Pets

Pets are welcome at Jellystone Park™ Pelahatchie. Please read the below guidelines as they vary by accommodation type.

Cabins or Lodges

Pets are allowed in some cabins and lodges but are subject to pet-friendly unit availability. A $25 non-refundable cleaning deposit per pet/per stay is required. 2 pet limit. Pets may not be left unattended in your unit. If you bring unregistered pets with you or bring pets into non-pet-friendly units, it will result in a $300 cleaning charge.

RV Sites

There is a 2 pet limit per site. Pets are free for RV sites. We expect that you will clean up after your pet. Pets must be on a leash at all times and may not be tethered outside without anyone present.

Tent Sites

Pets are NOT ALLOWED on tent sites. If you bring a pet to your tent site, you will be removed from the park, and no refund will be given.

Aggressive Pets

Aggressive dogs of any breed are not welcome at our park. If your dog shows protective and unfriendly behavior to strangers, please make accommodations for your pet to stay at home. If your dog exhibits this behavior during your stay, you will be asked to leave.
Violation of these guidelines is grounds for ejection from the park without a refund.

Park

The speed limit is 9 ½ mph. Please observe our speed limit to ensure the safety of all our guests. If you are asked more than twice to slow down, you will have to park outside of the park. You will not be allowed to bring your vehicle back in. Remember, children are playing!

Quiet Time

11 pm – 8 am (CST).
Loud or offensive noises, rowdiness, or ill-mannered conduct will not be tolerated at any time.

Site Occupancy

Only one RV or Tent is allowed per campsite. Campsites (RV and Tent) allow for a maximum of eight people per site. Maximum occupancy for cabins is the maximum number of people they are rated to sleep.

Smoking

We do not allow smoking in any buildings on our property, including cabins. If you smoke inside our lodging units, cabins, or rentals, you will be charged a one-time cleaning fee of $250.

Safety After Dark

To ensure all our guests’ safety after dark, please carry a flashlight with you.

Trash and Garbage

Please place all garbage in designated dumpsters. We kindly ask that you not leave garbage sitting outside for an extended period or overnight. Charcoal is to be dumped in the fire ring at your site or cabin.

Ground Disposal

Ground Disposal of any drain water (gray or black) is prohibited by state law. Waste water from RVs (including sink water) must be disposed of into sewer drains. Do not put grease down the sewer. We also have a dump station located at the front of the park located across from the Ranger Station.

Sewer Connections

Sewer connections are required by state law and must have a tight seal by a sewer donut (or sewer ring) or a screw-type connector.
