We had a wonderful time here over the Memorial Day weekend! Although certain restrictions were in place due to COVID-19, the employees went out of their way to make it a fun experience! Campground was fully booked, but surprisingly quiet. We have come here several times and this was the first time we stayed in the "new" rv area they added up on the hill. Out spot was #100 and had a great view! Level and full hookups. Plenty of room for our 31ft class c and Mini! Price was a bit steep, but it was a holiday weekend. Employees were great! read more

Most disappointed by booking snafu that was revealed when we checked in on June 7 2026. Despite being assured on the phone that our reservation for that week was in a handicapped assist cabin, no such reservation was recorded. Only a regular cabin was reserved for us. "Oh , the notes say we'd get a disabled assist cabin if it was available when we arrived. Sorry about that." Only recourse is money back with no place to go. Hey, we know there are limited such availabilities in parks like this, but if you can't book us FOR SURE, just tell us. We'll go somewhere else. Instead, my wife struggled up our cabin stairs for five days. The camp staff was polite and friendly but this was a really difficult situation. read more

Family of 6 stayed in a loft cabin and had the best time! Our kids loved the activities and it was so nice to be surrounded by the trees and mountains. Everyone we encountered was very friendly! We will be back. read more

Positives: Beautiful location. Lots of kids activities. Great staff. Negative: Restroom/Shower bldg was disgusting! I probably will look for a different campground next Estes Park visit. read more

We have been here several times before and had a good experience, so it was a surprise when we didn't this time. The mattress pad & mattress I slept in the first night we stayed were covered in old urine (and something else), which was not from me or anyone in my family, and was discovered after I requested a sheet change the next morning. After speaking to the front desk, housekeeping & maintenance came to switch out the mattress. The General Manager showed up as well. GM verbally agreed to credit our stay, which we understood to be our entire stay (which would have been the appropriate resolution). GM later stated she told us a percentage would be credited (she didn't) and credited less than the amount of one night's stay, because they "don't give credits." Then tried to give us Yogi Rewards points (as if I'd stay there again at this point). Corporate has been unhelpful as well. Camp also smelled like trash & feces the entire time we were there. The quality has absolutely gone down hill, which is extremely disappointing. read more

This place was decent to stay for the places we wanted to go in the area. Much of the activities are geared towards little kids. Our kids 8 & up did enjoy the jump pad and mini golf. Standard sites were pretty small compared to others we stayed at. Nice view of nearby mountains. Not the friendly staff but did help when needed. Overall ok place and probably better if you want activities for younger kids. The dance party was very annoying in the pavilion that never ended but we were able to block out most the sound in our camper. Probably will not go back but it met our needs as a place to sleep for our time in this area. read more

I had a reservation here for today through Aug 2. As we where preparing to walk out the door I got an alert to a mandatory evacuation approx 20 miles from Jellystone due to wildfires. I tried calling no response. I assumed they were dealing with things Finally I get a call back and am told fire's not even close there will be no refund for today. I say " do you expect people to honor a reservation when a mandatory evacuation is 20 miles away? I'm told " I'm a minimum wage employee I don't expect anything." I ask for supervisor I'm told none is on property. I wait for a call First call women claiming to be general Manger but refuses to give blame tells me I am wrong. Nothing is even remotely close and I will not get a refund for today. U point out the states alert system says otherwise she responds by canceling mt whole reservation as she doesn't need "drama' She almost immediately calls back opps I guess there is a close evacuation how is she supposed to know? I live 2 hours away I knew. She then again asks what I want. I ask for today to be refunded and hopefully they will get it contained and mt family can have the rest of rheir vacation. She agrees we hang up She calls back almost immediately after reading my review of the first call and says she's canceling my whole reservation for defamation. I ask what wasn't true? No answer. She then blocks me from their Facebook so no one can see my review . So now I have to explain to my kids and grandkids the vacation they have been counting down to is canceled because the manager couldn't be bothered to keep an eye on a raging wildfire in her area and when pointed out she got angry. I'd stay away read more

