For Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp-Resort-Mill Run: We came into Jellystone on our way from Missouri to Boston, hanging out for a three night stay and to visit Fallingwater. The staff there is very friendly and helpful (most of the seasonal youngsters not so much😬.) We came in late, in the dark, with our just 32’ coach and were escorted to our premium site atop the hill. After a rather tricky leveling experience we were set and went to sleep. The next day, we felt to be one of the lucky ones as far as leveling goes. As others have mentioned in previous reviews, the entire campground is on the side of a huge hill! Nothing is “levelâ€. Be sure to bring leveling blocks with you (they’re almost 80% more expensive on site than on Amazon)-you’re gonna need them.
Beyond that, the campground is well organized and huge with tons of fun for kids of all ages and well worth the pretty high price. If you don’t have kids, there’s still lots of things to do. It’s not a quiet place by any stretch-fire truck rides, army transport rides, tractor pulls all around the campground-keep things hopping, along with the numerous rented golf carts (recommended-see campground on side of mountain), two swimming pools, paintball, etc.
Back to the staff, though... Everyone was really helpful and happy to do so. We had tickets to Fallingwater, 3.5 miles up the road, and figured we’d call an Uber. The park is surrounded by conservation land, though. No Uber, no Lyft, no taxis. No problem! One of the staffers offered to drive us and pick us up on the flip side!
All in all a great experience. I gave a 4-star rating only because I couldn’t give a full 5 stars based on price.

For Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp-Resort-Mill Run: We stayed here one night as we were traveling through after visiting Fallingwaters. Nothing special here, especially given the very high price ($80).
We needed a pull through site and were escorted by golf cate to the site. The escort left. The sewer hook up was being used by the person in the next site. They had pulled in "backward" so they would be facing their friends in an adjoining site. OK, we're just here for the night so no big deal. When hooking up the electric there was no service. Not OK, especially given the cost. Staffers in golf carts were cruising around so I stopped one and asked for help. They don't carry radios so they dashed off to find someone. After a couple visits an electrician showed up - impressive that they had someone on site. While I was waiting I located another site and asked to move there. The electrician was very helpful and got us moved to a site with all hookups working and available.
I rate this a two because, for a premium price, I expect a better managed and maintained campground.

For Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp-Resort-Mill Run: This Jellystone has all the amenities for kids that you'd expect at a Jellystone so for that, I'd give it 4-5 stars. They are very "separated" though in that the pool and slides are on the complete other side of the campground from the playground and snowless tube rides. This is a very hilly campground with gravel roads and LOTS of potential for kids to get hurt riding their bikes so be cautious. The sites are large and easy to get in to but one huge complaint I have about my site (455) is that the sewer drain is LITERALLY up hill!! I've never seen this set up at a campground. It drains, but very, very slowly. Water hookup is good and electric is average to below average (about 117v) Phone reception is below average (Verizon) but expected for this geographic area. No Wifi at my site at all. Overall not bad but not one of the better Jellystone's I've been to. I would stay again though if I wanted to visit this area.
