some of you expressed an interest in this particular campground and I
thought I'd post this. A friend of mine (who I respect enormously) and
his family camp there and say it is a very nice campground. They have
invited us to camp with them there this spring and plans are on to go.
We also hope to take a drive there the end of January and size it up. I
think we'll rent a cabin(always wanted to try that) and spend the night.
Anyway, I trust them if they say its quality. Perhaps some of you like
Jim and Linda King who live in "upper" PA would want to meet there for a
shakedown?

Before I left NJ last year I'd visited Jellystone. I assume it's the same
one up the road from Six Flags Great Adventure. When we went, the prices
were outrageous since it is a common haunt for campers wanting to be
close to SFGA and for my tastes, the campsites were far too close
together. The people camped there were of the "less desirable" category
when we last visited, of course a lot depends on time of year and we may
have just picked a bad weekend to visit. Please keep us posted if you
decide to go!

That is a differant camp ground. The one that they are referring to is is south
Jersey.The one you are reffering to is in central Jersey. I went there last
spring and it was very enjoyable. It is geared toward kids but there are things
for adult to. It was an off weekend so it was quiet and very relaxing. there is
a small pond that is for fishing. My daughter cought a nice bass there. It is
out of the way. I'm from the shore in Jersey and I know of both camp grounds.

Chris- there is a Jellystone in Jackson right near the Great Adventure.
That's not the one we're interested in. This one is not far from the
Cowtowne Rodeo and is not
near the park. There are a lot of these Yogi Bear Jellystone parks
around the area.

Just reread my mesage. The camp I was refering to is the one in south Jersey
that is so nice. The other message was very confusing thats what I get for
doing this so late.The people that work there are very nice and go out of there
way to make the campers happy.

The Jellystone in Jackson near Great Adventure is NO LONGER a Jellystone but
has gone back to it's old name (15(?) yrs ago) Timber Lake I think.

Terri -You're right. I got a copy of the 2000 Anderson and noticed it
wasn't there. the only two Jellystones in NJ are now the one in Elmer
and another outside of Cape May.

Charlene, It hasn't been a Jellystone for about two years. Rumor has it that
they could not keep up the the Jellystone standards.

We camped there for many years (10-12) and about 7 years ago stopped going. It
was getting so dirty and run down. Bathrooms were a disgrace.

With all the talk of the Jellystone in Elmer we are going to give them a visit
this season.

Happy Trails

Terri- with the interest this park seems to have generated, maybe we
should see how many people are interested and get a group to go. Pick a
date, we're starting to plan the season. Anyone else interested enough
to pick a weekend?

Hey, Thats a great idea! We've been discussing this in our household, and
right now we are leaning towards Easter Weekend (if they are open). I know
it's not the usual camping weekend, but having ALL the holidays from last year
at our home for 25-30 people, this year I've decided that I DON'T WANT TO COOK
AND CLEAN FOR EVERYBODY!!!! Let someone else do it, I'm going camping!!!!!

Happy Trails

At Myrtle Beach, Easter weekend (and the week following) is one of their
busiest of the year, rivaling the height of the summer season. Probably
the first opportunity for northerners (like us) tired of winter and kids
having school vacation time.
