My Fiance and I took our 6 month old son camping for the first time we stayed in a Boo Boo Bungalo and it was beautiful! The loft was super cute and the detail in the woodwork gave it a nice authentic feel, the full kitchen was a super convenient touch along with the smart TV it was nice to be able to log into our streaming apps to watch the shows we are used to watching. We attended most of the activities in between naps times and although our son was too young to really partake (besides the cute turkey craft we made of his hand tracing) we were welcome to join in on the kids activities and our son loved watching us and the people around us. We signed up for the Bear Mail and Cindy Bear came to our cabin to give our son his letter it was the cutest! We really enjoyed our stay and we know our son did too it was a great first family vacation for us and I hope we can make it back for opening season! The rates are pretty high we were able to go because of the end of season sale so hopefully we can catch a few other sales next year. Thank you so much for a memorable stay!

Went there with my nephew Bob, my niece Michelle, and their children, it will definitely be a great family memory for the little ones. There was always something to do, they were never bored. Can't say enough how courteous and knowledgeable the staff was. The cabin we rented was exactly how it was described in ad. Perfect and clean! Again can't say how happy I was with the whole experience. Will definitely be returning yearly, until the little ones outgrow it. I would most definitely recommend it to others.

I've been camping my whole life. Grew up with an RV and now that I have a family of my own we stay in cabins! Safe to say I've seen and stayed at a lot of campgrounds. My family of 6 was super excited for this 3 night 4 day stay here. From the website, everything looks perfect. However, it's been very much less then. To start, on arrival the office was extremely slow and attendants seemed as though they've never checked someone in before. Took 25 minutes to check in and get my golf cart. Found out our "guaranteed locked in site" had to be changed to a different, much more out of the way location. We were compensated for that. Got to our cabin and it had a great appearance, as it should since they are brand new. The beds were hard as rock. Fast forward a few hours, we had no water for 4+ hours. Later the next day, water went out again. Then we had just cold water for the rest of the trip. No hot water. The water area is nice. However, the splash area is full of bees. Saw two kids get stung throughout our stay. Dead bees all in the shallow pool area. So strange. Overall, definitely not with the hype or the price tag! Won't be back unfortunately.

We stayed here for King Richard's faire and had a great time! The cabin has everything you need. They are all brand new cabins that were really well built. The full/queen mattresses are brand new and comfortable. The twin/double mattresses are firm, but still comfortable. This place will look even better after all the grass grows in. We will come again!Nearby activities: 10 minutes from King Richard's

Treated the grandkids, 6&2yo, & family for a Halloween themed weekend. They LOVED the loft in the cabin and doing s mores on the fire. Activities were GREAT!! The foam party was so much fun for them (& us to watch)! Crafts, arcade & gift shop were right up their alley!! The kid s carnival was so cute and they loved playing the games, picking little prizes was the highlight. Costume party was GREAT ant the magic pumpkin seeds was just that- MAGICAL! The wonderment on their faces the next day was priceless! The very best of it all- the GOLF CART- we couldn t get them off it, LOL (& it saved these old legs a lot of pain )We can t imagine what it would be like if the weather had been better because we had a BLAST in spite of it. Looking forward to making it an annual event for the family Rooms: Screened in porch was a lifesaver!! Definitely worth it

I first want to say I was pleasantly surprised at our 4 day vacation here this pass weekend. Although the atmosphere lacks the wilderness feel the kids truly enjoyed the the water park and activities.This size of the beds were wrong in the loft but if that the only issue I m okay with it.The staff are trying and I feel like others need to except growing pains. We bought the most expensive fun pass and I would say that wasn t worth it with only being there 4 days. we didn t get ceramics or the dye and that was the biggest thing they wanted on their pass.I feel like it was fair for a local getaway, going back in a few years it will be amazing!Rooms: The cabins were amazing I wish I had one. Even with 4 kids and 2 adults!

We stayed at the campground for 7 nights and loved most everything about this place! Roomy lots, good utilities, very family friendly, lots of activities and management staff was quick to respond to one issue we did have and rectified. Beach was a nice spot to chill while kids tried to fish. Waterpark and pool area is awesome! Kids (5, 6, 8, 9) loved every day and were sad to go home. The cons: ranger station, ice cream and food truck shuts down at 7 pm; it would be nice to see at least ice cream stay open later so we didn't have to rush thru dinner after a busy day at the pool! My other complaint is the laundry room which is so very small with no place to fold and 2 of the 5 washers were out of service. When traveling with kids, a laundry room can be moms only place to hide out for a few quiet moments to recharge Nearby activities: Close to Edaville Railroad and King Richard's Faire.

