Stayed from the 12th of June to the 18th. Just want to write a wonderful review about all the great staff at this facility Jennifer at reservations is amazing and has all the answers. Josie at reservations helped us with our golf cart reservation and she's an outstanding employee very helpful. Misty and housekeeping put so much care and love to our cabins It was a complete home away from home with everything needed. The maintenance employee Ivan was so helpful with everything when our lights on our golf cart didn't work he got them working again within minutes and also came by to collect garbage several times He's an outstanding employee and deserves recognition. read more

We had a great time at Jellystone Park in Lodi with our family and friends. It's a fantastic place for kid. There was always something for them to do, and we absolutely loved our stay. Housekeeping did a good job keeping the cabin clean. I accidentally booked a pet-friendly cabin, so we did notice some pet fur on the bed, bowls, and on the doormat. Aside from that, everything was great and we had a lot of fun. Overall, it was a memorable family trip. We'll definitely be returning next year and would recommend Jellystone Park to other families looking for a fun getaway. read more

Very disappointing experience. This place feels like it is falling apart and poorly managed. If there is a manager overseeing the property, their presence is definitely not noticeable. The mini golf course is in bad condition, the cabins need repairs and updated furniture and TVs, and several of the play features at the pool are broken. The pool staff and lifeguards were also not very friendly. The water did not feel clean and had a very unpleasant smell. One of the most frustrating experiences was waiting in line for about 30 minutes under the hot sun, only to be told when it was finally our turn that the ride was closed. Staff could have easily informed people earlier instead of making families wait for nothing. Overall, many of the employees seemed like they simply did not care about the guest experience. I had much higher expectations for Jellystone, especially for a family-oriented destination, but unfortunately, we left very disappointed. The property needs significant maintenance, better management, and better customer service. read more

We haven't visited yet because some of the reviews have made us hesitant. We were excited to check this place out, but reading accounts from people who felt they were treated differently because of the color of their skin has raised concerns for our family. We want to believe everyone is welcomed and treated with respect, and we hope the business does not tolerate discrimination or racism in any form. The reviews are mixed--many guests describe positive experiences, while others share very different ones. We're still considering giving this place a chance, but we'll do so with caution. If we decide to visit, I'll update this review to reflect our own firsthand experience. We go many places based off of reading the reviews. read more

Honest Review - Great Potential, But Some Frustrating Misses (3.5/5) We recently stayed at Jellystone Park in Lodi, CA, and overall I'd give it a 3.5/5. This isn't a bad review -- we had fun, the kids loved it, and I'd probably give it another chance -- but there were enough issues that I think an honest review is fair. First, credit where it's due: the cabins were exactly as described online. Their website does a great job telling you what to expect, including that you need to bring your own linens and toiletries. I'm glad I read everything ahead of time because we packed accordingly. Check-in was smooth. The cabin was decently clean, though when we walked in it smelled like someone had weaponized bleach. I appreciated knowing things were sanitized... unfortunately once that faded, the cabin had a pretty unpleasant smell my kids lovingly described as "urine and rot." We immediately headed to the water park, only to get kicked out of the lazy river after about two rotations because apparently it closes very early. Maybe I missed that online, but I genuinely don't understand why one of the main attractions -- and one of the few things adults can really enjoy -- closes so early while you're paying full resort prices. That kind of set the tone: a lot of confusion. You get handed an information pamphlet, but somehow it answers very little. Some attractions had posted hours, some didn't. Some looked open but weren't. Mini golf? Laser tag? Arcade? It felt like a scavenger hunt trying to figure out what was actually available. I called the front desk asking about the arcade. No answer. Tried checking online, except WiFi wasn't working and cell service was spotty. After calling maintenance, I learned some cabins just don't have WiFi, which would've been nice to know beforehand since that also makes the TV basically useless. Eventually the arcade opened after multiple trips back and forth. Unfortunately it looked pretty rough. Sparse prizes, dead bugs in machines, and one prize chute had a spider fully moved in and thriving. Honestly? Respect. Live your truth, little king. And yes, technically this is camping... but let's be honest -- this is glamping. We came for convenience, the water park, and activities. Unfortunately, the water park itself was rough. Several play structures were broken, the pools were cloudy, there was food floating around, and overall it was pretty clear maintenance is not keeping up. I want to be clear though: I do not blame the staff. In fact, most of the staff were wonderful and seemed like they were doing their best while working with facilities that clearly aren't being maintained properly. Special shoutout to the ice cream employees who were easily the happiest people there and super friendly. The restaurant honestly surprised us in the best way. I ordered a pickle margarita (10/10, no notes). The next day the bartender looked terrified making another because apparently they barely had ingredients left, but she absolutely nailed it. My boyfriend got the steak bowl, I had fish and chips, and both were genuinely great. The market employees were helpful enough, but those prices were painful. Bring your own snacks and essentials unless you enjoy financial suffering. The kids had an amazing time, which honestly matters most. They loved gem mining, gaga ball, and the jumping pillow. By the end of the trip, my boyfriend and I were debating whether we'd return... meanwhile the kids were already planning next summer and asking for a bigger cabin. I'll probably give Jellystone another chance. But management seriously needs to invest back into this park. The staff deserves more support, the facilities need maintenance, and this place has the potential to be an amazing family destination. Right now, though, it feels less like they're building toward that potential... and more like they're slowly letting it fall apart. Fun trip? Yes. Would I come back? Probably. Needs major improvement? Absolutely. read more

