Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park

The cottage we are staying at is nice and cozy, and they have a few activities for the kids like a train ride, waking up yogi bear, a arcade, and activities for kids to do at different intervals throughout the day, they also have a general store you can buy a few things from, but if you need Walmart is down the road like 5 minutes away, the staff are super nice and friendly. all in all, I definitely would do this again.

We've come to expect cleanliness, friendly service, and good locations from Jellystone Parks. This park checks those boxes. You will hear the interstate noise day and night but it's not unbearable in a self contained unit. Can't imagine it though in a tent or fold down! There isn't much grass for walking the woofers so be prepared to walk a bit if you have a picky pooch. The sites are close together, but this type of campground is more about a destination and not so much about quiet and relaxing in solitude. The camp store is well stocked with simple items you may forget or suddenly need. The pool looked clean and refreshing. Staff was friendly and a pleasure to chat with. You can get the large campers into the full hookup sites pretty easy. I'm sure it's very busy during prime tourist season. The sunsets are great from the store area looking over the forest valley below! It's a 30 minute drive into downtown St Louis to the arch.

Camp sites were clean but close together (like most Jellystone parks). Staff were very helpful and even help you back into your site if you would like help.

You will hear the highway near by all day and all night long (And an occasional train). Not a big deal but something to be aware of. Possibly use ear plugs if sensitive to it for sleep.

A few important notes:
-Little grass around the park can make dogs annoyed
-Campground is tight and could be crazy during peek season
-The park is on a hill so you may have to rent a golf cart if you have difficulty walking up hills to the pool

This was our first time camping at Jellystone and we will be coming back! This place is amazing. Our kids could run all over and the staff were so patient and accommodating. Annie (the camp dog) is the most precious animal (sorry, Yogi). There were endless activities, a clean sparkling pool, mini-golf and other sports, boats games, a general store, just so much. We tent camped, but they also have cabins and cottages. Couldn't have asked for a better place. 20-30 minutes from downtown St. Louis. We want to try all the locations now.
