Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Mexico, NY

We stayed for three days (Thursday to Saturday, October 16–18) for salmon fishing and had a great time. Our site, PK-1, was a small mobile home trailer with one full bed and a set of bunk beds — perfect setup for our group of three. It was simple, clean, and exactly what we needed for our annual trip. Be sure to bring your own bedding, pillows, and towels — we used sleeping bags and it worked perfectly. Outside, there’s a picnic table, fire ring, and a couple of chairs, which made for a great spot to relax after fishing. The Little Salmon River runs right along the campground, which is super convenient, though it does get busy during the season. There’s also a fish cleaning station, which was a big plus. Overall, a great, no-frills place to stay if you’re here for the fishing!

I have been coming here for almost 20 years and will continue to come back year after year. They offer everything from tent sites to luxury cabins right on the banks of the Little Salmon River. There are plenty of activities for the kids every weekend.

We paid in advance for full hookups- when my husband set up our camper, there was no sewer connection. To his credit, the maintenance guy offered to come pump our tank out, and kindly offered the use of an extension cord- electric was more than 30 ft from our parking spot. Not that we were camping for the amenities, but our spot was in full sun, very low water pressure, no pad, so we had a hard time leveling, and a view of the maintenance barn. Very disappointing for the price. UPDATE: DH asked desk person, Joanne for a partial credit and she complied, and was very apologetic. Again, Paul the Maintenance man was very kind and helpful.

Our campsite location was great - R28, right on the creek. Our kid and friend’s kids had a blast playing in the water, even the dogs! Our complaints are with the service provided, attention to the campers, organization of the “planned” events, and changes in campsites without notification (even though we paid the lock-in fee). My husband requested upon arrival to have our tanks pumped and was told to ask in the morning and someone would be to our site to do so. I went to check-in to ask again first thing in the morning and was told they needed 24-hour notice, but they’d try to squeeze us in that day, no one showed up. I then asked again the 3rd time (the next day), and was told “we don’t do that service everyday, but maybe one of the maintenance guys will before they leave” - no one showed up again. We stood in line waiting for the 9:45 wagon ride on the Friday we were there, which was apparently “canceled” but again, no notification that it was and had some pretty upset kiddos. Computer malfunctions at the store left a quick trip that should have taken 5 minutes turn into a 10-15 minute wait. Friends had their power turning on and off all day while maintenance worked on problems in the campgrounds, but again there was no notice of this and no offer of a refund. No to mention it was the hottest weekend of the summer so far and they were left without AC for a lot of them time. These all seem like fairly simply things, I’m sure, but when you spend the money you do to stay the weekend somewhere, you’d expect more.

I’ve been coming to Yogi in Mexico, NY for years, and it’s always been one of our favorite places to camp as a family. We’ve made so many great memories here, which is why it’s disappointing to say that our most recent experience didn’t live up to the standards we’ve come to expect. There were a few things that really stood out this time. At one point, we were told to leave the store it closed and come back the next day just to use the arcade, which made us feel unwelcome. Thankfully, the manager quickly stepped in and corrected the situation, but it was still an uncomfortable moment and did not make us want to go back. The pool was another concern. It was dirty all weekend, with bugs, Band-Aids, and other debris floating in the water for days. I didn’t see a net available to clean it or a diving ring in case of emergency, which felt unsafe—especially for families with young kids. People were smoking IN the bathrooms and on many occasions they were filthy (both by the rec field and by the pool). I've never in my life seen it so dirty at these facilities. Even more concerning, there was a fight that broke out, and police had to be called. The family involved had reportedly been causing issues for a couple of days prior, yet it seemed like no action was taken until things escalated. They had been playing extremely loud and inappropriate music. I really hope this was just a one-off experience, because this has always been a place we’ve loved and looked forward to visiting. I’m still hopeful things will return to the family-friendly and well-managed campground we’ve known in the past.