Jellystone Park Resort in Lodi, CA, has some issues for RVs. The signage is poor, and the campground entrance is hard to find. This place isn't worth their prices! Paved sites are extra, and the narrow gravel and dirt areas make leveling difficult. We booked "premium RV/tent" the back-in sites are tight, and accessing the fire pit is challenging due to the presence of tents and close neighboring RVs. The picnic tables are rotting and need replacement. Maintenance workers mow the weeds and weed whack the sites at 8 am, which is disruptive given the gravel and dirt conditions. Happy Camper Road near the sites is in poor condition and needs repaving. This weekend, a large block party with loud music, peeps smoking weed, and many people caused overcrowding and conflicts with neighbors close space. The arcade was closed, the water park is overcrowded, and there's no lifeguard on duty. Despite these issues, the grandkids had a blast, and there's a play area, water park, and miniature golf course for entertainment. read more

I had such high hopes for this place given we love family adventure and love camping. Leaving feeling disappointment - we definitely won't return. We rented a loft cabin for 2 nights and it came out to just shy of $1k. Definitely a splurge for "glamping" but hey, why not give it a try. You absolutely do NOT get what you pay for. Almost $500 a night (including taxes) and you don't even get sheets, pillows, shampoo, conditioner, basic utensils like tongs or stirring spoons. If you want to add sheets, a very basic blanket, and 2 pillows, you need to pay $25 per room! Bahahaha, I can't help but laugh you guys. They also don't make the bed for you, they bring it in a plastic bag and you do it yourself. The cabins are crammed next to each other and you are basically hanging out in a parking lot. Those poor campers are camping on GRAVEL. The pool situation is overcrowded with lines to get into the lazy river, not enough lounge chairs or even an umbrella in sight. We had to lay our chairs on concrete. The only redeeming quality of this property is the restaurant (get the fish and chips), the arcade (which I didn't even want to do because it's camping), and the views of the delta. I'll end with the staff and checkin process. EVERY hotel and campground I have ever stayed at lets you check in early if your room/ campsite is available. Not here! They basically usher cars into an extremely long line and make every single car and person wait until 3:30 creating a cluster f*ck of congestion and chaos. The staff is beyond unfriendly - these kids barely even smile or look at you when you're talking to them. Customer service matters! This place however is raking it in because the place was swarming with people. Clearly people like it but it's definitely a miss for us. read more

We came here recently for a 3-day, 2 night stay during spring break during the week so the water park was closed, but we still had a great time. There weren't a lot of people so that was nice. Our cozy cottage had a kitchen, which I paid extra to have so that things would be easier. I like that it's safe for kids to play outside and roam about. We made the best of it even though the water park was closed. Cabin camping is the way to go for me! We still get the experience without the griminess. lol. The kids spent most of the time in the pool so that worked out. I liked that there is a food truck by the pool since kids like to stay there all day. Overall, we had a great time and would come back again. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The family atmosphere made it worth the trip. read more

