CAMPING

Camping at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Golden Valley in Bostic, NC, is designed to give families and groups a wide range of options, from rugged outdoor experiences to cozy, amenity-filled stays. The resort sits on more than 600 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so there’s plenty of space for all types of campers to spread out and enjoy the scenery. Whether you’re looking to pitch a tent under the stars, hook up your RV with full conveniences, or stay in a fully furnished cabin, there’s something here for every camping style.

For traditionalists, the park offers tent camping sites that provide a back-to-basics outdoor experience while still giving you access to the park’s many attractions and comfort stations. RV campers will find spacious pull-through and back-in sites, many with full hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings. For those who want the outdoors without giving up comfort, cabins and glamping options are available in several styles—ranging from cozy cabins for small families to larger lodges that can host bigger groups. These come with features like kitchens, bathrooms, heating and air conditioning, and private porches. Together, these options make Jellystone Park Golden Valley a flexible destination for everyone, whether you’re a tent camper, an RV traveler, or someone who prefers the comforts of home in a mountain cabin.
