What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors generally find Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Hagerstown to be a fun-filled destination, especially for families, with a popular water park and engaging character activities. However, some guests have encountered issues with cabin cleanliness and maintenance, as well as occasional problems with water park operations and staff attitude.
"We stayed here for several days in July. The site was nice and flat, large enough for a big tent. Water and electric were conveniently located. The private bathrooms/showers looked like they were recently renovated, but in the sweltering summer heat they had very little air circulation and felt like humid steam room hot boxes.
The waterpark was fun but they were only running one slide at a time, which made for a long line. Most of the interactive features of the lazy river were disabled, but the giant water cannon was so cool. The splash pad section is VERY cool. Some of the lifeguards had a bad attitude and were quite rude.
The activities and crafts, character meet ups, tractor ride and laser tag were fun. Most of the staff were very friendly.
Overall this was a very nice campground and we really enjoyed it!"

"Park is very large, lots going on. Halloween weekend was a lot of fun. The park needs to do a better job with people speeding!!! Gets out of hand sometimes. Would stay again but for the price I do expect it all to be handled correctly."
Scott Mogar
"The location of the campground was great! Our family enjoyed the water park and cruising around the grounds on a golf cart. We arrived on firework night, and it was a great show!
A major setback to our experience was the cabin. The mattress that was in the main room was so uncomfortable. You could feel every spring and the mattress was sunken in a good amount. My husband and I woke in pain throughout each night. The bathroom was another issue. While I understand this is camping, I don't think the bathroom floor
Should have black mold. We felt it necessary to cover our feet while indoors, otherwise the bottom of our feet would be disgusting.
Upon reaching out after our visit, the campground wasn't much help. They apologized, however, offered no compensation."
