there was not a cloud in the sky that day. The spots are nice and so was the staff. The restaurant was apparently only open on weekends and when it was the weekend we ordered a pizza and it was burnt. There was fun Easter activities to do while we went such as, candy bar bingo, cookie decorating, and Easter egg hunt. This place would probably have been a 4.5 if anything was open and the food wasn't burnt. Overall I would say go here during the summer to have the best possible experience. read more

This review is for the restaurant only as we did not camp here (but plan too) as the restaurant is available to the public. Just get a car pass at the gate. It's one of only a few places to eat in the area, and the only one we found serving breakfast early. The restaurant is located thru the gift shop and overlooks the pool. Parking was limited and full of golf carts. You will need to be extra careful driving in and out as there's alot of foot traffic and kids. Food was basic but decent and very affordable. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table which makes you wonder if tipping is customery (it's not according to campers). The bacon could have been patted better as it was very greasy and they didn't have orange marmalade but it was a solid meal in clean surroundings and the staff was friendly and efficient. read more

This is a nice campground with a lot to do. We had a site in the older section of the park- It was wooded and quiet, and most of the activities are on top of the hill. That part of the park is bustling and can be hard to navigate through due to the many bikes and golf carts. Stay aware if you are driving as the small kids aren't looking out for cars. Everything seems well kept and clean, and the staff was friendly enough. read more

We went last year and based off of that would have given 5 stars. I mean, that's why we went back! This time, the staff was incredibly rude. A lifeguard screamed at me for sitting in a shaded area that was apparently to be rented. In front of everyone. It was embarrassing. I would have gladly paid to sit there had I known, but there was no signage and I had sat there last year without issue. Not to mention that the pool had very few people there at that time and many of these seats were open. A simple request for me to move would have sufficed (pic of where NOT to sit unless you pay in advance included). That was day 1 so I was already over the trip. Moving on to day 2. I hate camping but some of the amenities here make up for my misery. Their pizza? Had it last year and it was SO good! Since I was fed up with eating over our grill, I walked to the restaurant and got a cheese pizza. It was so burned I ate half a slice and gave the rest to my dog. There was only 1 pizza in my 44 years that was as bad as this one. When I made note of this, I was messaged that my FB message and email would "Get me nowhere," and that everyone "Loved their pizza and this is how it's supposed to look." I have posted a pic so I'll let whoever is reading this decide. Anyways, it was cheap but I was craving it and we all know how disappointing that can be. The wine and moonshine tasting made up for this but not the snowless tubing. Last year? So fun! This year? No bubbles/suds and my son and husband went down and got stuck and noted that it was actually painful. Didn't want to complain or ask why since I've now been ripped apart by staff 2 times in 2 days. Happy to be home. Happy to never go back. Happy to pass this along so you are better prepared than I was. read more

buyer beware!!! wanted to love the campground (probably the busiest camp ground we've ever been to! packed in like sardines) but after riding the small "train" my wife's arm was nearly broken and the management staff couldn't care less! while it is was definitely an accident - tracy has treated us like absolutely crap since we left the property!!! non-responsive, calling my wife by the wrong name, offering us nothing to compensate for lost time etc. just crappy customer experience! go elsewhere! read more

We stayed here for our summer vacation 5 days. Was an overall great experience. Never running out of things to do. Stayed in a cabin and it was exactly what we wanted, full kitchen, beds, A/C. We loved the cabin. We did water slides, snowless snow tubing, swimming pools, 4x4 adventure and they had plenty more to do. We enjoyed it all. Great selection at the store and hand dipped ice cream. They also sell firewood ($6/7-9 pieces) but there are a few people just down the road that sell it MUCH cheaper($10/35-40 pieces). Another great thing, and if you camp you can relate, the people leave you ALONE, they don't come hassle you about alcohol or parking in the grass or anything. I suppose if I had to complain I'd say place a little nicer fire rings at the cabins, when you pay $215/night the fire pit should be more than a rusted thru old wheel, but that was minor and I really didn't mind much. Quiet time is 11pm, not 9pm like another yelper posed. Also, the lower set of water slides are a little dated but it's because they are historic to the park and they are still a blast. The upper water park is very modern and is huge. Bottom line, we will be back. It beats the beach if you hate sand and sweltering heat. read more

Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - 4x4 Adventure Ride - Campgrounds Near Me - Mill Run, Pennsylvania

This has been by far my favorite kid friendly campground since we started doing RV trips in the past 3 years. They have multiple swimming pools and water slides. Their game rooms have pool tables, air hockey, pinball, and so many other fun games. All weekend they play movies at the outdoor theater at night. They played homeward bound on one night, Moana, and I cannot remember the third night. Think it was either minions or trolls. You don't evened yo leave the resort. The kids had the best time and so did us adults. I just wish this campground was closer but it's over 4 hours away. Definitely need to go over a full 3 day weekend at least. Love this campground. read more

