“We are thrilled that USA TODAY readers ranked several Jellystone Park campgrounds among the best in the nation,” said Trent Hershenson, vice president of marketing for Cincinnati-based Camp Jellystone, which franchises more than 75 Jellystone Park locations across the U.S. and Canada. “These rankings not only reflect the tremendous popularity of Jellystone Park locations across the country, but the efforts of our franchisees to continually improve their parks, which encourages families to return to Jellystone Park locations each year to continue creating great family memories.”

USA TODAY’s top-ranked Jellystone Park locations have each made major improvements in recent years.

The Pelahatchie location now features a pool, water slide, splashground, sandy beach, mini golf, laser tag, human foosball, and many more attractions in addition to a wealth of daily organized activities and interactions with Yogi Bear costumed characters.

The Cave City location recently completed an expansion that included construction of a 2.3-acre man-made lake with a sandy beach. U.S. News & World Report named the Jellystone Park at Mammoth Cave one of “The 8 Coolest Campgrounds for Families” in 2016 and the Travel Channel named it one of the 10 best campgrounds for families in 2015. 

The Jellystone Park in Caledonia has also continued to make improvements. It’s in the process of adding a third swimming pool to complement its existing activity pool, giant water slides, and Yogi Bear’s Picnic Splash water play area.

Jellystone Park locations are famous for their fun attractions, organized family activities and theme weekends filled with plentiful interactions with Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, Cindy Bear and Ranger Smith.
