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

My family and I have been going to the Fremont Jellystone since my son was 2 years old, he’s now 23. It has always been a wonderful place that my kids LOVED!! We would go there 3-4 weekends a summer when they were young. I am very disappointed in what has happened since Roger sold the campground. There was trash lying around the campsites and ESPECIALLY in the patio off the art shed (there was a pair of girls underwear lying outside the art shed). I was aghast that the tye dye buckets were on the patio making a mess and not in the grass. The bingo area now exhibits a table for the bingo cards & clutter behind it. Why would you tear down the old built in bingo area? It was perfect the way it was. Not being allowed to bring in our own candy bars for candy bar bingo is ridiculous; just one more way to milk money out of the campers. There was no regular money bingo on Saturday which was ALWAYS a big draw & packed the place. We went to the Ranger Station for dinner on Friday night after setting up camp & NO FOOD! What. The. Heck. There were no organized games for kids (kickball, capture the flag, wiffle ball, dodgeball). So sad. When my kids were young there were so many activities scheduled that it was hard to fit in time for swimming. The old Fremont Jellystone was such a special place. I have been to other Jellystones and the one in Fremont IN was THE BEST. Too bad corperate has made it into just another Jellystone campground. I’m glad my kids experienced it when it was the BEST. We have so many wonderful memories. I feel bad for the kids now as they won’t have that awesome experience. The ONE good thing that I saw is that the water slides and putt putt are now included in admission price.

Awesome campground! Tons for kids to do!

This weekend was so much fun for the whole family. The teams at Yogi do such a phenomenal job to make the campgrounds as great as they can be for everyone. Our cabin was clean, the grounds were super tidy, all requests and questions were answered in loving kindness. There was so much to do and even though we were there for 3 days, we feel like didn’t even do 40% of what Jellystone has to offer for kids ages 3 to 9 years old.

They were not prepared for holiday weekend. Did not have hot water turned on in cabins. Activity list was still had many too be determined descriptions. I did not feel welcomed

The site & bathrooms were well groomed & clean. The staff was friendly & helpful. We did purchase the meal of chicken tenders & French Fries with a drink. I realize it was opening weekend, but the only drink was a frozen drink(no other options or compensation was offered) & there were not many fries served with the meal. If I am paying $13.00 I expect something worth $13.00. We were very disappointed!
