The Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort locations near Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, are welcoming families as they celebrate the April 8 eclipse starting Friday, April 5.
Each location is planning a weekend full of themed events. The camp-resorts have moved up their spring opening dates to host families who want to experience the eclipse outdoors. They also are offering discounted off-season rates on RV and tent sites.
With Ohio one of the best states to view the eclipse, the two Jellystone Park locations are ideal family destinations, the company said in a release Wednesday. Both are miles away from the parking lot and streetlights that are expected to automatically illuminate when the sky darkens, yet they are just a short drive from most major cities.
The Cleveland-Sandusky Jellystone Park at 40-C Township Rd. 1031 in Nova is planning a Saturday night dance party and a Monday morning wagon ride. Complimentary eclipse glasses will be provided while supplies last, and souvenir T-shirts will be available. RV sites are $75 per night, and tent sites are $50 per night. Electric hookups, fire rings, picnic tables and community showers and restrooms will be available.
