RV Tips for Saving Money on Fuel Tip 1: Slow down and maintain a steady pace In regards to how your driving style affects your fuel consumption, the following actions can burn fuel quicker: Driving fast Accelerating often Braking often Learning to drive an RV means adapting to a new driving style. Slowing down your pace and utilizing cruise control is not only safe driving, but it cuts down on fuel usage.

Maintaining properly inflated tires not only fits in the realm of safety RV tips, as this practice can reduce wear and tear on the wheels. It also helps in saving money on fuel.

Tip 3: Download apps like GasBuddy and sign up for loyalty programs Apps like GasBuddy are free to download and help you find the cheapest fuel along your route.

The other side, though, is your genius invention – you can make your own Twister game by painting colorful circles. Make it as big as you like to accommodate as many kids as necessary. Have a grown-up drink while the kids are Twisting. A Tisket, A Tasket – Use a paper napkin to play this game. Just like Drop-the-Handkerchief, but sung to the tune and lyrics of Ella Fitzgerald’s jazz hit. Let’s Clean Up Game – Uh-Oh! Here come Yogi and Boo Boo to steal the leftovers!

Contact Us #### After Dark Halloween Camping Games for Your Little Monsters After Dark Halloween Camping Games Can't get enough of Halloween? Neither can we! At Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, we celebrate the holiday throughout October with our Halloween Spooktacular Weekends! After fun-filled, action-packed days of arts and crafts, pumpkin carvings, trick or treating, and contests, celebrate even more with the kiddos when the sun goes down with these after dark Halloween camping games. They're a great way to wrap up an adventurous day and safe to play in the dark at your campsite or cabin. Try These After Dark Halloween Camping Games with the Kiddos Flashlight Limbo Let the kids limber up at the end of the day with Flashlight Limbo! Best played with five or more, this game requires two flashlights and either a dark cabin room or clear space on your campsite. To set up the game, two people stand about four or five feet away from each other with flashlights on. The flashlights should be even with each other, making a straight line. Players walk under the beam beginning at about shoulder height. If the light touches any player as they go under, they are out. Then, the beam is lowered just like regular limbo until only one person is left in the game. Glow In The Dark Charades Prepare ahead of time for this game by collecting an assortment of glow-in-the-dark accessories, including glowing batons, neon headbands, glow sticks, glow bracelets, glow necklaces, and more. Activate each before throwing them into a large box for the kiddos to rummage through. Participants take turns reaching into the box and using these accessories to act out an activity such as juggling or bowling. The others try to guess what activity is being performed. Touch and Tell If You Dare At least one game has to be in total darkness. You are playing after dark Halloween camping games, of course. Make everyday items into gruesome body parts with this game that incorporates the senses of touch and curiosity...and, for some, courage! Preparation for this questionable 'body parts' game includes gathering various items like grapes, cold spaghetti, almond slices, carrot sticks, tortillas, water, and a wet sponge. Place each in separate bowls. These items will represent a different body part: grapes work for eyes, cold spaghetti for guts, almonds can be fingernails, carrot sticks can be fingers, tortillas can be skin, water can be blood, and a wet sponge can be brains, etc. Either in your pitch-black cabin room or sitting around the picnic table in total darkness, pass each bowl around to participants to guess what "body part" they are feeling. (Suggestion: If it's not dark enough, consider using blindfolds.) For a scarier, creepy-crawly experience, make up a story to go along with the items! Halloween Happens Only Once A Year... But at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, we've extended it to five weekends. So get your fill of Spooktacular Halloween celebrations and after dark Halloween camping games when you stay with us this October! Don't Miss Out on the Spooktacular Surprises!

What’s at the Swimming Pool?  Water, of course.  Lots of it.  What could be better than easing into the shallow end and bouncing along on your tip-toes ‘til it’s almost – but not quite – too deep?  Crystal clear sparkling water.  Just right for those hot summer days. You know, Yogi only wears a hat and a necktie, but people need flip-flops, sunscreen, towels, and a swimsuit!  Don’t forget ‘em. Dig holes and build sandcastles at the Sandy Beach – just like the seashore without the big waves. Bears love to fish too. The Sandy Beach on Lake Pelahatchie is where Yogi goes to catch fish when he isn’t stealing pic-a-nic baskets.  You can catch fish just like the bears. Cast your line from one of our five fishing docks. Glide across the lake in a kayak or a canoe. Bring your own boat or rent one of our John boats and angle for bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish and brown trout for your dinner. So what are you going to serve your water-babies for supper?  Fresh-caught fish and a watermelon, of course! Book your summer RV camping trip at Jellystone Pelahatchie/Yogi On The Lake right away.

That way I could visit you anytime, instead of when Mom and Dad feel like it. ~ Sincerely yours, Curious Dear Curious - Cindy Bear, BooBoo and I all live in Jellystone Park Pelahatchie/Yogi on the Lake so we can visit with all the campers. If we lived in your park, we could only visit you and your friends. This way, we can have fun with all the kids, including you.

I hope you like jelly beans because I like jelly beans. ~ Love, Candy Dear Candy - I LOVE jelly beans. I love the colors, I love the flavors, and my favorite jelly bean holiday weekend is coming up...The Easter Eggstravaganza Weekend. This April 2 - 4 all of us bears will offer an egg hunt, Easter egg decorating, and Spring crafts galore. I might even dress up like the Easter Bunny, but I'll have to ask Cindy Bear what she thinks about that! Tell Mom and Dad to reserve their stay for the Eggstravaganza weekend real soon, 'cause we fill up fast. Dear Yogi Bear How do you feel about jelly? My favorite flavor is grape. How about you? ~ Luv ya, Gilbert Dear Gilbert - Bears love anything sweet and jelly is my favorite food! I love all the flavors, but grape is my special favorite too. I just love it when people make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and pack pic-a-nic baskets full of them. BooBoo and I like to hide behind trees and sneak up on campers to steal their baskets. Ooops! Maybe I shouldn't have told. Next time you and the family are having a picnic beside the lake, better eat all those dee-lish-us sandwiches real quick before BooBoo and I get them. Hope to see you real soon...and bring jelly! Come for the fishing and picnics, and stay for the fun.

Book Now!   #### Camping 101: How to Start a Campfire Campfires are a beloved part of the camping experience, and at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, we provide designated fire rings at campsites and cabins that are perfect for building them. In this blog post, we'll give you some tips on how to start a campfire in one of these designated areas. Follow these steps, and you'll be roasting marshmallows and enjoying the great outdoors in no time! Step-by-Step Guide on How to Start a Campfire Find the designated fire ring at your campsite or cabin. These are usually made of metal or stone and intended for the safe and controlled burning of campfires. Gather the materials you'll need before continuing the steps on how to start a campfire. You'll need some kind of fuel (such as wood, paper, or kindling) and a way to ignite it (such as matches or a lighter). We've got you covered on firewood! Just stop at the Ranger Stationand gather some bundles. Clear any debris or flammable materials from the area around the fire ring. Build your fire using the "teepee" method. Start by placing a few larger logs in the center of the pit. Then, stack smaller logs or twigs around the larger logs in a teepee shape. Leave some space between the logs to allow for airflow. Add tinder (such as dry leaves, grass, or paper) to the center of the teepee. Light the tinder using matches or a lighter. Be sure to light the tinder from the bottom up, as this will help the fire catch and spread. Once the fire is burning well, you can add more fuel to keep it going. Be sure to use caution when adding fuel, as the fire may flare up unexpectedly. Always Practice Safety & Above All Enjoy Yourselves Now that you know how to start a campfire safely, it's equally important to understand how to put out the fire properly. When you're finished with your campfire, douse it with water and stir the ashes to ensure that all embers are extinguished. We wish you a great time with family and friends around the campfire at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie! Happy camping!   Add a Golf Cart Rental to Your Stay and Gather More Supplies at the Ranger Station Quickly & Easily!

Book Now #### Camping Resolutions for the New Year As we ring in the new year, it is a great time to dream up resolutions of all kinds... including camping ones. Whether you are an experienced camper or just getting started, setting goals for outdoor getaways can help you and the whole family make the most of each trip. Here are some camping resolutions to consider in the new year. Camping Resolutions for the New Year   Camp Every Season of the Year Making camping a year-round activity is a great way to enjoy the change in environment, climate, and wildlife. All it takes is a little planning and preparation to make your camping resolutions come true! If you're ready to try camping in colder weather conditions, you may need some extra gear, such as thicker sleeping bags and warmer clothes. Bring along hot food and drink; remember to think about what other changes might happen when it gets colder outside! Invest In A Bigger Tent Investing in a bigger tent can significantly enhance your camping experience and make it more enjoyable. A larger tent will allow you to stand up to get dressed in the morning. It also offers more space for storing your belongings, so you don't have to worry about not having enough room for all your gear. Additionally, some larger tents come with room dividers, giving everyone more privacy and comfort when it's time to go to bed.   Introduce Camping to Newbies For the New Year, why not resolve to introduce someone to camping? Teaching someone to camp can be a gratifying experience and help you grow as a camper. If you're an experienced camper and have someone in your life new to the camping lifestyle, here are a few tips for getting them started. First, pick a location that isn't too far away from home and has amenities like restrooms and potable water. Next, pack all necessary gear and supplies, such as food, water, and first aid supplies. Finally, go over some basic camping rules with your new camper. Teach them the basics of setting up a campsite, using fire safely, and minimizing their environmental impact.   Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie is Your Headquarters for Camping Adventures No matter your camping resolutions, we can help you accomplish your goals in the new year! Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie is open year round so families can enjoy nature, quality time with loved ones, and comfortable accommodations whenever!