Book at your own risk! Stayed at a cabin for 4 days, my wife and I got eaten alive by bedbugs... We contacted corporate they had us contact the park. They said we got them from somewhere else (hadn't stayed anywhere else for a year). My wife was nice about it, we weren't looking for anything other than an apology and them fixing the problem for future guests. They said they "checked" all the cabins and found nothing. They said they would get back to my wife but didn't. Keep driving past this horror show!!! read more

We spent a wonderful Memorial Day weekend here making memories with children and grandchildren. The staff was working hard to make sure guests were taken care of, and that did not go unnoticed. Thank you! The kids had a great time taking part in all of the planned activities, and the adults enjoyed some relaxing time too! read more

Not a happy camper. Worst customer service experience while RVing ever! Way overpriced, overrated, rundown, and gopher hole infested! I will never bring my kids or grandkids here ever! Staff are mean hearted, nasty people who couldn't give two squirts of sour owwcrappe about customer satisfaction. "We are almost always booked up to capacity during the summer months from a year and a half to even two years out...", and so, basically in not so many words, they don't really need your business. This Yogi's has definitely gone downhill since the new ownership took over. Now, all they seem to be concerned with is how can they bilk more $ from their costumers-who they obviously see as suckers! Prior to my stay, I had been considering booking here additional time, when they had they were expecting vacancy in order to further scout out the area and plan a family reunion for next year. In total, that would have been a party up to at least five or more RV's, with at least 10 adults and 8 children-not including other friends who might have also joined us. However, we will now be planning this event at a different venue. What a shame. My kids used to love going to Yogi's when they were little and we all had a great time. I was looking forward to continuing the tradition with my grandchildren, but instead we'll be starting a new tradition elsewhere. Maybe it's just this location - I hope so - but this experience has totally soured future expectations for Yogi Bear's and it's very unlikely I will ever go to another Yogi's anywhere! My advice is don't waste your money and valuable time, nor risk exposing yourself, children or little ones to these nasty surly people who obviously hate their jobs. Drive on by and go somewhere else. There are dozens if not hundreds of other far better campgrounds to visit in the Estes Park and the surrounding area. read more

I'm not understanding these great reviews. First I should say the employees who work there were extremely nice and helpful(they deserve 5 stars). The whole place is very run down and old and dirty and needs some love. The layout of the campsites is very disappointing since really no one has privacy. I understand normally campsites are right next to each other however, these sites are situated in a manner where you can look right into everyone's campsite. I constantly smelled sewer especially near the bathroom area where you play mini golf. It was unbearable! Each campsite did not have any concrete pad which was pretty upsetting and mind you I paid $158 per night!!!! This place is worth $40 in my opinion, if it had concrete slabs and a newer updated park it would be worth more. We actually even ran out of water for 1 full day, never seen that happen. The pool is tiny and a joke, the arcade was subpar. I do not recommend this place at all. You might as well either stay in a hotel in Estes park for the price they are charging or find a different place. I loved the Jellystone in Larkspur but unfortunately there isn't much to do in Larkspur. Try this place at your own risk. read more

We camped here this weekend and had a really great time as a family. This is probably my kids favorite camping spot and considering we live in Colorado, that says a lot. We stayed in the lower cozy cabins and some might feel there isn't enough privacy between them. We liked that our kids could play with the other kids in the surrounding cabins all on the basketball court. Elementary aged kids probably enjoy this location the most since it also has a small pool, bounce pad and miniature golf. The grounds were well maintained and the general store had really great customer service. It also might bother some people that the small two lane highway is a little noisy but it's convenience of being located closely to RMNP really outweighs that. Our cabin was perfect and had everything we needed read more

