Reservations are now open for the 2025 season at the new Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort on Watts Bar Lake, just 45 minutes southwest of Knoxville, Tennessee. Opening Feb. 7, this new campground and RV park offers an ideal lakeside getaway for families looking to create lasting memories.
The park hosts a wide range of amenities, including two resort-style pools and an interactive, multilevel water zone with slides and water cannons. The pet-friendly park also features a jumping pillow for endless bouncing fun, as well as courts for basketball, pickleball and gaga ball.
Nestled along the Watts Bar Lake, the park offers luxury glamping cabins equipped with full kitchens, bathrooms, linens, air conditioning and flat panel TVs. Spacious RV sites provide full hookups and spectacular views.
Of course, Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear and Boo Boo will be on hand to welcome the first visitors and interact with kids and grown-ups alike. Organized activities from arts and crafts to wagon rides will keep everyone entertained all day long.
The resort’s restaurant will serve up kid favorites, including pizza, nachos, fries, chicken tenders and homemade ice cream. The camp store will be stocked with essential supplies, food and souvenirs.
“We’re thrilled to soon welcome families to Jellystone Park Watts Bar Lake,” said Troy Sheppard, chief operating officer of Great Escapes RV Resorts, which developed and owns the resort. “Our team is eager to share all the beautiful water attractions and amenities with families from Tennessee and beyond.”
A full schedule of theme weekends has been developed, with Sports Pallooza scheduled for Feb. 7-9 to coincide with the Super Bowl. Classic competitions, new games and a cheerleader challenge will make for a high energy weekend, the company said.
