Can my friends come and visit?
Absolutely! Guests must pay the day-use fee to visit. Our campers are not allowed to give out the gate code to their guests and Day-Use guests may not bring vehicles into the park. You may meet your guests at the Ranger Station and take them to your site after they have purchased their armbands. Day Use Passes are not available during holiday weekend or most Fridays and Saturdays.

Yes, you can! We allow 1 small, 2-man tent at RV and cabin sites (in addition to the RV at an RV site).
How many cars are permitted at my site and may I have extra cars?
You may have two cars per site, but each car should have a car pass hanging on the rearview window. These are given with your reservation materials. We do not allow extra cars per site because we do not have enough parking space available. **This excludes the Lakeside Lodge which may have 4 cars. Cars at the Lodge are asked not to park in the grass.

Can I bring my own golf cart or ATV to the Camp-Resort?
For safety and liability reasons, guests are not permitted to bring any personal motorized vehicles, such as golf carts, into Jellystone Park™.

If you have a disability, you can bring your own golf cart, however, you must provide documentation for insurance and have a handicap placard.

Is firewood available for purchase?
We have firewood available for purchase at our Ranger Station! A bundle of firewood (7 or 8 pieces) is $6.99. To preserve the beauty of our wooded Camp-Resort, please do not cut down or damage trees in any way.
Can I bring my own firewood?
We do not allow the transport of firewood into our Camp-Resort. Harmful forest pests such as emerald ash borer, thousand cankers disease, giant African land snail, and sirex woodwasp occur in many nearby states, so bringing potentially infested firewood into Mississippi threatens the health of Mississippi’s trees.

We do! Quiet hours are 10:30pm – 8am daily. Any guest under 18 years of age must be at their campsite or cabin during these hours, unless accompanied by an adult.

They are, but the beverage must be held in an unmarked container or koozie. This is a family-friendly Camp-Resort, so please be considerate of others and refrain from loud and unseemly language.
