Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Six Flags

Plenty of activities for the kids. Campground was nice, the staff was friendly, and the kids didn't want to leave. Plus is really close to Six Flags.

We sold our house and went full-time RV. My wife and I needed to find a place near where we lived so we could both finish our jobs until we retired. We had hoped to stay two months, but on May 1 we lost our monthly rate when the park went to in-season rates - $55 per night.

The park itself was very nice. When we first arrived we were put in a very narrow site that was not very level with retaining walls on both sides - up and one down. We asked if we could move to a different location. The staff was very accommodating and allowed us to move to side #8 which was much larger and more level.

This is a great place for kids. Yogi Bear made appearances and it is right next to Six Flags in Eureka, MO. There were Easter egg hunts, a miniature golf course, and a train ride, as well as golf cart and bike rentals.

The bath houses were clean and the laundry room was excellent. The wifi provided by the park was very good and we were able to stream movies.

The staff was really terrific and were very helpful with a couple of challenges we had.

I would highly recommend Jellystone Park for a quick or extended stay.

Stayed here July 2019 to go to Six Flags which is very close.

Check in is at 3p. Roads are narrow. Sites (most of them) are narrow back ins. There are a handful of pull thru’s. My main issue is that most of the “sites” are pre-fab cabins. Lots of them. They are spaced in and out of the handful of RV sites. The people in the cabins (I suspect) are not RVers and do not understand basic RV courtesy, I.e., walking through your site, and most frustrating, actually parking in your site. (See photo). So, yeah, I’ll try the KOA if I’m ever back in the area.

The dangerous incline entrance to rv park on top of a steep hill is a no go. I was sweating bullets as an experienced 5th wheel hauler. Narrow paths to drive rv with low hanging branches would make anyone’s blood pressure go up.

The great pool and kids experiences (cost extra) does not justify the 67.00 plus a night. ALL sites ( except 3) are on steep terraces that have declines at back of rv lot we are in. Thank God our Granddaughter is 7 and knows to stick close to us. If you have little ones, too much vehicle traffic with fast golf carts you can rent. Many sites are rentable cottages that are stacked on top of each other.

For price and dangerous entrance and narrow too close for comfort sites I would rather go down the road to the KOA.

Campsites were extremely tiny. We couldn't even pull our canopy all the way out without nearly hitting the neighbors camper. Parking is limited to a 5 foot wide spot in front of your camper. Neighbors fire pit was nearly under our side out.

Pros: Jellystone park is great for kids, pool, organized activities for kids, mini golf, little train & “hay” rides around the campground multiple times per day, plus you get to meet Yogi. Little store & snack shop, plus an arcade game room. Staff was great, always helpful. Close to Six Flags - you get to hear the fireworks every night.
Cons: The park is on a hilltop with narrow roads, it’s steep. Lots of camper cabins, not as many RV sites. All the RV sites are gravel, close (real close) together, nothing is level, some spots you are going to need a pile of blocks to get level. One gentlemen said that his auto leveling kept faulting out on him.
