  We booked a last minute weekend for our 4 kids ranging from 4-10 years old. We had a fantastic time, so many activities for the kids and parents to enjoy. Every staff we interacted with were so kind and went above and beyond. The bathrooms were cleaner than I had expected being its dirt roads and we had some patches of rain. We did not need to leave the campground for anything as their store was stocked. We are looking forward to booking again and as requested by the kids "making this a yearly tradition"

  This was my families 1st time camping and at Yogi Bear! We stayed in the glamping tent with 3 kids (12,9 and 19 months) and can I just say the kiddos had a wonderful time they didn’t want to leave! There’s lots to do many many activities and the staff are all so friendly. Rating this 4 stars as I wish it was more diverse not sure if it was the area or not but that was a bit uncomfortable (nothing to do with the site it’s self) and also wish the lake was cleaner where you could comfortably swim & maybe a little more for the little ones like a splash pad or something along those lines. But overall great stay we would come back. Thanks for having us.

  Overall, it’s a great place for the kids to have fun, get lost, make friends, and create memories. Our campsite was clean and well maintained. I have to say however that there are some things that need attention!! The shared bathrooms are not good. I would not recommend using them if you don’t have to. I think they probably get cleaned maybe once per week and it’s by a kid in preschool. They don’t even squeegee out the bathrooms near the beach… there is always a massive puddle in front of the toilet. There has also been a clogged toilet for three days in the ladies room. Why isn’t anyone tending to it?? It finally had a sign up but all they need to do is plunger it out. Last comment… get better icecream. Actually… all around, the ice cream parlor is a joke. The staff is very stingy with the scoops, the ice cream is melted immediately upon eating it, and it’s pricey for what you get. Don’t recommend going!!! They could take a few notes from the Taber City Jellistone in NC. Clean and great ice cream!

  Listen up, fellow parents. If you are navigating the wilderness with two absolutely feral children whose digestive tracts operate like heavy industrial machinery, pull up a cooler and let me tell you about our time at the Jellystone Yogi Bear Resort in Endicott. This place is a legendary battleground of family fun, incredible food, and extreme plumbing stress-tests. The Great Flood of RV Site 3 A Let’s get right to the dirty details: my kids poop. They poop with a volume and frequency that defies the laws of physics. They pooped so much during this trip that our toilet simply surrendered, waved a white flag, and backed up, creating a biblical flood right there in the RV. Enter the Jellystone staff. These glorious, unsung heroes swooped in without judgment and helped us handle a biohazard situation that would have made a lesser man weep. They are definitely understaffed—you can tell everyone is wearing multiple hats—but they pour their absolute hearts into this place, and they genuinely care about saving your vacation from literal ruin. Brenda, Mike, and the Fuel for the Fire To satisfy the ravenous hunger of my unruly offspring (and to fuel their ongoing need to clog plumbing), we hit up the Pick-a-Nic basket cafe. Let me tell you about Brenda and Mike. The food they are putting out is super pro. The milkshakes? Absolute liquid gold that kept my kids quiet for exactly four minutes. The wings? Mind-blowingly delicious and cooked to absolute perfection. Now, I have to be honest here as a dad. After downing a heroic portion of those killer wings... I went back to the RV and utterly destroyed whatever structural integrity that poor, recently-fixed toilet had left. I annihilated it. Brenda and Mike, I blame your incredible cooking, and I thank you for it. The Unsung Heroes of the Campground You can't talk about this place without mentioning the people holding it all together: The Activities Director: I am firmly convinced this woman has not slept since the late 2010s. She is so wildly overworked, yet she remains the kindest, hardest working individual we saw all week. She handles screaming children with the grace of a hostage negotiator. The Honey Wagon Crew: A massive tip of the dad-hat to the porta-potty cleaners. The legendary "honey wagon" is constantly doing laps around this resort. Sure, it wafts an unmistakable eau-de-poo smell as it slowly rolls past your campfire, but that beautiful machine is always moving—emptying out the honey so the bees can keep coming. God bless them. The Verdict Despite the chaos my family brought to their infrastructure, our neighbors were incredibly kind, constantly offering smiles (and probably hoping the wind didn't shift). The staff here might be stretched thin, but they are the absolute backbone of this resort, running on sheer willpower and a love for the campers. Come here if you want to have fun, eat like royalty, and hang out with good, down-to-earth people. Just maybe bring a plunger if you're traveling with my kids. 10/10, we will be back.

  Surviving and Thriving at Yogi's Endicott Oasis: A Tale of Wings, Water, and Wonder Women If you are looking for an unfiltered, glorious, slightly chaotic, and fundamentally fantastic camping experience, pull up a folding chair, because I have thoughts on the Jellystone Yogi Bear Resort in Endicott, NY. Let me break down the ecosystem of this woodland utopia for you, from the culinary triumphs to the unexpected aquatic adventures. The RVs: Luxury Living (With Occasional Geysers) Let's start with the accommodations. The RVs are genuinely nice! You walk in, and you feel like a glamorous woodland creature who has their life put together. However, a word to the wise: be prepared for the plumbing to occasionally develop a mind of its own. Every now and then, the water decides it misses you and aggressively backs up to say hello. It’s less of a "maintenance issue" and more of a surprise "Poseidon’s Revenge" interactive water feature. Don't panic. Just accept that you are living in nature, and sometimes nature wants to come back up the pipes. Bring a good attitude, maybe some water shoes, and you'll be just fine. The Activities Director: An Actual Superhero I am fully convinced that the Activities Director is not a mere mortal, but rather a hyper-caffeinated angel sent from above to ensure our children are entertained. Is she overworked? Yes. I’m pretty sure she’s vibrating at a higher frequency than the rest of the human race and is doing the jobs of at least five people simultaneously. Is she the kindest, most hardworking individual on the planet? Also yes. This woman will sprint across the campground, organize a tie-dye session, mediate a dispute over a dodgeball, and still go completely out of her way to make sure your specific family is having the time of their lives. Give this woman a cape and a raise. The Pick-a-Nic Basket: Michelin-Star Magic in the Woods Move over, Gordon Ramsay, because Brenda and Mike at the Pick-a-Nic Basket food cafe are the true culinary wizards of our generation. The Professionalism: These two run that cafe with the precision of a military operation, yet with the warmth of your favorite grandparents. The Milkshakes: Transcendent. Life-altering. They bring all the bears to the yard. The Wings: Absolutely killer. I am talking devastatingly good. I would happily fight Yogi Bear hand-to-hand in the parking lot for the last flat. Do not pack food. Just hand your wallet to Brenda and Mike and let them take care of your soul. The Grounds & The "Good Help" Conundrum Okay, let’s address the elephant (or bear) in the room. The grounds need some upkeep. The grass might be a little long, and some things need a fresh coat of paint. But listen to me: cut them some slack. We all know that finding good workers right now is like trying to find a unicorn that knows how to use a weedwhacker. It is incredibly hard to find reliable help, and they are clearly doing the best they can against the current labor market. They can’t help that they haven't found a massive crew of groundskeepers yet. What matters is this: the staff they do have are absolute gems. They will literally bend over backward and go wildly out of their way to make sure your stay is nothing short of the best. The Final Verdict Come to the Endicott Jellystone because the camping is genuinely a blast and the crowds are incredibly nice—just a bunch of fun people looking to eat some killer wings and dodge the occasional plumbing anomaly. The staff is the beating heart of this resort. Embrace the quirks, worship the Activities Director, tip Brenda and Mike, and get ready for a hilariously good time. 10/10 would risk a backed-up drain for those wings again.