Book Your New Year's Stay Today! #### Camping With Dogs For The First Time? Try These 5 Helpful Tips Camping with Dogs Camping is extra special when Fido gets to come along for the outdoor excitement! At Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, we welcome pets to camp with the family in our RV sites and pet-friendly cabins. Our camp-resort is a playground for pooches to explore through the woods and along the lake. If you and the family are new to camping with dogs, the following tips can help you and your pup get ready for a successful camping getaway together! Tips For Camping With Dogs Tip #1: Visit the vet First things first! Get the vet's OK on Fido's camping trip. Be sure your pup is up to date on all vaccines and medications, like tick and flea preventative meds. These are their first line of defense against diseases. Don't leave empty-handed from the vet. Ask for a copy of the records and keep them on hand whenever you go camping. Tip #2: Brush up on-leash walking skills If your pooch goes on little if any on-leash walks, this is a great time to practice, maybe even enlist the help of a professional dog trainer! Campgrounds and RV resorts require dogs to be on a leash at all times, save in off-leash dog parks. So keeping them safe and calm, walking around the campground or at your cabin or campsite is important. During your practice walks, work on appropriate behavior and following your commands. Opt for a harness and leash for added control. Tip #3: Evaluate social skills It's realistic to assume that other pets will be present if you are camping at a pet-friendly camp-resort. If your dog is not used to being around other dogs or overreacts when they see a fellow canine, some practice improving social skills may be in order. As mentioned with leash walking, consulting a professional trainer is always the ideal way to go. It may be the case that your pup needs a bit more training with specific skills and is not quite ready for the campground experience. Don't rush the process. Tip #4: Pack the essentials and then some It's never a bad idea to overpack for your first-time experience camping with dogs. Among other essentials to pack for your pup, be sure to include: Regular food and water Harness/Leash Waste bags Favorite treats Comfy bedding (bring the crate if they typically sleep in one) Meds/supplements, if applicable Favorite toys Dog tag with your contact number and another with your campsite/cabin number Tip #5: Enjoy Your First Camping Adventure Together! Since this is Fido's first camping trip and your first time camping with dogs, make it a super special one! Take him on long hikes throughout the day, exploring around the grounds. Please don't leave him stuck in the RV or cabin. Bored dogs get rambunctious! Give them an adventure they'll want to return to again and again! Have A Doggone Good Camping Adventure!

What better way to spend some quality time with the family than going camping. Before the mad rush of back to school, work, and other extracurricular activities, be sure to book your stay with us at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie and enjoy some quality time as a family. National Family Fun Month Activities 1. Get everyone involved in the trip planning and preparation. A lot goes into planning and preparing for a family camping trip. Get the kids involved this time around by letting them pack their clothes and figure out what meals and snacks to prepare around the campfire. Talk about the kind of activities and attractions they'll want to enjoy at Jellystone Park™. If you are staying in one of our spacious RV or tent sites, have the kiddos help hook up the RV or set up the tent. Not only is a second pair of hands always helpful, but this is an excellent learning opportunity. 2. Cook camping meals as a family. Nothing beats preparing a camping meal together as a family. And if you forget to bring any ingredients, you can always do some last-minute shopping at our Ranger Station. Divvy up tasks. For instance, have someone cut up fruit or vegetables (with parental supervision for the little ones, of course) and assign another the job of laying out the dinnerware. The best part is sharing a meal that everyone pitched in to help make. 3. Enjoy Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie's many activities and attractions together. There is certainly never a lapse in family fun at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie. Get wet and wild at the Splash Park. Spend a relaxing day fishing. Challenge each other to a game of miniature golf or bounce around from one scheduled park activity to the next. You and your family will not run out of things to do together during your stay. Treasure Family Time at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie We've got you and your family covered for National Family Fun Month with our first-rate amenities and fun-filled attractions and activities.

Book Your Stay   #### Celebrate The Last Days Of Summer Vacation & Hot Dog Season Hot Dog Season Labor Day is inching around the corner. For many families, this means the last days of summer vacation are near. Time to trade in the light, lazy sunny days for back-to-school preparation and busy schedules. But that's not the wurst of it. Labor Day is also the close of Hot Dog Season! According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, "Peak Hot Dog Season" occurs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. During this period, Americans typically consume 7 billion hot dogs, which averages to 818 hot dogs consumed every second! Frankly, hot dogs and camping go hand in hand (just like ketchup and mustard!) So before you and the family hit the road to Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie for your final vacation this summer, be sure to pack plenty of hot dogs and buns. And enjoy this barbeque favorite on the grill or over the campfire and topped with delicious ingredients! Enjoy The Final Days of Hot Dog Season With These Oscar Weiner Tips Tip 1: Be Creative with Your Hot Dog Toppings Ketchup and mustard are certainly a delicious combination on a hot dog, but sometimes it's fun to mix it up with new toppings. Next time at your cabin, RV site, or tent campsite, prepare a selection of toppings the whole family can experiment with on their hotdogs. Some ideas for ingredients and combinations include: Pickled peppers, diced tomatoes, yellow mustard, and chopped onions Sauerkraut and Spicy Brown Mustard Baked Beans and bacon Sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onions Pimento cheese and pickled jalapeños Tip 2: Serve Up Some Yummy Sides with That Dog! While hot dogs alone might satisfy your hunger on any given day, it's unlikely to be sustaining if you are camping at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie. With activities, attractions, and events happening all day long, you and the crew will need a few hearty fill-ups throughout the day to keep up. Some excellent sides to have with your hot dogs could be: Coleslaw Macaroni Salad Potato Salad Pasta Salad Corn on the Cob Beans Chips Tip 3: Substitute the Buns for a Different Texture and Taste Forgot to pack the hot dog buns? You can always stop by the Ranger Station to see if we are in stock or swap the bun for something else like a: Tortilla Taco shell Lettuce Slice of cheese Slice of bread Crescent roll (Pigs in a Blanket, anyone?) Have You Booked your Labor Day Weekend Getaway? Need something to do this Labor Day weekend? We can help! Join Yogi Bear™ and pals September 2nd thru 4th for a party-filled, fun weekend at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie. Activities will include pool parties, bonfires, parades, socials, and much more!

There's something special about the taste of food prepared in the open air, whether it's over a campfire or on a camping stove. And having the right cooking gear is essential for creating delicious meals with your family and friends. So, what are some of the must-have cooking gear for camping? Must-Have Cooking Gear for Camping Camping Stove A camping stove is a portable cooking device that can be fueled by propane or butane. It's perfect for cooking meals quickly and efficiently and is preferable for folks who'd rather forgo cooking over a campfire. Campfire Grill A campfire grill is a cooking grate placed over a campfire. It allows you to cook food directly over an open flame and is perfect for grilling hot dogs, burgers, and other foods. Plus, it gives you that authentic camping feel! Cooler A cooler is an essential item for any camping trip. It will keep your food and drinks cold and fresh and can also be used as a makeshift seat or table. Collapsible Water Container A collapsible water container is a space-saving solution for carrying water while camping. It's lightweight, durable, and can fold up when not in use. Portable Coffee Maker For coffee lovers, a portable, non-electric coffee maker like a percolator or French press is a must-have cooking gear for camping. It allows you to enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the great outdoors without relying on instant coffee. Camping Cookware Set A camping cookware set typically includes pots, pans, and utensils of various sizes. They are designed to be lightweight and durable, making them easy to transport and use while camping. Cast Iron Skillet A cast iron skillet is a versatile piece of cookware used to cook a variety of foods, from pancakes and eggs to burgers and steaks. It's ideal for cooking over a campfire or on a camping stove. Cooking Gear Essentials for Camping Adventures at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie At Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, we know how important it is to have the right cooking gear for camping. After an eventful day of fishing, swimming, boating, sports games, theme events, and more activities, families can retreat to their cabin, RV, or tent site and enjoy cooking outdoors with a fire pit and picnic table. Plus, our camp store sells firewood, snacks, and camping supplies for your convenience. With the right cooking gear, you can enjoy delicious meals with your family and friends while surrounded by the beauty of nature. Pack Your Bags and Your Appetite for Adventure! Book Your Stay Today #### COVID 19 and our 2020 Camping Season Update Thank you for being a valued guest. We continue to monitor recommendations from the CDC and modify procedures and policies as appropriate. **Updated 7/12/2020: Hello all: It is nearly impossible to answer every individual question that was posted on our update. We hope this adds some clarifications that were asked for. Currently, the order is in effect for our county, not the entire state. Our county is one of many being impacted. There were many concerns/questions regarding the masks and the heat, we did some research on the use of masks and the CDC guidance. Please note, there are several reasons the CDC recognizes as reasons masks may not be used. Children under 2 should not wear them, children pre-school age may not be able to wear them correctly or at all times, people with breathing disorders, extreme heat, mental conditions may not be able to wear masks. It also clarifies that when outdoors or if a mask can get wet, if you can maintain social distancing, you may not need to wear a mask, but encourages you to do so when possible. Masks will not be required on the pool decks or in outdoor activities, but are encouraged if you cannot maintain social distancing. Our team members will be wearing masks whenever possible and we will ask that you do as well, however, please note that if someone is not wearing a mask, the reason may be medical/disability-related. Per the recent Executive Order, masks will be required at the park beginning at 8:00 am Monday, July 13. Our cafe and retail locations will be open at a 50% occupancy, while guests and staff are required to wear face masks and maintain social distancing. We have not been able to find any updated information on the pool or splash pad and are reaching out for clarification. At this time, we will have the pool and splash pad open at 50% (250 people) occupancy, requiring face masks on the pool deck unless eating or drinking. Face Masks should not be used in the water. Families are responsible to maintain social distancing from people not in their family and no group can have more than 20 people together. The water features will be open to our camping guests first with day pass occupancy being limited. Please call before coming for a day pass. Our high touch areas and outdoor recreation items (jumping pillow, playground, water wars, etc) will continue to be disinfected per the CDC guidelines. We ask that everyone please follow the guidance provided to us at this time. Activities will continue but may be modified for social distancing. Face masks will be required at any activity. The current order is for one week. THIS NEW ORDER EXPIRES JULY 20 AT 8;00 AM Updated May 28, 2020 What does this mean for you and your reservation? During your stay with us we would ask that you follow the CDC, federal, local and state guidelines during this national state of emergency. You are the primary person responsible for your own preparedness in this time of COVID-19, we cannot guarantee anyone’s safety from any virus or sickness during a visit to our park. This means you accept this risk for yourself and those you are visiting with. If you are sick have medical vulnerabilities or are considered at higher risk, please do not come. The only way to eradicate COVID-19 is by avoiding the chance of infecting others. Come back when you are well! Until further notice, the following changes are in place We are blessed with fresh air and outdoor activities that can be enjoyed in a solitary or nearly solitary manner. Remember, the outdoors is not cancelled. We will have golf carts available for rent. They will be sanitized between each renter.

