Last weekend was for our grandson and to enjoy time with the kids and our granddaughter as well. We usually camp near lakes so we can take our fishing boat. But decided to check out Jellystone for the grandson. We all had a great time. All of the folks that work there were wonderful and accommodating. Bathrooms were very clean and sites were nice. There was plenty of activities to keep us busy. Since we only live 30 minutes away, we definitely plan on making this park a regular at least a couple times per season.Nearby activities: We all took the grands to Dinosaur World and Kentucky Down underWalkability: Plenty of roads to walk on and everything is close by.

Great park, I will definitely be back. The puppies loved it and my brother's kids loved the play ground. Caught a few fish also.My only 2 complaints is the camp store. closes early so make sure you have enough firewood. And the have a 3 pet limit per site so my brother had to claim my 4th fur baby.Definitely will be back again.Nearby activities: Mammoth cave, Kentucky down under.Safety: They have fencing and safety rails in play ground area.Walkability: Great park to walk around with multiple sanitation stations and restroomsFood & drinks: They have a restaurant in there camp store. They also have camp convenient items.

Great place to take the family and we do every summer for my daughter’s birthday week. Friendly staff but only reason it’s not 5 stars is because a few things were closed down for renovations last time and we weren’t told at time of reservation. Hopefully this year is better!Nearby activities: Lots of caves and place to visit with the whole family and kids love dinosaur worldSafety: Kids are safe to walk around some or bike ride without parents hoveringFood & drinks: Food and drinks inside store onsite but we always stop at the local grocery store or Walmart before checking in

Check-in was quick and easy. Mostly pull-through spots for campers of all lengths. We stayed Sunday through Wednesday in April which was clearly still in the off-season, but cabins/golf cart rentals/dog park/bath houses/playgrounds/outdoor game areas/swimming beach were all ready for the main season!

It was wonderful with bathroom and sink area separate in back bedroom.No closets, had pegs to hang clothes. Just 2 hooks in bathroom. I left a over the door closet hanger for the next guest to use.Only problem we seen ants on kitchen sink area when fixing supper. Heard a mouse in front bedroom/kitchen area under bed at night. Be sure and keep all food put up and sealed.Service was fast and friendly. They came asap to fix a light switch in bathroom. Open 24 hours for service!!Porch, fire pit and grill outside was great. Parking right in front of cabin a big plus.Nice play ground and fun pillow bounces.Only one key given so that was a bit of a hassle.Nice friendly safe placeNearby activities: Close to Mammoth Cave and other caves. Five minutes from Alpine slide, horse rides and chair lift.

Fantastic! Yogi Bear. We were driving from Ohio, and we were tired, and the guy at the gas station recommended this park, so we gave it a try. It was late in the afternoon, and we didn't have a reservation, so I was willing to beg, but instead, they treated us like royalty despite it being late, and they had already closed. Yet, they were genuinely friendly and happy that we were there. Those ladies are stellar. The premises are beautiful there is a lot of green and water and it's very secure. Nonetheless, the real treasure is the staff.Nearby activities: There are many activities for young people and children but it's very entertaining for adults as well and the camping area and cabins are not close to where the activities happen so you can choose to be there or stay quiet at your spot.Safety: Super secure, they patrol, and there is a gate to where the guests sleep.Food & drinks: You MUST order their thin crust pizza! Sublime!!!!

Pedal cars were mostly broken, the bathhouse close to our camper had 2 of 4 showers broken. The shower I could use ran out of hot water half was through so I had to wash my legs in very cold water (9:30pm I was the only person around). The camp store was clean and nice but extremely overpriced. We left a day early due to cold & bad weather, they didn’t refund our last day……I understand that may be policy but it’s also a fantastic way to loose a customer for life. I can go 1/4 mile in either direction and find a different campground. ALSO IF YOU RENT A GOLF CART DO IT FOR JUST 1 DAY AT A TIME. They don’t refund that either so if you had to leave early they just keep your $100/day. Again I understand policy but I also understand customer service and a simple refund for what we didn’t use would have gone a long way in our decision to come back or not. We will NEVER go back to this campground.

A little pricey but well worth every penny . So I guess what I'm saying is . You think it's expensive until you and everyone start talking about all the fun you had .

The day before our trip they sent an email explaining a policy change that happened in January….i was never notified of this pet change until 3pm the day before we left for the campground which was a Saturday so no way to get ahold of the vet to get the paperwork they were requesting, talked to the manager Brandy and she cleared me until I could contact the vet on Monday. Upon checkin the girls at the desk (Mercedes) got really snotty with me about not really supposed to let us in to the park due to missing documentation, o explained to her that I spoke to the manager and she ok’d it, so she allowed us to stay, while her face said she didn’t believe us and her attitude wasn’t much better. We were notified at 10am on Friday (the day before we were scheduled to leave) that the water would be off in the entire park for 20 min, due to weather and ticks galore we decided to leave a day early, and when we left at 12:30, the water was still not on and they refused to refund us any money for the golf cart that we returned a day early and didn’t give us any refund on the site even tho we had no water for over 2 hours. We will not return to this park, which is disappointing since our kids really enjoy the jellystone parks typically.

Huge rv park, lots of activities for kids, including ceramics and others! Convenient to all the caves. And interstate 65. Lots of cabins for rent. Some sites are all concrete, and many have concrete patios. Only one detractor, people on golf carts can be annoying.
This is our first time staying at JellyStone with our family of 5. Overall if we were being honest the park is a 4. The excuse we would get during our stay is “it’s the beginning of the season” when something would t be the way it should be. I will say when something was questionable or not quite right a staff member was made awake and a staff member from said department was dispatched to handle the situation.Pedal carts are falling apart or flat tiresBathrooms not very clean(need pressure washed and or repainted)Misinformation among staff(inexperience/lack of training with the younger staff)In closing the instructions want you to download multiple app for the park and it seems a lot to toggle. The emails/website tell you to do one thing while the staff say things like “oh we have never heard of that or RSVP’s aren’t necessary(well it shows it right here on the email/app)Wi-Fi is very spottyDog poop in our site but it was quickly taken care of by a very friendly staff member.

Woulf be a 5 star if you would enforce the speed limit within the park. Too many people allowed to drive way too fast especially after dark.
