COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort just north of Columbus is making a big splash with a stunning new resort-style pool, luxury lakeside cabanas and new upscale glamping cabins – all just in time for the summer family vacation season.
Convenient to Columbus, Delaware, Marion and Mansfield, the resort is less than two hours from Cleveland and Dayton. Cincinnati is only two-and-a-half hours away.
“We’ve combined the best of camping with new luxury resort-style amenities and accommodations that are going to thrill both kids and parents,” said Co-General Manager Kaycee Butt. “With the stunning scenery, it’s the perfect backdrop for a fun filled vacation that creates memories lasting a lifetime.”
Of course, bear sightings are common, as Yogi Bear, Boo Boo and Cindy Bear along with Ranger Smith – and all the fun activities families have come to love – remain part of the Columbus North Jellystone Park experience.
Great Escapes RV Resorts bought the location in 2021 and began updating and expanding it, with the goal of creating a next generation luxury family camping destination. Considered among the most beautiful Jellystone Park locations in the country, the pristine Camp-Resort is set on a gorgeous lake that features a beach, water slide, swimming, recently expanded Wibit floating obstacle course, fishing, swan boats and the beautiful new cabanas.
30 new luxury glamping cabins are just steps away. Sleeping up to eight, they offer all the comforts of home, including air conditioning, private bathrooms, complete kitchens and hotel quality furnishings.
During the off-season, all RV sites were updated and now include full hook ups.
Other recent enhancements include:
- New dog park
- New jumping pad
- New water volleyball area
- New activity center for arts and crafts and live entertainment
- New food truck and ice cream truck
Families this summer will be able to enjoy a full schedule of fun, ranging from train rides to themed celebrations, such as Neon Nights and Tie Dye Delights, featuring an evening glow parade and late night glow swim.
The resort also offers opportunities for kids to learn about camping and the outdoors. “Many kids have never camped until they visit Jellystone Park,” said Co-General Manager Jodie Holava. “I love seeing them hike our trails and explore nature!” Holava added that the resort has a program that teaches essential outdoor skills with the goal of encouraging young people to become lifelong camping enthusiasts.
