Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Barton Lake

We brought down 2 30’ campers and we had 4 adults 3 children and two dogs and stay right next to the craft barn. It is a really nice camp ground with lots and lots for the kids to do. My son had a blast and said this was the best campground he has ever been to. My only complaint is that it is quite costly to stay.

This was my husbands, and my 2 small babies first camping trip. We chose Jellystone in Fremont Indiana because it was only an hour from our home and has so many fun family activities. We wanted to do something close by in case things went awry, I am Glad we did that. We got to the site and we had booked primitive camping. From the map online you could not tell it was directly next to an extremely busy highway. So instead of the sound of nature we heard blaring 16 wheelers for hours on end. Our campsite was not labeled with our site number so we had to guess what site we had booked. The camp sites were on a slight hill and my youngest isn’t even 2 and is accident prone. This was dangerous given the fact that the picnic table was sloped right by the fire ring for a dangerous combination. Our chairs were unsteady and sitting around the fire in general was dangerous. We couldn’t relax at all and had to continuously be cautious of my 1.5 year old falling into the fire! It is currently June and the temps are high which we expected but the heat combined with the highway traffic at night led to no sleep for our children or us. Not to mention at 10:30 construction vehicles pulled up right next to the campsite and began their work. By 11:15 we had had enough. We decided to go home. It was the worst 7 hour experience of our vacation history. We called the next day and relayed our experience to the registration cabin and paid to have a cabin. The point of this thread is, I personally Feel like I paid to be homeless next to a highway for the week. I am Angry, camping should not be next to a busy highway. The entrance needs to be relocated to where the primitive camping is and the camping needs to be in a more secluded area. People are paying for this experience and it was the most chaotic/ anxious trip I have ever been on. We have not experiencedthe fun activities yet because we have had such a horrible time at the actual campsite we drove home and are coming back the next day so we could actually get some sleep. When we paid for a cabin and relaid our experience the woman working registration did not even apologize for our bad experience. We were not met with any form of compassion or understanding for the chaos we paid for. If you are going to keep booking primitive camping next to a busy highway, inform your guests! Be aware of construction schedules! Know what is happening in your area for the sake of your guests and their quality experience! Do not let your park become a thing of the past because you are neglecting to remember our experiences keep us coming back!

Nice staff, really great water park, camp store / snack bar is wonderful

The park is very clean and the staff is friendly. The kids loved the activities and amenities. Full hook up, clean bathrooms for those who need it. All it needed was a hot tub for the adults and it would have been perfect! I will definitely return!

The showers and rest rooms were the bomb! Spotless ... and smelled so nice.

Laundry room was great too! We really enjoyed our stay for almost a week😀

Except for a hail storm, lol.

We wish the park was closer to home so we could go all of the time. We have met amazing people and there is so much for our daughter to do. We love Yogi!

If you are looking for lots of things to do and water fun, this is your place! Lots of scheduled activities and playgrounds available. Nothing compares to their outdoor pool areas and 2 jumping pillows. Only complaint would be that if you are planning a summer weekend you have to book wayyyyy in advance due to demand.

Nice, clean, safe, and plenty to at this place!! Love the trash pick up service! This is how a RV Resort should operate. The extra cost for some of the activities are not terribly overpriced, but is overpriced. The multiple pools are excellent. Need to plan about 6 months to a 1 year ahead to get in.

A family fun getaway. The waterpark was a huge hit to the kids. A great way to glamp!! Love they have a smaller water park for the smaller kids too! Lots of fun acativites!!

Great family campground. We came for Halloween weekend so water parks were closed but looked to be a lot of fun. Very well maintained park with good size spots. They have a lake, several pools, including an indoor pool for late in the season. We got rained out for most of the weekend but will be back during the summer. Staffs were very friendly and even though we arrived after check in they still had staff available to guide us to our site.

Have created a tradition in our family to go to Yogi every year at the end of summer! it’s a great place to swim, ride bikes, do crafts, play bingo, and a wide variety of fun activities for the whole family! It’s a little pricey but TOTALLY worth it!!

You might just step out of your camper and look straight at your neighbors. Starting to think all Jellystones are like this. 5 pools! water slides cost extra. Food prices are reasonable. No bike riding after dark. Lights at playground shut off and they will patrol it. Traffic on road can be heard at the sites near the back.

Yogi Bear JellyStone Park at Barton Lake is located in Fremont, In and to me was noisy, crowded and stressful. That being said, my daughter and granddaughter absolutely loved it, so I sucked it up and "enjoyed" it. Ultimately though it was a lot of fun spending time with them at the park.

The staff was super friendly, helpful and seemed dedicated to visitors enjoying themselves. On our last day my camper tire was low and one of them stopped what she was doing, escorted me to the maintenance garage and found one of the maintenance guys who in turn drug out the air hose and gauge attachment, checked and filled both tires then asked if I needed help with anything else.

The actually campground was packed but very well maintained and clean. There are cabins, cottages and permanent campers as well as the daily spots. We were escorted to our site, offered help with set up and soon after a gentleman showed up checked and cleaned out our fire ring.

There were multiple showerhouses, playgrounds and swimming areas. Bouncy pillows, laundry rooms and a craft shed. We rented a two seater pedal "car" and later a rowboat. It was a fun filled visit and they are looking forward to going again next year .......yea.....lol

This campsite is so much fun. It's not where I would choose to go if it were just me, but the fun they have for kids is unbeatable. They really make camping a fun experience for little ones.
