Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
While I love this campground because it is not far from me and is a very clean campground their prices have gone crazy. Along with the price increase they charge a lock in fee. When I call and ask if a site is available and am told yes and I book it I shouldn't have to pay a fee to lock it. It was available and I booked it. It is no longer available. And on top of all that there are extra curricular activities that are charged for. We do not partake in any amenities and feel we shouldn't pay the same price as those that do and have suggested to management to have separate prices for those wishing to use the amenities. This could be regulated with different colored wristbands. Very simple. The campground is causing families with multiple children to turn away from this wholesome vacation.

Thanks for the review and feedback, B4519ZMkarenm. While we understand your frustrations, we do feel that offering a chance to lock in your site for a small fee is a perk to our campers. Consider when you book a hotel room - you know you're booking a Deluxe King but you don't know if your room will be near the elevator or ice machine. With our lock-in option, guests can guarantee the site they want. As far as the activities, mostly all of our activities are included in your stay. Since we are a family camp-resort, we really do not have too many guests visiting that don't take advantage of the activities and amenities. We will keep your suggestion in mind though!

We had a blast there as a family, aside from the fact that cabin did not live up to our expectations.
Pros 😍 We loved the daily program with all kinds of kid activities happening every hour. We thoroughly enjoyed the glow stick dance party followed by a movie under the stars 😍 Water activities are plentiful. The main one was really busy all day long, but the kiddie pool was surprisingly always empty 😍 Rent a golf cart - 150% recommend that thing! Easy to get in and out of, doesn’t go faster than 5 miles per hour so the kids don’t need to be buckled. It was our 2 year old’s favorite activity about the vacation- to ride around the campsite and people watch. 😍 Food and treats are reasonably priced. We had 3 cups of ice cream and it totaled to $11 - huge scoops with toppings. Can’t beat that! 😍 They have a store on site for groceries and other items like grill utensils, swimwear, flip flops 🤩 This place is seriously targeted to make your kids really happy. Go for it! It’s a perfect birthday gift for a child.
Cons 🥲 Our cabin was filthy! There was nothing luxury about our ‘Luxury Cabin’. In fact, it lacked the most basic things like soap and towels. The dish rack was gross so I didn’t even bother to use it. We let our 9 month old baby to crawl on the floor, and when we picked her up her little feet were grey. I mean, that floor had not been mopped in years. The futon cover and beds in generals had stains all over so much so that I covered everything with our picnic blankets so my little ones don’t touch that grossness 🥲 When they mean ‘no linens’ that means no pillows, blankets, towels, nothing at all. Those are bare beds. I wish I had picked that up from the reviews. We had to go shopping at Walmart for pillows and blankets (did bring our sheets) and then wash them (laundry available on site and the machines accept credit cards) 🥲 If you have littles, keep in mind that music at certain campsites maybe blasting until 11 pm. Good luck sleeping! Certainly bring plenty noise machines 🥲 There we’re issues with electricity going out during the day and at night. May have been related to rain.

Thank you for the feedback. We are happy to hear that you had a great time! In regards to your cabin, guests must bring their own personal items, like soap and towels. Unless you rent our linens (which comes with towels, sheets, pillows), this is not included when you arrive at your cabin. We will definitely look into how we can better enforce our quiet hours at 11pm. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We hope to welcome you back next season.

Despite a variety of weather including rain, cold and lots of strong winds the camping trip was great. The grandchildren enjoyed the weekend activities. The staff were very helpful and accommodating and made sure that campsites were cleaned as soon as other campers left. Staff is also to be commended for quickly handling an unfortunate situation with a group of campers that occupied several nearby cabins.

We booked a cabin at Jellystone in December. Price for 3 nights--$606. Our friends who were originally going to tent camp, decided to move to a cabin because of the cold weather. This was the end of April. They were upgraded to a two room, 3 bed cabin with a small kitchen and screened porch for about half of what we prepaid. No, we didn't talk to the office about this because we could tell that this was a very corporate run property. All rules, no flexibility.
We think they should also have bare necessities. Soap, a plate, bowl, utensils, paper towels. But you have to bring everything.
We felt ripped off for the high prices despite most of the amenities being closed, either for COVID or the time of year. I would not stay here again.

