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!

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.).

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.
