## Story

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 02, 2026 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // -- Michigan’s Up North region, renowned for its outdoor recreation and fun, will soon welcome a major new family camping and entertainment destination to Ogemaw County. The former Outdoor Adventure Lake of the North Resort and Campground is being converted to a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort location. The park was recently acquired by new owners who operate the award-winning Jellystone Park location in Grayling, Michigan.

Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts are renowned for their attractions including pools and mini golf, non-stop family activities such as foam parties and wagon rides, up-close fun with the Yogi Bear characters, premium RV sites and glamping-style accommodations. With more than 75 franchised locations across the United States and Canada, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts operates in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.

Set on beautiful Lake George, the pet-friendly Jellystone Park Lake of the North features both RV sites and cozy cottages. Along with a swimming pool and beach, kids and grown-ups alike will enjoy a wide array of organized Jellystone Park activities, including interactions with Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, and Cindy Bear.

A full schedule of themed weekends will provide endless entertainment. From the Wake up the Bears Weekend on opening day to Christmas in July, the fun will be non-stop.

“We are so excited to be bringing Jellystone Park to the Up North,” said Co-owner Marley Behnke. “This resort already has so many great features. With all the new activities we are adding families will create memories that will last forever.”

Other attractions at Jellystone Park Lake of the North include:

- Mini golf course

- Kayaks and paddle boards

- Fishing lake

- Live entertainment
