Yogi's Camping Corner

For several decades, Yogi Bear™ and his friends have camped in Jellystone Park. One of the things he loves most is helping Ranger Smith make Jellystone Park a family friendly place for parents to bring their kids to enjoy camping, being outdoors and enjoying some family time together. As children participate in the planned activities at the park, they meet other families and build bonds and possibly friendships that will last long after their summer vacation is over.

Yogi Bear and Jellystone Park bring families together to experience the outdoors while relaxing and enjoying their surroundings. The park has a wide variety of amenities to capture everyone’s interests such as:

• Pick any week to come to Jellystone Park and you know there will be a theme that will entertain your kids while they are staying with us:
  • Have your family come prepared to participate in all aspects of Yogi's Trip to Outer Space and have your children decorate your site for the occasion and be ready to blast off with activities specially designed with them in mind.
  • Come to celebrate Christmas in July by decorating your site and take part in the spirit that everyone in the park brings with them throughout the year. Activities may include such things as decorating ornaments, making Christmas cards or a scavenger hunt for the whole family.
• Of course families can also explore other activities on the park.
  • You can go bike riding or rent our peddle carts and have a family outing.
    
    
  • Make up a pool game to play with the kids.
    
    
  • Stay out late and build a campfire to make s’mores and tell stories.
    
    
  • Come to the outdoor movie with the other campers.

The Kansas City area also provides opportunity for visitors to enjoy a wide variety of activities. The historical downtown area of Lawrence, Kansas has dozens of fun shops for everyone's taste. Whatever you want to shop for – downtown Lawrence has it. The restaurants are world class as well. The local cuisine provides diners with its staple barbeque as well as several other tasty choices.

The University of Kansas is also located just minutes away from the campground. This college town has everything from its championship athletic department to a night at the theatre. The energy of this community is contagious so be ready to have a good time no matter what your interests.
