My family and I stayed here and the one thing I can say is the cabins were relatively clean but had a weird layout. The queen sized bed in the kitchen, no couch, and bunk beds in a separate room. We battled flies all weekend inside and the smoke detector was laying on the table and not connected. The campground activities are geared more to younger kids. We had four teenagers with us. We participated in candy bar bingo and a special glow hay ride. Everything closes at 8pm, pool included. We've stayed at other places and the pool was open until midnight and offered music. The amenities were not advertised well. The slide was open for 2 hours a day. The say there is a mini golf available but it was teeny tiny, meant for toddlers, and no creative designs. It's very structured and scheduled environment. You were not able to fish late and they do not have any kayaks or paddle board rentals. There was RV that played loud music until 3 am. We made the most of it but left feeling very disappointed. I think they should add an arcade, water activities and they need to lighten up on the early shut downs. Most people on vacation like to stay up late and enjoy the day, past the 8pm curfew and quiet hours.

Our second stay at Jellystone Chautauqua was even better than the first! We had so much fun, and there's so much to do! I'd like to send a special shout out to Mickey. He always has a smile on his face and is always willing to help out! He never stops! Thank you for an amazing second stay!

The fertilizer/manure smell not pleasant! You are paying $$$ for sites you would not normally so your kids are entertained have fun! It seems everything is Extra! Pool-was nice! Could have areas created for shade kids Burn!

Had a great time as always, plenty of planned activities for the kids to do, the new heated pool was a great time for all who chose to use it. The wi-fi was great for streaming movies on the rainy days, no complaints here. Staff was friendly, as always. Can't wait to see what new amenities are in the works for the near future. Great job Mickey and Jess!!

To start my nephew loves Jellystone Campgrounds, and he is a rewards member. Thus, we try to do a Jellystone Campground once a year with him. We were here two years ago, and we enjoyed our time. It’s also in a great location to breweries in the area. This place is amazing if you have kids. Lots of stuff to do and events, and they added a few things since we were here last. Cabins are pretty great with lots of pots and pans for cooking. Also, we were given a welcome mug. They have added a food truck since we last visited, and it’s a really nice touch. We purchased 2 pizzas, the fried food basket, and the cinnamon twists. Everything was really good , and everything was priced with what you’d expect eating out. It’s nice to have a place to get fresh food over trying to get take out 15-30 minutes away. We did have a few issues with our stay. First being the wifi. There is barely any phone service here which isn’t their fault. However, we’d hope the WiFi would be decent. It was horrible. Barely could use our phones, and it was a big issue when trying to use google maps to go places from the campground. The other issue has to do with a staff member and my nephew. In the morning he was told no EV charging, my car needed to be unplugged immediately, and my car needed to be moved to outside park EV chargers. It lead to him knocking at our door, for due to WiFi he couldn’t text us. Before coming I read the park rules and policies, and I didn’t see anything about no EV charging. There was nothing about this in the rules handout, and there was no sign by the outlet outside. I’ve never had an issue with this at any other Jellystone or other campground. There was a no smoking or cooking on porch sign though. If there was a sign by the outlet that is was not to be used I’d understand, but there was no sign. This lead to an uneasy feeling about my car being in the property the rest of the stay. I’ll give them having the chargers as a nice touch for folks to have a place to charge EVs. However, $.49 a kWh is absurd for level 2 chargers. I’m charging my car at an ultra fast charger in Jamestown for the same price. In my experience most level 2 chargers cost 25-50% of the price of ultra fast chargers in the area. It is a nice perk they have, and I understand the pricing may be out of their control if another company runs them.

Stayed here for a week in July of 2021. Nice quiet campground. Hardly anyone there during the week. The weekend was Halloween in July. The place filled up, but was still surprisingly quiet. Many campers put up decorations, and the campground ran the movie Clue. It was a fun and relaxing week. The owners are super nice. It is pet friendly. Golf carts are allowed, but the place wasn't overun with them.

This park is mostly permanent or seasonal campers, but the area for transient folks is flat, grassy and nice. We were here only one night, on our way to some place else, but I would camp here again. Everything seems to be well taken care of, except the roads which are full of holes. There is a pool, a basketball court, lots of stuff for kids to do. The campground is gated and you are given a bar code to get in. I thought it was pricy for a site without full hookups.

Hidden Valley Camping Area is such a fun place for families and friends! We enjoyed all the amenities, especially the pool and playground for our kids. The bathrooms and showers are updated and clean. The camp store is great for some souvenirs and random things you may have forgotten. The owners were very nice and recommended some great restaurants/breweries in the area. They also helped us find a tire repair shop for our truck before we towed our camper home. We felt safe with their new gate system and rules for visitors. I would definitely recommend visiting this campground, whether it’s for a quick trip or a whole summer!