Hi Judy - we are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your stay. All cabins are priced differently. We also have dynamic pricing similar to the airline and hotel industry, where rates tend to change. Our cabins come with the basic necessities, like toilet paper and pots & pans. We don't provide everything because many of our campers like to maintain that "camping feel" while glamping. Many of our attractions are open, the only ones that are not are our water attractions due to the cold. We apologize for any confusion! In the future, we always recommend speaking to a manager during your stay so we can solve the problem right away. Despite this, we hope to welcome you back in the future so we can show you all that we have to offer!

Has lots of potential but could use some TLC. Bathrooms, pavilions, golf course are run down. Seems to be many staff members riding around on golf carts but not actually doing anything. The pools are over crowded ( despite many available sites) and kids will not give up a tube for the water slides to people waiting in line. They just keep bypassing the people in line and using the slide over and over. I will say that the lifeguards are very attentive and enforce the no running/horseplay rules. Also, the week we stayed the water slides were only open 3-7, this was not advertised. My kids only got a couple runs on the slide over 4 days. Everyday is filled with planned activities but most of them cost extra $ despite the high nightly rate. This is our first Jellystone stay and for the price I am not impressed.

We visited Jellystone Williamsport for a weekend in a Cozy Cabin. We rented a cabin adjacent to friends and had to pay an upcharge to guarantee location, which seems petty, but we decided to go for it to be near each other. The cabin was super cute, though very tiny and not very clean. Our coffee pot had old, moldy coffee in it and the bathroom was grimy. For two nights, it was comfortable enough since we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. We really likes the spacing of the cabins. We didn't feel cramped, there was nice shade, and enough space for camp chairs around the fire. The campground had a nice large pool and waterpark area that the kids loved. They also enjoyed the Gaga pits and mini golf. We really liked having so many amenities on site. Park rules were enforced - the park was clean, quiet hours were adhered to, and people were respectful of others. We would return.

Our first time at this camp-resort. We stayed in the high end four bedroom cabin because we like having our space (3 adults, 2 seniors, one teen, one toddler) and it was wonderful. Really liked the outdoor furniture around the fire pit. The camp has many fun things to do for all ages. I have to really compliment the staff, from check-in to departure everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. This was perfect for a family vacation and we will return.

All in all we loved our time at Jellystone. The cabin was great. Clean, large, comfortable beds. The kids loved the loft and the bedroom was perfectly serviceable.
What we didn't read and is important to know is:
We ordered sheets for the Queen bed but didn't realize that there were no pillows for other beds without ordering them. We ran out to Dollar General and purchased them cheaper than renting from Jellystone because we didn't need sheets just pillows.
No toiletries are supplied. Fro $250 per night that's simply cheap of them. It was in the email but we missed it.
Same with the dishes. They supply dishes but no soap or sponge. How are we to clean things? Again in the email but so cheap.
Firewood must be purchased, which is fine. BUT it is crazy expensive, also understandable. But it isn't dry which is completely unacceptable. If I am paying $24 for some wood give me dried split wood.
I took notes for our next trip to Jellystone because in general we had a fantastic weekend. Loved the Glamping style of the cabins and the mix with nature.

We decided to book a basic cabin at Yogibear Williamsport and being our first time staying in a cabin, we were very surprised at how comfortable it was. I was afraid the mattresses were going to be uncomfortable since they are not your regular mattress, but they were sturdy enough to allow for a good night's sleep. The cabin came with space heaters, an A/C unit (which we did not need to use) and a ceiling fan. The cabin was also equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We found the campsite grounds to be clean at all times. Staff would drive by throughout the day to pick up your trash. The bathrooms must have been constantly cleaned because we never saw it messy. One neat thing was that they also had more "private" bathroom/shower units in 2 areas of the park. Depending on where you stayed, it could be a little bit of a walk, but given the comfort of more privacy, to me it was worth it. The kids enjoyed both the pool and water zone, the laser tag (extra)and the boot camp (extra). The food at the canteen was good and not overpriced. Overall, we had an amazing time!
