We are happy to show off the park but you absolutely need to call in advance to set up an appointment. If you show up without a scheduled appointment, you will be turned away. 

We recommend booking at least 6 months in advance of desired arrival date, as our Camp-Resort will fill up quickly! We book reservations up to 360 days in advance, so you can even re-book your stay for 2020 at checkout!

Our office hours vary depending on the season. During Prime Season, our office hours are:

Sunday – Wednesday: 8AM – 8PM
Thursday – Friday: 8AM – 10PM
Saturday: 8AM – 9PM

*Hours are subject to change.

We do offer you the opportunity to guarantee your favorite cabin or campsite location by paying our applicable lock-in fee. If you opt out of the lock-in fee, you are guaranteed your selected site or cabin type, but not the specific unit number. If you are booking an RV site, new park model cabin, or tent site for 2019, lock-in fees will not apply. 

Yes we do. We offer early and extended access for a fee. Early access (before check-in time) does not guarantee site/cabin will be ready or available at time of arrival. Extended access (after check-out time) does not guarantee guest will be able to stay on site/in cabin until departing from the Camp-Resort. Early access/extended access only guarantees access to the Camp-Resort and amenities, which requires parking in overflow. Access is based on availability – please call for info. We absolutely cannot accommodate access prior to 11am, so please plan your travel accordingly.

Yes! Pets are allowed at our campsites, but not at our playground, restrooms, or other buildings. There is a two pet max for campsites. Select cabins are pet-friendly for a nightly fee. One pet is $11/night (maximum of $44) and two pets are $16/night (maximum of $64). Guests or visitors may not bring pets with them. If they arrive with a pet, they may not be permitted to enter the Camp-Resort. Pet owners must keep their pet leashed at all times and are responsible for noise control and clean up. We reserve the right to remove hostile or disruptive pets from the park. You can view our pet waiver here.

We do! Quiet hours are:

10pm – 8am, Sunday – Thursday
11pm – 7am, Friday – Saturday

Any guest under 18 years of age must be at their site or cabin during these hours, unless accompanied by an adult.

With the exception of sparklers, fireworks are not allowed in Jellystone Park™.

They are, but the beverage must be held in an unmarked container or koozie. This is a family-friendly Camp-Resort, so please be considerate of others and refrain from loud and unseemly language.

We have firewood available for purchase at our Camp Store or Ranger Station. Campers are not allowed to bring their own firewood due to regulations from the NC Department of Agriculture. To preserve the beauty of our wooded Camp-Resort, please do not cut down or damage trees in any way.

Because the Camp-Resort is full of active families with children, the speed limit throughout the Camp-Resort is 5MPH and is strongly enforced for your safety. We realize that this is ridiculous. If you do not feel that you are driving ridiculously slow, then you are driving too fast.

For safety and liability reasons, guests are not permitted to bring any personal motorized vehicles, such as golf carts, into Jellystone Park™. While we do not like to be the fun police, guests found in violation of this policy may be asked to leave without refund. For your convenience, we do offer golf cart rentals that allow accessing our Camp-Resort easy…and fun!

Since we are a family Camp-Resort, smoking, including vaping, of any kind is not permitted in common and indoor areas, including but not limited to the pool area, playgrounds, pavilions and all buildings. Smoking is not permitted within 50ft. of any building entrance. Smoking is not permitted inside cabins or on cabin porches, but is permitted outside at cabin sites. Smoking is permitted at campsites, but must be confined to your designated site. Smoking of any substances besides tobacco and vaporizers will not be tolerated. Management reserves the right to fine violators of this policy.

We do, but the signal strength varies throughout the Camp-Resort. It’s best near the Lodge, Camp Store, and Lakeside Pavilion. We think this is the perfect time to disconnect and enjoy the great outdoors!

Good question! We have a jam-packed calendar of themed weeks and weekends throughout the season. You can find a list of our upcoming themes HERE.
