Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Golden Valley

7 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Golden Valley sits in the foothills of western North Carolina near Bostic, operated as a large-scale private resort with a focus on family activities rather than backcountry access. The park runs on a golf cart trail system that connects its many areas, and renters should know the terrain is hilly throughout. Site #408, noted by one reviewer, is level and tree-backed, with modern, well-maintained bathhouses on the grounds.

Activities here skew toward structured recreation. The water park and swimming pond draw the most attention across reviews, with gem mining, minigolf, a rollercoaster, crafts, kayaking, laser tag, and fishing rounding out the schedule. Not all amenities operate year-round. One reviewer noted that a Memorial Day visit found most features closed except the pool and lake, so timing matters. On-site food options have drawn criticism for price and quality, though the ice cream counter gets consistent praise. Bringing your own groceries is the practical move.

RV sites accommodate rigs up to 65 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, and WiFi is available. Cabins are also available for rent, including options along the creek. "Golf carts are a must to get around since the campground is so big," one camper noted. One 2025 review flagged maintenance issues in a cabin rental and difficulty reaching staff after hours, so it is worth confirming current conditions before booking.

Campers looking for a quieter or more nature-focused stay in the area might consider Starlight Hills Campground to the east, or GOLDENSTONE CAMP a short distance northeast, both of which offer a different character from this resort-style park. Those researching camping near Bostic will find several options across the surrounding area.

Disgusting with horrible customer service. Scam!

Checked in around 6:00. The guy checking us in told us that the golf carts haven’t been working on hills(the whole place is hills) and to let it cool down for 10 minutes at a time if it overheats. We go to the cabin, which is littered outside with used baby wipes, get settled in, and by 8:10 realize the kitchen is infested with ants. Dozens of ants covering the appliances, counters, and kitchen sink. We asked for help and were told that maintenance would come to our cabin. They never showed up. We called the emergency line and it didn’t work, just put us in an endless loop and then hung up on us. Over and over again. We stayed that night because what other choice did we have? No one was available to help us with literally anything. Following morning, we pack up our stuff and tell the staff we’re leaving and all of our issues and ask for a refund on the room we spent 15 reluctant, ant-filled hours in. They escalate to a manager, and then tell us that another manager will call us“shortly”. The call never came. You don’t get what you pay for here. What’s advertised is a complete lie. You pay for a full kitchen? Too bad—you can’t cook or even store food here because there’s ants everywhere. Paid several hundred dollars for a golf cart to get around? It only works when it wants to. Call the emergency line for assistance? Yeah right! We spent$2k and they’re trying to dodge us for a refund. Disgusting place, disgusting behavior.

Kid Paradise

We took the grandkids to the Bostic, NC Jellystone in mid-July. They had a fabulous time. The RV site we had was #408. It was perfectly level and roomy with trees behind us. The bathrooms/showers are modern and spotless. We could only get a two night reservation, but that was enough. The kids (10 and 11) played so hard they were exhausted. It's a huge park with a system of golf cart trails that connect everything. The kids thought that was as exciting as the water park and the swimming pond. After having been there - I'd say a golf cart rental is a requirement. Despite the nearly 100 degree temps, the staff and other campers were cheerful and friendly. The kids made several friends. We didn't have time to do the crafts, but they looked fun. They loved the rollercoaster and minigolf. It's a good idea to bring your own food, as the options there aren't well-rated and expensive, but the ice cream was great. The only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer.

Saved my family from a tough spot

We had an accident after checking out, they came and picked us up and took care of us while the vehicle was repaired. Can't say enough nice things about the staff. My children loved this place and the many things to do. My only gripes are the hiking maps are no good, and if you go during off season, plan for a lot of the amenities to be closed. We went memorial day and the few days after most of the amenities were closed except pool and the lake. When everything is open it's amazing

So many activities!

This was our second trip to Yogi Golden Valley but the first trip with our new camper. We had a wonderful weekend! My family rented a cabin on the creek. Golf carts are a must to get around since the campground is so big! The kids enjoyed the water park, putt putt, gem mining, fishing, crafts and tie dying shirts. There were several activities we didn’t get a chance to do this trip (kayak, laser tag and the playground). We will definitely be back! It’s within an hour drive for us and you can’t beat it!

Amazing

Awesome place! Been here a few times now. Has tons of activities for the kids. Fantastic pool with a pool side bar. Great cabins for rent with great views. Can be a little pricey but well worth it.
