Celebrate the long weekend with us! There's nothing like a kick-off to summer at South Haven Jellystone Park on Memorial Day Weekend! We are dedicated to reserving this weekend for those who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in our armed forces. We will take time for reflection, remembrance, and gratitude for those individuals who gave their lives to protect the freedoms and values of our great nation. There is also no shortage of fun this weekend and we have lots of great activities planned. Be sure to take part in a beary special flag raising, a parade (golf cart, bike, stroller), a flag retiring ceremony and crafts, fire truck ride, and wagon ride all in honor of the red, white, and blue! Bring your campsite to life and participate in our site decoration contest! You will be judged for patriotism, creativity, unique use of Materials and more! Deck out your campsite in the most festive, star-spangled decorations, and you could win $100 in camping money! Show off your creativity and patriotic spirit as you compete with fellow campers for the title of the best-decorated campsite.
