Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Barton Lake — Reviews

Spacious camp sites and various activities for the littles. Why go to a water park when you can camp at one!

My site was not mowed before I arrived and in the two weeks that I stayed there it was not mowed so the grass was quite untidy around me. The restrooms need maintenance more frequently. The facility needs to spray and monitor for bees I got stung in the lip and forehead trying to enter outdoor patio of indoor pool. I had a 3 yr old so his activities example the train is not on the schedule so it was hit or miss in catching a ride. The times it ran were not consistent. The staff in ranger station stated if he sits and no one comes he will put train away and rides are over for the day. I didn’t realize the playground was eliminated for addition of splash pool so we had to walk a long way just to get to a play ground and we were on first row along fence. To find a toddler play ground you have to walk further to pond by tents. The playground in front of pond by bridge is too close to water for a three year old. I don’t drink and I have been coming ti this park for more than 14 yrs and I did not like that you now sell cocktails in area with children no a good message. I was coming this year to identify my seasonal spot for next year but after this visit I don’t see myself investing at this location. Theres no character on train for little kids but you put one on wagon that you have to pay to ride.

Fantastic stay - exceptional upgrade to the water park - ice cream and store were great! We had an absolutely blast!

We loved this campground! There was so much to do everyday. The staff were all so friendly and helpful!

This campground continues to go downhill. The facilities are dirty, and the pool area and waterpark are falling apart. We’ve gone for years and the things broken don’t get fixed… there’s just more broken the next year. Prices go up.. nothing is improved.

Very clean common areas! Great family atmosphere just wish the black hose port was not so elevated out of the ground. Made site dumping hard! They have safety with weather in mind and really appreciate that!! Great friendly staff!!

Was so impressed by this park! Will come back!

We still like the place, but the pools are dirty, arcade is boring, takes too long to get ice cream after ordered, and overall upkeep sees to continue to fall behind

Our cabin was not fully clean upon arrival. There were multiple toys and fireworks in the cabin. Everyone walks through your campsite without any consideration to the campers. The pool was not clean and had a lot of floaters. It was nauseating even being in it. We enjoyed candy bar bingo, making smores and memories. We played in the arcade, the ice cream shop is great. At night is the worst. There’s sooo many kids on bikes or golf carts or people walking being loud and obnoxious. Two sites down kept screaming at 12am. It was hard to enjoy with that happening.

The staff here makes it above and beyond. They are so patient with the kids. There were many activities everyday, they find ways to make it fun. There were many bear visits and attention to detail. The laser tag was well worth the $15 per person... what an awesome experience! We were the only ones that signed up for the day and they still were happy to set up the game for us. They are also very prompt about picking up trash at the site and keeping things around the campground clean and nice. We have been going here for the last 6 years, it remains the kids favorite. From 9am to 10 pm there is plenty to do. We will be back!

The campground is nice. Lots of things to do. The large play area by the water park is dangerous. The drop off at the end of the slides is way too deep. The other issue is the golf cart. Not being allowed to bring your own is one thing but the rentals being $80 a day with a two day minimum is way to expensive!

The only thing that would have made it better is if they had a hot tub for the adults. Overall, it was clean and there was plenty to do for my kids (11 and 13). The staff, several of whom are veterans, were accommodating and helpful. For the most part, everything was reasonably priced. We hope to come back soon!

The pools and area around them were dirty with trash, hair, band-aids. They are also not keeping up with general maintenance of things that were nice last year. (Putt-putt, slides, etc.).
