My only negative comment is about the sites. They don't appear to be too level. We were not able to level our motorhome and the owners found us a site which was level. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I believe they are still trying to work out the kinks of a fairly new RV park. The grounds are spacious and the surrounding area quiet, except for an occasional train whistle) There appears to be lots of kid/family friendly things to do here, but not at the time of year we visited, which is normal. The owner does have quite a menagerie of animals (snakes, turtles, a parrot among them) and is more than willing to show them to the children. I only hope that I will find as nice a campground as I get closer to Atlanta! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I want to say first, that the owners try very hard to please. The worst part is lack of room between each site; the sewage drain is right in front of each campsite, barely 8 ft of room between each site. Maybe in 10 years or so, once the new trees are grown somewhat and ever other site is removed, this might be a good park. First thing we noticed was that new pavement was already falling apart, Very few sites are level and the water does not run off very well in the rain. They advertise TV but only a few sites carry any TV at all. This is not the place to go in the off season. Small kids might enjoy the playground but some have nasty words engraved in the plastic. Lots of RV’s living in the rear of the back loop full time it appears. Very little in the store as far as supplies go, but the restrooms are clean. It’s pretty much just two loops in a field. This “resort” is a year old and looks already like it’s been around for years and neglected. The owner of this place needs help with maintaining the park. And even though it was the off season, at no time did we ever see a character in costume. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The kids(12 & 10) pick this campground for our Memorial Day Weekend trip and they really enjoyed it. Many activities for the kids and they did not cancel the activities due to weather. Kids loved the pool even though in my opinion it was too cool. They also loved the playgrounds. It was a very rainy weekend. We ended up leaving the night before we were supposed to due to the weather. My husband just couldn't stand sitting in the camper no longer. The sites are small. The picnic table was only a couple feet from someone's septic line (gross). The park is made up of an inner circle of campers and down the hill is the outer circle. We were on the outer circle and I was able to pick up a little signal from the WiFi at times. There is one man and woman bathroom/showers for the whole cg. Make sure you pay for the DirecTV if you do not have your own cause we were unable to pick up any channels through antenna. There is not really anything to do within a 40 min drive besides an indoor flea market (back toward Carrollton). Kids thought it was neat because they had never been to one before. If there not had not been so much rain we (husband and I) probably would have enjoyed it a lot more. We will probably return just for the kids for a quick weekend trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Phil, the owner, was so helpful for any of our needs. We decided to extend our stay and he converted our rate to a weekly rate and deducted the difference for the days we had already stayed. A mile before we got to the park we had to move off the road for emergency vehicles and the saturated ground under the tow car gave way putting the car in the ditch. Almost immediately a volunteer fireman came up behind us and directed traffic until a tow truck he called came - all the while in pouring rain. The next day, we looked up and the park owner was pressure washing the wheels on both the motorhome and car. Both the folks in this area and the staff at Jellystone are so friendly! This is a new park but sure to catch on quickly at this rate! If you in the area be sure to stay here and help them grow their business!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had originally booked this weekend for a stone mountain get away and at the last minute decided to stay at Jellystone park in Waco GA. We have a 5yr old that never stops. All of us had a great time. This park is geared for families and kids. Crafts and games for kids and adults, hay and train rides for the kids. Easy motorhome set up. I would highly recommend this park to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

LOCK YOUR STUFF UP, FOLKS!!! We were robbed of a dirtbike while staying here. Turns out the culprits hang out on the front porch of the house directly across the street from the entrance to the park and watch when you bring your stuff in. Cops were no help because 3 different teenagers were involved and kept passing it around. Owner was no help when it came to our situation and didn't help the cops with info either. We were just travelers, they were the local tax payers. Cops don't care about people passing through. They care about election votes. Owner took down our reward signs so you would feel safe, but you aren't. After they don't get caught this time, they will do it again. And taking down our signs was NOT COOL. They were only up for 2 1/2 days. According to cops these kids have been stealing for YEARS! Other than our personal experience the campground was clean for the most part. The dumpster was filled to the top or overflowing EVERY SINGLE day we were there which is gross in southern heat. The women's bathroom was not air conditioned so showers were sticky. And the hill was never mowed and you had to walk it to get to pool and lodge. But those are minor compared to our ordeal. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day visit. The owner of this campground was extremely helpful with all our needs. The park has only been open for seven months but they've done a really nice job with all the new amenities. We had our two small grandsons (4 and 2) with us and they had a fantastic time. The park has two playgrounds, two pools, a miniature golf course, and a great centrally located campground office/activity building. They operate a small train for rides through the park, and also have a large trailer for hayrides. Each night they have movies (for kids) in the main building and serve popcorn to everyone for free. Our site was nice and level, and while it wasn't paved, the gravel wasn't a problem. It's obvious that they are trying very hard to attract new business by way of word-of-mouth. We plan to return in a few months with our grandkids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice new park that will get even better as it grows. It had been raining the day we arrived and we got into some Georgia clay while pulling into our site. The owner made sure we got in our site okay and offered to power wash our tires to get the dirt off! There was plenty of room for our big rig and car. It is close to a Wal-Mart and a Love's gas station. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Brand new park that is still a little rough around the edges, but has all the makings of being a really nice park when all landscape is mature and the manager has all the bugs worked out. When we got there it had been raining and everything was really muddy, but dried out nicely by the end of the week. Big rigs sites are in lower level and it is a hike up hill to the clubhouse and all the facilities. Sites are compacted gravel with paved interior roads. Management and staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a great family campground. Lots for the children to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.
