First trip to a Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Hill Country. I read the reviews about the cabins being dirty (not thoroughly clean especially with COVID-19 still happening) but I decided to go in with an open mind. Unfortunately the reviews were correct. The cleaning crew did a very basic cleaning job, if they even cleaned at all. We had to clean everything again, including wiping down door handle, light switches, counters, tables, bunk beds. The toilet seats still had urine from the previous occupants, the floors needed to be swept. Considering the cost to book a vacation here, we expect a nicer cabin. Or at least one that was clean and sanitized
Instead of making a big deal we cleaned everything and started our Labor Day weekend. The park was fun for the whole family. Lots of activities and fun things to keep the whole family entertained. The pool and water park area were a big hit for the kids and adults. Our children had a great time with the arts and crafts that were provided (at an extra cost). The bikes that are available for rent definitely need an upgrade, they are old and rusty.
We rented golf carts to get around but the cost is a little on the high price. We also rented a pool cabana and for the size and quality, it wasn't worth the cost. Might as well just sit under the shady trees.
We stayed in the 2 bedroom cabin, although it states that up to 10 ppl fit, it was much too small for us 6 adults, 3 children and 1 toddler. The beds had a protective cover that created so much heat at night. The sofa bed was terrible, the only thing that made it tolerable was the fact that we took a bed foam topper. The AC worked well for the most part.
My advice would be to try a different Jellystone Park. While the Hill Country didn't meet our expectations, we still made the best out of it and had a good family trip. Probably won't return again but it was a good family adventure

The cabin was not clean well, I went to front desk to let them know and the guy offered me a broom, I recommend you bring your own inflatable bed because the beds in cabins are so cheap you might want to sleep in the floor, I felt they had preference in customers the lady just said here is your key and your bracelet and all info is in the bag meanwhile to other customers she went all out explaining the whole park and activities, I even asked hey I heard you mentioned this and that can you give me info she said, loh it’s in the brochure inside the bag”. I don’t think I would go back. Customer service is everything and we are all paying good money to stay here I would have loved to be treated the same. This was my personal experience

Firstly, there were several activities to do, which is good for the kids, but that was about the only good thing out of the trip. Premium prices are paid for a room, then you also have to “rent” sheets for each bed, with their own cost. Ridiculous. There was black mold on the drywall above the shower head. Ridiculous. They have a small arcade, which half of the games were broken or out of order. You have to clean your room before checkout or you are charged a cleaning fee. Ridiculous. Overall, we were not pleased with the stay. Make some changes and maybe we’ll return.

Maybe Ok for camping, but horrible for leisure stay. I called unaware of the specifics looking for a place for my parents. They asked me if I had stayed there before, I said no and explained I needed a comfortable room for my parents. End result, its a soley camping style place, not comfortable, rooms smelled, no sheets for the ripped worn out beds, no refunds, horrible rooms and reception never explained the basics of what to expect even when asked nor cared to and didn't allow refunds just credit only. Don't stay here unless you know what to expect and lack all other options. I was not looking for camping and explained this to the receptionist, but she led me on to believe that these rooms were suitable for my parents. She was not rude, but not nice(which made it more rude). Also, why ask if you have ever stayed there and not explain the rules and specifics of what to expect when clearly I was asking for something different. A simple 10-20 second explanation would have sufficed and we would have moved on eg. "Bring your own sheets, cabins are set up for camping, no refunds and we are kid friendly but you have to pay for every activity separately and we charge for additional people/kids to use any of our services or do anything out of the room, including parking." Simple explanation right? Apparently to simple to explain to me even though I asked repeatedly. Also, who doesn't give refunds but maybe credit for a place you will never go back to? I'm utterly disappointed by this place and there lack of customer service. Don't stay here unless you are expecting to camp and want to stay in a smelly unatractive room with ripped beds with no sheets and lacking comfort. The worst thing is that I asked repeatedly if this would be a good place to stay for my parents who are older and was lead on to believe so. I find this unacceptable and was totally lied to. Horrible!

Pool and mini golf was great. Food personnel were rude and took an hour to get food and then they were out of everything and could care less. One trash can in area where everyone was sitting watching their kids and stayed full. Cabin was dirty. Looked like it had not been swept, mopped or cleaned in months. Was told it slept 10 but that's a joke. Only slept 6 at most. The upstairs AC was not working and we finally got someone to change the filter and it had not been changed in years. Entry door was mildewed and filthy. Was not worth the price we paid plus having to bring everything with you. Arcade took your money and everything was broken. Washateria was closed and no explanation and shower heads needing replacing. Their excuse was no help but at the prices they charge they could hire a cleaning company to do the work. We won't be back.

