Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Golden Valley, NC

"This campground is absolutely beautiful!! The bathrooms are clean and the area around it is clean as well. Everything is very well maintained. The staff is very helpful, and willing to go above and beyond for all the guests at the park. We have stayed here twice now, and plan on going back. Recommend get a golf cart to tour the entire park and all the spectacular views. The alpine coaster is also a fun to do."

"We enjoyed all of the amenities Jellystone provided. The only thing we wish we could change would be the pricing of the golf carts. If you have children with you, you pretty much need to rent a golf cart since some of the cabins are far away from everything. I can't imagine walking everywhere with small children. $50/day for a golf cart is pretty pricey for us. Also, the food a Scout's table is overpriced for the type of food and quality it is served at. Otherwise, Jellystone was great! Very clean cabin, pool areas, etc."

"We stayed here in July, and it was the best family staycation we've taken yet! The camp is a little over an hour away from Charlotte. We stayed in a beautiful log cabin right across from the lake. Every activity is planned around the kids, and most are included in your stay. Great for young kids too as my son had just turned four. Staff are friendly and helpful. The property is very well maintained. Our cabin was very clean. An added bonus is that our dog was able to join us on this trip and she could stay in the pet-friendly cabin with the cool AC blasting while we were busy during the day. I would recommend renting a golf cart to get around because the camp is very big - plus you can join the nightly parades! Needless to say, we will be returning next summer!"

"This place is great. We have been twice and my family loves it. The cabins are great and there are so many activities. My kids can play on the fibit all day. The staff is amazingly helpful. Our dog got out once and they helped us track him down in the woods. Can’t say enough good stuff. Definitely go"

"Had our first trip there this weekend. We loved it. The staff we encountered was great with the exception of check in and the young lady didn’t seem thrilled to be there but outside of that they were all wonderful. Loved our site. The property very well maintained as well as the bathhouses extremely clean. We thought the restaurant was really good for dinner but the cafe by the pool is way out priced. The amenities are also wonderful. Why the 3 stars?….well for those of us that enjoy doing lots of camping this place is just high. For us it’s not a place we would say is a regular because of pricing. If it weren’t for such high pricing it would be a once a month go to spot and probably several weeks a year. Quite a few open sites this weekend and from hearing others if pricing was lower the park would have been packed. We had friends that stayed in a small cabin for three nights that cost them over $1200 not including a golf cart and believe me you need a golf cart. Our experience was great but I have to emphasize pricing is just crazy."