Gaw, I wish our experience could have been a lot better as I thought Yogi Bear has a priority of quality and entertainment. Wrong. We had a cabin that only had 5 gallons of water heater. Definitely was not aware of that, but of course all other things were advertised, just not this. Feeling cheated from our experience and investment. Called for maitenance to replace shower curtain that smelled fouled. They came in but didn't think there was a foul smell. Wish they stood for giving customers benefit of doubt. No replacement was done. How could you not have any shower replacements! Cabin we're not cleanly. This made our experience regretful. After asking for support and not receiving, we are left hopeless, knowing that this is a place who would not go above and beyond for you. Heack, will not even do the minimal. Their agenda and campsite was great. I liked all the little things they had, like mini golf, swimming pool, play areas. Just wish we had a better cabin experience. Staff were great and kind helpful. Maybe this was beyond their ability to help? But, that sure sucks for us who's trying to have a great experience with my fam. I would rest better if they specified that the cabin rentals were $40 a night and other stuff can have a price tag on it. $199 a night for this is insane and unthinkable after my experience. Ugh, feeling disappointed. I would tell people to lower their expectations should they decide on coming. You'll have less of a heartbreak and lower disappointment. I wish I read other reviews first. My experience solidifies other people who had low review of this place. They weren't being me, but truthful. read more

This is NOT like the Larkspur or Texas Jellystone. We rented an RV through them. The pictures are a bit deceiving. The sites around us were unkept, trash, insulation, old patio furniture, lumber, we're just laying around. The site we selected was not the site we received, and we had to climb up a dirt road to get to our spot. The RV is run down. The sheets didn't match the bed sizes. There were zero instructions on how to operate the heater/AC, bath room, awning, etc. The location to Estes is lovely. The amenities with putt putt, pool, fire truck ride, and jump blob were all free. Very nice given the price! I just wish the campground was in nicer shape and we would consider going back for a cabin. read more

Very nice family (and pet) friendly campground with tons of activities, Check-in was smooth and staff was there to help us navigate into our site (site 29). Our site was perfect with beautiful views and the facilities were all close by. I wish there had been more enforcement of rules -- too many dogs unleashed at campsites and sites over-crowded with multiple vehicles in addition to multiple tents/awnings. We loved having a dog park available but it needed some TLC as it was getting overgrown with tall grass and weeds and there were bowls but water was never available so be sure to bring your own. We would definitely return and you can't beat the proximity to Estes Park shops and Riverwalk as well as Rocky Mountain National Park! read more

We spent a whole week at Jellystone of Estes and had a blast. The park is similar to other Jellystones we have been to with lots of activities for the kids. The staff was very friendly. We were camped next to a couple who worked there and the gentleman was extremely helpful when we were having an issue with our hitch, he probably saved a meltdown The only issue we had was the WiFi was very spotty and would kick us off constantly, not a big issue just a little annoying. Would definitely recommend Jellystone of Estes Park to anyone camping with kids. read more

BEWARE of booking here. we planned a trip across country and because of severe heat in our prior stop, we were two days early in our stay in Estes park. we called jelly stone, which was where we planned to stay in Estes park. They couldn't fit us in (which was understandable), so we had to book at another camp ground. We we're told we'd get $0 refund. the manager would not budge on giving us any of our prepaid $450 back. She said, sometimes you loose money when you travel. So between us and the the other family traveling with us, we lost $900. Youd think a campground could understand that sometimes plans change. I'd never book here, just because of how the people treated us. Plus they never answer the phone. read more

