To celebrate the Jellystone Park franchise 40th Anniversary in 2009, we are featuring a monthly Camping Memories contest in our e-newsletter. The author of the chosen story each month receives a package of Yogi Bear merchandise.  

Sign up to receive the monthly Jellystone Park Journal so you can enter too! 

The Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts team is truly enjoying hearing from our guests about their memories with their favorite bear! Every month we sort through the photos and emails Jellystone Park Journal readers send, searching for the best of the best. Below is a story from Laurel, Maryland resident Kelly D., who has been camping with us for a decade. Thanks, Kelly, for sharing your fun with us and giving us the chance to share your beautiful family with other guests.

We discovered the Jellystone Park in Hagerstown, MD about 10 years ago and have been going every year since!! We enjoy the mini golf, candy bar bingo, ceramics, outdoor movies and all of the other activities that the campground has to offer. They keep the kids busy and there is always something for everyone to enjoy.
 
In the summertime we go for the Rangers Revenge and Picnic Plunge in the new water zone park and in the fall we never miss the Halloween weekends.
 
I thought that we wouldn’t be going as much now that our girls are older, but I’m happy to say that they still enjoy it and the fall Halloween weekends have turned into multi-family events!!! We look forward to enjoying “our” Jellystone Park for many years to come!
 
I’ve included some pictures from our October 2008 Halloween weekend trip! My daughter and my two nieces really enjoyed the trick or treating from campsite to campsite and the Hey Ride with Cindy!!