This place is not bad for what it is...its lightweight camping thats good for families and perfect for first timer outdoors experiencers(like for those who are not adventurous but qho wanna try and see how it works for them. Lol) First real tip for any beginner campers or cabiners: If you think you will need it or there is something from home that helps you stay comfortable away from home...Pack It and BRING IT! Im talking favorite meal(s), shampoo/conditioner, that pillow, that blanket, extra chairs, BT speaker, floatie device, crocpot, whatever...pack it in the trunk, if u use it cool, if not, its there just in case this may take the 'camping' aspect away but like i said, this place is for beginers or for folks who dont wanna rought it. I mean, its a good place to get away tho for families. Its a good chance to get away from the device life and that office you are stuck in and able to reconnect with how things used to be. Theres a place to fish, go boating, walk around...bring a bicycle and roam around a bit...change the scene of your everyday. Theres a restaurant on site if you wanna pay for a sit down meal. Their little uce cream parlor is good for kids on that hot day. The pool is a great hangout for the whole family and the waterpark is a good add on if you are there for the weekend I recommend you rent the golf cart so you dont have to walk from place to place the whole stay. If needed...theres an exit 10 mins away off the freeway at stockton where theres a whole shopping and dining plaza. Overall thought. I liked this place and the family had a good staycation here. I think 2 days is enough for what it is, you get homesick pretty quick. Come during off peak season like spring break...summer is suppisedly hectic and busy read more

We rented one of their cabins for three days and had an awesome time. Jennifer, in the front office, was so helpful, kind and patient. Our grandson had a mishap, and we had to leave a day early, and she even called to check on him! We appreciated the cleanliness and welcoming attitudes of each employee we came into contact with, the available activities like laser tag and tie dye t-shirts as well as the convenient restaurant. Altogether the trip was a huge success, but Jennifer remains our Superstar for sure! read more

I'm absolutely shocked that this place has such praises for reviews, because I am absolutely positive we will never camp at this location again. There are so many things wrong with it. First and foremost the campsites near the cabins are so small it makes pulling the trailer in and out dang near impossible because the cars parked on the opposite side of the road for the cabins. It's so tight and so uncomfortable you can constantly hear the music, the conversations, and the daily life of EVERYONE around you. With that being said, there seems to be zero accountability for the staff of making sure the people coming in/staying at the campground even paid for a site. There were over a dozen cars surrounding one cabin across from our campsite, and not a single one of those cars had a parking tag, so I'm gonna make my best judgement and assume they didn't pay to be here. Which is insane because the price of this campsite was NOT cheap. This large group of individuals blasted their music well into the night, and smoked an enormous amount of weed that we could not even enjoy being outside to have a campfire, cook, or enjoy our meals because of the smell and because of the noise. Of course that is not the fault of the staff, but without checking for paying vehicles and without anyone doing anything about it, it completely destroyed the experience. There was no also no accountability of rules in regards to the campsite, especially in e-bikes and in the waterpark, so why bother having them at all? The roads and the walking paths were covered in garbage. All in on, not worth the money by a LONG shot. Could not enjoy basic camping activities, the mini golf course green was ripped up and torn/raised in multiple locations, the waterpark was great with the exception of being small in regards to how many people are actually staying at a campsite. There were so little chairs people were bringing in their own campsite chairs JUST to be able to sit down. There was no shade, the pool itself water was so murky and cloudy and crowded we didn't bother attempting it. The ONLY plus was that our children enjoyed the "waterpark". With all that being said, I would not recommend this campsite to a single individual, and again I am so completely shocked by the praises for this place. It was overcrowded, overwhelming, no set boundaries of rules, and a complete waste of money. read more

Thank you to all the staff at jellystone! My family and I were last week we booked back in March and Amanda was so helpful in getting us the cabin we wanted after seeing it wasn't available and had a fantastic time! It was the first time doing something like that we our toddler and she had a BLAST! We stayed in cabin 266 (highly recommended! Everything was a walk away) and enjoyed our hot tub every evening! We went Wednesday-Friday (&& during non peak season, highly recommended looking up what is open the days you are there so you won't be as surprised as we were) HOWEVER Jennifer was so amazing the day of check in when we called to see if we could have an early check in, she took amazing care of us, was so accommodating && even more awesome in Person! Big thank you to Jennifer, Misty & Amanda, and all the team at Jellystone your hospitality was greatly appreciated and NOTED! We look forward to see you guys again! read more

Had a fantastic time at the park. We were greeted with excitement and care when we arrived by a super star named Anthony at the reservation center.