Comfort Stations: There are multiple comfort stations throughout the park, they may not all be open based on occupancy needs. You will be notified which comfort stations are open for use during your stay. They will be sanitized a minimum of every two hours during operating hours. Touch point areas such soap dispensers, door handles, faucets, toilet paper dispensers, paper towel dispensers and bathroom stall doors will be wiped down and disinfected. After business hours you will be responsible for your own sanitation this means you accept this risk for yourself and those you are visiting with. Ranger Station (Store): Open, with regular hours. We will be selling necessary items at the store including propane, wood, grocery supplies, RV supplies and souvenirs as we always do, however, we are practicing social distancing both inside and outside the store.

Social distancing should be maintained. Pool and Water Zone are open. We are at 50% capacity, however with the normal capacity of our water area, we have not had to turn anyone away. We are not allowing day pass visitors on Saturday to ensure our camping guests have full usage of this amenity. We ask that you do your part and social distance with people that are not in your immediate party. Activity schedules have been adapted to allow for social distancing at all events and are running as normally scheduled. Directives that must be followed: We ask that you are practicing social distancing while you are here, for your safety and the safety of those around you. We are wiping down all touch points throughout the park on a regular basis: the ice machine handles, and front door handles every day and the countertops many times a day. It is still up to you to protect yourself by bringing your own gloves, masks and personal hand sanitizer. We are sorry but we cannot provide you with any of our supplies. We are committed to providing you with a safe, fun camping outing and continuing as many of our planned activities as possible while respecting social distancing guidelines. Stay Safe and Happy Camping!   #### Crack the Camp Code: Unraveling Unique Camping Terms Hey there, happy campers! Today, we're taking you on a linguistic adventure through the unique world of camping terms. Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie offers a cornucopia of camping experiences, from the rustic joy of tent camping and the plush comforts of cabin living to tranquil boating and fishing spots. Now, we challenge you: how many of these unusual camping terms are you familiar with? Unique Camping Terms Tent Camping Terms Guyline: These essential cords keep your tent in place by fastening it to the ground. Flysheet: When the rain pours, this waterproof cover is your tent's best defense. Footprint: This isn't a trace left by a camper's shoe; it's a groundsheet that fits under the floor of your tent for extra protection. RV Camping Terms Boondocking: This is all about camping in your RV without hookups, often in remote locations. Black Water: In the world of RVs, this term refers to the wastewater from your toilets. Remember, always dispose of it responsibly! Dinghy: This isn't a small boat in this context; it's a term used to describe a vehicle towed behind an RV. Fishing Terms Eddy: In the fishing world, this is a circular current of water. Fly Fishing: This angling method uses a lightweight lure, or 'fly', to catch fish. Chumming: This isn't about making friends; it's about dropping bait into the water to attract fish. Boating Terms Abeam: This nautical term refers to the direction perpendicular to the length of the boat. Bilge: This term refers to the lowest part inside the boat where excess water collects. Fender: In boating, a fender isn't part of the boat's body but a cushioning device used to prevent damage to vessels or berths. Hiking Terms Blaze: In hiking, a blaze isn't a fire; it's a mark, often painted or carved on trees, used to guide hikers on the trail. Switchbacks: These are zigzagging trails up a steep incline. Scramble: This isn't about cooking eggs; in hiking, scrambling involves using both hands and feet to climb over rocky terrain. So, Campers, How Did You Do? Each of these camping terms holds a unique story and helps you navigate the exciting world of outdoor adventures. Whether you're spending time in our cozy cabins, venturing out on a boat, casting a line, or taking a leisurely hike around the campground, there's always something new to learn and experience at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie.

Looking Forward to Welcoming Our Winter Campers! Book Your Stay #### Easiest Campfire Card Game No fancy equipment to buy! All you need is a deck of ordinary cards! Simple card games are fun, and Go Fish is so easy even little children can join in and enjoy the game. Go Fish at Jellystone Park Pelahatchie/Yogi on the Lake This one is good for the youngest players. All they need to be able to do is recognize numbers. Five cards are dealt to each player, if three to six players are involved. With only two players, seven cards are dealt to each. All remaining cards are placed face down and smooshed around. This is the Fishing Lake*. Then, choose a player to go first. On each person's turn, ask any player for a specific card. For example: "Mary, please give me all your 9s." You must already hold at least one card of the number you ask for. If the player you ask has any cards of the requested number, she must give all of her cards of that number to you. In the example, Mary would have to give you all of her 9s. If you get one or more cards from the player you ask, you get another turn. It starts again and you may ask any player for any number you already hold, including the same one you just asked for. If the person you ask has no relevant cards, they say, "Go fish." You then draw any card from the Fishing Lake. If you happen to draw a card of the number asked for, show it to the other players and your turn continues. Otherwise, it is the next player's turn. You add the drawn card to your hand. NOTE: The "next player" is the one who said "Go fish.' When you collect a set of four cards of the same number, immediately show the set to the other players and place the four cards face down in front of yourself. That is a "match". Go Fish continues until either someone has no cards left in their hand or the Lake runs out. The winner is the player who then has the most matches (sets of four). For younger children you can deem "matches" a pair of a number (2 cards instead of 4) which allows them to "win" a few extra times and keeps the game moving. *Some folks like to stack the face-down cards in a pile. The Lake is more fun because it’s like the Lake here at Jellystone Park/ Yogi on the Lake. Play Go Fish outdoors on your picnic table or inside your tent, cabin, or RV. Then take the family fishing in Lake Pelahatchie for more fishing fun. Your child can learn a fun card game at Yogi on the Lake/Jellystone Park!

