Jellystone Park™ Gardiner

Families with children gravitate to this activity-packed resort along the Wallkill River in Gardiner, where a waterpark with slides and splash areas anchors the recreation offerings. The 80-foot maximum RV length accommodates big rigs on level concrete pads, with full hookups including 50-amp electrical service available at premium sites.

The campground operates with constant activity and movement during peak season. Kids gather at playgrounds by 8 AM and remain active until around 10:30 PM, creating a lively atmosphere throughout the day. Matt S. found his Riverfront Red Carpet site "spacious, level, waterfront, and partially shaded thanks to some mature trees." Sites vary significantly in privacy, with some campers reporting frequent foot traffic through their areas.

Activities include a jumping pillow, Gaga pit, basketball court, multiple playgrounds, and an outdoor theater area scattered across the paved park roads. The camp store stocks food and camping supplies, while local vendors bring fresh baked goods on-site. A game room and rental options for golf carts and hot tubs add convenience for families. WiFi connectivity receives consistent complaints from campers, and cell service can be spotty.

Bathroom facilities present ongoing challenges, particularly in the tent camping areas where campers report long waits for showers and maintenance issues. Elizabeth M. noted "very few for the number of sites and people it covers" and recommended the park "add more bathrooms." Tent sites on the opposite side of the road from the river lack shade and can become uncomfortably hot on sunny days.

Book well in advance for summer weekends, as the park fills to capacity during peak season with families seeking the full resort experience.
