Jellystone Park™ Luray

We had a great time here at Yogi! We stayed during November which was clearly their off season, but on the weekend they had tons of activities. There are a bunch of playgrounds and things for kids to do. 30amp didn’t work at the site and they offered to come out immediately to fix it. The woman at the front desk was so wonderful! We would definitely stay here again.

6th annual trip and love every moment of it. Unfortunately, we are close to phasing out of the tradition because teens are bored. If there is any way to incorporate more activities for teens, that would be amazing. Perhaps recruit and have them lead younger kids in activities such as arts and crafts activities, kick ball games on the play field. Flag football game, nature hikes, family scavenger hunt races (contestant must take a photo next to Yogi, holding a pumpkin, inside the rec center, inside a Gaga ring, etc. Or, have Pup and a Cup meet up each morning at 9 am at one of the dog parks. Provide a free cup of coffee for any adult who brings their dog to hang out at the dog run. Dog people like other dog people and need an excuse to escape the kids. Or, a pioneer woman themed event for women ages 16+. Bring a beverage and learn how to build a simple but flavorful campfire meal to feed a family of 4. Gather around a fire ring for a gab and chew. $5 pre-registration fee. Participants must bring bowl and utensil if they wish to try the finished product.

Our family had an okay experience at Jellystone Luray. The location is perfect for visiting Shenandoah National Park, which was the main reason for our trip. The cabin itself was comfortable, and the activities were decent, though they could use some updating, especially compared to other Jellystone locations we’ve stayed at. The real issues came after our stay. We were charged a damage fee for a supposedly broken chair. The photo they provided showed a chair in a maintenance facility, not in our cabin, and it was clearly not something you could have sat in without noticing. We ate breakfast in all the chairs the morning we checked out and didn’t have any issues — I also swept the floors before leaving and would have absolutely noticed something like that. We travel frequently and stay in hotels, Airbnbs, and other Jellystone parks, and we always take care of the places we stay as if they were our own. In all our years of traveling, we’ve never been charged a damage fee until now. The manager claimed housekeeping does a “thorough review” and said there was nothing they could do. It’s not about the money — it’s the principle. We know we didn’t cause this damage, and it’s incredibly frustrating to be blamed for something we didn’t do. Unfortunately, because of this experience, we will not stay here again and cannot recommend Jellystone Luray.

We had such a wonderful time during our stay! The staff was absolutely amazing, friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Our cabin was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The park itself offered so much to do, and we made some great memories. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!

We had a great time at our spur of the moment weekend stay this summer. Upon arriving we were greeted by the friendliest front desk agent, Becky Allen. She was so helpful to us. Each time I entered the building and she was there, she felt like an old friend always there to help us and smiling. She said this job is her happy place and it truly shows in her work. She made our stay amazing. We had a great time having a fire, playing on the water slides, zip lines and jumping pillow. My kids cannot wait to go back with more friends. Already trying to plan our fall getaway there.
