Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Golden Valley — Reviews

The park was beautiful and all of the staff were eager to help and very friendly. They went out of their way to make us happy. We enjoyed all the activities for kids. A golf cart is a must the campground has tons of hills. Camping spots are big and roomy and appears to have great places to also tent camp. We will be back!

The staff is super helpful and friendly. I was there for 3 weeks in early November. The campground was nearly empty but I felt safe and the staff was available every morning if I needed anything. Definitely, would stay here again.

The campground was one of our favorites! Clean and so much to do and see. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My kids loved it and def want to come back in summer to enjoy all the activities. But the view of the leaves and mountains were breathtaking!

The events at Golden Valley have drastically gone down hill. The staff this past trip were very rude on. What used to be a multiple times a year for us camp spot will likely not be a repeat again due to our latest experience.

Enjoyed our time….. first time coming to golden valley and enjoyed it for sure ….. hope to make it at least an annual trip… prices for everything were very fair and thought all the restaurants and activities were awesome as well!!! Thanks!

Very kid oriented! Staff was great and grounds were well maintained.

The park looks really nice and most of the staff seem to really enjoy being at work. However, we were not aware that we came during "off season" at which there was nothing but the pool open.... Not even the store! So, we found out we were overcharged during check-in after 3pm and were told we would have a limited time credit of $xx dollars. Well, they knew the store was closed until the following Friday and we were only there from Sunday til' Tuesday 11am... Kind of a scam if you ask me. On top of that, we basically had to beg and were treated like we were putting some people out of their way just to let our kids do some of the activities. Make sure you call beforehand so that you know that everything is closed EXCEPT the pool... there is no dining, no activities, etc., just the pool. We had to clean up the animal hair that was in the cabin before letting our service dog in, there are NO linens which we found out at check-in, etc., kind of a crappy way to start the vacation and a lot of money spent for two nights ($500+) for almost no amenities, activities, or basic linens. Not to mention the wasps we had to kill and that I was stung by in our cabin. All-in-all, we will not be back :( This was the 2nd time here and this time was pretty dang crummy. Other military families that we ran into felt the same way like it was a total waste of money... especially when there were several people working just riding around constantly zooming by in the golf carts. The store should have been open... food/dining at the least should have been available... Just, make sure you call ahead.

This park is wonderful. We arrived on Friday. No golf carts available to rent on Friday night when we got there. I had only rented a golf cart for Saturday and Sunday night when booking. You need a golf cart to get get around this large park. We camped in our 36 foot travel trailer and our site was very spacious in the 100 section. The site was a little uneven but we were able to level up easily. There is no cable hookup and very poor reception for over the air channels. I would recommend them adding cable to the RV sites. There are plenty of cabins for rent, hundreds of them. The cabins appear to be new and are like tiny homes. They do have trash pickup at your site, just leave it at the curb. The sites all have a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill. There is so much to do here you can’t do it all in a day. We were there at the end of August, which is after their peak season. The water park, cafe, store…. all close at 3:00 on Sunday. It would have been nice for those to be open a little later on Sunday. Most campers left Sunday morning, but there were still plenty there until Monday morning. Everything is packed with people on Saturday!! The playground and bounce pillow close at dusk. This time of the year that is a little too early. Lights would be nice and open a little later. We celebrated my daughter’s 5th birthday, and she had a GREAT time!! We will be back!!