Book Your Stay With Us Today #### Eco-Friendly Camping Tips For Families Eco-Friendly Camping Tips There are many reasons to come to Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, like the exciting activities, amenities, and themed weekends we offer. But most also come to enjoy the camping experience of being in the outdoors and exploring nature. We all must do our part to keep the outdoors as pristine as possible for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come. The following eco-friendly camping tips for families are simple and may even improve your family camping experience. Homemade Snacks Granola bars and prepackaged snacks are an easy grab for a camping trip. However, the plastic used in the packaging can add to landfills and contribute to the growing problem of microplastics. There are tons of recipes for camping energy bars online that you can make at home. A great family camping activity is to make your camping snacks right at your campsite. You can purchase tons of trail mix ingredients and bring them in reusable containers. Everyone in the family can mix and match the ingredients to make their own custom camping trail mix on the go. Making your camping snacks is not only a great eco-friendly camping tip. Homemade snacks are typically healthier and have less sugar than their store-bought counterparts. Reusable Water Bottles On the subject of plastic waste, about 50 billion water bottles get thrown away every year in the United States, and an estimated 70% never get recycled. Though grabbing a case of water is simple. The following eco-friendly water tips make it just as easy to ditch the one-use bottles for reusable ones. Bring reusable BPA-free or metal bottles for your family. Many big box stores have 5-gallon water jug programs that allow you to get a jug and return it to be reused once it's empty. Those bottles are cleaned, sterilized, and refilled by the company. If you don't like the idea of drinking tap water from the RV park, many filter options remove everything from chlorine, lead, fluoride, and even viruses and bacteria. Use Eco-Friendly Camping Hygiene and Body Products Many types of soap, toothpaste, sunscreen, and bug repellent products have chemicals in them that are not biodegradable. Some can even bioaccumulate in lakes and rivers, meaning they don't break down and travel up the food chain. That food chain ends up on our plates in some circumstances. How can you prevent these chemicals from entering the environment and local water table? Toothpaste: There are many brands of biodegradable toothpaste. You can even get toothpaste in the form of easy-to-pack tablets, which eliminate the plastic squeeze tube. Soap: Camping stores sell all kinds of biodegradable camp soap for cleaning everything from dishes to hair and your body. Sunscreen: There are many biodegradable sunscreens available such as Reef Safe. They use safer ingredients for the environment and don't pollute waterways. Bug Repellent: Bug repellents that use Picardian instead of DEET are better for the environment and work just as well as their DEET counterparts. Picardian is also safe to use on fabrics and doesn't leave that greasy feeling on your skin. There are also a whole host of natural and biodegradable bug repellents in the form of sprays, candles, and bracelets. Small Eco-Friendly Camping Efforts Add Up Many may feel that eco-friendly camping is difficult or inconvenient. The truth is that little things like homemade snacks are generally cheaper than buying prepackaged food. Reusable water bottles can be just as convenient as dealing with a case of bottled water. And biodegradable personal care products are super easy to find. The more people who make minor changes in their camping habits, the more those little changes add to a significant investment in future camping generations. Try These Eco-Friendly Camping Tips Today!

Ever since the pandemic, it's safe to say we no longer want to be scooped up in the house when the outdoors remains to be explored. So, we want to answer the main question on your mind right now: where to go camping! If you are in Mississippi, there are no better family campgrounds than Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie. Not only can you camp here – even with your RV – but you are also in for so many themed weekends that you literally will always find something fun going on. What makes Jellystone Park™ the best RV park in Pelahatchie There are just so many things that make Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie the best RV camping site in all of town. But, to paint the picture, here are a few standout reasons you might want to be heading here for the best family getaway soon! Themed Weekends If you've gone camping before, you know the worst thing that can happen sometimes is turning up to your grounds, parking your RV, and then that's it – there’s nothing more to explore. So, when looking for the best RV campsites, it's best to extend your search to see what else you can enjoy there besides, well, camping! At Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, we line up a string of activities each weekend that make your family outing all the more about unwinding. Our themed weekends are seasonal and creative, ranging from Halloween, Mother's Day, and Yogi Bear's Birthday to Christmas Weekend, Foodie Frenzy Weekend, Camps-giving, and so much more. To put it simply, there will be something going down every weekend, so just pick your schedule from this 2025 schedule! Amazing camping grounds and accommodations Of course, the camping grounds should also be stunning. At Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, we offer the best, including; RV sites: All fully hooked to water, electricity, cable, and sewer! You can pick from a different variety of sites here, like the pic-a-nic pines and winter seasonal sites. With these, you get a picnic table and a fire ring. Other options include the off-water patio, waterfront patio, deluxe, premium, and off-lake RV sites. Tent sites: If you're not down for camping outside your parked RV, you can book a tent site. We offer two options, both with electric and water hookups. The premium sites offer more privacy compared to the basic tent sites. Cabins: Family camping is fun, but sometimes, not everyone will be comfortable outside in the RV or tent. That's why you also get the cabin option – these accommodations are far more comfortable with amenities like a kitchen, bathrooms, water, electricity, and more. Fun activities At Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, you can do more than camping. You can have endless fun with your little ones at the multi-level splash pad or the jumping pillow. And when your kids have more energy to spend, they can run around the playground for kiddie fun or even go swimming in the pool. You also get a sandy beach and a recreation center to spend your time in, or you can get some friendly competition going with games such as human foosball, Gaga ball, tennis, or mini golf. When it's time to bond, why not take them fishing by the lake or go gem mining? Don't worry about getting around; you can always rent a golf cart to explore the expansive park!

Contact Us #### Family Glamping with Yogi Bear Yogi Bear is one fancy guy - he even wears a neck tie in the woods! You can be a fancy camper too when you go 'glamping' at Jellystone Park. Um...so what is 'glamping'? A combination of 'glamorous' and 'camping'. Glamping is fancy camping. Here's what you need to know... The Basics Our tent sites are pet-friendly and have 20 amp electric and water nearby. Free WiFi throughout the park means you can binge-watch all your favorites, just like at a fancy hotel. Nice restrooms with hot showers, fire pits, and picnic tables are just what you want and need. The Glamping Part Sleeping The number one thing that separates glamping from tent camping is a nice, comfortable bed. An air mattress, raised or on the ground, is what you want. You don't even have to blow them up. These modern air beds have built-in pumps! No work at all! You'll need sheets to fit your new air mattress, pillows, and thermal blankets too. Tent Décor & Accessories How about a pretty rug and an inflatable couch? A couple of collapsible event chairs will make it easy to socialize. If you want to see what you're doing at night, better invest in a few battery-operated LED hanging tent bulbs. And if you want to feel especially glamorous, a string of tiny, twinkly fairy lights will give your tent an ethereal feel. Eating & Drinking If you plan to cook anything, a set of cooking utensils is handy. But really, and this is an absolute must - get an easily transportable wine cooler and some unbreakable wine glasses. Remember - camping without wine is just sitting in the woods. Wait a minute. You say the kids are too young to drink? Try these fun glamping accessories just for the li'l cubs... T-Rex Dinosaur LED headlamp for kids. They can run around in the dark just like dinosaurs while you're having your wine. RoarBottle - T-Rex water bottle for children. Push his teeth in to hear him roar! Marshmallows - No need for the kids to scrounge up pointy sticks from the ground...just get a set of aluminum marshmallow roasting sticks. Where to find all this stuff? Believe it or not, there are actually companies that will come to your chosen site, provide you with a luxurious tent, and set everything up for you, right down to a mint on your pillowcase. The real fun, though, is planning all this yourself and figuring out how to obtain it all. Here's the fastest way to find all these items...Amazon.com Revel in the glories of nature, with glamping under the tall trees. Enjoy tent camping with Yogi Bear and all the comforts of a five-star hotel. Tent site rates start at just $32 per night! Not sure you want to be all that close to nature? Check out our cabins.

During your next stay with us, add a little flare to your campfire round-up with one of the following games! Fun Campfire Games I Went On A Camping Trip The game starts with the first player relaying the statement, "I went on a camping trip and packed a ___," adding an item they would pack like hiking shoes or a flashlight. The next player in line continues with, "I went on a camping trip and packed a [first player's item] and a ___ [new item]." Each player continues to add to the list, saying the previous items mentioned (in order). Any player who makes a mistake is out of the game until one remains–the winner. 20 Questions In this guessing game, one player thinks of a place, famous person, or thing. Then the other players ask no more than 20 yes or no questions in total to identify it. Would You Rather? Each participant takes turns coming up with two options and asking the other players which they prefer. Some examples include: Would you rather roast a hot dog or a marshmallow? Would you rather camp in an RV or a cabin? Would you rather go for a hike or a swim? Don't Break Character The final mention on the list of campfire games calls for three main parts–a narrator, an actor, and spectators. In Don't Break Character, one person acts out whatever funny or crazy tale is being narrated by a second individual. The actor must not break character during the entire narration or else they lose the game. This means no talking, laughing, or interacting with the audience. Cap Off The Evening With One More Campfire Game Make campfire games part of your family camping tradition when you stay at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie. Before heading off to bed, play a final game around the campfire. Have every member share a thing or two they love about camping.