Would be a good family option outside of COVID times. However, given its geographic location, in a lawless part of PA, there is refusal to believe COVID exists and few care about being careful. Staff doesn't hold non-mask wearers accountable indoors, they still run several hay/bread basket/4x4 rides without any distancing. Other reviews right, this is a golf cart park basically. If they'd move to electric-only carts it would move this review up a full star. Loud gas carts annoying during an outdoor marshmallow cookout. Did not find the staff rude, like other more sensitive guests have said. Cabin was nice. Few too many spiders, but nice. Oh, absolutely no fish in that pond. What a joke. read more

Slides and arcades need updated. The cabin was nice but don't expect ANYTHING besides two rolls of toilet paper... not even hand soap in the bathroom. Quiet time starts at 7 but honestly with the amount of rental golf carts being driven don't expect silence or close to it roughly till 9pm or after. There seemed to be a issue with some workers grasp of money and how to make proper change in the store. Was Okay to try out with the kids but for the price there are nicer places that are maintained better. read more

My son, his dad and I stayed here for two nights - the weekend over the summer and I just realized I hadn't gotten to post a review. I cannot say how perfect of a weekend it was for us. I know some campers got rained out and this would be more likely if your rented site was at the end of one of the little hills. Ours was at the top of a little ramp/type hill, can hardly call it a hill but it kept the rain fairly away from us. We had the perfect spot. Each rented tent site comes with the firepit area, enough space to have some privacy from your camping neighbors, and room for your car. We are from Pittsburgh and it was nearly an hour drive which was nice for a small trip. We went for my son's 5th birthday for a small celebration. We only paid a bit less than $200 for the whole weekend --- which was awesome because it includes the rental space, the pools (2), the little train rides with Yogi and his friends, little rides throughout the park, and mini golf. I may have missed some attractions but this park offers a whole lot which is very awesome and affordable for family trips. There is also an arcade and a little diner (if you want to take a break from camping food, their breakfast buffet was delicious). There are also birthday packages. I paid $34.99 for Yogi bear and boo boo to visit my son at our tent site and bring him balloons and cupcakes. I guess that is a bit pricey but they also take your photo and put it in a keychain. The little added memory and child excitement is definitely worth it. There are many photo opportunities with Yogi statues etc throughout the park and areas to take walks. The other guests were all very pleasant and we had such a lovely time despite a bit of rain. I would love to go back. I will update my review with my photos when I log back in! I have so many. This park/campsite is priceless for families with little ones. I do remember that you are responsible for disposing of all of your trash so we made sure to keep everything neat throughout our stay. The map makes it very easy to find everything. You can rent a cart to drive throughout the park but it really is not necessary, everything is in walking distance and exploring is half the fun. read more

This will be the 4th Jellystone we've visited. Overall we had a good time and enjoyed our weekend there. -the park offered a good variety of amenities. I was surprised to find out they charged for some that other parks do not. -If you're renting a cabin, bring everything you need in the kitchen. Including a cutting board, knives, silverware, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. I also suggest bringing rags, extra trash bags, paper towels, dish soap, command hooks, a dollar store shower curtain liner and a bath mat. I used a toiletry caddy to and from the bathroom, that was definitely helpful. There's no room in the bathroom and it gets sopping wet. These suggestions are on top of everything else you need to bring IE towels and sheets) -the floor of our cabin on arrival was DISGUSTING. It wasn't cleaned!!! I normally leave a gratuity but refused to this time. I shouldn't have to clean the floors at check in! -our oven didn't work properly. The burners didn't light correctly and the oven didn't heat well. (For the burners we would turn on say the left front burner but had to light the back right burner). It took us an astronomically long time to make spaghetti and garlic bread -READ the reviews! I wish I had. The streets are extremely chaotic and busy with cars, golf carts and people. I do not understand how little children aren't getting hit by cars and golf carts. It's that insane!!! We wouldn't return just for this reason -the upper pool is heated while the lower one is not. -the restaurant food is decent. Good prices and we had excellent service I am giving it 3 stars based on the condition of our cabin and compared to other Jellystones. Luray is by far the best within a few hours radius (for example you leave your trash outside your door and they pick it up). We are still glad we went and checked it out. The park needs to tighten up on their cabins' condition and cleanliness. read more

I love yogi bear and the campground. We love the new sites too! BUT the upper manager kicked everyone out of the cabana seats at 330?? Grandparents were sitting in them and there were many open seats the last day for the pool. They have 0 signs saying they must pay $25 to sit in them. read more