Big props to Anthony! read more

Jellystone Park Tower Park - ....and found out that were smarter than the average bear. :) - Campgrounds Near Me - Lodi, California

We've come here every year while my kids were young enough to enjoy the park, despite the large list of shortcomings, we have only returned because my kids love it here. They are constantly understaffed leaving the grounds filthy, have rude office staff, poor quality housekeeping and a lack of food on the grounds. The last time we stayed we arrived early ( the website says they allow it and we called ahead to make sure we could arrive early) our cabin was not ready yet ( no biggie, I totally understand ) it was a weekday and there were very very few at the park. We were told ( as were several others who arrived at the same time " you can not check in early, and you You Can NOT use the pool until you've checked in at 4pm". We've always been able to use the pool when we arrive early , which helps kill time until check-in at 4pm. I responded back to the office 3 times to check on our cabin, and each time there was a pissed off guest yelling about not being able to check in despite there being so few people at the park, or not being able to use the pool, despite very few people being at the pool. I was going to say the office staff was rude, but if I'm being honest, I would get defensive too if I got yelled at every day for upholding a new company policy that is so Unfriendly and Inconvenient to guests. Jellystone Yogi Bear Park Management / owners.... DO BETTER FOR YOUR GUESTS. YOUR NEW POLICY WHICH PREVENTS GUESTS FROM DOING ANYTHING IF THEY ARRIVES EARLY IS EXTREMELY RUDE, AGAINST WHAT THE WEBSITE SAYS AND IS AT ODDS TO WHAT YOUR STAFF SAYS ON THE PHONE WHEN PEOPLE CALL AHEAD. I can't wait for my kids to grow up so I'll never have to return to this place. DO BETTER JELLYSTONE MANAGEMENT. YOUR POLICIES CAUSE YOUR UNDERSTAFFED AND LIKELY UNDER PAID OFFICE EMPLOYEES TO GET YELLED AT DAILY, AND IM POSITIVE THEY DONT GET PAID ENOUGH TO PUT UP WITH UPHOLDING YOUR POOLY FORMED POLICIES....... Oh and WiFi was available some days and 100% not available other days Even on Slow days we had zero WiFi and couldn't watch anything while staying In a cabin. This was Never an issue in the past, even on busy summer days, so this is definitely yet another New Problem with this shorty park read more

