The new Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park location near Zion National Park is quickly becoming a favorite destination for families from Utah, Nevada and beyond.
The expansive luxury camping, glamping and RV resort opened Memorial Day weekend and was completely sold out for the Fourth of July.
Set against a stunning mountain backdrop in Hurricane, Utah, the Jellystone Park location is 30 minutes from Zion National Park, two hours north of Las Vegas and four hours south of Salt Lake City. The first resort of its type in Utah, Jellystone Park Zion welcomes both overnight and day-use guests.
A massive water zone, which features two large swimming pools, multiple giant water slides, a “splashground” with kiddie slides and a lazy river is the resort’s most popular attraction. There is also a man-made lake complete with a sandy beach and a floating obstacle course. Kids also can take advantage of a jumping pillow, large playground, gem mining and a number of sports courts and games. Weekend fall and Halloween theme events, foam parties, dance parties, wagon rides and arts and crafts round out the programming calendar.
“We are thrilled that so many families are already discovering our Jellystone Park,” said Scott Nielson, the local entrepreneur who developed and owns the resort. “As a dad, I just love seeing kids and their parents having so much fun together.”
Nielson added that most out-of-town families are visiting from Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, however the park has attracted guests from across the country with some traveled from as far as New York.
The Camp-Resort features luxury glamping cabins that include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a loft, air-conditioning, a sky deck roof accessible via a spiral staircase, a kitchen, grill, fire ring, Wi-Fi and linens. RVers can take advantage of pull-through and back-in sites, all with full hook-ups and plenty of room to accommodate today’s large rigs.
According to Jellystone Park, late summer and fall are among the most popular times for families to enjoy the outdoors together.
“As word about Jellystone Park Zion has spread on social media, reservations are really picking up, but we still have some cabin and RV reservations available in late August, September and October,” Nielson said.
He also said that along with overnight guests, families who are vacationing in the Zion area are taking advantage of the resort’s “daycation” options. Daily passes to the location are available and they provide access to all of the property’s water attractions, dry attractions and daily activities. Guests can enhance their stay by renting a poolside cabana or booking a daycation pod which is a mini cabin with air conditioning, a refrigerator, TV and more.
