Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park

Upon arrival, we missed the "Check-In" sign and ended up in front of an open gate. We went through the gate in order to park; then go find the Check-In point... Our "Welcome" to the park was some guy pulling up beside us and yelling: "Where the hell do you think you are going?... Not a good 'first impression"... Shortly there after, a young lady showed up and apologized for the guy's "rude" behavior"... Then another man showed up to help us to our campsite... Things took an upturn from there and we ended up having a very pleasant stay.After all this, the campground turned out to be pretty nice and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Our site was right on the edge of the bay and very roomy. The amenities were fantastic, the camp store was well maintained; the campsite facilities functioned as they should.We would highly recommend this campground to anyone wishing to have an enjoyable weekend. A good place for kids to play and getting plenty of exercise. We camped at Yogi Bear's Jellystone at Gloucester Point in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed in the ocean front cottage. Perfect size for 3 adults and a toddler. Cottage comes stocked with kitchenware, stove, full sized fridge. They have an app you download upon arrival which gives you times of all of their events for the day. They provide awesome activities throughout the day and night. They have a petting zoo, watch out the alpacas will spit on you . Pony rides are offered. We loved the water park. Paddle boats and kayaks available also, unfortunately the weather on our last day shut down that option due to possible thunderstorms. Friendly staff!!! Out water heater went out and staff came immediately and fixed a part for us!

I have to say I can not wait to come back! After having such bad experiences at other camping grounds ( and I mean bad!) I'm so happy that we finally found a place that we deem worth the drive! My sister, two kids, and I went for the Wizarding Weekend Event that friends of ours had mentioned earlier in the summer that they were going to attend. Let me say, we all wished we could of stayed longer since there was so much to do with the event that we weren't even able to see the whole camp ground! The staff were all very friendly and patient with the kids they were working with. I will say they should really make sure to pay attention to where the parents are, there were times where I saw some (young 5-8) kids but never their parents. Yet it should be the camps responsibility to reinforce the rules to both kids and parents. That bothered me a bit but to each their own I guess. ‍ We had rented a cabin, the smallest ones they had. A bit pricey personally for only being able to have two adults and two kids able to stay but with my two young kids a bathroom and a/c is necessary. They were clean and supply trash bags, a paper towel roll, a small bar of soap, coffee machine and bagged coffee, microwave, and mini fridge. All you have to bring is towels and sheets/covers really. The only two downsides for the one we stayed in is that their A/C unit didn't really get cold. Even when we brought it down to 68 degrees it still felt like 75/80. Also their shower head was so powerful that it hurt when it hit you as well as their hot water running out after 15 mins. With 4 people that was a little annoying. Check in is 3pm and check out is 11AM. Walking around camp there were a few areas where it smelled like sewage, I guess we were lucky enough not to have that problem next to us but our friends weren't as lucky. Their camp grounds were nice and they offered a ton of different things for everyone to enjoy. Some areas did have holes in the ground that you didn't really notice ( due to the grass being high) until you fell in them and you'd end up covered in mud up to your knee. Again luck was on my side so it happened to my sister and not me. That happened to both our group and another we talked with. So that is a problem and they should consider walking the grounds every few weeks and fill these areas in. The pools by the front were clean except for the baby pool and your usual pool dirt. The only thing that did irk me about the pool area was that older kids (like 10+) would play on the baby slide and not pay attention to the younger kids. Even when they had the big slides open. And again, no parents around for these kids. Since there is no life guard on duty you'd expect parents and staff to be more diligent. The Bathrooms by the pool area were dirty but the ones in the back of the camp ground were clean. Best thing is they're actual individual bathrooms, so no random kid will accidentally walk in on you looking for "mom or dad" the same bathrooms house washer and dryers but I didn't use them. Nighttime everyone was already quiet around 11pm! I loved that part the most, you had people enjoying their time without being rude or belligerent unlike other camp sites we've stayed at. It really was a family friendly atmosphere. It was only our first time there and I'd like to hope every future experience will be just as good or even better as this one. I probably forgot a few things but I'm pretty sure this is a good enough idea of what to expect.

I absolutely loved this place! I'll be honest, I wasn't looking forward to be there all day but I'm so glad we were there to do all the activities. There was so much to do! We did not camp because we're from California, but as a person who doesn't like camping, this would be a nice place to do it. The only thing I didnt like was the hold up at the tie dye spot. Apparently many shirts were at the front shop and the staff kept calling looking for specific styles and sizes. It wasted a lot of time and we didnt get to enjoy playing with the water balloons. Loved the pool and the food! Overall, this place is amazingly fun! Oh and I highly recommend for Priscilla to get a raise as she went above and beyond to help us out!

We are avid campers across the country. Jellystone Park in Hayes was very inviting, quiet, and cares about each family. The folks at the Ranger Station were so nice and helpful! Very much a small town feel and friendly atmosphere. So much to do and we cannot wait to return! Sites 12 & 13 were home to us and our sons family for 6 days. Left today and looking forward to coming back! Oh... the very informative instructions at the pool= awesome!

This is one of our families favorite places to go, we have stayed on several different sites throughout the campground. Most sites are level, all are large enough for everything we need and then some. Some back in sites can be tricky to navigate, esp in the dark. We have always been treated well by all staff and had all our needs met within an appropriate time frame. We have always found the value of rates vs amenities hard to beat in the area. It's a very quiet family oriented campground and it's obvious the owners (and their staff) work hard to maintain the property to the best of their ability and upgrade when necessary. They did a great job this past week with a full campground, no power or water, and a lot of grumpy guests! Thank you for always taking care of us and making sure we have everything we need!!

We stayed Labor Day weekend. The family had a great time. The staff is very friendly and they have lots of activities for the kids. Pet friendly. The bathrooms were pretty clean for a campground. Fishing and crabbing was great. I loved that the dryers are gas dryers. Little things like that make a big difference to me. Didn't spend forever waiting on towels and clothes to dry. Our campsite flooded due to a storm and high tide but the staff was helpful and they even gave us a voucher for a free night stay. We have stayed at other bigger campgrounds with bigger pools and slides but our kids still prefer jelly stone. The wifi wasn't the greatest but that didn't bother us. We weren't there to be on our phones and tablets. The food at the snack shack was pretty good and the prices were fair. We will be returning.

This campground continues to be our families go to destination for camping. Our only down fall is we wish it was closer so we could go more often! My sons enjoy the continuous activities. And the staff is very responsive when a concern is pointed out. We enjoy the small camp feel and hope to continue coming to the park for years to come.

We booked here for a week. This is our 2nd time staying here. The first time in an RV site. The price for the week was good. The amenities and activities were good. The pool closes at 8pm which I thought was a little early. The place was clean and well kept there were a few unavoidable situations while we were there such a water main break that put us out of water for about an hour and a half. The main reason for the low rating is the staff are just not very nice at all. The lady working the desk the day of check in as well as a couple days that week was just not very friendly at all. The maintenance man an older guy was super nice and informative and the gentlemen that checked me out on Saturday was equally as nice. One younger gentleman stopped at my site to ask my husband about a toy guy and informered us they were not allowed on the playground as this would scare and intimidate other children. This was a harmless toy purchased at colonial Williamsburg which this location advertises as a local attraction. The guy was simply rude implying that this was an actual firearm. So the location is nice and clean the help is just not friendly,warm or inviting. I would most likely not stay again.

Terrible management. Management has always been rude and un willing to work with customer. Management is not veteran friendly. Management dis regards the up keep of some sites. Staff has always been friendly for the most part. I wouldn't recommend this place.
