Overview
The Cleveland/Sandusky Jellystone Camp-Resort is a destination designed for families seeking a blend of outdoor recreation and organized activities. Located in the quiet community of Nova, this park offers a managed experience centered around the Yogi Bear theme. It transitions from a standard campground into a full-scale resort during the peak summer months, providing a lively atmosphere where guests can expect frequent character appearances and themed weekend events.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in north-central Ohio, the park is nestled within a serene rural landscape characterized by rolling fields and quiet country roads. While the immediate area provides a peaceful escape from urban noise, its strategic position makes it an ideal base for exploring the region.

RV travelers will find spacious full-hookup sites that accommodate various rig sizes, alongside essential facilities like a well-stocked general store and clean laundry rooms.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
A major draw for visitors is the proximity to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, often referred to as the roller coaster capital of the world. Nature enthusiasts can head north to the Lake Erie Islands for boating and birdwatching. Additionally, the park is a short drive from the northern edge of Ohio Amish Country, where travelers can enjoy traditional cooking, local cheese shops, and unique handmade crafts in a picturesque setting.

Has so much fun!!! The cabin was perfect, AND pet friendly! That's actually the whole reason we came, because the dog was able to stay with us in the cabin! Clean park and very friendly staff. We can't wait to come back!

Came to the area for a herding event at Hado-Bar farm, about 4 miles away. We stayed with our 2 dogs in one of the cabins and couldn't have had a better time. The cabin was perfect, walk out the front and down to the water. Plenty of space to walk the dogs around the camp ground. It was the Halloween party weekend - really made me wish I were a kid again - they had so many activities and the kids seemed to have a blast. Will definitely come back in the spring for our next event, and probably even stay an extra couple of days just to relax.

Great hidden gem campground surrounded by nature but includes all the amenities! Super clean grounds, restrooms, showers and sites. Staff was amazing- very nice and kept saying they just wanted to make us happy and they truly did. We went during Halloween. So much to do!! Food truck staff and food was top notch too!! Will be back in summer for the swimming.

Their cabins are a home away from home. The RV sites are pretty level most are gravel with table and burn ring. The stag is top notch knowledge and hospitality. This campground has a RC track. Their activities can keep you busy. The water obstacle course is fun. Yes life vest are mandatory even for adults.

Our family loves Cleveland/Sandusky Jellystone. The park is beautiful, clean and great for all ages. We will continue to camp here multiple times a year! The Managers Kayla and Eric are always smiling and extremely inviting. They plan lots of events for kids and adults. They are involved in the events and their energy makes them so much fun. Ranger Mark is so good with the kids and goes above and beyond to make sure they have a good time. If you haven’t camped here you’re missing out!

Absolutely love this place. We’re not really “campers” but we were going to the Lions game in Canton and Cedar Point the following day so this campground was conveniently located between the two and is dog friendly. We were happily surprised to see how nice and clean the cabin was and was perfect for a family of 4 and the pups. The amenities are plentiful and free. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Mark especially made our stay there entertaining and memorable. Will definitely be back

Management and camp staff were friendly and eager to make our first visit a great experience. The few issues we had were addressed and corrected immediately and favorably. Wood was delivered by camp staff right to our fire pit. Our trash was picked up several times a day and night. Right from the very start, management and camp staff were encouraging all campers to have a fun, safe, and memorable experience. Campgrounds and cabin was clean. Very kid/family friendly. We have already booked our next visit.

Our One week stay with our grandsons in our travel trailer was amazing. Our site was large and well maintained. The park is just the right size and all of the activities are easy to get to. Every children’s area was well staffed and so clean. The managers went above and beyond to make our stay so pleasant and comfortable. The staff was so friendly and always asked if there was anything they could do for us to make our stay more wonderful! This was the perfect vacation for our boys. They were never bored. It was the perfect vacation for us as well. We never needed to find something to do. So much fun was right there! This is a great family park and everyone is working so hard to make it even better! The cabins are beautiful and the lake is so pretty and great for fishing! We can’t say enough about this fantastic Jellystone Park! We have already booked for next year!

10/10 recommend. This was our families first trip to Jellystone and we WILL be back. It was amazing. They have activities every hour for the kids, the facility is clean, the beach/lake is clean, and the pool was also well taken care of. We did not encounter 1 bad staff member. They were all friendly, willing to help, and made the experience great. Shout out to Ranger Mark. That man loves his job and the kids love him! He was out there bust his behind to make sure trash was getting picked up, people had everything they needed, and the kids had fun. He’s 1 in a million, that’s for sure. Management is amazing and they went above in beyond. Thank you for the perfect weekend!

Our stay at Jellystone Park was absolutely incredible! The park was extremely clean, and the staff was phenomenal—so friendly, welcoming, and truly some of the hardest-working people we’ve ever encountered. There were nonstop activities for the kids, from swimming and fishing to crafts, wagon rides, and so much more. Every day was packed with fun, and the staff kept everything running smoothly with a smile. We’re so grateful for the amazing experience and can’t wait to come back! This is truly a hidden gem