Totally not what we expected - never again. We stayed at Jellystone Tower Park for three nights, and honestly... it was rough. We were hoping for a nice camping experience, but it ended up being a huge disappointment. The only thing that made the stay slightly bearable was a really sweet lady named Niki at the front desk -- thank you, Niki! But seriously, that's where the good stuff ends. I don't know what I had in mind, but I definitely imagined a more green, grassy campground. What we got was rocks. Like actual gravel everywhere. We set up our tents on top of it, and I swear there were bigger rocks underneath -- we struggled so much trying to get the stakes in, and in some spots we just gave up. The bottom of our tents got ruined from all that. The electric and water hookup was also just... strange and honestly felt unsafe. It was one slim post, with the outlets and breakers on the back at the top, and a water faucet on the front, down low. Water was dripping constantly and the ground was wet. Water and electricity were way too close together. I've been told this kind of setup might even violate basic outdoor safety standards. Especially with kids running around, it made us really uncomfortable. And again -- this setup might work for RVs, but if you're camping in a tent, good luck. There's nowhere to wash dishes, no dedicated sink or cleaning area. If you don't have a trailer or a rig, you're basically left to figure it out on your own. The bathrooms were awful. I've never seen showers this gross. Everything felt dirty -- not just used, but like it hadn't been properly cleaned in ages. We only saw someone clean once in three days. The shower curtains had moldy pink stains, and there were just random items left stuck to the walls that no one ever removed. The accessible shower was unlocked, but the water didn't even work, so it was useless. And the showers were push-button, with water running for maybe 30 seconds before you had to press again -- and yes, it's as annoying as it sounds in a dirty space. The pool? So cloudy we didn't even touch it. I've never seen water that murky in a public pool. My 7-year-old daughter and her friend swam in it, but honestly, we were nervous the entire time. Still hoping nobody gets sick. Trash pickup is supposed to happen at 8 AM and 8 PM -- that's what the rules said. But no one came. We left our trash out at 7 PM and it was still there the next morning. A random staff member picked it up around 9:30 AM like it was a lucky accident. If an animal had gotten to it overnight, it would've been a total mess. We came hoping for a fun trip in nature with our kids, but it ended up being stressful, dirty, and just honestly not worth the trouble. If you're tent camping -- or have young kids -- I seriously recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I'v been staying here at the first rv campground during the time my house is getting work done. It wasn't a vacation type stay. But, regardless, they do not take care of the grounds during the winter. There are guys driving around doing this and that, so I asked one if they would be doing any cleanup. He said they are short staffed. So I called Jennifer, who said she oversees the ground maintenance staff, and I asked her about the grounds and she said she would get on it asap. Next thing you know I have 5 guys blowing leaves, weed whacking the grass at my trailer, sucking up the leaves by a huge machine, all told they were outside my and neighbors trailers for FOUR HOURS. I'm not sure if that was on purpose to shut me up or what. But, it wasn't pleasant. read more

Just left Yogi Bear Jellystone after a 4-day stay celebrating my niece's 2nd birthday. I've been a loyal customer since 2021 and have recommended this place to countless friends and family. Today on Father's Day, I took my 4-year-old daughter to the pool. There was a white man sitting at the edge of the pool with his wife. My daughter accidentally splashed him while playing in the water. She's 4 years old. Instead of acting like an adult, he looked at my daughter and yelled, "Get the f* away and go over there, damn!" She immediately got scared and started crying. As her mother, I defended my child. My husband and 18-year-old son came over after hearing the commotion and seeing my daughter upset. The man wearing the MAGA hat then called staff and claimed he had been attacked. Staff showed up with police officers and told only OUR family to leave. We were never allowed to tell our side of the story. When I asked why we were being removed, I was told they didn't have to give me an explanation. What made the situation even worse was the behavior of managers Jen and Kathy. They were extremely rude, dismissive, and disrespectful toward our family. At no point did they ask for our side of the story, speak with witnesses, or show any concern for my crying 4-year-old daughter. Instead, they immediately sided with the man who had just cursed at a child. What made it worse was watching staff laughing and joking with him while we were being kicked out. There were witnesses who saw exactly what happened and were shocked by the decision, yet nobody asked them what they saw. A grown man cursed at my 4-year-old daughter, made her cry, and somehow my family was the one asked to leave. As a Latino family, we left feeling completely dismissed and unheard. We were never given the opportunity to tell our side of the story, while the white man who cursed at my 4-year-old daughter was allowed to stay. With witnesses present, staff still refused to hear our side and instead laughed and joked with him while removing our family. The way Jen and Kathy handled this situation made us feel singled out and treated unfairly. Because of the way we were treated, we felt racism played a role in how this situation was handled. Whether Jellystone wants to acknowledge it or not, that is how this experience felt to our family. No family should ever leave feeling targeted, unheard, or discriminated against because of their ethnicity. read more

