Jellystone Park™ In Tabor City Plans To Open A 10,000 Square Foot Interactive Water Play Structure This Summer

May 9, 2017 | Posted by Lyn Hayes |

The AquaPlay structure complements a new indoor swimming pool and the addition of 40 new campsites and two furnished yurts

TABOR CITY, N.C., May 8, 2017 — The excitement is building across the Carolinas as the Jellystone Park in Tabor City prepares to open a 10,000 square foot interactive water play structure.

“We’re working to get it installed as soon as possible,” said park manager Rebecca Murphy, adding that Jellystone Park reservations are running ahead of last year’s figures.

The 20-foot-tall AquaPlay structure features water cannons, water slides and buckets that fill up and dump water on children playing below.

Other Jellystone Park additions for the 2017 camping season include a 2,200-square foot indoor heated swimming pool, a corn hole court, as well as new campsites and yurts.

The park has also added 40 additional campsites and two furnished yurts, creating a grand total of 188 RV and tent sites, 15 rental units and seven yurts. The park also has two bunkhouses that each sleep 20.

These improvements complement many other onsite amenities, including an activity pool, a gem mining sluice, a jumping pad, a miniature golf course, playground and basketball and volleyball courts. The park also has a horseshoe pit, a dog park with an agility course, fishing ponds and hiking trails.

The park also offers homemade ice cream and activities with Yogi Bear™, Boo Boo™ and Cindy Bear™, which make camping at Jellystone Park a unique experience.

Jellystone Parks are famous for providing fun, family activities and themed weekends, such as Hawaiian weekends, which often include limbo contests, sand castle building, and luaus. Mardi Gras themed weekends include parades, cookouts and dances, while Christmas in July weekends include campsite decorating contests, campsite caroling, cookie and ornament making activities. The increasingly popular Halloween themed weekends include costume and campsite decorating contests and trick or treating activities.

2011 was our first year as a Jellystone Park™. Since then, we have definitely noticed that we are attracting a lot more guests from a much larger radius that extends nationwide. And we are seeing more guests from Canada. Over this three year time period, our store sales have increased almost 45%! The increased business also helped to allow us to do…

I really like the way it brings me a nice class of customers. I get happy families. I get people who want to come and to spend money to have fun. They enjoy our park. It’s just wonderful they way they come in, and you get so many that want to meet the other guests, they want to go have fun on the Jumping Pillow, then they want to go to the Splash Pad – and they want …

Joey Coleman & Rick Coleman – Tabor City, NC

In 2001, we began a unique challenge to build a campground on our family farm 35 miles inland from Myrtle Beach. People responded to our design of large concrete pads, full hook-ups, plenty of open space, and ultimate customer service. But we soon had “growing pains” with procedures and operations.

In 2003, we joined Jellystone Park™. The operations…

Erv & Marilyn Banes – Frankenmuth, MI

We decided to convert to the Jellystone Park™ system in 1996 because the market conditions were changing. Several of our colleagues had converted and grown in the process. We found that by changing our customer base to families, rather than seniors, we expanded.

The advantage of a Jellystone Park™ is that it is so much more alive than the average park. Plu…

Brent Fannin – Delaware Beaches

2011 was our first year as a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™.  We saw record occupancy levels with increases of more than 35% year over year! The addition of nine cabins to our park yielded occupancy levels well over 90% each weekend!  The conversion to a Jellystone Park™ did exactly what we expected – it grew our business.

Rick Spear – Estes Park, CO

We’ve been in the Jellystone franchise system for 20 years this year. It was a family endeavor to begin with, but over those 20 years we’ve seen significant growth of our campground. In particular, just the last three years in a row we’ve been up double digits, 10-11% points three years in a row. We’ve really been coming on strong, and continue to see good grow…

Roger & Anna Barry – Fremont, IN

When we joined the Jellystone Park™ system in 1980, we were a small operation without a plan. What we have learned through the years from LSI and our fellow Yogi Bear™ owners and operators has been extremely valuable. We now have over 500 sites, RV Sales, waterslides, and a seven family member team of owners and operating managers. We couldn’t have done it w…

Chip Smith – Monticello, IA

We got into the Jellystone brand at the beginning of last year. This is the end of our first season. We are pretty excited about it. What I like most about the brand is the fact that they are drawing in families from three hours away. They all know what we’re there for, and they’re willing to spend a longer time at our park than just the weekend. The investme…

Theresa Isaacson – Caledonia, WI

We’re going to be entering our 13th season, and I sure would hate to own a property without being Yogi branded. The reason we really like Jellystone Parks is because of the support behind us. With 80 other parks in the system, we have 80 sources of question-and-answer type people to go to. The support is wonderful. The franchise, the LSI system itself – their …

Ian & Sally Steyn – Larkspur, CO

2009 was our first year as a Jellystone Park™ and since then we have experienced double digit growth.  For 2012, our revenues were up 33% and net operating income was up more than that, year over year! After almost four decades of owning various businesses, converting our campground to a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort ranks among the smartest decisions.