So the family embarked on a weekend vacation to Estes Park Colorado. We looked for places to camp and found Yogi Bears. I was a little apprehensive at the price of $60 a night for a spot but I thought "oh well, Estes is expensive but we'll have great views". Boy was I wrong! The camp spot that we were put in was literally a parking spot with a fire pit and a table. After parking the RV we I took out a measuring take and we were 10 ft from the door of our RV to the wall of the RV next to us. The spot we had looked like it used to be part of another spot but they decided to get greedy and make it two spots. After settling down I sat down and cracked open a frosty one when I started feeling things biting me. I looked down and the whole spot was infested with ants. Just at that moment our 'neighbor for the weekend' came over and asked if we had a bad ant problem to. The night before he had actually gone out and bought Raid because they were everywhere. He had complained to the front desk, they said it is normal to have ants at a campground and laughed at him. I agree it is normal to have a few ants here and there but this was an infestation. I went around speaking with our other 'neighbors' and they all complained about they same thing with one neighbor leaving a day early and telling me he was going to dispute the credit card charge because they would give him his money back. The grounds looked like they were very nice back in 1985 but since then they hadn't taken care of there weed problem or pretty much anything other than mowing the grass once in awhile. There were also really no set paths for the camping spots in back of us for the people to walk to the restrooms on the other side, so all night we had people walking threw our camp spot. I don't mind this if it wasn't 5am when people are walking past your camper and the dog is barking, waking your baby up. Our first full day we decided to go to the pool. In the pictures the pool looks huge but when you get there it looks allot different and completely full. I accidentally opened my mouth and took in some water that was very salty which was totally gross since it was probably full of pee. Later we decided to go on a hike on there 'trail' they had built. More or less the trail is a small road that leads up to there water storage tanks. The next day we decided to go on the hey ride with Yogi Bear. Which though fun was basically a flat bed trailer with an old stinky diesel tractor fulling you around in a circle. Oh well, at least my kid liked it . THIS IS WHAT GAVE IT 2 STARS AND NOT 1. IF I WERE BOOKING A CAMP SPOT I WOULD NOT BOOK HERE! Check out the video of the busy pool! http://youtu.be/ArX3klVu78A read more

This place has some wonderful employees. My family and I didn't stay here, but we were unfortunately in a car accident right outside the entrance and my 3 year old niece was in the car. The employees came out immediately and assisted with calling 911 since we had no service. They brought us cold waters and gave my niece a popsicle. They let us sit in their air conditioned store and use their facilities while we waited for a new rental car (coming from Denver). Thank you, Jellystone employees, for being so kind and generous after something so scary! 5 Stars! read more

I have been coming to this campground for 13 years and have always loved it. To my surprise my stay this weekend was a disappointment. I learned that the campground had recently been sold and you could definitely tell immediately upon check in. All new staff and it now has a corporate feel vs a family feel. I'm not sure if I will continue to come back. Talked with several other regulars and they felt the same way. There was sewage problems with odors so strong that you couldn't leave the windows open in the cabin or even be outside due to the smell. I hope they get it fixed soon. Sure did miss the prior owners, their children and the staff. So sad to hear of the ownership change. Happy to have the amazing memories from the last 13 years here thanks to Shelly and Rick. read more

We have a 40' 5th wheel, book well in advance and our stay was ok,big rigs go up front 60' from the highway . Sewer smell in the air was a bit to much. Showers and restrooms where fair. Great activities for the kids. Only back in spaces for large trailers.10 minutes from Estes Park. read more

We stayed for a week in July. The place was wonderful with lots of activities for the kids to do. It felt like a great family getaway in the wilds of Colorado. We came in late the night we arrived and being a novice tent trailer driver, I couldn't back up into the space I had reserved so I booked a bigger space and told them the next day when they kindly switched my reservation to the new space with no issue. Over the week my special needs kiddo had some medical issues and they were loving and supportive getting the medical services we needed. We are from California and I didn't know where to get the help I needed and they were terrific making sure my daughter got to the hospital safely. I will always be grateful for the team at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park and hope that we will get a chance to camp there again under better circumstances. We did have a bear come through our camp and that was really exciting. :) read more

Great park for the kids! Located in a tucked away location in Estes Park on top of the mountain but isolated and well kept. Kids loved the huge jump pad, mini golf and small arcade. Sites were well kept and clean. We were escorted to our site and provided assistance in parking the trailer. Only negative issue we had was WiFi was inconsistent at our site. Great stay overall! read more

Great location to visit Estes park downtown and Rocky Mountain Park. Site was #69 had to be careful backing in uphill so we wouldn't scrap back of rv. The man working was very helpful with assisting us. read more

my kids count the days until we can come to Jellystone. My kids would spend everyday here if possible they love this place from the jumping pad arcade to the mini golf to the playground to the Ring pops in the ranger station my kids love this place! The people here are super friendly and helpful. Always willing to help start the campfire when needed (I'm a mom comes with my three kids). Chris, Tommy, Walker, just name a few, are all wonderful people. We always stay in the cabins and always have a great experience. If you're coming to Estes with kids, this is the place to stay. read more

