Michigan Thumbcoast Jellystone Park Makes a Splash with New Water Attractions for 2024
May 15 2024 - 10:00AM
Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in the heart of Michigan’s
Thumbcoast will be delighting families this summer with a new
multi-level splashpad and a pair of new two-story water slides. The
popular family camping, glamping and RV resort also has added 30
new luxury cabins, upgraded all of its RV sites and introduced
laser tag to its long list of activities.
Located five minutes north of the picturesque resort town of
Port Sanilac, the Thumbcoast-North Port Huron Jellystone Park is
less than two hours from Detroit and 90 minutes from the Greater
Tri-Cities area. The largest Camp-Resort in the area, it offers
more family attractions, activities and amenities than any other
campground or RV park on the Thumbcoast.
Great Escapes RV Resorts bought the location in 2021 and began
updating and expanding it, with the goal of creating a next
generation family camping destination. Last year the Wibit floating
water obstacle course was enlarged and a 13-foot high “mountain”
was added. Designed for the bravest of the brave, there are only
five other Wibits in the world where kids and adults can leap off
the mountain into the water.
“If you haven’t been to the Thumbcoast Jellystone Park in a
while or ever, you’re in for a real surprise,” said General Manager
Eric Meyers. “Everything a family needs for a great vacation is
right here. There are comfortable, new cabins to stay in and more
to do than ever before.” Meyers added that the resort’s café,
activities center and Ranger Station have been remodeled.
The new splashpad and water slides are expected to open in June.
Meanwhile, guests can enjoy laser tag, which is new this year, mini
golf, organized activities including arts and crafts, gem mining
and a variety of sports. The private, 20-acre lake features a beach
and is perfect for swimming and fishing.
Of course, bear sightings are common, with Yogi Bear, and his
friends frequently interacting with guests. A full calendar of
themed celebrations, such as Cocoa Carnival: A Decadent Celebration
of Chocolate Bliss and Whiskers and Wags: A Pet-tacular Affair, add
to the fun.
The 30 new luxury glamping cabins, which sleep up to eight,
offer all the comforts of home, including air conditioning, private
bathrooms, complete kitchens and hotel quality furnishings. With
rates starting at $99 per night – which includes most attractions
and activities – a Jellystone Park cabin stay is remarkably
affordable.
RVers will appreciate that all sites have recently been upgraded
to include full hook ups.