Whether you're a seasoned camper or a first-timer, these hacks will ensure your camping experience is comfortable, organized, and full of fun. 10 Game-Changing Tent Camping Hacks Hack 1: Use a Ground Cover Under Your Tent Before setting up your tent, lay down a tarp or ground cover. This extra layer can protect your tent from potential damage and keep you dry if it rains. It's a simple step that can significantly enhance your camping comfort. Hack 2: Pack a Multi-Tool A multi-tool is a camper's best friend. This compact device combines several tools in one, including a knife, can opener, screwdriver, and more. It's a handy solution for various camping needs, from preparing food to making minor gear repairs. Hack 3: Use Foam Floor Tiles for Extra Comfort Transform your tent into a cozy haven by laying foam floor tiles on the floor. These lightweight, easy-to-pack tiles provide extra cushioning, making your sleeping space more comfortable and helping everyone get a good night's sleep. Hack 4: Organize with a Hanging Shoe Organizer Keep your tent tidy and your essentials within easy reach with a hanging shoe organizer. Use it to store small items like utensils, flashlights, bug spray, and toiletries. It's a simple way to keep everything organized and easy to find. Hack 5: Make a DIY Lantern - A Tent Camping Hack Light up your tent with this simple tent camping hack. Just strap a headlamp to a gallon jug of water, with the light shining into the jug. The light will diffuse through the water, creating a soft, ambient light that's perfect for evenings in the tent. Hack 6: Bring a Shower Caddy A portable shower caddy is a great way to keep all your toiletries organized and easy to transport, especially when using shared campground bathrooms. Look for a caddy with multiple compartments and a handle for easy carrying. Hack 7: Pack Microfiber Towels Microfiber towels are a camper's best friend. They're lightweight, super absorbent, and quick-drying, making them perfect for everything from drying off after a swim to cleaning up spills. Hack 8: Use a Mesh Laundry Bag for Dirty Clothes Keep your dirty clothes separate from your clean ones with a mesh laundry bag. It's lightweight, breathable, and easy to carry to the park's laundry facilities when it's time to wash your clothes. Hack 9: Bring a Portable Fan Even with the natural breeze, tents can sometimes get a bit stuffy, especially during the warmer months. A portable fan can help circulate air inside the tent, keeping it cool and comfortable. Plus, with the 20-amp power hookups at the tent sites, you'll have no problem keeping it running. Hack 10: Use a Rug at the Tent Entrance Place a small rug at the entrance of your tent to help keep the interior clean.

Encourage your kids to get creative and arrange the materials in unique ways. Bird Feeders Bird-watching is a great way to engage with nature.

This craft is not only fun but also helps to support local wildlife. Nature Prints Nature prints involve painting natural objects like leaves, flowers, and bark and pressing them onto paper to fashion a unique impression. Talk to your kids about the different shapes and patterns found in nature. Twig Picture Frames Collect twigs to construct a picture frame. Glue the twigs onto a piece of cardboard in a square or rectangular shape, leaving a space in the middle for a photo or artwork. This craft is a great way to teach kids about the different types of trees found in nature. Seed Bombs Build seed bombs using clay, soil, and wildflower seeds.

What you need is something different, fun and active with great winter camping in Pelahatchie. Enjoy these three great activities, with enough action to keep you warm to your fingertips: 1. GA GA Ball Pit Think dodge ball inside a pit, with one small twist...you cannot use your hands! If you're a kick-ball veteran or a soccer player this will appeal to you, but it's great fun all around regardless of one's kicking skills. If you’re new to GA GA Dodge Ball, here’s the short version - it’s played inside a four-foot deep octagonal pit, where you do your best to avoid getting struck by a kicked ball. It’s played inside a 15-foot by 15-foot area. In other words, regardless of the temperature you’re guaranteed to have a great time while keeping warm! 2. Human Foosball Have you ever played regular foosball? Who hasn’t! With Human Foosball, the field is about 32 feet long by 16 feet wide, with rods stretching across the field. Players hold on to the rods in set positions. The number of players varies, but it closely follows the traditional setup. For a fun game you’ll probably want at least 10 people. This game is a great way for large families, youth groups, birthday parties, and so on to bond. The more, the merrier! 3. Jumping Pillow Whether you’re age 3 or 63, our inflatable jumping pillow is the best, year-round, family fun. Our jumping pillow is a huge, 30’ by 60’, air-filled pillow, which is permanently installed in the ground. It can hold many jumpers at once, which makes it fun and interactive. It’s kept inflated by a quiet motor and fan. You’ll enjoy bouncing away the winter doldrums, each and every day while you play! Two more great winter camping activities in Pelahatchie Even though our RV resort is a great fun-filled family destination, not all park visitors have kids in tow. If you're looking for a competitive game of tennis or a more leisurely activity like mini-golf, you're in luck! Our brand-new putt-putt (16-holes) and two tennis courts are just what you need!

For an absolutely spellbinding family camping experience, we want to help by offering some easy and practical Halloween safety tips for all trick-or-treaters, young and young-at-heart. Halloween Saftey Tips For a Hex-tra Special Camping Trip Tip #1: When trick-or-treating around the campground, carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear bright colors for greater visibility. Tip #2: Speaking of glow sticks and Halloween safety tips, throw one or two glow rods into your pumpkin to light up your scary jack-o-lantern instead of using candles. Tip #3: Be sure to pack your costumes for our Spooktacular Weekends and join our costume contests for cool prizes. When selecting an outfit, make sure it is the right size to prevent tripping, entanglement, or contact with flames from a campfire. Avoid attire like oversized shoes, high heels, and long dresses and capes. Tip #4: Consider face paint and decorative hats as safer alternatives to masks. A mask can limit a child's vision, making it hard to see what's around. Tip #5: Accompany your little ghouls and goblins for campground activities like pumpkin carving, arts and crafts, and trick-or-treating! Join All the Halloween Spooktacular Weekend Activities Costumes and pumpkins and candy, oh my!

It's these magical experiences and invaluable life lessons that stay with them, helping shape their character, love for the great outdoors, and appreciation for quality time. Important Life Lessons Kids Learn From Camping Lesson # 1: You're Capable of More Than You Think Camping offers a whole host of new and exciting activities children don't often get to experience. From learning how to set up a tent to practicing campfire safety and joining in on new games to making new friends, kids can learn so much about what they are capable of, gaining more confidence in their abilities and unlocking their full potential. Lesson # 2: Sometimes, the Simplest Things in Life are What We Really Need Without the constant need for technology, camping highlights the simple, enjoyable things in life like roasting marshmallows around a campfire, going on nature walks, casting a line into a lake, or searching for constellations late at night. It's these and other activities that help kids unplug and connect with others. Lesson # 3: Cooperation and Patience Pay Off In a society that's all about convenience and instant gratification, almost every part of camping takes a bit of patience and oftentimes teamwork. Activities like building a campfire, setting up a campsite, taking turns participating in an event, and preparing meals require time and effort. Planning and working together make a big difference. Lesson # 4: There's Much to Appreciate in Nature Camping opens up a whole new world of adventures outdoors, away from the glowy screens and game consoles. Being outdoors awakens the senses with beautiful sights, soothing sounds, and invigorating fresh air and benefits kids physically and mentally. The Ultimate Lesson From Family Camping Out of the listed life lessons, the most important thing kids can learn from camping is that camping with the family offers some of the best bonding times. Instead of being wrapped up in hectic schedules, families can slow down and enjoy each other's company working, learning, playing, and laughing together! Whether you "rough it" in a campsite or upgrade to a cozy cabin, Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie offers a combination of traditional and novel camping amenities and activities for every member of the family to enjoy.

However, if you spend a little time there you'll realize Pelahatchie is far from forgotten. There may not be big new buildings, but inside this gem town you'll find some of the friendliest people, a great hamburger at K's, a Dollar General, Fairway Grocery Store, and certainly not least- Jellystone Park's Yogi On The Lake." Thanks, Hollie! And thanks to you, Dear Camper, for being a friend. Come see your friends Yogi Bear™, Cindy Bear™, and their pal Boo Boo™. Reserve your stay at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie / Yogi on the Lake and have a 'Bear-y' good Time. Book Now!   #### Kid Stuff and Cute 'n' Cuddly Crooks at Yogi on the Lake Parents strongly cautioned! Yogi Bear and his li'l accomplice Boo Boo are stocking up on cookies and sandwiches left and right by stealing your kids' pic-a-nic baskets. Why, just a couple of weeks ago, Yogi Bear ADMITTED to the 'crimes' and owned up to his love of grape jelly. Now that it's Spring and little green leaves are busting out on all the trees, there are plenty more places for the bears to hide. Beware! Mini-Golf Greens Why are Mini-Golf greens the same color as Yogi Bear's Necktie? 'Cause they're green like grass, that's why. In fact, on a grown-up golf course, the greens really ARE grass. So practice your putting right here on our Mini-Golf course, L'il Cubs, and one day you may be famous professional golfers. Jumping Pillow Is any kid anywhere allowed to jump on the bed? Heck no! That's why the Jumping Pillow is so popular. It's strong enough to support you too, Mom and Dad. Go ahead...try it out! Brandy C says on Facebook, "Perfect family atmosphere with a myriad of activities. The children loved the pool/swim area and the jump pad." The Playground Climb! Slide! Run around! Check out the video of the kids playing Mini-Golf, running to jump on the Pillow, fishing on the lake, and cavorting on the slides and Splash Pad. So much for kids to do every day of the week. In fact, Rhonda D says, "This is a great place to take the grandkids. Very convenient and lots of activities. Great staff! Had a wonderful weekend!"

Here’s good news for the kiddos - the Jolly Old Elf CAN get in (after they are asleep, of course) because you, Mom and Dad, are going to leave him a key. That’s right. Just rummage around in the junk drawer until you find an old key that doesn’t open anything - certainly NOT the RV - and explain to the little ones that it’s a magic key and it came with the rig especially for this occasion. And then, on Christmas Eve, show them how you are leaving the special magic key in a special place that only Santa knows about. Once they are asleep, you can decorate the RV, wrap the gifts, and break out the eggnog. A Gift for the Grown-Ups Save a buck for more holiday shopping with our Free Golf Cart offer!