My family had visited here previously in June 2021 and had such a great experience that we decided to return from June 1-5, 2026. Unfortunately, this visit did not live up to our previous experience. Monday was uneventful as we arrived and settled into our bungalow. The biggest issues started on Tuesday. My family walked to the water park and noticed several buses arriving. We soon learned the park had scheduled an 8th-grade trip with approximately 400 students. While I understand businesses host groups, the size of this event created an environment that felt completely different from the family-friendly experience we expected. Throughout the day we witnessed students using profanity, behaving aggressively, and generally creating a chaotic atmosphere. My children, who are 11, 9, 7, and 4 years old, repeatedly came back to us saying they were uncomfortable with the language and behavior they were hearing. We also observed rough play in the pools, including situations where students were holding each other underwater. We also witnessed a male and female student attempting to go into the bathroom together. Imagine the potential legal consequences. What frustrated me most was the inconsistency in supervision. My 11-year-old daughter was corrected by lifeguards on two separate occasions for floating on her back because it was supposedly unsafe, yet much more concerning behavior from the students appeared to go largely unchecked. When I raised my concerns with management, I was told this was the first time they had attempted an event of this size and that there were simply too many students. While management did provide us with a complimentary cabana, that did not change the overall experience. The head lifeguard also gave us vouchers for free ice cream as a gesture of goodwill. However, when we went to redeem them, we were told they could not be accepted. After spending thousands of dollars on this trip, that interaction only added to our frustration. Wednesday was generally a better day. My main issue involved the tie-dye activity. My daughter originally selected one item but changed her mind before the activity began and wanted another item that appeared to be the same price. We were told we would need to purchase the second item despite the equal cost. Additionally, many food and beverage options near the water park remained unavailable following the large school event the previous day. Thursday started well but ended with another disappointing experience. Around 4 p.m., my family was floating in the lazy river when I clearly overheard two male lifeguards having a conversation. One made a comment about "banging" a guest's wife. My daughter heard the remark as well. Whether the employee was joking or being serious, it was highly inappropriate language to be used in a family-oriented environment where children were present. By that point, the various issues throughout the week had begun to add up. I also decided to mention another concern that had become increasingly noticeable during our stay. A large number of the interactive water features throughout the water park were not operational. Out of roughly 42 water cannons, sprayers, and other attractions, about 19 were not functioning. One attraction even appeared to have caution tape around it due to an electrical issue, yet the area was not effectively blocked off. I understand that maintenance costs money and that repairs cannot always happen immediately. However, when guests are paying premium prices for a resort experience during peak season, they reasonably expect the attractions being advertised to be operational. Having nearly half of the interactive water features unavailable significantly impacted the overall experience. We returned expecting a similar experience to our 2021 visit and instead encountered numerous issues related to overcrowding, supervision, maintenance, and professionalism. Significant improvements would be needed before we would consider returning. Proof of visit: Confirmation R00000103945 read more

This was our second year coming and I'm so happy they got rid of the man who was in the front office/on the phones he was absolutely awful to deal with last year. This year we extended our stay and Jennifer the manager at the front desk was super accommodating and kind. This is the best place to take kids camping our site was paved and clean. There were plenty of activities to choose from daily and the bears were very friendly the main blonde lady who was the bears handler made each kid have a special experience and was so sweet to all the kids. Kathy at the duck races was super sweet and gave our girls a fun experience. The lifeguards were kind and helpful but also stayed on guard consistently. The only not so great part was unsupervised teens in the water park but you could see the lifeguards actively dealing with it so it was more of a parenting issue. I would highly recommend the paved rv/trailer sites if it's in your budget. read more

This was our third year in a row staying at Yogi Bear with a big group for a family birthday and get together. After this stay, we will be looking for a new place to stay. Our RV spot was absolutely filthy including charcoal, suntan lotion all over our cement, trash in the grass and a stained up fire pit. We chose an end spot which was one of the most if not the most expensive spots in the park. No one came in next to us the whole time, so everyone including park staff used the spot as their high speed cut through. I placed multiple phone calls to the office, which were never returned. I finally went up to the office and Jennifer *manager* was great! She got cones put up for us, although temporary it was a nice fix and she was very helpful! Honestly the only positive interaction I had with any staff members at the park. The waterpark is RUN down!! Tons of water guns were not working, the equipment is worn and needs attention. The pool has always been murky, I don't know if they don't have enough filters or what but it's cloudy within a few hours of opening yuck! There was a youth group that came in a day or two after us. These kids were allowed to be on their own, and run around the park with no regard to vehicles, golf carts or other campers. They were rude, used foul language, broke all kinds of rules at the pool....but no one in the park seemed to even care. The lack of any kind of security presence here is glaringly obvious and creating a free for all environment for unsupervised children and adults that think the park is playing baby sitter for their kids. The final straw was the last night, we had just finished dinner at the park *which was nice and I will write a separate review for them* but there were two younger women harassing the cashier at the delta market. They were recording her, and requesting a refund despite a huge sign stating no refunds on the cash register. She was literally in tears, and being accosted and the other male employee there was just standing there. I told her, along with other store patrons that she needed to call security! We had to leave and wave down the security guard for an action to take place. I really felt bad for her as the two girls and then the Mom who joined in were being so rude and disrespectful to her. I know that as a park you cannot control who comes in to the campground, but you can make a better effort enforcing and educating guests on the rules! I've stayed in 100 campgrounds, maybe more and the lack of any formal regulatory system here given the size of the park is shocking! I'm surprised there's not more issues with fighting, stealing, property damage and accidents. Sorry to say, we won't be back! read more