I was traveling alone and felt a family friendly place would be safer for a single woman. It is not the "roughing it" kind of camping experience that I am used to and I certainly did not expect it to be. I expected RV's and such, but I would suggest that any tent campers AVOID THIS PLACE. I give it one star because the only thing nice I can say is that it had good wifi and I could skype from my tent because there was no cell signal. The tent sites seem to be overflow sites. They are all on a dusty road and they are the furthest sites away from the bathrooms. They could at least put an outhouse near the tent sites. The fire pits ( specifically the grills) were badly damaged. I was not able to cook a burger without it falling through the grill. The picnic table was badly carved and somewhat rotted. It appeared that maybe 15 or 20 years ago there was a leveled gravel spot for a tent, but it was not so gravelly and had lots of pits and uneven spots. The firepits and tables looked nicer in the RV sites, which is why I believe the tent sites are really just overflow sites. There was not a water spigot anywhere near the tent sites, so I had to hike it to the bathrooms or seek out an empty RV site to obtain water and lug my bucket all the way back to my tent site. You have 3 options for bathrooms. The most convenient is squatting, although don't expect any privacy because there aren't many bushes or trees around the tent sites. The furthest bathroom is down the dusty road and across the paved area near the office. The closest bathroom is a short hike away, but you have jump over a little creek and impose on other RVers and walk through their sites to get to it. I always feel bad walking through other peoples sites because I don't like it when people walk through mine, but this place doesn't have any other options. I kept apologizing to the RV people. They were slightly annoyed, but could clearly see that the tent people had no other options. Suggestion to RV people...don't take a site that backs up to the tent sites if you aren't willing to have people tramping through your site. They seemed to have scavenger hunts and other activities for kids. The pool was overcrowded, small and didn't look too clean. Since the tent sites were dusty and not shady, I spent most of my time out of the camground and found fun things to do in Estes Park and neat places nearby for hiking. The staff in the office seemed kind of put out when I checked in and when I asked questions. I did chat with one lady in the laundromat one day and she was quite pleasant. I suppose this is a nice place for families who like to RV. It definitely was not my cup of tea. read more

I reserved a spot and the first 6 hours were awful. The power kept shutting off at the main. The guy working Maintenance (David) came to our rescue!!! 5 times he reset the breaker. Eventually we moved sights. David showed more customer service then anyone else I have ever seen through my camping experiences. Maintenance??? More like customer service god!!! The rest of the stay was amazing!!! read more

Solid 3 stars experience. We stayed for 3 nights over the Memorial Day holiday. I thought the price was a bit high for the quality of the cabin that we stayed in ($360/night for a 12-people cabin). The place was clean and kitchen had upgraded fridge, stove, microwave. The furnace and appliances worked well. I liked the fact that we had a grill and a fire pit in the back of the cabin. It had a very good Cable Tv service. The front office had a good variety of essentials to buy and were knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. Keep in mind that you will likely not have cellphone signal. The only problem that I had was with the Free Wi-Fi, it sucks. The service was up and down and the speeds were extremely low. We couldn't use it more than sending and receiving email. I would rather pay for the service than have it free and so terrible. read more

We have camped here at least once a summer for the past 8 years and we always have a great time. If you have kids, it is a great place to have family fun and keep them entertained. We occasionally see a couple without kids staying there and they don't like all the kid noise and cartoon stuff so make sure you are aware this is a family- kid friendly place. While it is definitely not "roughing it", you get a full camping experience (not just an RV parking lot). It is a little more expensive than other campgrounds, but considering all of the activities, it's a great deal. It is much less expensive than staying at a resort or hotel with activities. The kids can see Yogi every day during flag raising and flag lowering. There are activities every day (more on weekends). We look forward to playing candy bar BINGO every year. Some weekends there is a dance with music and so much fun. Be sure to bring your swim suit for the small heated pool. Only about 10 minutes away from Estes Park and RMNP entrance. Nice clean restrooms with flush toilets and showers. Things to keep in mind: - Lots of kids - Main campground is on a hill so you might have to walk up and down a steep-ish hill to main building for activities - depending on how far up your campsite is. - Some sites are small, so if you have a bigger camper or truck, make sure you are in a bigger site for it. read more