Not worth the cost! Contaminated water from their wells. Crowded small sites. No trees between camp sites.1st Jellystone I have stayed at with no trash pick up, no firewood delivery. For such an expensive location, I expected more!Owner's response regarding water issue is an example of how inadequate and inappropriate the management team really is. Anytime you break into a water system, no matter how insignificant the repair appears, that entire part of the system should be segregated and not returned into service until at least 2 consecutive tests show NO contamination. Your handling of the construction and the contamination of our rigs, to say nothing of the potential threat to the health and safety of your guests, is appalling. I am surprised the Jellystone organization that sold you the franchise did not shut you down immediately.

This place just opened a few months ago and our experience great one.As of right now it felt busy but not packed so you were able to enjoy all they have to offer. It has a water Park section in the pool so you can enjoy that with the kids, a playground with swings and a bouncy pillows section, activities all day for the kids with a basic so to look at all the activities they have and to give you reminders 15 minutes before they start. Lots of the activities are free and they even have a little food trick or sorts to get wings, nuggets, burgers, ice cream etc.The rooms are spacious and fit 8 people comfortably. They have water electricity and even WiFi which cannot be relied on for streaming and video calls, but good enough to check emails and some things.Being new, there are many areas that can be worked on to make it even better. For example they don't have anywhere to get breakfast so you have to venture outside the campsite for that. Or small details like the offerings of ice cream on the ultimate pass being only for a certain type of ice cream when one employee serves you but any type (as it should be) when another serves you. Also the rooms could use a table indoors for when it's raining or it's too cold for outside. Also hoping the app will be improved because although it was a nice addon, it seems dated. Not someone you would want from a newer place.They have grills and fire pits for each cabin. , little patios (for most cabins).They are adding a lot of cabins and if they don't add another pool and park, it may get too busy to have a good time, but now it was perfect so I can't judge the place for what may be bad in the future. We plan to go again next summer and based on how it is then, I will update my review, but right now it's definitely worth going.Nearby activities: Even on rainy days there are plenty of activities nearby restrictions for younger children that get bored easily when the gent to play at the water Park in the pool.

We stayed in a cabin this past long weekend Thur-Sun. We normally stay in our travel trailer so this was a new experience for us. The cabin was clean, except the dishes, we had to rewash those. It was sturdy, we could not feel much movement when everyone was walking around. The AC worked nicely. The beds up top on the loft were hard as a rock, thin, only good for small children. Queen sized mattresses were hard also but surprisingly we all slept well on them. I burnt some food (no surprise there) and the smoke detectors did not go off, the tabs were not pulled so they were not activated, I called the office and they came out with a ladder within 10 minutes. The front lower RV sites and the closest cabins to those had a constant smell of sewage, every time we walked through there it was gag worthy. The laser tag... all 9 kids in our group were so so excited for, we could never get signed up, even being upfront at 0820 when sign-ups started at 9, we were the 4th people in line both days, no dice, terribly disappointing for the kids, same with BINGO, why would you have a cap on BINGO? And the "hey hey rides" were booked the entire stay also. The pool is COLD. Very little tree coverage throughout the entire park, looks clear cut. The only gem bags for the sleuth were "the mother load" for $42. No golf carts available throughout our 4 day stay, these have to be booked in advance. We had heavy rain, the roads up to the cabins washed out and made it hard for the kids to ride their bikes in some areas. Very few people follow the speed limit, keep a close eye on your children. One in our bunch had his bike stolen from the volley ball area, to be found later that morning half way up the hill and missing parts. Sigh... I wish I had a better review, $1500 for 3 nights with minimal else to offer just isn't worth it. I know its still new but maybe they might be growing too quickly? If you want GREAT Jellystone experiences got to Glenn NH or Gardiner NY!

Our third trip up and we don't think we will return next year. More crowded every time we go. Cabins added that have taken away some of the better rv sites. Golf carts everywhere. Our site was small and compact (71). Right on top of your neighbors. Their sewer hose was about five feet from our picnic table. Has become very corporate. Pool and activities are good but we definitely found some better campgrounds this year.

Terrible. My family was so excited to try out this yogi bear especially with the new cabins. The website appears to be intentionally unclear about the details of what they offered and when. To our disappointment the pool was closed. I was told that I should just know that the pool would be closed. I even called to ask before we booked and was told yes they have tons of activities available for our stay. We swam only a few minutes the day we arrived only to be told by the attendant that they will be closing in 12 mins (7pm) and will not open the next day onwards. I met at least one other family who extended their stay in hopes of enjoying the pool only to learn after they had paid that the pool will not be open the two extra days they paid for. The unprofessionalism at the ranger station was a beauty to behold. I can t imagine giving my money to this place ever again.

