July 17th-19th. We very much enjoyed our weekend getaway to Yogi Bear. The waterpark is the main attraction but the kids also enjoyed the craft activities, jumping pillow, outdoor movie theater and go carts. The campground is expensive ($88 per night for a water/electric site for pop-up) but that price includes the waterpark. All craft activities cost extra $$. We also had BooBoo Bear come to our campsite for extra $$ to help us celebrate my husbands birthday. The kids loved that and it was a great photo opp.
The campground is very clean. Bathrooms were clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Our site (#65) wasn't large but was perfectly located to the playground, pavillion, lake and water park. Check in is at 3:00pm but for an extra $10.00 you can check in at 1:00pm.
We used the water park all weekend and even opted to pay an extra $10.00 to use it after check out. We parked our camper in their parking lot but then realized that we had no where to go with our dog. (Animals are not allowed in the waterpark). Problem solved, we found an empty cabin next to the water park and put our dog on the covered porch with a bowl of water. He was only a few feet away from us and we could sit in the water park and comfortably keep an eye on him. When the dog was discovered by the owner of the campground he was not happy to see the dog there, but reluctantly agreed to let him stay and saw the need for a dog sitting service. So, when you visit Yogi Bear Campground next year and they have a new dog sitting service it was inspired by our dog, Chase.
Tips: If you are visiting during a busy weekend, make sure you go to the waterpark when it opens (11:00am) and save a table and chairs for yourself by putting your towels and bags down otherwise you will have a hard time finding a place to sit.
Happy Camping,
The Stefanelli Family
