We don't normally go to Yogi Bear Jellystones because I think they are way to expensive and almost everything they have there costs extra money except the pools and bounce pillows and stuff. This year Paul got back from Afghanistan at the end of April and then he applied to the Maryland State Police Dept and if he got in he was going to be in a live in academy for 6 months right through summer. With this in mind we didn't make any concrete camping plans so that we didn't loss money. On top of that He was transferred and made FADO in the fire dept so he lost all of his vacation picks anyway. So needless to say we did a lot of last minute planning and couldn't get into a lot of the places we love to go to like Rocky Gap. So the first place we headed to was Jellystone. It's about an hour drive from our house so we had plenty of time to pack up the camper and take our time. So a left around noon with dog and bunny in tow and stopped at the local Cracker Barrel for some good down home cooking before we got on the road for real. When we know that we are going to be stopping for an extended period of time with Elle and Cal (dog, bunny) with us we make sure to bring the spare key for the truck so they can stay in the A/C while we get food we also try to get done ASAP.
Jellystones are expensive but they are always a nice place to go, always clean and the staff is very nice. This particular one we went to when the kids were little, they have a nice size water park, splash zone and 2 big pools and a family and an adult hot tub. You can also rent cabanas that have ,a table, chairs, a fan, mini fridge, and a TV, but they were way to expensive. The park also has 2 bounce pillows, an arcade, botchy ball court, volleyball, playground, and escape room. For an extra fee they also have laser tag.
We had a really spacious site and we liked it so much we decided to book the one next to it for Halloween with some friends that also have a camper. In true Perry family vacation fashion we got there and got the camper all set up and in rained. It poured for about an hour, while it rained we got the inside of the camper organized and just hung out. Nothing much to do outside in the rain. They close the pool as soon as they hear thunder so there wasn't any good reason to go there. That night we had hot dogs for dinner
