There's an all new water park in our area this summer and it's situated right inside one of the Hudson Valley's favorite Campgrounds, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp and Resort. The park is set on 90 acres overlooking the Wallkill River with spectacular views of the Shawangunk Ridge with a short drive to Minnewaska State Park, Downtown New Paltz and more. Jellystone Park is the ideal family spot for making memories this summer.
