Illinois’ renowned family retreat, Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort at Pine Lakes, has completed an extensive multi-million dollar expansion, transforming the park into an all-inclusive vacation destination.
The project, executed over two years introduces a myriad of new attractions and sophisticated glamping accommodations.
The park is now poised to become the preferred getaway for families not only from nearby St. Louis and Chicago but also from other central Midwest cities.
The enhancements are set to solidify Jellystone’s iconic status, as the resort marries the tranquility of its lush natural surroundings with engaging activities and popular character interactions featuring Yogi Bear.
Water-based activities have been significantly upgraded as part of the expansion. Guests can now cool off in two additional water slides and a brand-new water playground complete with a splash pad. These attractions promise to add a new level of excitement for the younger guests and create a family-friendly atmosphere.
Accommodation at Jellystone Park has always been integral to the guest experience, and this aspect has been greatly augmented through the expansion.
A total of 30 luxury glamping cabins have been added, offering amenities such as full kitchens and bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-panel TVs, and high-quality, hotel-style furniture, ensuring guests feel at home during their stay.
Furthermore, four new glamping tents have been introduced, allowing guests to experience camping in style, complete with kitchens, luxury rain showers, air conditioning, and carefully curated rustic designer furniture.
Additionally, two new vacation rental homes have been added, including one featuring a private pool for those seeking an extra layer of luxury and privacy.
To cater to guests’ immediate needs and wants, the park has added a new camp store, fully stocked with vacation essentials and unique souvenirs that will serve as mementos of their memorable stay at Jellystone Park.
In the heart of the park is Pine Lake, known for its sandy beach and expansive floating obstacle course – the largest in the state. Whether it’s boating, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply enjoying a hike around the encircling trail, Pine Lake offers an array of options to enjoy the great outdoors.
Alongside a pool, the park now boasts a new jumping pillow. From wagon rides and gel blasters to arts and crafts and memorable interactions with the beloved characters Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear, and Boo Boo, there’s something to entertain everyone.
Sean Vidrine, CEO of Four Points RV Resorts, stated, “With our recent expansion, Jellystone Park at Pine Lakes is a one-stop vacation destination.”
“With so many attractions and activities, everyone gets to do what they like without ever leaving the property,” Vidrine added.
As part of their commitment to making a vacation at Jellystone Park affordable, most activities and attractions are included in the cost of a cabin, RV site, or tent site rental.
With this significant expansion and new amenities and activities, Jellystone Park is ready to welcome visitors for an unforgettable and unique vacation experience.