*The power was out for 24 hours due to weather. We had to buy lots of extra ice to keep all the food from spoiling in the refrigerator/freezer and a few flashlights due to having small children in the cabin. *The handle broke off the refrigerator. *When I made reservations ...I was told that the bears birthday activities would begin on Friday...not true...there were no bday related activities ....in which case I would have made reservations until Saturday. *The cookies for $1.99 were stale In conclusion when we asked about any offset on the price of $210 for the 24 hour inconvenience/loss of pool activities etc...we were told to contact the electric company. read more

Met up with some friends and spent the weekend after prebooking. Campsites were right next to each other thankfully so we were able to maneuver things around. Kids had a blast at yogi's splash zone and pool! All the free "rides" were nice for them also. Except one train/firetruck driver wasn't very pleasant!! Magician was real good!! Clean bathrooms were nice. Not sure why someone reviewed that they had to pay for showers as they are in/near the bathrooms, meaning free?! It isn Disney, so why the gift shop was extremely expensive beats me. And the sale madness whatever it was called, only offered 10% off on items. Not that great of a deal. But store itself had all items needed. Restaurant was cute! Breakfast buffet was very good and potato skins were awesome and GREAT price!! Wings were good too. All around nice! Def recommend!! read more

We booked a stay at this campground knowing it would be tighter on space than a state park because that's the way full hookup/private campgrounds often are. We are experienced campers and are pretty patient - we know kids love to have fun (we have a teen of our own). But given the hefty price tag on a spot here, we expected something other than total and utter bedlam. The best way to describe this place is that it's RUN by children (the staff--so young and inexperienced) and OVERRUN by children, who are unsupervised by their (often intoxicated) parents. The slides are run down and overcrowded, the pool is not terribly clean, and it's like the Daytona 500 with golf carts, speeding well over the campground speed limit -- and driven by KIDS (even though stated rules say you have to be 21 to drive a golf cart). We left a day early because our stay was so completely unrelaxing. I imagine if the Jellystone chain knew what things were like at this place, they'd be pretty upset. read more

Just spent 2014 Memorial Day weekend here and overall it was a fun and pleasurable time. Staff was very nice and attentive, bathrooms very clean, big campground and plenty for the kids to enjoy and do. My only cons... You have to pay to use their showers and the roads to your campsite are too narrow, making backing in your RV a task. I do recommend. read more

We booked four cabins last summer in person before leaving last summer. We were very specific about which cabins we wanted and their staff made the reservation-all of which were paid in full long before our trip. Upon arrival, one of the four cabins booked had been given to another family. Staff did nothing to remedy the situation. Further, the cabins are getting run down. Things like missing oven knobs and mildew in the bathroom. We will not be returning. read more

A great value for the price. We tent camped here on a Sunday and Monday night. For the cost, it kept the kids busy the entire time we were there. The pools and spray parks were great and not too crowded since we stayed during the week. The prices at the restaurant and store were surprisingly affordable. The shower facilities were subpar, but they mostly cater to RV owners and rental cabins, so that was understandable. We will definitely be back! read more

Everyone was very helpful and nice. Lots of things to do for the little ones. Had a great time, will be back. The ONLY thing that we did not like is the garbage company sent the crew to empty the dumpsters at 2:30am! And it took them about a half an hour to do all of them, very loud beep beep beep ... booom booom boom Woke our whole family up :( read more

We booked our weekend trip on Wednesday. We got the last spot available. Everything was very clean and tidy. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was also very clean. The food was delicious and well priced. I had a burger that was huge and she had a steak salad that was the size of her head. The free rides were fun and very enjoyable for our 2 1/2 year old. Pool and water park were very nice also. Had a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend and plan to do it again soon. The weekend we stayed was Christmas in July and there were a lot of decorations. We spent a half hour on Saturday night just cruising the golf cart looking at lights. I highly suggest spending a weekend or longer here. read more

Great family vacation spot. Just got back from spending a week up there. Friendly staff. Restroom and showers were very clean. Definitely recommend Jellystone in Mill run pa. Looking foward to next year. read more

I've been to better Yogi Bears. Camp Luray in VA has me spoiled I guess. Campsites back into each with no significant barriers for privacy so get ready to go camping with strangers. The bathrooms have been filthy upon arrival. The trash needs dumping in every bathroom and forget about the toilets. Ladies getting clean will be an impossible task when the sinks are covered in hair. read more

