| Probably OK if you are independently wealthy and have small kids |
We HAD been loyal customers of the Pine lakes/Yogi Bear/Jellystone in Pittsfield twice every year for about the past 7 years. I'm sad to report that I won't be returning there ever. In the beginning, it was a good place to go. Bathhouses were good enough, providing you can deal with needing a quarter for the shower and the bugs were everywhere. Typical camping. The costs have been going up substantially as the place has changed owners numerous times. They now have a lot of activities for kids, however, you pay for it. And if you are like me, and the 3 other Jeep club members I used to bring, all you want is a place to put your camper, hook up electric and water, and sleep. You don't care about the beach, video games, basket weaving, coloring books, or anything else. This most recent trip cost me $280 for 3 nights for a campsite! It costs more than some of the hotels in town. I was also told that our favorite sites in the 400 section were unavailable this May. It used to be packed with Jeepers, so I thought I was late reserving. It had been declining in recent years, but this time, it was a ghost town. The entire time we were there, not a single 400 section campsite was used. All empty! I also had to pay an extra $40 because I had my 2 adult children with me. Younger children are included, but adult children cost more.
We stayed here in a Class C Motorhome.
