Jellystone Park™ Delaware Beaches

Set in Lincoln, Delaware, in the heart of the coastal plain just minutes from Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, and Lewes, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Delaware Beaches puts the Mid-Atlantic coast's most beloved summer resort community within daily reach of a family campground resort that operates with its own full schedule of on-site entertainment. The Delaware beaches represent one of the East Coast's most accessible and popular coastal communities—Rehoboth's Boardwalk, Dewey's vibrant nightlife scene, and Lewes's historic First Landing site and Cape Henlopen State Park all fall within a 15-minute drive of the campground gate. The resort delivers the complete Jellystone experience—character meets with Yogi Bear and friends, themed weekends, waterpark features, and nightly outdoor movies—in a coastal Delaware setting that adds genuine regional character to the franchise formula. The resort's aquatic programming centers on a splash pad and two waterslides providing all-day entertainment for water-oriented families, supplemented by a jumping pillow, laser tag, arcade, and playground for the hours between beach trips and slide sessions. Full-hookup RV sites with fire pits and patios accommodate traveling rigs, and lodging options extend to deluxe cabins with kitchenettes and full bathrooms and glamping Safari Tents for guests who want a more immersive coastal camping experience. Free Wi-Fi throughout the property, hay rides, weekday ice cream socials in summer, Saturday night outdoor movies, and creative craft sessions—sand art, ceramics, tie-dye—give the weekly programming calendar a density that makes each day feel distinct from the last. Delaware's coastal strip provides the Mid-Atlantic's densest concentration of waterfront dining, summer retail, and beach access in a compact and easily navigable zone that rewards visitors who discover the smaller beach communities alongside the well-known Boardwalk. Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, north of Lewes on the Delaware Bay side of the peninsula, provides a natural counterpoint to the ocean beach scene—a freshwater and brackish marsh complex that hosts impressive shorebird and waterfowl concentrations during the spring and fall migration periods. Cape Henlopen State Park's dunes, surf beach, and fishing pier extend the natural recreation menu with some of the best birding and surf fishing territory on the Delaware shore. Lewes, Delaware's original colonial settlement, anchors the northern end of the beach peninsula with its own historic district, Main Street boutiques, ferry terminal to Cape May, New Jersey, and the intimate Canary Creek waterfront that give this small city a year-round personality extending well beyond summer. Delaware's famously tax-free shopping status makes the beach community's outlets and boutiques particularly popular with visitors from neighboring Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, who combine beach visits with shopping excursions that carry zero sales tax on clothing and most goods. Ocean City, Maryland, about 35 miles south, extends coastal entertainment options if the Delaware beaches' more relaxed pace calls for supplementation. The resort operates with a primary focus on the summer beach season from Memorial Day through Labor Day, when the Delaware beaches run at full capacity and the campground's Yogi Bear programming synchronizes with peak demand from Mid-Atlantic families. Advance reservations for July and August arrive early in the new year, and cabin and Safari Tent accommodations book especially fast for prime summer weeks. The Delaware coastal shoulder seasons in May, June, and September-October offer the beach experience with dramatically reduced crowds, shorter waits, and gentler temperatures that make outdoor exploration particularly pleasant for guests willing to travel outside the peak summer window.