This is a wonderful, family and pet friendly campground. We stayed in a yakky doodle cabin, which comes highly recommended if you are prepared to spend more than your typical nightly camping fee ($200+) per night. The cabin sleeps 7 and has all the comforts of home; full kitchen, living area, and private bedroom. The bathroom is full but the shower is tight even for me and I'm a petite individual. The screened in porch was one of our favorite features. AC works very well. The splash parks are awesome, along with the pools. There are 2 of each. Water slides are lots of fun too. There is a newer set and an older set. The newer pool is quite crowded and they don't have a life guard but do enforce some rules (no running, jumping). Snack bar included at the pools. There is restaurant, fully stocked camp store with hand dipped ice cream (my fave!), and lots of activities for kids and families (crafts, fire engine, 4x4 truck, wagon, train, and military truck rides). The gentlemen that provide the truck rides were very friendly. Very nice playground with snowless tubing as well. There are kiddie rides as well along with an arcade. You are allowed to drink alcohol at your site and there aren't any rangers that ride around and bother you like some camp grounds. These are all good things .... a couple drawbacks- the cabin wasn't cleaned well. There is a dirty tissue with used bandaid included up in the loft area which I refuse to touch. The carpeting in the loft area needed vacuumed 4 months ago and there is a considerable amount of food debris and dust between the counter and the fridge/stove. The beds are all enclosed in a cover and there are no signs of bedbugs but if you get freaked out by the idea of grody beds and pull-out couches then brings lots of fitted sheets, which I did. There are lots of windows with broken blinds. This place is primarily ran by teenagers with teenager critical thinking skills so be prepared for little to no friendly or engaged customer service. The campsites are cramped so if you want privacy you may want to scout out the place first. The final less than favorable comment I have is there is a mild/moderate inconvenience with amount of golf cart rentals this place permits. It is difficult to ride your bike at times because of all the carts and this can be annoying. Overall, we will be back and we loved it. Highly recommended for a family getaway and plenty to keep busy for multiple days. read more

Super clean park. So many activities for the kids. Staff is really friendly and very attentive. Great store that has everything you need for a fun getaway with the family. read more

This is a big campground with moderately wooded sites. There are tons of cabins (we did not stay in one) that are very popular and are in great shape. Crafts and activities are nice for families, but be sure to bring some cash as many have $1-12 fees (materials fees like shirts for tie dying). There is a small store on site for basics and a restaurant. The water park is opening soon and looks like it's going to be lots of fun. Our dogs liked the hilly trails and the views from the mountain top are very pretty. read more

Don't stay here. Family made internet reservations and called after not receiving later confirmation and was told the cabin was reserved. They do not handle their internet reservations immediately and also take reservations over the phone.. basically double occupying. The staff was non cooperative. They would not work with making things right at all. Now they appear to be ignoring phone calls and emails from our group. Very unprofessional and poor customer service. They could have had a double cabin reserved and 2 RV's with full hook ups. They will wish they had been more professional. read more

I'd rather put a zero, but there is no such option. First of all, they kicked us out of our cabins that we booked LAST YEAR. I understand things might've changed in a year, but we still need to stay somewhere! So we put up tents and tried to have fun. Then, the next day we went to the water park. The slides were rusty, dusty, and we would get stuck in the middle! We went on the jump pad that was so wet and dirty. My friend even slipped on the pad and fell very hard. Also, the pools barely had any chlorine. Chlorine is to keep the pool clean! The pools had a bunch of bugs in it too. Finally, we came back to the tents and it was POURING. We had to stay in the rain, and some of our tents couldn't hold the rain. The park wasn't even considering the people outside, and how soaked they would've been. The bathrooms had bugs, AND THEY DON'T USE BUG REPELLENT! The snowless snow tubing was just lame. You either go extremely slow, or so fast you could crash into a car. And, they allow smoking. Barely any places allow smoking anymore. Everything else was ok (keyword: ok) very disappointing. I hope this helps the next person who thinks about going here. read more

This place was AWSOME!! We stayed 6 nights and 7 days in a tent on one of the deluxe tent sites. Our site was really nice it had a pavillion over the picknik table, water,eletric and cable we used all of them and they worked perfect. Our site was very well wooded, the whole campground is wooded and very well taken care of. You dont have to worry about taking trash to the dumpsters they come around twice a day and pick it up if you have any. The bath rooms and showers were always spotless, some (only a very few) showers you have to pay for its .25 for 5 min. the showers you do have to pay for is very well worth it, they are really big shower rooms and perfect if you have young children you need to shower with you. If you dont want to pay there are plenty of free showers. They have tons of stuff to keep children entertained, the new water park Yogi's wetlands is GREAT!! Our kids 19 months and 6 loved it!! Our 6 year old was big enough to ride the water slides, they have 4 water slides 2 heated pools, lots of water fun!!! There are fire truck, picknik basket, train and hay rides that run everyday, the staff was super helpful and nice! We ate at the resturant a good bit and the food is not real expensive at all and you get a huge portion and it all tasted great!! (didnt care for the biscuts and gravy but its they only thing we didnt like out of all that we ate) I read some earlier reviews that said this campsite is built on a steep hill, not at all!!! Its not flat but if you are to lazy to walk a little they do have golf carts for rent, (afterall you are camping lol) or maybe you should just stay in a hotel somewhere!! I dont have one bad thing to say about our stay there, we will deffinatly be going back!!! A+++++ read more