Sunscreen - You've heard it time and time again to make sure you put on sunscreen to protect your skin from burning. This a must even if it's not going to be super sunny or hot when you go, the sun's rays are still strong. Comfortable shoes or sandals - There's pavement and sidewalks, and areas near all the facilities so are sure you're wearing some safe rubber shoes in case these areas are hot. Hat or head covering - You should make sure your head is covered with a sun visor, floppy hat, or baseball cap to keep the sun at bay. Sunglasses - Sunglasses can keep eyes from burning especially if you're walking around the resort, reading, or simply sitting in the sun. You'll want to protect your eyes. Swim goggles too can keep eyes safe in the water. Towels - To dry off, as well as a set of dry clothes for the ride back home, to your RV or Cabin, or wherever you're headed. Also, a bag to put the wet clothing. Snacks, reading materials for adults, headphones, and chargers for phones in case yours goes dead.

If you are spending the holidays at Jellystone Pelahatchie/Yogi on the Lake, you know the NEW three Rs are Reading for Recreation in the RV. Give the Gifts That Will Enrich Their Lives - Books Because much of our southeastern Holiday cuisine is derived from Native American foods like turkey, corn, and sweet potatoes, your young reader might enjoy a book about the lives of the original inhabitants of Mississippi - the Choctaw people. And since Yogi Bear likes to read too, he encourages your little readers to try these Bear books... Image by: amazon.com Crossing Bok Chitto: A Choctaw Tale of Friendship & Freedom There is a river called Bok Chitto that cuts through Mississippi. In the days before the War Between the States, in the days before the Trail of Tears, Bok Chitto was a boundary. On one side of the river lived the Choctaws. On the other side lived the plantation owners and their slaves. If a slave escaped and made his way across Bok Chitto, the slave was free. Thus begins Crossing Bok Chitto, told by award-winning Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle. Martha Tom, a young Choctaw girl, knows better than to cross Bok Chitto, but one day--in search of blackberries--she disobeys her mother and finds herself on the other side. A tall slave discovers Martha Tom. A friendship begins between Martha Tom and the slave's family, most particularly his young son, Little Mo. Soon afterwards, Little Mo's mother finds out that she is going to be sold. The situation seems hopeless, except that Martha Tom teaches Little Mo's family how to walk on water to their freedom. Bear Stays Up for Christmas Celebrate the holidays with Bear and his friends in this sweet picture book from bestselling author Karma Wilson. Bear's friends are determined to keep Bear awake for Christmas! So they wake Bear up and have him help them find a Christmas tree, bake cakes, hang up stockings, and sing Christmas songs. Bear stays up-by discovering that giving is one of the best Christmas presents of all! Fraser Bear, a cub's life Maggie DeVries and Renne Benoit tell the interconnected story of bears and salmon on the west coast of Canada. The creators follow the life of Fraser, the bear, as he grows from a baby cub to a bear living life on his own. This story's lifelike illustrations make it appropriate for young preschoolers, but the depth of information is interesting for older children and adults as well. Find all of these books, and many more, on Amazon. Guess what else is on Amazon... The Yogi Bear Show! Everybody's favorite cartoon show aired from 1961 - 1988. You can watch the entire series in your RV - we have great WiFi. For more last-minute gift ideas, visit the Award-Winning Ranger Station Camp Store for chocolate, camping supplies and Yogi Bear T-Shirts and plush toys.

And two, Peak Season at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie is underway. So you and the family can enjoy all the amenities, activities, and events the park has to offer, including the swimming pool, Splash Pad, Theme Weekends, and so much more! Are you ready for a whole new season of camping with Yogi Bear™ and friends? Have you adequately prepared your RV for another fun adventure? If not, here are some tried and true RV spring cleaning tips to get your rig all set for the fun! Try These RV Spring Cleaning Tips Tip #1: Especially if your RV has been sitting dormant for the winter, follow the necessary steps to de-winterize and sanitize your water system. Tip #2: Clean your RV's exterior. Start from the roof and work your way down to avoid redoing any sections. While washing the roof and sides, take note of any leaks or damages and repair as needed. Tip #3: Besides taking care of exterior fixes, follow through with routine maintenance, including checking out your tires. Tip #4: A deep clean of the rig's interior is also a part of RV spring cleaning. This includes thoroughly disinfecting surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom, vacuuming and mopping the floor, and dusting. Wash curtains, wipe down blinds, and put fresh sheets on your bed. Tip #5: Along with deep cleaning comes decluttering. Unload items that have no use and simply hog space. List any gear or supplies you need for the upcoming camping season and stock up. Whether your RV was in storage all winter long or used regularly, either way, it's a good idea to get your rig in tip-top shape with RV spring cleaning and ready for brand new camping adventures! Of course, you don't have to have an RV to stay at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie.

From water activities to refreshing, sweet treats at the Cartoon Cafe, there are countless amenities and activities to stay cool your entire stay! But what about ways to keep cool in your RV or tent? At Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, all RV sites and tent sites come complete with electric service to run your air conditioner or fans throughout the day. But for efficient cooling, consider adding a tip or two from the following lists: How To Keep Cool In Your RV 1. Park under shade While this may sound like an easy fix, sometimes finding a shady spot is impossible. But if you can get away with partial shade, situate your RV so the refrigerator vents and the A/C unit are covered. Also, try to park your RV so the largest windows receive the least sunlight. 2. Use reflectix One of the most often utilized (and relatively affordable) methods to keep cool in your RV includes the use of Reflectix. Reflectix is a double-sided reflective film with air bubbles in the middle. It reflects heat and works as an insulator to keep cool air inside and heat outside. You can find rolls of Reflectix in big-box hardware stores. Cut to fit windows, skylights, and even the inside of cabinets, whatever is facing the sun. 3. Cook outside Another easy (and fun) way to keep heat out of your RV is to cook outside. Plan a few meals to grill outside or cook over the campfire. 4. Close your windows in the morning Keep cool morning air inside as long as possible by leaving windows and vents closed and minimizing the number of times you open and close the RV door. Ideas To Keep Cool In Your Tent 1. Take your tent down during the day Heat builds up inside your tent throughout a warm, sunny day. As tedious as it may sound, breaking down your tent each day and setting it back up before the sunsets will keep your tent cool, especially if it's stored in a cool, shaded area during the day. Some campers have even kept their folded tent on ice! 2. Open all vents doors, and remove the rain flaps Allow air to circulate inside your tent. If your tent has mesh to protect you from bugs, even better. You can leave your doors and vents open as long as rain isn't forecasted. 3. Opt for a fan Use a camping fan with an extension cord, or for primitive campsites, use a battery-operated fan. Fans that can hang from the ceiling or clip to tent walls are super convenient, along with oscillating fans. (Note: Whether you camp in a standard premium tent site at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, you'll have access to a 20-amp electric hookup.) 4. Sleep on top of your sleeping bag Pack sheets for everyone in the family, just in case it gets uncomfortably warm at night. Instead of crawling into your sleeping bag, sleep on it and cover up with a sheet. There are many ways you and the family can keep cool in your RV or tent when you camp with us at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie! By minimizing sun and heat exposure, you can significantly increase the comfort level inside. Relax and Chill This Summer Camping Season!

Book Now!   #### The Bear Facts of Basic Camping Etiquette Camping Etiquette Escaping from the daily grind on a camping trip to see your pals at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie is a great way to disconnect, unwind, and spend time with the family. Other folks camping nearby feel the same way and are looking forward to their getaway as well. To ensure that your camping neighbors enjoy their next vacation to Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie just as much as you and the family, Yogi Bear™ wants to make sure all campers are familiar with basic camping etiquette. Basic Camping Etiquette Be Mindful of Other Occupied Campsites A campsite is like your home away from home. Other campers feel the same way and consider it intrusive when people cut through. While it may save time to walk through another’s campsite to get to the pool or bathrooms, be polite and simply walk around. If you are camping with your kids, make sure they follow this simple rule as well. Pass along proper camping etiquette to the next generation. Take Care of Your Furry Family Members Camping is even better when you bring along Fido, and Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie is pet-friendly! We require that all pets be on a leash at all times, except when using our Canine Corral fenced-in dog park. And, of course, clean up after them. It's never fun to step into a pile of doggie doo. Practice Campfire Safety Quite possibly, the most important of the camping etiquette rules is this one. To ensure the safety of your family and other campers, don't leave your fire unattended, and be sure your fire is completely out and not smoldering. For your convenience, we sell firewood at our Ranger Station! Note: We do not allow outside firewood due to harmful forest pests such as emerald ash borer, thousand cankers disease, giant African land snail, and sirex woodwasp that occur in many nearby states. Bringing potentially infested firewood into Mississippi threatens the health of Mississippi's trees. Keep Your Campsite Tidy While a clean campsite looks aesthetically pleasing, the tidiness serves a greater purpose. Rodents, birds, and bigger critters are just waiting for the opportunity to rummage through your site, especially if food and trash are plainly sitting outside. Therefore, properly dispose of any trash and lock away food to prevent bigger messes and uninvited critters. Also, when you are packing up, check for trash, including any that was thrown in the fire ring. Observe Quiet Hours Campgrounds typically set their Quiet Hours after 10:00pm and before 7:00am or 8:00am. Our Quiet Hours are 10:30pm - 8:00am daily. And while this period doesn't mean campers must be in their tent, RV, or cabin sound asleep, it does mean that some are and deserve that time to rest up for another day of adventure! Folks still enjoying the night sky and visiting with friends and family can continue to relax around their campfire but should avoid loud conversations and music. Slow Down You're on vacation, remember. When driving through our camp-resort, keep the speed no more than 9½ mph. The campground is full of children having fun, and those children are not always paying attention to their surroundings. Drive slowly and be aware that kids or dogs can appear out of nowhere. Be A Good Neighbor Ultimately, having proper camping etiquette simply means being a good neighbor. Following posted rules combined with mindfulness is the best way to demonstrate proper campground etiquette.

