I’ve meant to leave a review way before now, but we stayed here last summer and I cannot say enough about how hard the staff works. It was very family, friendly, and lots of activities to do. Our youngest son is special needs, and the staff went above and beyond to make his camping experience with Yogi and friends very special. I would highly recommend this place and we can’t wait to revisit.

Our hilltop cabin was exactly as described. The activities were appropriate for children. The grounds were very well kept and offered quite a bit of walking/play/picnic areas. The campsites are a bit small, but with all the activities there is little reason to hang around the site anyway! My g'daughter and I stayed during a halloween wknd.

The grounds were very well kept and offered quite a bit of walking/play/picnic areas. The campsites are a bit small, but with all the activities there is little reason to hang around the site anyway! My g'daughter and I stayed during a halloween wknd. They had campground wide trick or treating. We, and many others, decorated our cabin/campsite. This was our 1st time at this location, but our 4th Jellystone stay. They are worth the money. The manager/owner is the perfect person for working with the public. She was very welcoming and always called me by name, even when outside the store/check-in area.

We’ve been coming to Jellystone Park Indianapolis East for the past 4 years, visiting 2–3 times a year and always renting an RV. The owners and staff have truly become like a second family to us.

The owners and staff have truly become like a second family to us. We have an adult son with special needs, and they consistently go above and beyond to make his experience extra special. Their kindness and genuine care mean so much to us. The campground is family-owned, exceptionally well-run, and always spotless. The facilities are very clean, the gift shop is well-stocked with fun items, and there are endless activities to keep everyone entertained—including the always-popular bear visits! We highly recommend Jellystone Park Indianapolis East to anyone looking for a welcoming, family-friendly, and memorable camping experience. It truly is the best!

We stayed in a Cabin at Jellystone Campground. Cabin was HT1 it was perfect for our family of 4. we rented one of the golf carts and highly recommend doing this. This campground was truly one of the best we have been to in along time. It's a smaller campground but man when I tell you it did not disappoint at all! It was kept clean no matter where we were we always saw staff cleaning. The staff was... We stayed in a Cabin at Jellystone Campground.

It's a smaller campground but man when I tell you it did not disappoint at all! It was kept clean no matter where we were we always saw staff cleaning. The staff was so nice and helpful. When I tell you they keep the kiddos busy here they keep them busy with some many daily activities, from paint ceramics to crafts tie-dye shirts and even a foam pit they have it all. The pool was nice on the hot days we were there, it did get a little crowded I recommend get there early, but over all it was nice and clean. The stocked pond was nice we caught several fish including a snapping turtle! We paid to have the Bear him self come to our site to meet our kids and that was huge high light of their trip they enjoyed playing a game with Yogi and the received a toy plush from him. Don't let the other reviews scare you this campground is defiantly on to visit. We will be back! Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

We just got back from a week long family gathering that we held at Jellystone Park Knightsville. We had some 40 odd people from my youngest months old nephew to my 90+ year old grandparents.

We had some 40 odd people from my youngest months old nephew to my 90+ year old grandparents. There was something to do for everyone. The management and staff were very accommodating and helpful through out our stay. We spent a lot of time swimming in the pool, playing on the playground, fishing at the lake, and having fun together as a big extended family. We enjoyed the fisherman's cabin, which was nice, if a little distant from the rest of the crew. My little guy eventually got over his shyness and wanted to see Yogi and his pals when they were out and about. We loved having story time with them. If we were to do it again, I think we would pick Jellystone in a heartbeat.