Jellystone Park Tower Park - Doesn't look like "red carpet" to me! - Campgrounds Near Me - Lodi, California

Jellystone park was a blast great place to take the kids the staff was wonderful very helpful definitely recommend!!

Big thanks to manager Jennifer for helping us out at check-in! She was super friendly, full of positive energy, and hooked us up with a great spot for our RV. She made everything so easy and stress-free. Because of her, we got to fully enjoy our stay -- the water park, pools, wave pool, hot tub, playground, jumping pillow, basketball courts, golf carts, bbq grill and have clean restrooms with showers which is a plus. read more

With an empty RV Park they could have let us choose a site rather than put us in a site that backs up into a cabin. We were assigned site 190. So we set up in the next site after 189. It turns out the site after 189 is site in the 200's I asked if we could stay there. They said sure for $21 more. They could have made me a fan by saying sure take the free upgrade for the night, but no, we had to get this site. I don't expect we'll be coming back. read more

The Wi-Fi can definitely improve There is no Wi-Fi connection in the entire campground. No phone access know anything you would think for the price that they charge the customers they would have some sufficient Wi-Fi in the laundry room rooms. Are all broken. I almost didn't get my money back if I didn't meet Jennifer, the lovely manager. The staff there however, were wonderful. Nice courteous, and responsive. The park itself is very old. The bathrooms are corroded. They have not fixed the air-conditioning for the arcade. How long? Now. On the good side, the waterpark is decent. The cabins are decent. The staff is wonderful. The capping experience is wonderful. Just a few drawbacks that you could be fixed read more

Update 08/29- I see that they commented here saying that they don't see a reservation under my name instead of just reaching out to me directly. I'm attaching here my receipt with my name which matches my name here on Yelp. Terrible experience. You arrive to the worst customer service you can imagine. I paid $1000 for two days and they receive you like you're the biggest burden. The TV doesn't work. When I called the front desk to check, they just said too many people were probably trying to use the wifi and that's why.. ok, if you're hosting this many people, then why don't you offer better wifi? Then on the first night, I had someone knocking at my cabin past 11pm. As a woman alone with two girls, terrifying. Second night, I get notified by my iPhone that an item is tracking my location. See the picture. Also terrifying. And then lastly, on the last day the girls were looking forward to pancakes for breakfast but the stove doesn't work. Honestly, not a surprise but disappointing. When we arrived the cabin was so dirty and after an hour my daughter's feet were completely black. We found a water bottle and soap under the bed from prior guests. Honestly for the amount of money I just spent on this, I'm very disappointed. read more

i came here for a weekend camping trip with twelve others. We camped out in tents four to be exact. The campsites come with a fire pit and picnic table. The campsites have electric boxes that you can charge your phone and there are water facets that you can use to wash your dishes. There are bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities. Water park/ pool, playground and trampoline among other activities. I enjoyed my trip, thinking about coming back with my nephew and sister. The one thing that I did not like was the campsite had gravel and pavement was uneven. The gravel was hard to walk on when I was in my tent and sleeping as well as getting up. read more

Karia was an amazing lifeguard. The kids had such a blast with her on the waterslides!!!

The 3rd time we came here. So far it's been great! Lots of things to do for the family. Had issues with the day pass and thanks to Anthony and Chris for immediately taking care of us. Customer service here is wonderful and highly recommend. read more
