We arrived on a rainy Friday afternoon. The rain was welcome, we hoped that maybe it would help with the HOT temperatures that we've been experiencing. Right away, we were impressed with the camp ground. As we approached the ranger station, a woman in a rain coat directed us to a parking spot and asked our name. Then she quickly ran up to a box and returned with our welcome packet. In it, we found a map of the park, our cabin keys and the schedule of events for the weekend.
We went directly to our cabin and started to unpack. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and efficiency of the cabin. We rented a Yogi In The Pines cabin. It came with everything we needed. We had to bring our own bed linens and towels, but everything else was provided. We had a stove, microwave, toilet and shower, and most important... air conditioning. Our cabin slept 8. There was one bedroom with a queen bed, a queen pull out couch in the front room (it was a kitchen/living room), and two full mattresses in the loft above the front porch. My girls (Lily is 4 and Madeline 2 1/2) LOVED the loft!! They could stand up, but Lily only had about 4 inches clearance. To them, it was a space just for kids. We set up a pack and play for Wyatt (14 months) in the bedroom. My in-laws came with us, we we had 4 adults and 3 kids all staying in the cabin. My cousin and her family met us there (2 adults, 3 kids) and my husband's best friend and his family (2 adults 2 kids) met us there too. All together, we were 8 adults and 8 kids. The other 2 family's stayed in the RV area of the campground. It's a little crowded, but they had a great time too. For a few hours on Saturday afternoon, we all wanted to escape the heat, so we were all in our cabin. The bigger kids played up in the loft and there was plenty of room for the rest of us. I was really surprised!
A+ on the entertainment! This campground has a water park! It was awesome.
I was very pleased with the slides and size of the play area. Around the slides is not too deep, and the water some how stayed chilled. I even took Wyatt down the water slides a couple of times. It was really fun!
Yogi Bear came out to greet the kids and raise the flag each morning. He was available for pictures. There were arts and crafts and games going on all weekend. On the website, there is a schedule of events for the rest of the year. If you're looking for a little get away for your family, check out Jellystone Park in Waller, Texas. I think you'll have a great time!
For 6 years I "lived" in Waller and have never heard of the Jellystone Park...probably because I was young and single. We are going back for Homecoming 2009. I am so glad that we have a place to stay that's near the University and family oriented! The girls are going to love it. Thanks for the review!! :0)
