Yogi Bear’s Jellystone ParkTM Mill Run is a camping and vacation destination located in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania, about sixty miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
This location of Yogi Bear’s Jellystone ParkTM Camp-Resort has added many amenities over the last several years. It’s now home to three pools, six large water slides, a children’s water activity area, laser tag, two arcades, snowless snow tubing, jump pillows, and much more.
Jellystone Park Mill Run Accommodations
The campground features options for traditional tent camping and RVs sites, and also provides lodging in cabins and other unique accommodations.
There are a variety of cabin choices, in addition to different options like treehouses and covered wagons. Detailed photos of the various lodging options are available on Jellystone Park Mill Run’s website.
The deluxe covered wagons include air conditioning, full bathrooms with walk-in shower, and sleep up to four people.
The tree houses available for rent come with a variety of amenities. They are also decorated inside to continue their rustic and outdoorsy theme.
Attractions
There are two distinct areas of attractions at the campground, the lower and upper area. The lower area includes a pool with small splash pad and kiddie slide, two long water slides, a trackless train, gem mining, mini carousel, pony carts, and arcade.
The two long water slides in the lower area use mats to slide on. These water slides can be fairly gentle rides, or if you lay back, the slides become pretty fast. The water slides include a viewing area with benches. When we visited, the benches were nicely shaded by the mature trees.
Tip: Grab some ice cream at the saloon across from the lower water slides and enjoy a treat in the shade while watching your kids slide.
The upper area includes a large water play area. This area is called Yogi Bear’s Wetlands, which is home to a regular pool and activity pool, four large water slides, and children’s water play area with small slides and dump bucket.
At the regular pool in the upper area, shaded cabanas are available for rent. Overall, this water play area is fairly large and located beside the campground’s restaurant, Cindy Bear’s Country Kitchen and the campground store.
Yogi Bear’s Wetlands
There are four large water slides in Yogi Bear’s Wetlands. Each of the four slides starts in a main tower, however two slides exit into the pool, while two slides have a splash down exit. Each of the slides are pretty fast.
Tip: On cooler days, keep in mind the two water slides that exit into the pool have heated water.
The upper area is also home to snowless snow tubing, two jump pillows, playgrounds, and gaga pit. Cindy’s Pavilion, also located in the upper area, is where many of the activities are held.
Activities
Throughout the day, activities are available to keep the kids busy and entertained. Some of our favorites were candy bingo in Cindy’s Pavilion in the evenings, gaga tournaments, tie-dye and other crafts, as well as train, fire truck and freedom rides.
Tip: Download the Jellystone Park App for easy access to each day’s activity list and times.
Cindy Bear’s Country Kitchen and Store
Cindy Bear’s Country Kitchen is located in the upper area of the campground. There’s car and golf cart parking available at the restaurant and store. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
There’s indoor seating available at the restaurant, as well as a patio with outdoor tables overlooking Yogi Bear’s Wetlands.
Tip: Check out the daily activity guide for information about dinner specials offered by Cindy Bear’s Country Kitchen. We enjoyed the large pizza and wings dinner special, which more than filled a family of four for dinner.