April 15th through 17th, we will be having our Easter Eggstravaganza Weekend, including an egg hunt, egg decorating, and Easter crafts galore! The following pancake ideas will add a little Easter flare to your pancake camping breakfast. Note: To save on prep, mix your dry pancake ingredients before your camping trip, or use pancake mix. Peep Pancakes Nothing says Easter like marshmallow Peeps. You can add their marshmallow flavor to your camping breakfast pancakes by simply tearing up different colors of Peeps and adding the pieces to the pancake batter. Alternatively, if you are using frozen or premade pancakes, top them with a little whipped cream, Easter sprinkles, and a Peep on top. Pancakes and Easter Eggs Pancakes and eggs are a staple camping breakfast combination. So why not serve up some colorful Easter eggs for Easter to go along with your morning flapjacks? Ingredients: 1 - 2 hard-boiled eggs per family member (Hard boil the eggs right before your camping trip.) Food coloring 1 tsp vinegar for each color 1 cup or mug per color Water Salt and Pepper Directions: Remove the shells from the hard-boiled eggs. Fill cups/mugs 2/3 of the way with cold water. Add 3 drops of food coloring and 1 tsp vinegar to each mug/cup. Drop the peeled eggs in the food coloring mixture and allow them to sit until the desired color is reached. Remove from dye and drain on a paper towel. Cut in half, add salt and pepper to taste, and serve next to your Peep pancakes. Fruity Pebble Easter Pancakes Fruity Pebbles breakfast cereal happens to have a lot of Easter colors, and adding them to your pancake batter gives them an extra Easter spin and an awesome flavor the kids will love. Simply make your favorite basic pancake batter. Have the kiddos crush about 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles in a zip lock back and add the crushed cereal to the batter. Cook the pancakes like normal and top with additional Fruity Pebbles and syrup if desired and enjoy.

Book Your Spring Family Getaway Today! Book Now #### Unique Campfire Meals: Dinner In A Pumpkin In the spirit of the season, try something new around the campfire the next time you vacation (or extend your stay through the winter) with us at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie. Dinner in a Pumpkin is a warm, hearty meal that brings out the delicious flavors of fall! While there are different ingredients one could throw into a pumpkin to make a mouth-watering masterpiece, we think our recipe is one you must try! This particular meal involves a creamy soup with garlic, cheese, and bread cooked in a pumpkin with hot coals. You will need to start your campfire about an hour before cooking the pumpkin since the directions require partially covering the soup-filled fruit with hot coals instead of over a blazing fire. Delicious Dinner In A Pumpkin Recipe Ingredients ● (1) 3 lb pumpkin ● Salt and pepper ● 2 ¾ cups seasoned croutons ● ½ cup shredded smoked cheddar ● ½ cup shredded smoked Gouda ● 2-4 garlic cloves (to taste) ● 4 slices cooked, chopped bacon ● 1/4 cup chives ● 1 tbsp minced thyme ● 1/3 cup heavy cream ● Pinch of nutmeg   Directions 1. Just like you would a jack-o-lantern, cut the top off your 3-pound pumpkin and completely clean out the inside–seeds and strings. Then, season the inside with salt and pepper. (This is a fun step to get the kids involved. Don't let the seeds go to waste. Wash, dry, season, and roast them separately.)   2. Toss the bread, cheese, garlic, bacon, and herbs in a bowl. Then pack the mixture into the pumpkin.   3. Next, stir the cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour it into the pumpkin. You don't want the ingredients drowning in the cream, just nicely moistened.   4. Replace the pumpkin top. Before placing your dinner in a pumpkin in the fire pit with hot coals, double-wrap the pumpkin securely in aluminum foil. Bury the foil-wrapped pumpkin about ⅔ of the way in a mound of coals. Only ⅓ of your pumpkin should appear in the firepit. Bake the pumpkin for at least 1 hour until the pumpkin is soft.   5. Scoop out the filling and portions of cooked pumpkin to serve.   (Properly dispose of the foil and leftovers when completely cooled.)   Running Low on Firewood? Stop by our camp store for another bundle or two so you can continue enjoying the warmth of your campfire while you savor the sweet, smooth flavors of your dinner in a pumpkin! There are so many fun and tasty meals to create over your campsite or cabin campfire and mounds of memories to add to them!   Get Your Fill of Hearty Campfire Meals & Quality Time With the Family This Fall! Book Your November Stay Today!   #### What To Bring For Your Very First RV Trip Welcome to Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie, also known as Yogi on the Lake! You've found one of the best summer destinations in Mississippi, and Yogi Bear™ and Boo Boo™ can't wait to meet you and your kids! Neither can we! Set beside a lake and having a swimming pool and a splash park to boot, our family-friendly resort park is the perfect way to cool off under the Mississippi summer sun. Following are tips for first-time RVers but remember that if you don't have an RV or they're just not for you, we have cabins and tent sites, too! A Record-Breaking Summer! Industry analysts are predicting that Summer 2021 will be the second-biggest year ever for new RVers. There are several reasons: People are really excited to get back out and enjoy the outdoors. The resurging economy means families have more money to spend. RVs offer the benefits of camping without the hassles. Travel by RV enables flexibility and spontaneity. If the weather is bad in Location X, you can just gas up and head to Location Y! Looking to extend your escape from the everyday? You've already got a mobile motel! RVs offer families privacy and choices that motels and lodges don't. Packing for Your First RV Trip If you're a veteran RVer, you've already got your routine down, but for first timers who've just purchased an RV or will be renting one, we'd like to share some tips about what and what not to pack that will enhance your enjoyment while on vacation. The key is to pack what you need but not overpack. For your kitchen needs, the following are important if you're cooking your own meals: Cooking and eating utensils Pots and pans, potholders Stackable plates and bowls Measuring cups and spoons, knives, cutting board Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and food-storage containers Dish soap, sponges, scrubbers, paper towels and napkins Trash bags Some people like stocking up on food beforehand, but if you have the option to shop at your destination, that can save space in the RV. Then there are your bed and bath needs: Sheets, blankets, and pillows Towels and washcloths Tissues, laundry detergent Bag and flip flops for shower houses Toiletries (Don't forget toothpaste and toilet paper*!) *Toilet paper that's safe for RV sewer systems is available at RV, Camping, Marine, many big box stores and online. The other general packing category concerns your camping and RV needs: Flashlights, headlamps, lanterns, spare batteries Refillable water bottles Sunscreen and bug repellant Camp chairs Entertainment: books, cards, board games, tablets, etc. Gear for activities you’ll be doing (fishing, hiking, swimming, etc.) It's easy to overpack when it comes to clothing. You'll probably be doing laundry for any stay longer than a weekend, so you don't need a change of clothing for every day you'll be gone. Plan around the expected weather and laundry runs so that you'll always have a clean change of clothes but won't be overstuffing storage. Finally, there are things you shouldn't bring in order to save space and weight: Heavy tools (just pack what you might need for minor maintenance and repairs) Large kitchen appliances Bulk food (if you’re doing your own meals, plan them out instead) Firewood. Bringing wood from your own woodpile is convenient, but to combat the spread of invasive species, more and more campgrounds are allowing only firewood from the local area. With all the above information, you should be set to go, and as you spend more time RVing, you'll fine-tune things to your particular needs and preferences. If you have any questions, though, don't hesitate to ask! Check out our array of RV Sites and book your Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie summer getaway today!   #### Where Do Fish Go in Winter? When people want to escape the cold of winter weather, they load the family into the RV and head for someplace warmer, like Jellystone Park Pelahatchie. Our fish like to be comfy too, but they live in a lake...so where can they go? Fish Are Hibernating Although it doesn’t usually get cold enough for our lake to ice over, it COULD. And when that happens - or even when it occasionally gets darn cold - the warm water at the surface of the lake gets pushed down, down, down by the layer of ice or extra-cold water on top. The fish gather in groups near the warmer muddy bottom of the lake. Like many people, fish tend to be less active in the cold. As cold-blooded creatures, their metabolism dips when temperatures take a dive. In this resting state, fishes' hearts slow down, their needs for food and oxygen decrease, and they move about very little. That’s why the fish aren’t biting as much in winter. Now you know! Yogi Bear is Up & At ‘Em The fish are hibernating, but Yogi Bear isn’t. He’s wide awake and prowling around. You might encounter Yogi Bear when you’re playing... Mini-golf Basketball Tennis GaGa Ball Horse shoes Yogi Bear might even try to steal your pic-a-nic basket while you’re at the Ranger Station, hiking under the trees, or doing the laundry! So watch out. He’s smarter than the av-er-age bear! Does Your Li’l Cub Have a Birthday in January? Yogi Bear and Jellystone Park Pelahatchie make birthday parties extra special with Pizza! Pirates! Plush Toys! and much more. Ask us about the Cindy Bear Princess Package and the Boo Boo Budget Package too. Plenty of Fun at Jellystone Park Pelahatchie Whether the Fish are Biting or Not!

