We had an amazing Halloween weekend at Camp Jellystone in Gardiner NY. From booking to checkout, every staff member we spoke to or enjoyed was friendly and professional.

From booking to checkout, every staff member we spoke to or enjoyed was friendly and professional. A lot of the activities staff are teenagers and they were polite, helpful and respectful. The cabins were spacious and spotless. We stayed in a two bedroom cabin with loft. The kids loved the sleeping loft! The kitchen and bathroom turned camping into glamping! The amenities and activities were fun and plentiful. Lots of Halloween fun. We will definitely be back in the summer to check out the lazy river and water park area. I highly recommend this campground.

We stayed 10/17-10/20 for my daughter’s birthday. We were not giving our VIP passes at check in. When we did get them half of the stuff was not open due to being off peek of the season.

When we did get them half of the stuff was not open due to being off peek of the season. We were not aware that because a lot of people checked out on Sunday the store closed at 1 and there was no activity for the kids. Also was never told the store is not open at all today. Do not buy the VIP passes it’s a waste of money! And do not go during off peek (we went for Halloween) because there is nothing to do. Our cabin front room was freezing good thing I brought a heater with us. The water pressure was horrible couldn’t wash dishes and could hardly take a shower. While putting my own sheets on the twin bunk bed there was someone’s gross nail filer which made me believe the beds do not get wiped down after each stay. We stayed with another family and while booking we asked to be as close as possible and was told we’re there was nothing open when the cabin behind me and one over was not being used. At check in we rented a golf cart picked up and on the drive right down the block the golf cart died. Had to have someone come and push the golf cart back. While going to the haunted trail we were told to check in at one place had to wait which was fine but when family’s were called no one could hear anything. I had to go ask and was told that my family went through already when we didn’t and then when my husband wanted to take our golf cart we were told we were not allowed to drive it to the parking lot the women was extremely rude and nasty with her delivery.

Was disappointed that there was no trick or treating for the kids on the actual Halloween night, had it the following night after Halloween? Ceramics were high price to only get to the work area to paint and there was a small on variety of paint colors, no Black or White two Main colors. Only two sizes of paint brushes so it was very hard to really do a good job. I will say we enjoyed the Haunt...

Our spot by the water with our trailer was also very nice and spacious!

My family had a great vacation! Honestly this camp resort exceeded our expectations! Whether we were enjoying the waterpark, doing all the daily activities they have for kids or just relaxing by the camp fire, good times were had by all! The pet friendly cabin we had was perfect for the whole family including our dog. The views of the mountains were absolutely stunning! We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic time enjoying the water park, the bouncing pillow, mini-golf, and all the other fun activities. One of the most memorable moments from our visit this summer was when I lost my phone. I asked a staff member on his golf cart if he could call my number while I searched. Not only did he immediately get down to help, but when other staff members passed by, they also joined in without hesitation. They all helped until my phone was found, making us feel like part of the Jellystone family. My whole family absolutely loves Jellystone, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit to our favorite campground!
