Four Points RV Resorts is adding a fifth Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort franchise to its portfolio. Four Points recently acquired LeBleu Lakes RV Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and is converting it to a Jellystone Park Camp-Resort for the 2025 season.
Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts are renowned for attractions such as pools and water slides, nonstop family activities, up-close fun with the Yogi Bear characters and glamping-style accommodations, the company said. With more than 75 franchised locations across the United States and Canada, Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts operates in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.
The Yogi Bear-themed Camp-Resort will open with about 200 campsites in time for Memorial Day and will eventually grow to more than 350 sites. Four Points is planning a series of major improvements.
“We’re excited to transform this park into a truly great campground and add it to our growing portfolio of Jellystone Park locations across the country,” said Four Points CEO Sean Vidrine.
Four Points owns and operates seven campgrounds, including four Jellystone Park locations in four states. The company’s Yogi Bear-themed Camp-Resorts are located in Bloomington, Indiana; Mansfield, Pennsylvania; Monticello, Iowa; and Pittsfield, Illinois.
Vidrine said the addition of a Jellystone Park location to Lake Charles is especially sweet because he grew up in Lake Charles and has his corporate headquarters there. “After all these years, we finally have a Jellystone Park in my hometown,” he said.
“We are refurbishing all of the park’s water features, including its swimming pool, water slides and splashground,” Vidrine said. He added, “We’re also adding a new resort-style pool with a tanning deck and a floating obstacle course in the lake along with other amenities such as pedal boats and paddleboards.”
Four Points is also planning to refurbish the campground’s miniature golf course and remodel the park store as well as the park’s 11 cabins.
“We will also resurface all of the roads and upgrade all of the water, sewer and electrical connections,” Vidrine said, adding that all of these improvements are expected to be completed before the park reopens as a Jellystone Park in the Spring.