The process is easy, the rig will be immaculately clean, and the rental agent will tell you there are three types of RVs to choose from... Class A Motorhomes are the biggest ones available. Probably not the best for your first RV experience unless you are used to driving a tour bus or a tractor-trailer. Class B Motorhomes are camper vans. This means the bathroom and walking space is extremely tight. Your shower and toilet will be in the same space and the max sleeping capacity is typically two people. Class C Motorhomes are built on the chassis of a truck or a van. They provide a good amount of space and come with multiple beds, dining table, and full bathroom. Where to Rent There are many options to explore: Outdoorsy and RV Share are similar to AirBNB in the RV world. RV owners place their unused RVs up for rent and these sites manage the delivery and transaction for you. You can find all styles of RVs and price ranges to fit your budget. GoRVing can help you find highly rated RV rental businesses in your area, in addition to giving you great insights about RVing. Special License In most states, RVs weighing under 26,000 pounds don’t require a special license. But Class A RVs are the only ones that could potentially weigh more than 26,000 pounds, so if you plan on driving a Class B or C you should be fine. Double-check with your state’s DMV just to be sure. Know the Height of your RV Very important! You may have to travel under bridges or highway overpasses. Don’t get stuck! Making a Reservation at Jellystone Park Pelahatchie or anywhere else Yes, you need to reserve. RVs are big and won’t fit in just anywhere. If the park offers pull-thru sites, always get that kind. Much easier to maneuver your rig in and out. Check our map to see the pull-thru sites. Propane Depending on your RV, your stove, hot water, and central heat may run on propane only. This means even if you are hooked up to electricity, without propane you will not be able to cook, take a hot shower, or stay warm in the winter. Filling up the propane in an RV can only be done by a professional and not all propane refill stations service RVs. It is imperative you know where you can fill up along your route or you could be hungry or freezing! Multiple Destinations Plan your route ahead of time and make sure that every place you plan to stop can accommodate RV parking. Depending on local regulations, Walmart, Camping World, Cracker Barrel, and many casinos allow RV Parking for several hours. These are great stops for tired drivers. Rest Areas and Truck Stops can be good options as well. Hmmm...What Else? Experienced RVer Chuck R says, "Practice driving with the RV. When you first get it, take the RV to an empty parking lot. Practice making turns and backing up. Take some cones (like the ones they use for soccer practice) and set them up as if it was a curb at an intersection. Be sure you can make left and right turns around the cones without hitting them. Also set them up and learn to back up without hitting the cones." More tips and words of wisdom from the RV community right here. If you don’t know what to pack, here’s the scoop. But don’t worry because The Ranger Station right here at Jellystone Park stocks everything you need anyway! Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear, and Boo Boo are excited to meet you at the swimming pool, the splash park, or the Sandy Beach. Have the best vacation ever!

Through this partnership, Jellystone Park™ will be able to raise funds to send kids and their families to 132 medically supervised pediatric oncology camps across North America. “Children fighting cancer not only bear the burden of fighting their disease but also the pressure of how their families are impacted,” said Jellystone Park™ vice president, Kelly Jones. The Care Camps mission aligns perfectly with the Jellystone Park’s mission to bring one-of-a-kind experiences that bring families together to create memories of a lifetime. “It became immediately apparent that we needed to be a part of the Care Camps mission to give kids and their families an outlet to connect with nature, their families, and other children battling alongside them,” continued Jones. All Jellystone Parks will be implementing multiple fundraising efforts throughout the year along with dedicated weekends to create awareness and increase our donation efforts. Care Camps was founded in 1984 with the mission of giving joy, hope, and the healing power of the outdoors to children with cancer and their families through specialized oncology camps. This year alone, the amazing experiences funded by this charity will bring healing to the lives of over 32,000 kids and family members facing cancer. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Jellystone Parks,” said Care Camps Executive Director Jennifer Mercer. “Their commitment to making the outdoors accessible to all families aligns perfectly with our mission, and we can’t wait to see the impact this partnership will have.” Learn More!

We offer seasonal sites during the off-season, typically from April through October, and monthly options year-round. What are the Ranger Station office hours? Our office hours vary depending on the time of year. Please see the Hours of Operation page for our most up-to-date hours. Will my reservation guarantee a specific campsite or cabin assignment?

If you opt out of the lock-in fee, you are guaranteed your selected campsite or cabin type, but not the specific unit number. How many guests can I have on my reservation? You can have up to 8 people on your reservation if you are at a tent site, RV site, or cabin. If you are in the Lakeside Lodge, you can have up to 12 people on your reservation. Can I visit your campground if I did not book a site for the night? Absolutely! Guests must pay the day-use fee to visit. Day Use Passes are not available during holiday weekend or most Fridays and Saturdays. Can my friends come and visit? Absolutely! Guests must pay the day-use fee to visit.

You may have two cars per site, but each car should have a car pass hanging on the rearview window. These are given with your reservation materials. We do not allow extra cars per site because we do not have enough parking space available. **This excludes the Lakeside Lodge which may have 4 cars.

To preserve the beauty of our wooded Camp-Resort, please do not cut down or damage trees in any way. Can I bring my own firewood? We do not allow the transport of firewood into our Camp-Resort. Harmful forest pests such as emerald ash borer, thousand cankers disease, giant African land snail, and sirex woodwasp occur in many nearby states, so bringing potentially infested firewood into Mississippi threatens the health of Mississippi’s trees. Do you have quiet hours? Yes. Quiet hours are from 11:00 PM – 8:00 AM (CST). Please keep noise levels respectful and enjoy peaceful nights under the stars. Will I encounter wildlife during my stay? Our resort is set in a rustic, natural environment, so encounters with wildlife are possible. It’s part of the authentic camping experience. Here are a few tips to ensure a safe adventure while enjoying the great outdoors: Keep a safe distance from any animals you may see. Do not feed or approach wildlife. Supervise children and pets at all times. Store food securely to avoid attracting animals. Are alcoholic beverages allowed at your park? They are, but the beverage must be held in an unmarked container or koozie. This is a family-friendly Camp-Resort, so please be considerate of others and refrain from loud and unseemly language.

Our park is located in a rural area where utility service interruptions occasionally occur. When outages happen, they typically affect not only our resort but also the surrounding community. These outages are managed and repaired by the local utility provider, and restoration timelines are determined by their crews. What should I expect during a power outage? When utility power is unavailable, electric service throughout the resort will be interrupted. Depending on the duration and severity of the outage, certain amenities, activities, food service, retail operations, and guest services may be limited or temporarily unavailable. Our team will make reasonable efforts to continue providing guest activities and services when conditions allow, but operations may be modified based on available resources and safety considerations. Will water and sewer services be available? No. Our water and wastewater systems require commercial electrical service to operate. During an extended power outage, water service, restroom facilities, bathhouses, and sewer-dependent amenities may become unavailable until utility power is restored. Will the bathhouses remain open? Bathhouses and restroom facilities may be closed during power outages due to water and wastewater system limitations. These facilities cannot reopen until power has been restored and all systems have been inspected and returned to normal operation. How quickly will services return once power is restored? While electrical service may return immediately, many resort systems require additional time to restart, stabilize, and be inspected for proper operation. Water systems, wastewater systems, pools, food service equipment, point-of-sale systems, and other resort amenities may not be available immediately following restoration of power. Will I receive updates during an outage? Yes. Our team will provide updates as information becomes available from the utility provider and will communicate any operational changes affecting guests. Will refunds or credits be issued due to power outages? Utility outages are beyond the control of the resort and are considered circumstances affecting the broader community, not just the campground. As a result, refunds, credits, or compensation are generally not provided for utility interruptions, including loss of electrical, water, wastewater, or related services resulting from area-wide power outages. Should I prepare for the possibility of an outage? As with any rural destination, we recommend bringing flashlights, portable battery packs, and any other items necessary for your comfort during an unexpected utility interruption. Guests who rely on electrically powered medical equipment should make appropriate contingency plans prior to arrival. We understand that power outages can be inconvenient and appreciate your patience and understanding during community-wide utility interruptions.

Recently took a church children’s group out for a two night stay. We organized all our own activities, so we didn’t participate in any of the parks, but they did look like fun! The staff bent over backwards to accommodate all our requests. We ordered all our food from the Yogi Cafe and it was great each time. We had to tack on a few orders last minute and they never said they couldn’t do it. LOVED our experience their! Two thumbs up to all the staff! Our group included about 75 people. #### Kenneth G.
