The cabins are amazing. The pools are wonderful for kids of all ages. We had three cabins and next year we plan to get four!

We really enjoy coming to Jellystone at Watts Bar and love all of the activities that are available for our boys to do. They really enjoy the crafts, hey hey rides, and seeing the bears.Couple of recommendations-The pool closes way too early for the summer months. With it being so hot they need to be open at least until 9pm. I understand that the water park has to have lifeguards, but the Boo Boo pool does not. There is also not enough shade at the pool or water park from the blazing sun. Now the male life guards over the 8 days we were there did not set good examples or make other guys (their friends) follow the same rules. Now this is probably from the day pass users who come in (basically babysitting for teenagers) to talk/ hang out with the workers. I know why you sell day passes but they definitely take away from the experience and make things overcrowded for the ones staying on property.

Clean facilities and nice helpful staff. I loved the baths and showers were designated unisex or family. With your kids you don't want to send them into a room where you can't help them. The bathhouse had family with infant designation as well as family with wheelchair access. May not sound like much but I felt it was very important and a nice feature

We stayed with our family of 7 plus 2 in our camper we rented 2 sites which provided us lots of spacious room outside, used standard rv site had a great time lots too do. Being a local 45minutes south its nice to know we have a family friendly place to take weekends trips and not travel so far. We will definitely be visiting again. If I could add 1 recommendation. It would be nice to have charcoal grills included at the standard rv camp sites. Thanks jelly stone we will see you again.

We had a wonderful trip. I understand this is a new location. Compared to others we’ve visited, it did seem small with not as much to do as other locations. I understand future enhancements are likely to come as well.Our kids had a wonderful time and loved the splash zone. I do wish there were more chairs for wading water at the splash zone. Aside from the lounge chairs and tables with chairs, there were only 4 wading chairs which made it very unlikely to get a chair in that area. We also witnessed a small girl go too far into the water at the pool without her floats. Her mother was yelling for someone to grab her from across the pool, but the lifeguards were oblivious. Thankfully her dad finally made it to her to pull her out. This happened right in front of the lifeguards stand. After that, I paid close attention to the lifeguards and unfortunately they did not seem to be scanning the pool frequently, but instead seemed to just be hanging out. These two things would not keep us from a future visit but were certainly things I wanted to mention for awarenessOur cabin was so cute and well supplied and of course our kiddos loved riding around in the golf cart and enjoyed the Hey Ride. Thank you for the memories, Jellystone!

We had a great time! The only complaint was it was pretty warm up in the loft area when the kids had to sleep. I wish air circulated better up there or fans were provided.

It was so wonderful! Made for great family time. I loved the scheduled activities. All of the employees were remarkable. And mostly teenagers!!! The only cons were low water pressure at the cabin, no parking at the playground, and the kids chicken tender meal should have two tenders instead of one that kind of felt like a rip off. But they did not keeping us from having a good time!

Our family loves Yogi Bear Campgrounds and we usually book our vacations around where a Yogi Bear Campground is located. This year we decided to check out the one in our home state. Unfortunately we had several hiccups that started to add up and eventually upset us to the point it ruined our Yogi Bear experience. First the Boo Boo pool had safety cones up during our entire week and we realized was because of the glass tile coming off. Our toddler kept finding pieces that could have cut someone. 2nd, there was a reserved event at the Lodge and they blocked off all the parking for the Recreation center and our family was not able to go to the store/cafe/ rec center unless we wanted to park at a distance and walk (we did not have a golf cart). This showed us that a current camper takes a backseat to their amenities. 3rd, anytime we wanted to talk to the front desk or a manager we had the hardest time trying to get a hold of anyone. I even left a message on the emergency line and no one returned my call. Lastly, my husband and I were playing with our toddler in the deep end and a life guard rudely told us that she was not allowed in the pool with her arm floaties. We were very taken back by her statement. I asked her again to make sure we heard her correctly. She continued to say that her floaties were not life guard approved. After speaking with a manager, we found out that they are fine but not in the deep end. The situation though could have been handled in a much better way, the life guard was rude and she did not take in account that both parents were in the deep end shaperoning their child. After this experience we refused to spend another dime in the campground. Thankfully the area has a good store down the road.The amenities were great at this park but our overall experience was overshadowed by the poor customer service. This experience has ruined Yogi Bear Campgrounds for us.
