We had an amazing time! Cabin was very clean, smoke free, very well maintained park. We brought kids ages 1 to 12 and there was something for everyone. 10/10 would stay again.

We stayed two nights because we loved Estes Park so much. The campground was clean, family-friendly, and full of fun for the kids. Our site was quiet, spacious, and right by the forest. Nothing to complain about—would gladly come back!

Fantastic place! My family had a 4-day reunion here with relatives coming from out of state, and everything was great. The staff was welcoming, the cabins were cozy and comfortable, and the whole property was peaceful and quiet. Being so close to Rocky Mountain National Park was a huge bonus. We made great memories here and will definitely be back!

We stayed at Jellystone for two nights in one of their cabins. The cabin was clean and well furnished. The loft area is definitely on the short side making it difficult to get in to for older adults. It was air conditioned and seemed relatively new. The location was slightly farther away from Estes Park than I would have liked but still within a few miles of the center of town. I would stay there again but better prepared the next time.

Our family had the greatest time for carnival weekend at Jellystone park. This was our end of the summer family trip and it didn't disappoint. We went swimming, hiking, played laser tag, bingo, cooked hot dogs and snores at our own private campfire at our family cabin and went to their carnival with games, bounce houses and obstacle course and it was so much fun. We saw two giant Bull Elk on the property as we were driving around in the evening in our golf cart so special. Thank you to Maddy in ranger station she was so helpful, Caitlin and the rest of carnival staff were so fun and the nice lady and young man that worked in "Picnic basket" cafe were very patient with my special needs kids. We can't wait to go back next year. Special thanks to Kelly for making this all happen for us.

We have been going here for years. We love it! They have lots of lodging options at different prices. The activities for the kids were great! It doesn’t have the views of Estes but this is a great price! We stayed in a basic cabin- no bathroom. The campground cabin was close and was always clean. Felt like we were still camping but had a sturdy roof when it rain or got cold at night!

We had a great stay with our small family! Lots of activities pretty much on the hour every day (we stayed over the weekend). Our 2.5 year old had a lot of fun joining in on different activities and while she didn't love the costumed Yogi and Boo Boo, she enjoyed everything else. This was a good balance of being in nature and close enough to amenities as needed. We saw elk on the property and signs of bears as to be expected, but didn't encounter them. We went into Estes Park (about 15 minutes away) for dinner or to grab takeout. Stayed in a Cindy Bear Cabin and it had everything we needed to cook and relax. Loved that the cabin was well thought out to utilize the smaller space and had outlets everywhere you'd want one. The only thing missing was a freezer and knowing this, we brought a plug in cooler with a freezer setting to have ice and frozen food on hand. The cabin was a good size and could comfortably sleep 6. The stairs to the loft were a little steep and while our toddler navigated them fine, we weren't quite comfortable with her sleeping in the loft by herself, so we shared a bed with her. We ended up having better wifi than expected and think our cabin may have been near a source signal, although this wasn't expected or important for our stay. The only thing we missed out on was swimming as it was a cooler weekend and the pool is reasonably shaded, although heated. We'll be back again!

Staff was fantastic, our kids had a blast with all the daily activities. Adults were able to adult and the kids were able to kid.

I’d consider this closer to basic living in a mountain atmosphere! Cabin was nice, bed was not, so slept on futon. Overall we enjoyed it. Staff was friendly, daughter had fun cruising around the park on a golf cart, plenty of things to do and Exceptionally close to Estes Park. Listen if you want to spend $1200 or more for three nights in Estes you can but if you want a reasonable stay that’s not breaking the bank give this place a shot! We definitely enjoyed getting back to the basics and throughly enjoyed our time together here!

We recently stayed at Jellystone Park in Estes Park, and it was an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the wide range of activities for all ages. The Halloween-themed events were a huge hit with our family—costume, trick-or-treating, spooky haunted trails, and decorating the campsite really made it feel like Halloween in September! The park itself is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Our kids had a blast at the playground and mini-golf course. We also enjoyed Candy Bar Bingo and making s’mores by the campfire. We had such a fantastic time that we’ve decided to make this an annual tradition to celebrate Halloween at Jellystone every September! Highly recommend this place for a fun, family-friendly camping experience!

We came here for a mini family reunion. We rented a large cabin. Multiple TVs, king and twin beds, 2 1/2 baths were ideal for our 3 generations. The camp is beautiful and full of free amenities (heated pool, Gaga ball pit, bounce pad, and playgrounds) for the kids and grands! We rented a golf cart for a day which delighted every one. Gold/rock/mineral/arrowhead panning was a hit, also. Our cabin was near the park dumpster and sensitive noses didn’t care for that. Every staff member we met was kind and helpful, all with broad smiles and sweet words.

We spent 3 nights in our camper at Jellystone Estes and had the absolute BEST time. Every staff person we encountered was incredibly helpful and friendly. The weekend events were a blast and our kids had so much fun. I don’t think they stopped smiling. The event crew had great energy and made everything feel special and exciting. The location itself is great - just minutes from Estes Park, it sits far enough off the highway that there wasn’t much noise. It was so peaceful. This was the quintessential summer getaway and we are already planning our return!

NEW OWNERSHIP - SUMMER 2022, and it is painfully obvious. Full hookups were available Mothers Day Weekend, but nothing was ready. No events posted, no amenities were set up or even working properly. Incredibly frustrating, and for what you pay for a site, more transparency would have been appreciated. They said they were understaffed, but it seemed to be poor planning, and when we communicated our frustration to the staff, they promised one thing and weren’t able to deliver. Wouldn’t recommend, won’t be back.

It says on the web they opened as of March 12th and it probably should have been a warning sign that the website had no events listed, but really wasn’t truely open as expected for the season this last weekend. I understand no bathrooms/water hookups but the amenities were not open yet no game room, no sightings of yogi bear, etc. The gentleman working was truly nice and said they had recently been purchased by new management and offered to clear off the mini golf for us and gave us a small refund because the premium site we booked wasn’t available to us, but just wish they had been more clear on the website what would be open during the early season or as they transition to new owners because we likely wouldn’t have paid a premium to come there verse other options that were open in town if we knew we weren’t getting a true Jellystone experience. On the upside it’s a good location not far from town and they have 2 very nice parks my daughter enjoyed- look forward to coming back when the new management has worked out the kinks and they are truely open for the season. In the meantime would just recommend others call before booking to confirm what is open before coming and not rely on the website

visited fall 2021 Great campground. This place is in a great location, and has tons of cabins. The restrooms are clean and plenty of hot water. The cabins are roomy (for camping), clean, and have a nice layout. They sell firewood and lots of other stuff at the general store. It's a great place for kids, with plenty of space for them to roam. Would stay again.
