Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: Chincoteague Island

Overall we really enjoyed our time here. The park is really nice although I was surprised at the amount of trash all around. The bathrooms were very clean though, even if they were a bit of a trek from our site. The hookups were all at the rear of the site which made it hard for a small camper like me, my connections weren’t really long enough (I didn’t hook up water because I have a leak I’m waiting to repair). The amenities are good: playground, jumping pillow, arcade, camp store, kayak launch. There’s a water park walking distance but it was closed for the season. All of the amenities are at the front of the park, not exactly centrally located. There are a lot of cabins, rental RVs, glamping tents, etc and it seemed like a lot of the guests were staying there instead of rv sites. It was a lot noisier than I’m used to, dogs barking and TVs blaring. I don’t like their “No tents on rv sites” policy. There was plenty of room on the site for a tent, and again as a smaller camper pitching a tent is the only way to have more than 2 people stay with me (up to 6 guests are allowed per site). WiFi was spotty away from the main building.

Camped in a 38' Class A (Fleetwood Discovery).

Would not camp here outside the summer months. (Not much to do...) Tight roads, tight spaces.

The bads: Overall, this campground is not a bad place. Just a little too overpriced for me. ($350+ for 2 nights.) First time at this campground. Wasn't offered an escort. (Guess they do not do that here.) Dodged cars, bikes, kids, and tractors to get to my site. (No easy task in a 38' Class A.) Then we got to our site (Site 268) and it was a varsity parking job. Thankfully the neighbors helped me get in. The park is clean, but crowed. Tenters walk through your site like they own the place.

The Goods: It is close to all the attractions Chincoteague has to offer. The kids really enjoyed the waterslides. The place was quiet for how crowded it was. There were some activities, but we had family visiting so we did not really make it a priority.

Bottom line, this place would have been 4 or 5 stars if they charged less than $100 per night. Sun Outdoors needs to be more realistic on what they are charging. If you are going to pay this much, you might as well go to one of their properties in Ocean City, MD (like Castaways or FrontierTown) instead.

Stayed during the Labor Day weekend. Very crowded but that’s to be expected on a holiday weekend. Camped in our travel trailer on a pull through gravel site with full hook ups plus the site had concrete pad with table and chairs. Sites are very close together so do not expect any kind of privacy. We were expecting a shaded site per the website but there was none so it was unbearable to sit outside until dusk and the website said that the site would have a chiminea which it didn’t. WiFi was extremely slow so we ended up using our phones as hotspots. If you have kids there’s a water park and bounce pad that looks like fun. There are many good places to eat if you’re looking for food. The park is close enough to ride bikes to Assateague Island to see the ponies and go to the beach. That’s the best part imo about camping here. You can also kayak from the camp ground

My kids had a great time at the water park. The water park is not included but you do get a discount if you’re camping at yogi. Make sure to bring your bug spray but that’s everywhere down here not just this park. The water pressure here is very low, I first thought it was my regulator so I took it off and still very low water pressure. The septic tanks here are pumped out by a truck. I’ve noticed a septic smell throughout the camper for about 15 mins after I dump my black tank. Not a big deal but just a heads up. I think this has to do with the park septic system being stored in “tanks” that are pumped. Staff that I encountered were helpful and nice. Wi-Fi was spotty as I’ve seen pretty much anywhere we’ve camped. Bathrooms and showers throughout the park were clean and well kept.

We came just as the camping season began and a week before the water park opened so the campground was not busy at all! The staff was really friendly and worked with us to get my parents in the camp site right next to ours. We stayed in the wooded so there was plenty of shade and the trees helped breakup and slow down the winds. The site itself as nothing special. We where camping in the trees so some sites where level and some where not even close. It was a hit or a miss on what site you got so bring plenty of stuff to level your rig.

All things considered we would stay here again. It’s close to the park and beach and the kids had fun. We also came durning the very beginning of the season. So once summer hits and the campground along with the water park fill up, I’m sure it’s a different experiences.

This is a newly converted park from a KOA so everything is fresh and new. Signage, bathrooms, laundry, and store are all very well maintained. The site was a fairly level gravel pad with concrete patio and new chairs and table. The hookups were standard but beware this rows spigots were set very low to the ground such that regulators couldn’t be used. So, we dug a hole so we could. Very poor design.

The park is located very close to the national park which makes it ideal base camp. The town is cute and has lots of good restaurants. We were there off season so many places were closed. The park offers bike rentals so you can bike tour the park. We did all the trails in a day… about 10 miles worth.

The park offered brand new golf carts to get around in the park, which was both fun and convenient. There are age restrictions of 18 but not many people observed it and park staff were not overly aggressive with enforcing it.

By Friday the park filled up! But we didn’t feels that we were crowded. There were lots of kids having fund as well as a bunch of dogs. So, if you’re looking for a quiet off grid experience, this isn’t the place. We personally enjoyed all the laughter and parents observed quiet hours. A few rookies walked through our camp site which we addressed quickly. They just didn’t know and were respectful.

Finally, the staff here are great!! Very helpful with great personalities. There wasn’t anything they were not willing to help with.

We would stay here again for sure.

This is our second year staying here for a week long family vacation. It is a clean and well maintained campground. The back-in RV sites are not exceptional (some are narrower than others and they would be better if regraded with some fresh gravel for the RV to sit on) but they are fine considering the other benefits of staying at this campground (close to beach access, water park, town amenities, etc.). There are plenty of kids activities and the pier is also fun for the kids. The pool needs an overhaul but it was clean.

The park staff were very helpful and everything was clean. The setting is too suburban for me and the RV spots are quite busy. If you want to stay here, book a tent site back by the marsh where it would feel like camping. There will be no hook ups and it will be far from the bathroom but your view will be much more pleasant and much less busy.

Nice campground but be prepared for lots of kids - we are two adults and a dog. Also, they rent golf carts so constant cart traffic up and down roads. Think young teens joy riding all night with music playing. Quiets right down at 11 pm though. Expensive and sites are smallish - we had the most expensive type of site with a concrete pad and nice composite furniture - but neighboring site is right on top of you. Great location by Assateague Seashore and stores/restaurants close by. Staff is nice and friendly.

Verizon and AT&T cellular was awesome, worked all day on VPN with an IP phone. Campground wifi would not load the Tv. At 34 ft we are hanging out each end of the site, we have a concrete pad site. The width of the sites are way too small as well. I will come back but try the extra long sites. Scenery is beautiful and watched a NASA launch, you can bike from he here into the park. Kayak launch was nice.