Jellystone is fantastic. Huge campground undergoing a transformation. Plenty of campsites for all size RVs .they also have cabins that look pretty nice on the outside . A wonderful play ground with this huge jumping pillow, a great swim area that is a lot of fun for even the adults , mini golf, dig park, a food truck with huge portions. It's just a fun place! Love the remodel going on

Just left this place and it was horrible. Definitely not worth the money. Pool was clear but dirty, water park was ok for the kids. Beach? There is no beach just some sand near a dirty pond that nobody would swim in. They only allow 8 people for laser tag when there is 200 kids staying in the park. Everything is spread out, you will need a golf cart for any older person. Carts are always booked so put them in your reservation. The Cabin was good, except TV and WiFI don t work, the park did not have enough bandwidth to support the amount of people.We were at Jellystone in Glenn NH last year and the place was top notch, this place does not live up to the Jellystone park experience. Save your money

Pretty fun place to go camping. The activities need more organization. It's not always clear what needs to be done before going to certain things, and it changes during the day. Sometimes an activity will even go away and then return to the listing. It makes it very difficult to plan out the day.They also need to stop putting in so many sites, or limit how many people can book the weekend. When I went, only about half were being used and it was still very crowded. Not sure what their future plans are, but hopefully they concentrate more on things to do instead of getting more people in there.

4 generations attended our Halloween weekend at Jellystone Park. There was something for everyone, roomy campsites and helpful staff. It was a great weekend and we made lots of wonderful memories.Noteworthy details: Campground, not hotel

What a great time!! Our tent site was shady and very good size. This was my grandchildrens first camping trip and we all had a blast! Caught some great bass in the pond, the pools were clean and plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate and it was nice to see the water being tested throughout the day to ensure safe water levels. The playgrounds were amazing, just like the friendly and helpful staff from the moment we walked in until we left. the golf carts were fun and very handy to get around with the kids and stuff to bring to the beach and pool. Can t wait to go back and start a new tradition.

My fianc�, son and I had a blast this last week at Jellystone. The water park is awesome. You can kill hours there and you ll have as much fun as the kids. You can watch your child play from the seats which is huge when you run out of steam lol.Yes the cabin area was a bit under construction but we were all together so that was good enough for us! I m sure it ll look beautiful when it s all done most likely by next summer. The cabin itself was great. My kid loved the loft. Exactly what we needed. Fire, AC and good company is all you need to have a great time. My fianc� and I were saying we ll def be back with our kids and family. Bring your own cleaning products.It was cooler out one of the days so we took advantage and went to Plymouth Rock nearby and did the museum then came back and had a fire. Staff has been nice.If you want to do the gem mining I recommend buying a bag as soon as you get there for whenever you plan on going throughout your stay because if they run out, it s like a week wait for them to get more. Literally only downside we experienced.If you re low maintenance, aren t going to nit pick everything, are looking to get away with the kids and have them be entertained the whole time, this is a great spot in the north east.

We stayed 4 nights and while the cabin was beautiful we will not be back. The staff is extremely rude and unfriendly. They cannot be bothered to help you. I asked to stay another night because my kids were having so much fun and the girls up front didn't even bother to look it up they just told me they were "booked" because they didn't know how to book it without honoring the 2 night minimum in a different cabin...even though we have been here all week. I go to look up on the website for availability and they have 2 cabins available that I needed for my accommodations.Another huge downfall is that they close everything at 7pm when the staff leaves for the night. Yes, there is no staff here after 7pm. When asked what to do if there is an emergency they told us "call 911". The kids were playing on the basketball court and they came at 7pm to lock up the balls! The snack shack is only open 3-7, the pool 11-7.The 2 star rating is based solely on the cabin and pool area.We are locals and I will never recommend anyone to stay here.

Just spent a few days and we had a blast!Waterpark area is SOO FUN and awesome! All of us, all ages, had so much fun. Cleanest one I've ever been to.Fishing pond was cool and the turtles were so cute!Park is awesome and new!The new cabins look awesome and I think when that area is done it'll be really cute.My only downsides... night time was crazyyy mosquitoes. I think from being close to bog so just layer up and spray up!Also, I feel like the water area was sooo amazing but they're building sooo many cabins. I think if the park was at capacity with all they're building, it would feel really crowded. I'm curious to see how it is next year!

I visited my sister who was staying here and we used the water park . It was awesome,I have arthritis in my knee and the steps going up to waterslide was very easy to go up. The depth of pool was great to . So much fun . Cabins are so neat looking to . Would love to stay here myself.
