If you've ever dreamed of waking up to fresh air, the sound of birds chirping, and the gentle rustling of leaves—while knowing that all the comforts of home are just a stone's throw away—seasonal camping might be the perfect experience for you. At Jellystone Park™ Golden Valley, you'll find a family-friendly location packed with fun activities, amenities, and opportunities to make lasting memories. Let’s take a look at what a day in the life of a seasonal camper is like at this one-of-a-kind family campground in North Carolina!

The Daily Routine

Start your day early by enjoying a peaceful morning at your RV site. The refreshing feeling of the Blue Ridge Mountains morning air can be crisp, and the scenic surroundings will instantly make you feel like you’re on vacation. Imagine waking up and stepping out of your cozy RV, which is just a short walk from all the excitement. If you're in the mood for something leisurely, head over to one of our four on-site dining options, or make an easy breakfast over the fire right outside your RV.

After breakfast, it’s time for some fun! If you're searching for a campground with a pool in North Carolina, Jellystone Park™ Golden Valley is the option for you. The water activities are perfect for both kids and adults, so whether you’re in the mood to splash around or relax on a lounge chair by the Ranger Smith™ Pool, you’ll find a perfect spot to unwind.

But the water park is just the beginning! If you’re feeling adventurous, take on the water wibit, water zipline, or take a hike on our camping resort's trails. You might even spot a few deer or other wildlife as you explore the surroundings of our campground in the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you prefer something more interactive, check out our themed events, where you and your family can enjoy a jam-packed scheduled filled with activities.

After a fun-filled morning, it’s time for a family lunch. Grab some groceries, camping supplies, firewood, beer & wine, Yogi Bear™ souvenirs, and more from the Ranger Station, or head back to your RV site to enjoy a homemade picnic. Many seasonal campers take advantage of their home away from home atmosphere to cook up something special on their personal grills.

Once you’ve recharged, the afternoon is perfect for exploring some of the other exciting attractions. Jellystone Park™ Golden Valley offers a range of options like mini-golf, water slides, and arts & crafts for the kids. You’ll also love our Blue Ridge Mountain Coaster which attracts thrill seekers from far and near to our Blue Ridge Mountain campground.

As the sun begins to set, the campground's serene beauty transforms into a magical evening. For dinner, why not try a classic campground favorite—a dinner made by a roasting fire, and for dessert, s'mores by the campfire! It’s an essential part of the seasonal camping in North Carolina.

Afterwards, gather with friends and family for some good old-fashioned storytelling whether in the comfort of your RV or outside around the campfire. From movies and board games, to relaxing by the fire and stargazing, the choice is yours at our North Carolina seasonal campground.
