To make every aspect of your Jellystone Park™ experience delightful, from check-in to check-out and every fun-filled hour in between, here are some basic tips and helpful information about your campsite and the bear necessities for your campsite:

For your Information: Jellystone Park™ is privately owned and operated, but the Park is patrolled by the South Simcoe Police. For everyone's safety and security, the police are authorized to enforce the laws of the land. Please do your part to ensure a safe and happy camping experience for all.
If you have any questions or concerns about these rules, please read about vehicles in the park or visit our Frequently Asked Questions. You are also always welcome to contact us directly for any specific questions you have.
Campsite Check-In & Check-Out Times
We'll have your campsite clean and ready for your family to check into by 2:00 p.m. on the day of your arrival. In order to ensure every camper gets a clean campsite at check-in, please ensure you have completed your check-out by 11:00 a.m. on the day you'll be leaving us. Additional fees may be incurred before or after these times if you do not comply.
Want to spend some extra time camping with us? Please re-register the day before if you decide to stay an additional night to reserve your site, and be aware that previous reservations will have priority.
Keeping Campsites Beautiful
Please set up in the middle of your assigned campsite so that you're not infringing on your neighbours, as sites around you may be reserved by other campers. Each campsite can accommodate a maximum of one family with up to 6 people, and one camping unit per site.
Please also respect the beauty of our campground by following these guidelines:
- Protect our trees by not stripping or cutting branches or hanging anything from them.
- Portable BBQ's are not to be placed on tables or benches provided by Jellystone Park.
- Please use our tables for only the purpose for which they were designed.
- You are entitled to use only the hookups, table, and fire pit allocated to your registered campsite.
- Additional tables and services are available for an extra fee.
- Carpets and decks will damage the grass on your campsite so please do not use them.
- Ensure slide outs do not open onto the neighbouring site(s).
- Do not use the awning on trailer rentals.
You will be held financially responsible for any damages to Park property.
Camping is an outdoor experience. Refunds are not given due to acts or discomforts of nature.
Quiet Hours
To respect campers of all ages, quiet hours for all campsites are enforced from 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. Please do not play loud radios, stereos, or make disruptive noise at anytime. The use of generators is not permitted other than in designated overflow areas.
Campfires
Campfires are limited to the in ground fire pits at your campsite, and must be tended by an adult at all times. Bonfires are not allowed. Please be sure campfires are doused and completely out before retiring or leaving the campground. All campfires must be extinguished by 11:00 p.m.
Firewood
Firewood is available for purchase. Please do not bring or use your own firewood in our park. Please be aware that transporting your own firewood into the park is illegal and any firewood used must be purchased at the Ranger Station. This prevents the spread of the destructive emerald ash borer beetle. We provide fire pits and clean-out service on the basis that our guests purchase their firewood from our camp store. Our firewood is all-natural, split from solid wood logs, completely free of dangerous wood pests, nails, and chemical contaminants. It is safe for the cooking of food, and the environment.
Pets
Pets are allowed at Jellystone Park, but they must be kept on a leash or confined to sites at all times, and are not to be left unattended at any time. Barking dogs disturb neighbours, so the authorities will be called if a dog is left unattended and barking. You can exercise pets along the perimeter fence lines around the lagoon area, not on or around other people's sites. A "Stoop and Scoop" policy is in effect at all times, in all locations. Whenever possible, pet owners should have their pets relieve themselves on their own site, and residue should be picked up immediately and urine spots watered. Pets are not permitted in buildings, swimming pool area, playground, rental units, or mini-putt areas.