Outstanding two night stay here. We have two smaller children and were looking for a place to keep them entertained a bit but still have a camping experience to test the waters. Jellystone delivered!!. We had a tent site which was quite large with a nice sized fire ring (some were smaller), big tent pad (we have a 10' X 11" tent), and pic-i-nic table. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the entire place was very clean. The kids were kept busy with some fun games throughout the day and they were able to experience camping for the first time with some nicer amenities. We were not the only ones having a good time, everyone had smiles on their faces!! We will be back. read more

The staff are VERY nice and helpful. Although they could have made a larger sale in their store, they offered us a cheaper, smaller item that worked just as well. While being on a budget, that was extremely helpful and appreciated. However, the campsite we had was not up to par. Some of the sites can be very difficult to get to. We had a campsite that was up a steep hill, and the road on which we reached it was in very poor, bumpy condition. When we pulled into our tent site, it was in a steep decline which bottomed out our van. In addition, the tent site was not level. We rolled out of our sleeping bags and air mattresses the first night we stayed there, and then, we slept on an incline the next night. Due to the wonderful staff and great service, we would stay there again, but we would definitely get a lower level camp site. read more

This was a nice place...especially for kids. Average size camp site with nice distance between sites. Bathrooms are well kept and staff is super friendly. Great location as it is close to downtown estes. Highway noise is a little loud but all in all a nice place to stay but i do think its a little overpriced. read more

Nice wooded sites, very quiet and they have lots of activities for the kids. We've camped in Estes before, and this is the best place we've been at yet. The price is comparable to the national parks. read more

My family and I spent a week tent camping here. The sites are kind of close together and some are a bit small but they all seem to be kept up. The staff is great. They were all helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were kept clean and the showers were hot, though not as hot as I really like it. I would have liked to see a dishwashing station at both bathrooms as it was a bit of a walk from our campsite to the one they had. They do have WiFi but it is spotty and inconsistent, though for us not a real issue as it helped keep us more focused on nature. The store at the ranger station also had fairly reasonable prices, maybe a bit high, but not the huge price gouging I have seen at similar places. read more

Without a doubt one of the best family friendly camp sites out there. The staff works very hard to make sure that the area is clean and the guests have what they need. My kids had a blast between the activities, pool, and play grounds. I even got a free breakfast on Father's Day! read more

Clean bathrooms, really small pool, a couple playground areas, basic spots that are kinda small but that's fairly common for this area, grounds kept up pretty well, yogi in costume, putt putt golf, nice staff, cute cabins, no pet fee, military disc, decent for a campground. I'd come back read more

For RV camping or renting a cabin this place is amazing. Rarely do you find a campground with such a view and friendly staff to boot. No light pollution either, the stars were amazing. You'll find the usual campground features with some nice extras. I rented a cabin for myself, my partner and our daughter for 3 days and it was a great time. The only negative was thinking to myself if I had brought a tent I would not have been happy. I did not see many sites with even ground for tents. It would take some equipment and labor but really that could and should be fixed. Leveling out of the tent sites and I'd give it 5 stars. read more

Amazing! Have stayed here for many years. Amazing staff. During storm on last visit came and checked on everyone and helped those who needed it. Clean clean clean. Pool,pond,shaded,new playground,game room. Located on side of mountain so is a bit steep but just adds to its charm. We stayed in their rv rental unit and it was great. We have only had positive experiences and all of our camp neighbors feel the same. 5 minutes from downtown Estes. Great location. read more
