LOUDON, Tenn., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reservations are now open for the 2025 season at the new Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort on Watts Bar Lake, just 45 minutes southwest of Knoxville, Tennessee. Opening February 7, this new luxury campground and RV park offers an ideal lakeside getaway for families looking to create lasting memories.

Great Escapes Water Zone

Guests will be delighted by a wide range of both exciting and relaxing amenities, including two resort-style pools – perfect for cooling off or lounging in the sun – and an interactive, multi-level water zone with slides and water cannons. The pet-friendly park also features a jumping pillow for endless bouncing fun, as well as courts for basketball, pickleball and gaga ball.

Nestled along the picturesque Watts Bar Lake, the park offers luxury glamping cabins equipped with full kitchens, bathrooms, linens, air conditioning and flat panel TVs. Spacious RV sites provide full hook-ups and spectacular views.

Of course, Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear and Boo Boo will be on hand to welcome the first visitors and interact with kids and grown-ups alike. Organized activities from arts and crafts to wagon rides will keep everyone entertained all day long.

The resort’s restaurant will serve up kid favorites, including pizza, nachos, fries, chicken tenders and homemade ice cream. The camp store will be stocked with essential supplies, food and souvenirs.
