Richard and Nancy Felber’s campground has only been part of the Jellystone Park network for four years, but the Felbers have won top awards every year from the company that franchises the Yogi Bear themed campgrounds.
The Felbers’ latest honor, the Regional Camp Resort of the Year Award, was presented to them in November by Leisure Systems, the Milford, Ohio-based company that franchises 80 Jellystone Parks across the U.S. and Canada.
The Regional Camp-Resort of the Year Award is LSI’s highest honor at the regional level. It is given to Camp-Resorts whose facilities and operations exceed all Jellystone Park standards. Recipients must be Pinnacle Club members, meaning they rate 95 percent or higher on the annual LSI assessment of their facilities and operations. Award recipients also must have achieved strong growth in business, implemented sustained improvements and be leaders in the industry.
“We were very pleased and honored to receive this recognition,” said, Nancy Felber, who runs the 202-site campground with her husband, Richard, their daughter, Sara, and son-in-law, Nick.
She added that their park continues to grow, having achieved a 22 percent increase in revenue this year.
The Felbers previously won LSI’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award for having achieved the most significant year-over-year sales and occupancy growth in 2016 of any Jellystone Park in their revenue category.
