At Clay’s Resort Jellystone Park™, you'll find a family-friendly location packed with fun activities, amenities, and opportunities to make lasting memories. Let’s take a look at what a day in the life of a seasonal camper is like at this one-of-a-kind family campground in Ohio!

The Daily Routine

Start your day early by enjoying a peaceful morning at your RV site. The refreshing feeling of the morning air can be crisp, and the scenic surroundings will instantly make you feel like you’re on vacation. Imagine waking up and stepping out of your cozy RV, which is just a short walk from all the excitement. If you're in the mood for something leisurely, head over to our on-site dining options, or make an easy breakfast over the fire right outside your RV.

After breakfast, it’s time for some fun! If you're searching for a campground with a pool in Ohio, Clay’s Resort Jellystone Park™ is the option for you. The water activities are perfect for both the kids and adults, so whether you’re in the mood to splash around or relax on a lounge chair by the pool, you’ll find a perfect spot to unwind.

But the water park is just the beginning! If you’re feeling adventurous, take on the water inflatables and 150-foot water slides or take a hike on our camping resort's trails. You might even spot a few deer or other wildlife as you explore the surroundings of the campground in northeast Ohio. If you prefer something more interactive, check out our themed events, where you and your family can enjoy a jam-packed scheduled filled with activities.

After a fun-filled morning, it’s time for a family lunch. Grab some snacks from the camp store, or head back to your RV site to enjoy a homemade picnic. Many seasonal campers take advantage of their home away from home atmosphere to cook up something special in their on their personal grills.

Once you’ve recharged, the afternoon is perfect for exploring some of the other exciting attractions. Clay’s Resort Jellystone Park™ offers a range of options like mini-golf, water slides, and arts & crafts activities for the kids. You’ll also love our seasonal country music festivals, including the Neon Nights Country Music Festival, which attracts music lovers from all over Ohio.

As the sun begins to set, the campground's serene beauty transforms into a magical evening. For dinner, why not try a classic campground favorite—a dinner made by a roasting fire, and for dessert, s'mores by the campfire! It’s an essential part of the seasonal camping in Ohio.

Afterwards, gather with friends and family for some good old-fashioned storytelling whether in the comfort of your RV or outside around the campfire. From movies and board games, to relaxing by the fire and stargazing, the choice is yours at our Ohio seasonal campground.
