Planning a group event should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Whether you're organizing a birthday party, family reunion, company outing, or a get-together with friends, choosing the right venue makes all the difference. At Clay’s Resort Jellystone Park™, hosting a group gathering is simple, flexible, and packed with fun. With a variety of group-friendly spaces and built-in activities, it’s an ideal destination for those looking for something more than a typical event venue.

Event Spaces Designed for Every Group

Settlers Pavilion

Settlers Pavilion is the largest permanent pavilion at the resort, designed to host major events with seating for up to 600 guests and the ability to expand capacity even further with additional tents. The surrounding open grassy area provides plenty of space for group games and activities like volleyball and yard games, making it perfect for festivals, large reunions, or corporate events. Its proximity to the water park and other attractions ensures guests always have something to do throughout the event.

Fox Run Pavilion

Fox Run Pavilion is a larger, more centrally located option that comfortably seats up to 350 guests, making it ideal for bigger group events. While it is set slightly off the main road along the edge of the woods for a more private feel, it remains within easy walking distance of popular amenities like the water attractions, playgrounds, and activity areas. This balance of accessibility and seclusion makes it a versatile choice for everything from corporate outings to large celebrations.

Peddlers Pavilion

Peddlers Pavilion is a cozy and scenic picnic shelter that accommodates up to 150 guests, making it a great option for mid-sized gatherings like family reunions or company picnics. Tucked away in a quieter area of the park, it sits between wooded surroundings and a gentle stream, offering a more relaxed and nature-focused atmosphere. The pavilion includes amenities like picnic tables, a small grill, trash receptacles, and water and electric hookups, while still being just a short walk from major attractions like our Ohio water park, beach, and splash pad.

Picnic & Party Tents

For groups looking for maximum flexibility, we offers a wide range of picnic and party tents that can be set up in various locations across the property. These range from small shelters for intimate gatherings to large, circus-style tents for major events, allowing planners to customize both the size and setting of their event. The events team works with groups to choose the best layout and configuration, making this a great option for unique or large-scale celebrations.

Easy Access from Cleveland

Location matters when planning a group event, and Clay’s Resort Jellystone Park™ makes it easy for everyone to attend. Located just about an hour south of Cleveland, it’s close enough for a convenient day trip while still offering a refreshing escape from the city. Guests can make the quick drive, enjoy a full day of activities and celebration, and head home without the hassle of long travel plans. This accessibility makes it a great choice for anyone searching for group-friendly event spaces near Cleveland that combine convenience with a fun, resort-style setting.

Built-In Activities for Groups

One of the biggest advantages of hosting your event at Clay’s Resort Jellystone Park™ is that the entertainment is already taken care of. Guests have access to a wide range of attractions, making it easy to keep everyone engaged throughout the day.

Our Ohio camping resort features a large swimming area, water playground, swimming pool, and sandy beach spaces that are perfect for relaxing or playing. For more active guests, there are sports courts, inflatables, playgrounds, and outdoor recreation areas that offer something for all ages. Instead of planning multiple activities, your group can enjoy everything in one place.

Throughout the season, we also hosts special events and themed activities, adding even more excitement to your visit. This variety makes it a great choice for groups looking for a destination that offers both space and built-in fun.
