Absolutely amazing. The staff booking and answering questions throughout our whole initial planning was absolutely the best. They were a helpful hand and resource. I am planning a second trip and already speaking with them again. Over all, Glenn Ellis is a gem. Best family vacation we have had!

Excellent fall stay at Jellystone Park! We had no idea how many Halloween activities there would be for kids which was an awesome added bonus. Clean bathrooms, beautiful camp sites. All the staff were excellent and sweet. We particularly enjoyed getting to know Mary Anne. She had a wealth of info on the park and area.

Our friends and I booked our sites only a couple of hours apart, and there was a HUGE price increase. They would not honor the price we paid for sites right beside one another.....we should have booked all 3 at once...do not make this mistake and book together when traveling as a group or avoid them all together. They had very poor service and attention to customer service, and I can't imagine our... Our friends and I booked our sites only a couple of hours apart, and there was a HUGE price increase.

They had very poor service and attention to customer service, and I can't imagine our upcoming stay will change our minds that we will not be booking any future camping trips here.

The location, cabins and people are great, but the events and service have been dropping off over time. There used to be live bands for the kids at night, glow stick tractor rides and the haunted house was better. The park is still pricy and the service/events declining has been a disapointment.

With lots of things for the kids to do and for the family to enjoy. 4 adults and 2 kids enjoyed a cabin near the river.

The cabin was beautiful and we enjoyed having the screened in porch. I do recommend if renting linens to double check what size beds are in the cabin you are renting because the pictures didn’t give an accurate representation and it wasn’t listed anywhere. We can’t wait to go back!
