This place was such a treat! It was way more than we expected! I called with questions more than once about booking and everyone was so polite and helpful. Really kind workers. The entire park is super clean. Family friendly and we had a fabulous time! We loved the lake and all it had to offer with climbers slides, a diving board, kayaking and paddle boarding. The splash pad was quite big for the really little ones. There is a kids zero entry pool with slides, water guns and and obstacle course. There is also a family pool and an adult only hot tub. There are more than enough tables, chairs and loungers in each area. There was also a really nice mini golf course, bounce pad and playground. The general store was really cute and well stocked. The food was good and all reasonably priced which is rare now. Restrooms and common areas are spotless! Great place that we will be going back to regularly.

This summer has been amazing at Clay’s. Was everything perfect, I have to say yes! The staff including Matt, Tonya and Sonya at the pool made my sunny days even better. Do I wish they didn’t sell 10000 day passes? Sure but those day passes help pay the bills. Do I wish they would fill in some potholes, sure but it makes everyone drive slower. We contemplating leaving to be closer to home but there really isn’t any other camp grounds that compare! I am grateful that I can be here and I am grateful that the staff here all work hard to make our weekend vacations the best!

It's expensive to get in, but there's lots to do! The staff is very friendly, exceptionally so, and I think they have a good balance of rules/safety while still allowing guests to enjoy themselves. The lake offers a lot of adults or older kids and the water park is a blast for the younger guests. The downsides are the hours are very short -- you pay $40 per person and the water is only open noon till 7pm. However, we take advantage of the mini golf after the water areas close, which is a great option. Also during our visit, the swimming pool was cloudy and didn't smell especially clean... I'm not sure if that's common place or not. Also, I wish there were more areas for changing rooms for day pass guests who didn't camp there. Overall, lots of fun.

We absolutely love spending family time here! The park is clean and well laid out. We really enjoy riding the golf carts as the park is really big but we also enjoy just riding around in the evening looking at all the sites. We enjoy swimming the most. There is a place for the little ones, the teenagers and the adults. You really can't beat it. A life jacket is required in the lake area with the inflatables, but there's also a section of lake that doesn't require them. There is a rooftop bar overlooking the lake. Our only complaint is the prices have doubled, for example our drinks went from 4 dollars to 10! A little ridiculous 🙄

We had a great time at Clay's Resort Jellystone! The campground was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The general store had a great selection of merchandise and we enjoyed the roof top bar and restaurants. This is a VERY LARGE campground, which is both good and bad. The water attractions are open to the public as well as campers, so it can get very crowded on the weekends. (We stayed Sunday-Sunday, and everything was crowded but manageable until Friday night into Saturday.) The swimming lake and swimming pool enact a safety break for 15 minutes every hour. While I understand the necessity of breaks, this is a little excessive. With the crowds, it makes using the Wibits on the swimming lake more challenging. Several times, one or more people in our group were just getting started on one of those attractions when the break was called, and then had to start over after the break. It also seems extremely unnecessary for a 3 foot pool to need to be evacuated every 15 minutes. During those times, it could be "swim at your own risk" (or since there were always 2 life guards on duty, their breaks could be altered so one of them is on duty at all times). I would absolutely recommend this campground, but the above are way that they could definitely improve.

If you are thinking about being a seasonal camper do not come here. Nothing stops clays park from telling you there closing your site down and have to move your camper in 30 days. Clays is under new management and has seen drastic rate increases as well as lack of communication. Please take your business elsewhere. This is no longer an nice family owned establishment. Look at the new owners reviews. 3.4 stars. Think twice about over paying for a site with camper for the "view" and then they tell you find a new site next year. Nice generic response. Same one everyone else was emailed. How can you say you are making a better park experience? Just be honest and say you're looking to make more money. Why did you not even address your poor rating of 3.4 stars?

We have always gone to clays since I was a kid. They have gotten strict with the security around the park, they also recently closed the indoor pool which doesn’t state anywhere on their website, so that was a let down when we arrived. We stayed in the lake front cabins since it was mid September. The cabins were big and the kids loved to fish right in front of our sites. The cabins and campground was very clean, bar/restaurant was busy but like everywhere, they are short staffed, the dark hair female bartender was the best and always kept us happy! The pillow jump pad was fun and the yankee peddler fest was a great addition to our trip too. I heard they are recently under new management so hopefully this brings more positives! We will return and will hopefully get a seasonal site one of these years.

Me, my husband and our 2 kids very much enjoyed our time here. The cabin was beautiful and clean, and the a.c. worked great. Our fire pit was not properly installed, but we made it work. We also used the bath house and found it very nice. The waterpark was fantastic fun, and quite a workout! We all loved climbing the iceberg and the zip line. We also enjoyed the mini golf, splash pad and jump pad. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. The only big problem, and the reason for four stars was the lack of posted hours for anything. We got into difficulties with our planning several times because of this, which made for sad little kids. Better availability of the times things are open and closed, either included in the paperwork you receive at check in or openly posted would definitely make this a 5 star experience. Overall, we had a great vacation, and would return.

Always a fun place to go. Editing as things change. Still a great place just expect to pay a lot more than you use to. $30 to $35 a person depending on the day.

We loved going here till they raised the prices to a ridiculous amount! It really is a shame!
