My family have stayed at the park many times and have enjoyed it. This last visit was a little different. FIrst off, we find out that we were bumped sites because I did not pay the site lock fee. I think this is a direct money grab. The price of the stay was over $330 to begin with not including the gas to get there. To pay an additional site lock fee is uncalled for. When you book the site in the first place you chose the site you want, why should you have to pay more to prove you really want that site ? On Saturday a tree came down and hit a powerline to knock out power to the campground. It was in the upper 90's which made for some hot camping. The campground did a good job and had Dominion out to fix the problem in about 3 hours. Woke up Sunday morning with no water in the campground. Not sure what the problem was but made it tough packing up. Lets hope they get the problems fixed.

Had an awesome time the campsite tho wasn't the best it was supposed to have cable hook up but it didn't and there is poison oak all around the site other than that the place is well maintained the bath houses are super clean

We stayed at a skyline cabin. For rustic lodging, it was not cheap. What we were not expecting was almost no utensils (no glasses, mixing bowl, pot, spatula, most of the basics), the blinds had a huge whole in them, the window air conditioner shut down because the filter was clogged with who knows what. Someone told us the place was under new management which explained the prices doubling. On the positive note, the maintenance crew was fast and efficient and took care of things quickly. Our daughter loved all the activities: pool, water slide, bounce bubble, paddle boats, zip line, etc. For the money, we wouldn’t go back to stay in the cabins. But ended up being a fun weekend.

Reviews Jellystone Luray was a great trip with our family of three with an almost 3 year old (and two dogs). We booked this trip because it was kid-centered and only a 30 minute drive. It ended up becoming a favorite vacation of ours and one we will continue to book. We stayed in a Premium Loft Cabin (with the oven and screened in porch options). I am more of a “glamping” person than a rough it person and this was a great option! It was a great amount of space (we used the loft as a play area). I can see it feeling cramped if there were more adults that joined our trip. Things we loved: Golf cart rental. It’s hard to tell from Google maps and pictures, but our cabin was at the top of a big hill and at least a minute’s ride to and from the pools (easily a 20 minute walk with a toddler). The golf cart definitely made the trips to and from the cabin possible. Splash pad. My toddler loved the splash pad options and little “bubbler pool” while the adults had a blast in with the water slides. Great options for all ages. (I do wish the pool hours began earlier, however) Different activities. When we needed a break from the pool, there were plenty of activities to keep us busy. The glitter tattoos were a big hit (and surprisingly lasted 3-4 days) as well as the play grounds. My toddler became really interested in Yogi after seeing him at Gem Mining. We were able to book a bedtime story last minute and the staff really delivered a great time! It ended up being just us, and it was a highlight of our trip. Our little was starstruck by Boo Boo Bear. Screened in Porch: this added so much extra living space to the cabin. The ceiling fan and lack of mosquitos was perfect and will always be something we book moving forward. Where there were some cracks: We visited in mid-July, the middle of peak season, and it was apparent in the smaller details. Our checkin time was delayed by 90 minutes and the cabin floor was very dirty (as in needed to be moped but was swept clean) but these are small things in the grand scheme of our trip. (Every staff member we saw was extremely kind and working very hard; these things are just par for the course in my opinion). Things I wish we would have brought: Walkie Talkies (Verizon service was nonexistent and WiFi was decent only around the ranger station) Over the door towel rack (bathroom had one very small towel bar) More decorations for our golf cart/campsite. It was so fun to see other sites go all out with the Christmas in July theme. It was a highlight of my toddler’s to drive around in the golf cart to look at the decorations. Overall, I came into this trip with no expectations and left knowing this will be a new yearly tradition for our family! The views are picturesque, there was always something to do and the lack of cell services really allowed us to disconnect and enjoy each other’s company.

Aside from the fact that the front desk “ladies” are rude, lazy, dirty/un kept looking, and eating while we were trying to check in, the pools are dirty. Their were bandaids, TP, a women's bathing suit sanitary liner, and other trash lying around pool side. They don’t have staff changing trash or cleaning. The chairs by the pool are so old and dry rotted. It’s gross! The grass was grown up and the put put golf area is run down. The day pass for 2 adults and 2 children was 160.00. So not worth it. Go to Massanutten Water Park it is so much better.

Been going for over 25 years which had always been wonderful with improvements every year. Now under new management and you can see the difference. Many outdoor staff are unfriendly. Also, one of the pool levels was so low it didn’t even make it to the skimmers. The activities aren’t what they used to be either.

We took our 2 grandchildren for 5 days and they had a ball! They enjoyed all the activities, including the pools, waterslides, mini golf, jumping pillows, gaga ball, and organized crafts and activities. We stayed in a deluxe comfort cabin. For 4 of us it was small but worked out fine with 2 younger children. My only complaint would be the lack of cleanliness of the cabin. It was obvious it had not been cleaned before we arrived, floor was dirty, especially along the walls and in the bathroom. Lots of black mold in bathroom and floor edges, including shower curtain. My husband said he saw mouse droppings so we made sure to keep all food up off the floor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider going again, but would need to make sure the cabins were much cleaner next time.

This place is for camping, don’t forget that. So don’t think you get a gorgeous huge space with all the frills. Our cabin was great for the 5 of us. We had twin over full. I did not encounter any staff that was rude or anything of that sort. Lots of activities for kids, water parks, mini golf, zip line. If you do laser tag, buy your ticket in advance of the game at the ranger station. We are definitely coming back next year when school is over.

Love our time at Yogi Bear! Nothing is better than this beautiful view of the outdoors and so much fun activities for the kids! My kids always look forward to our yearly trip! Cabins are awesome and clean!

Halloween at Yogi in Luray is amazing!! Fun for our entire family. We can't wait to get there every year and all of us (my family and all of the friends we've made at the campground) book our stay for the following year on our way out. So many decorations-everyone goes all out, so much for the kids to do (haunted trail, pumpkin decorating, costume contest and the most amazing trick or treating)-it is literally at the very top of our favorite things to do!
