We’ve been coming to Jellystone Park Indianapolis East for the past 4 years, visiting 2–3 times a year and always renting an RV. The owners and staff have truly become like a second family to us. We have an adult son with special needs, and they consistently go above and beyond to make his experience extra special. Their kindness and genuine care mean so much to us. The campground is family-owned, exceptionally well-run, and always spotless. The facilities are very clean, the gift shop is well-stocked with fun items, and there are endless activities to keep everyone entertained—including the always-popular bear visits! We highly recommend Jellystone Park Indianapolis East to anyone looking for a welcoming, family-friendly, and memorable camping experience. It truly is the best!

We stayed in a Cabin at Jellystone Campground. Cabin was HT1 it was perfect for our family of 4. we rented one of the golf carts and highly recommend doing this. This campground was truly one of the best we have been to in along time. It's a smaller campground but man when I tell you it did not disappoint at all! It was kept clean no matter where we were we always saw staff cleaning. The staff was so nice and helpful. When I tell you they keep the kiddos busy here they keep them busy with some many daily activities, from paint ceramics to crafts tie-dye shirts and even a foam pit they have it all. The pool was nice on the hot days we were there, it did get a little crowded I recommend get there early, but over all it was nice and clean. The stocked pond was nice we caught several fish including a snapping turtle! We paid to have the Bear him self come to our site to meet our kids and that was huge high light of their trip they enjoyed playing a game with Yogi and the received a toy plush from him. Don't let the other reviews scare you this campground is defiantly on to visit. We will be back! Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

We just got back from a week long family gathering that we held at Jellystone Park Knightsville. We had some 40 odd people from my youngest months old nephew to my 90+ year old grandparents. There was something to do for everyone. The management and staff were very accommodating and helpful through out our stay. We spent a lot of time swimming in the pool, playing on the playground, fishing at the lake, and having fun together as a big extended family. We enjoyed the fisherman's cabin, which was nice, if a little distant from the rest of the crew. My little guy eventually got over his shyness and wanted to see Yogi and his pals when they were out and about. We loved having story time with them. If we were to do it again, I think we would pick Jellystone in a heartbeat.

Was a great stay for the weekend with our 5 year old. He had a blast, and we had fun watching him enjoy his first ever camping trip. We stayed in the Wagon Rental for 2 nights. We loved it. The wagon was an interesting way to experience camping. My wife and I have camped many ways over the years from rustic to luxury. This was a new experience for us as well. Everything was great. The activities for the kids kept them entertained, and it was Dino weekend, so that had our sons interest. I would recommend future improvements to the bath houses. They are a bit cramped, and having to hold the water button in to give my son a shower was an adventure in itself. The pool could use more space as it was very crowded over the weekend. Plus, with no life guard, it was hard to keep order in the pool with the larger kids. The staff was amazing, special shout out to Cameron (who my son shyly refused to dance with but dad spun her & for all her help with activities.), Michelle (you were so helpful in our adventure in everyway.), all three bears Yogi, Cindy, and Boo Boo.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Jellystone in Knightstown, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! Firstly, the owners were incredibly nice and accommodating. They even upgraded my site due to weather concerns, which truly showed their commitment to guest comfort. The process for renting a golf cart was seamless, making it easy to explore the area. The campsites were beautiful and well-kept, and the staff was all incredibly welcoming. My family felt very safe throughout our stay, which is so important when camping. There was no limit to the fun activities available, and everything we needed was right at the campground. If we forgot any essentials, we could grab them quickly without a hassle. The owners took the time to show us around and even joked with me about how much wood I was burning for our campfire! Overall, I can say that the people at Jellystone are excellent, with great energy, making it a safe and fun place for families. Best of all, it was very reasonably priced. I can’t wait to return!
