This was my second visit and my first visit in over three years. Wow I’m disappointed…this campground is still very scenic but The amenities have gone downhill big time. We were there for Halloween weekend and everything now cost money and the quality is not there anymore. Some of the stuff on the schedule that was supposed to happen like not so scary haunted house was not even available. I booked two premium tent sites and they were horrible. The padding was nothing but rocks and it made for a very uncomfortable experience when walking in your tent with no shoes. I told the front desk this and they just looked at me and said oh really. . For almost $600 for four days with a golf cart ( golf cart I got was in bad condition )you would think that you get better service than this. My first day I had to notify Julie about the bathrooms because they were a complete disaster. Overall, it is a very nice piece of property, but I think the customer service and things like the campgrounds needs some major attention. Probably won’t be back to this jellystone unfortunately…

We had so much fun at Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Yogi 19 in Pelahatchie MS! Super clean cabin, easy check in process & very friendly staff. The Halloween vibe is my favorite time of year. Highly recommend. A great spot to just relax, eat yummy food and sit by the fire pit.

I’m really torn. We absolutely love this campground. It’s so much fun and for the most part the service is great. They have lots of fun activities. The haunted trail is a hit. The kids absolutely love it. Really the only downfall is on our day of checking out, we’ve decided to just go grab breakfast in the café as it would be easier. There was only one person working in the café in the back cooking. And they had nothing no food. They had no eggs. No hashbrowns. No chocolate milk. Every time we ordered something they were out of it. Or we would order something and then they would come back and say they ran out of it and they didn’t have it and we had to pick something else. And apparently they got a new system so you can’t get a refund because they don’t know how to so you have to pick something else which they may or may not have. And then on top of it with the new system, they don’t know how to split payments. So the kids won a couple contests like pumpkin carving, and stuff like that and got these little certificates to use in the café and in the gift shop and when we tried to use it, they couldn’t use the certificate and then pay the balance with a credit card or cash. It was a little frustrating. And unfortunate. But the lady behind the register was really sweet and you can tell she felt terrible. Beyond that we absolutely love this campground.

We just left from our first ever visit for Halloween and to celebrate my daughter's 2nd birthday. We had a FANTASTIC time! We will definitely be back!! The pool and water slide was very clean and the kids throughly enjoyed it, even while shivering haha. The breakfast in the Cafe was so yummy- get the breakfast burrito! We went back this morning but we were late for breakfast so we ate lunch and that was delicious as well. Our cabin was the perfect size for my family. It was very clean and was supplied with everything we needed to cook with. The staff was very helpful and engaging. Ms.Alana helped us with booking and scheduled our bear visits prior to our arrival. She was veryyyy helpful and kind. It was great to put a face to the person I had been communicating with over facebook. Mrs.Stephanie helped us with our arrival and took care of last minute changes. Then you have Ms.Bridgette who was phenomenal!! Mrs.Bridgette went above and beyond to make our experience everything it was and more. We are excited to book another trip to go see our favorite bears and this amazing staff we can call friends!

We had a wonderful and amazing time. We took our daughter and our 2 grandbabies along with us and had a blast. Seeing them have so much fun at the splash pad/slides was the best fun and they went so many times up and down the slides that they would be ready to take naps at the end of the day. They each told us in their little voices, ( 4 and 7 yrs old) “Gigi and Pop, “This is the best vacation ever.” To hear that and see their excitement and to know what fun that had, was worth everything to us.” The staff was so accommodating and friendly. The nicest people you’d ever want to meet. I highly recommend going and your family won’t be disappointed at all. You’ll make memories to last a lifetime and we will be going back.
