This is a park for families as the previous comments relate. My rating would have been higher if we had children with us. The RV sites are not laid out well, and the access roads are very narrow. Large oaks provide welcomed shade, but made navigating a trailer a little difficult. Not all sites have 50 amp service. The WiFi was very strong at our site. We stayed on a weekend, and it was completely full. If possible, I recommend staying during the week or wait until after Labor Day. The staff were very accommodating and polite. The park is in the country so come with your provisions. This is not a park for adults. Children, on the other hand, will have the time of their lives. I don't like their per person add on price, they could justify a higher price to include 4 persons and have no complaints from me. They are in the process of increasing the park size by at least 50% to include a second water park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great fun for the kids! We went during their Halloween Scare Party & my son & his cousin had tons of fun! Water park & separate swimming pool. Free mini-golf, tennis, badmitton, horseshoes -- get all the equipment from the office! Petting zoo. Crafts (some cost extra). Sunday morning pancake breakfast (extra). Hayrides, Friday night movies. Expensive, as now they charge per person as well as the site fee. But for the kids -- well worth it! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Stayed her over Labor Day weekend. They required a full 3 day stay for holidays. Previous two reviews are correct. Lots of stuff for the kids. We did crafts on Sunday afternoon. Swam in the water park 2 times each day. Movies at night were nice except for the mosquitoes. Would have given them a ten but our neighbors across from us were very noisy until 1am on our 1st night and well past 11pm on the other 2 nights. I assume quite time is not strickly enforced like the brochure states. Bring you bike as it's fairly big and you can ride around. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Loved this place!!! Our two kids (ages 4 and 7) didn't want to come home! Main feature of the campground is a good-sized waterpark area for kids (and adults, too!) as well as a separate swimming pool. The kids liked the hayride and the arts/crafts session (small charge for materials) on Sunday afternoon. The owners and staff were very nice, friendly people. Park is kept very clean. We will definitely go again!! Must check out the virtual tour on their webpage! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Your kids will absolutely love this park! There are plenty of things to keep them busy .. tennis and basketball courts, mini golf, petting zoo, hayrides, fishing, outdoor movie at night, all day planned activities on Saturdays and, best of all, the waterpark. The store and gift shop carry a very good selection of things without over charging. The newly built bathrooms and showers are clean and private. There are a few long timers but they are to one side of the park. Would have given it 10 stars but, in my opinion, the playground needs to be updated We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is an excellent place to take children. We took our 3 year old granddaughter, and she had a wonderful time. The water park is geared for all ages, but especially nice for small children. They also have an adults only pool. They have nightly outdoor movies, hayrides, and planned activities on the weekends. All the staff is friendly and very helpful. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has been upgraded since last year, and is worth the stay. They have just opened a new water park for the kids, have an adult pool 18 years and older. New animals at the zoo, restored their put-put green. They have alot of activities for the kids and grown ups. This is a nice place to get away, even have fishing and log cabins to rent. If you have kids or just want to get away, this is a nice spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has had reviews in the past and was listed as being in Hempstead, TX. although it is close, it has a Waller address. About 2 years ago new owners took over and have made drastic improvements. There is a waterpark, fishing lake, hayrides, and various other planned avtivities for kids. They have a wide range of sites to accomodate everything from large motorhomes to tents as well as cabin rentals. There are still some improvements to be made like additional shower and bathroom facilities and a renovation of the playground and mini golf course. The RV sites are in need of better definition as they are grass and dirt and not well defined and can create problems getting level. All in all this is a great place for kids and the staff is friendly for the most part. I would have applied a better rating if the sites had been better arranged. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our third trip to Jellystone. Although it's not my first choice, our two young daughters love it. This trip proved to be worse than our previous ones because Yogi was not there (he usually raises the flag and this weekend was touted to be special as the kids were supposed to have "breakfast with Yogi.") They always show a movie on an outdoor screen for the kids and we were very displeased at their choice to show a PG-13 film to a group of children who were all probably under 10. I got a apology from Jellystone's corporate headquarters but I'm not sure if we'll ever go back to this particular park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We made reservations to stay at this park for my daughter's birthday. We went to the park to check it out since we live within driving distance and told the owners/staff that we wanted to drive trhough to make sure we reserved the right area in the campground. They were very rude and told us that we had 10 minutes and they would be watching for our car. They also said that they better not see us drive over 5 mph. It was vastly overcrowded, can not have a campfire at your site, the staff was rude, the place looked trashy. Maybe I'm spoiled on state parks. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
