This was the cleanest campground I've stayed at ever. We stayed in a cabin. It was very clean and for the space that we had, laid out well. There is a full kitchen, fire pit, picnic table and more.
The amenities are great - we just wish they stayed open longer, but it was just after labor day.
The water attractions are perfect for families. The only complaint I have is the one pools filter appeared to be off and the pool got pretty nasty. The rest of the water attractions were great
We had such a great time at Jellystone in Gardiner. We stayed in a cabin, which was pricey, but air conditioning and a full kitchen and bathroom was priceless in a July heatwave. And watching the fireflies with my kids from our screened in porch was a memory I won't ever forget. ||There is sooo much to do for kids, we stayed for 4 days and didn't even get to do everything available. The lazy river and 2 pools and water park was amazing. We did all the free activities and didn't pay for anything extra, except ice cream. The kids played mini golf and did yoga with the characters and made crafts every day and jumped on the jumping pillow and played in the arcade and went on a tractor ride and played on the playground. All the sports equipment is free to rent so we played tennis and pickleball. They even had two mermaids come and swim with the kids and take pictures while we were there. ||We stayed near the river so we were close to everything, but we got a golf cart for 2 of the days we were there because the campground is huge and is so fun to drive around. There's a scavenger hunt that takes you around the whole campground and the kids had so much fun trying to find all the clues. ||You do have to bring your own linen and towels and charcoal and you have to buy your firewood from them, so even if you are staying in a cabin, plan to pack a lot. ||I would definitely recommend this campground to families and I would definitely go back.
I was nervous taking my two kids here alone as a single mom since we were staying in the rustic tent site. But when I arrived, I felt very safe, as there are all families with kids staying here. The camp site itself was fine. There was a BBQ which I wasn't aware there would be. My kids loved it and had a blast. So much for them to do. Everyday there are activities planned every 30 min- hour. Food was a little expensive by the pool for what it was. The store was convenient since we couldn't get the fire going, we were able to buy fire starter late. It closes at 10. The only thing I really was not happy with was the bathrooms closest to our campsite. They were smelly and the shower looked gross. I have stayed in other camp sites where the bathrooms/ showers were a lot cleaner, and u were able to stay longer because u could take a shower. Other than that, no complaints, and we plan on coming back every year.
Absolutely charming camping ground, great lodging with amenities. It can be crowded for weekend and holidays season. The pricing is on the high side to enjoy nature. Wish they allowed electric scooter and make trip enjoyable for kids. Not everyone loves to drive a golf cart.
We just came back from a 5 day trip with 2 adults and 6 children. We were able to rent a 2 bedroom cabin with the loft space and the kids and the adults all had fun. The cabin was clean. The linen rentals were worth every single penny. The golf cart was fun and so needed for the cabin we had chosen. All the activities were fun for the kids and they have never been so checked out of electronics for so long. It brought back so many memories watching the kids play basketball at night with the rain coming down on them. It was a blast for the family and we cannot wait for our next trip. Waterpark was small but fun, pools were perfect and lazy river was not so lazy with the surprise water splashing but overall the kids had a great time.
We had a wonderful 4 night stay in July! First, customer service was excellent! I had to change my reservation because of a death of a family friend and they were very helpful and accommodating. The AC was pumping in the cabin with was greatly appreciated in this heat wave. The cabin came with a lot of unexpected amenities and was very clean and inviting. ||There is so much to do for kids here, we spent most of our time in the pools, water park and lazy river because of the heat but it was nice to know lifeguards were all over and even a mermaid made an appearance and swam around. Even with it being busy there were plenty of places to sit and place our towels and bags. Our cabin was on flat ground so we didn’t need a golf cart and it was actually a nice walk even with it being so hot but I can see how you would need one depending on where you’re staying. The ranger station was fully stocked, there were activities all day long and easy to follow using the app. I purchased the fun pass for $75 which got so many other things like a popcorn bucket, ice cream, drinks, food, ceramic to decorate, tie dye etc. The staff were great, working hard in the heat and very helpful! We can’t wait to go back.
Great cabins and property! The cabins were very clean. Loved that the kitchens came stocked with pots, pans and soap! The pool can get very crowded but it's fun. The food options and lemonade drinks were also very good. The only downfall was lack of cell service from my carrier and wifi for emergencies etc. I had to go to the main area where you check in for any service. We had a blast and will be back next year!
Beautiful location and great amenities and staff. Please note if you have T-Mobile service and stay at the sites in the back away from the pool. You will not have service or the park wifi. However watching Sky Dive The Ranch come over and skydivers land near the campground was awesome. We stayed in the back and it was honestly a peaceful much needed break from being constantly connected. Golf cart rental is pricey and they drive extremely slow. Don't forget to take the scenic drive through the Minniewaska state park. Their visitors center is beautiful.