The price was extremely high $$$ to stay there and the park and everything was small compared to other Jelly Stones parks we have visited in Texas. The price is double compared to our favorite JellyStone park in Burleson, and you must bring your own sheets, towels, etc to Canyon Lake Jelly Stone. The park is very small and not well set up for children to ride bikes and plan in or around your campsites/ cabins. The “waterpark” was actually just a splash pad with two slides age appropriate for children ages up until about 10 yrs old (older children would be bored quickly). There were two other swimming pools and a very small slide for toddlers and water spout(s) for the smaller kids. Pros: The staff were kind at the front desk, not all activities cost additional money, fire pits were at our cabins.

My entire family, cousins, kids and I went to visit Yogi Bear Park. There were many activities that are not allowed at this time due to Covid. Swimming pool is also limited on when you can go in and when you can’t. My biggest complaint is at check out, we could not find our room Key. I offered to take the spare key, or copy they must have because they opened my cabin when I asked them too. They claim they don’t have one (remind you they opened my cabin for me) and that I had to pay a fee. The lady at the counter don’t know how much to charge, so she asked the lady next to her and she said $50. The way she said it made it seem like they just made up a number. Who charges $50 for a regular not chipped key. Again I offered to drive to Walmart and make a copy/replacement for them and they said no. They would change out the doors hardware. Now you know they are not going to change out no hardware. They just going to use the extra key they have. $50 for a key is outrageous. And no where on the check in disclosure does it say they charge $50. They just say you will be charged a damage fee. $50 ????? What ever. Making up a number is not the way to go. There was 25 of us that went, renting 4 cabins, and over $50, we will not visit this park again. We spent over $6,000 dollars and they worried about $50. Well, there is you $50 and won’t see us again. I don’t mind paying for damages, but these ladies behind the counter acted like they didn’t care about the customers at all. Won’t go back

Our first visit to Jellystone Park was in Kerrville TX, we had such an amazing experience that we decided to visit Jellystone Park in Canyon Lake TX. I’m sorry to say we were terribly disappointed; this park is more about how many people we can fit in to this small location. For example, in our area there were three cabins placed in the same location adjacent to each other. If you plan on staying during the summer, be warned our cabin was extremely warm. The cabin had a window unit in the living room with nothing in the bedrooms except for vent fans pulling in air from the living area. Park workers drove the golf cart extremely fast. The opportunity for the children to have a photo opt. with the characters are limited. My four-year-old grandson and daughter approach a character was denied a picture. Most of the activities were unorganized with a delayed starting time. The Picnic Basket pizza wasn't a favorite for my family, but the funnel fries were a hit. The employees at the Ranger station were friendly but helpful and politeness stopped there.

This is the 2nd year we have stayed here as winter Texans (January-February). 2022 experience very different than 2021. Staff was not able to answer any questions we had. Nor did they ever offer to find answers (ex. when will laundry room open? How is electricity billed?). We needed propane and they said they didn't have any with no idea when they would have it. The laundry facilities were closed the entire stay and no one could suggest alternate place for laundry. We stayed in the same spot in 2021 with no issues with wi-fi internet. This year, there was no wi-fi internet except near the offices. No explanation except that they were going to change their website to reflect this. We felt we should have been advised before the reservation that laundry and internet were not available. Would have probably gone elsewhere since it was a 2 month stay. Cable TV went in and out and was often not a clear picture. If staying for a weekend for recreation, these items are not as important. However, these amenities are very important for long term stays.

Cost was $56 for week night and $67 for Friday night. This was for a tent site. It is a nice park with pool, mini golf etc but to charge those kind of prices in February when nobody is using outside amenities is terrible. I would not go back. Uneven site with tree roots all over.

Hello! Yes, there is a limit of 1 tent per tent campsite. You are more than welcome to book a second campsite if you would like to use more than 1 tent. Please call our reservations team at 830-256-0088 to book another site. :)
(I ask because when we arrived it was freezing cold, then for some reason heat was coming out, and now it is cooling....but we have no idea how to manually change it. There are no buttons).
There are more places to choose from in the Canyon Lake area.
