## Story

Jellystone Park is famous for providing families with pools, water slides, splashgrounds, jumping pillows, wagon rides, foam parties and interactions with Yogi Bear costumed characters. Guests choose from a variety of camping and glamping accommodations, including cabins and RV sites.

As a result of the franchise agreements, families will be able to enjoy Jellystone Park activities, attractions and characters at these new locations this year:

- **Stark County, Ohio** - Northgate Holdings acquired the award-winning Clay’s Park Resort south of Cleveland and is converting the 600-site campground to the Jellystone Park brand. Clay’s Park Resort was awarded Park of the Year in 2021 by the National Association of RV Parks & Campgrounds.

- **Augusta, Maine** - Northgate Holdings also purchased the Beaver Brook Campground and is transforming it into a Jellystone Park.

- **New Douglas, Illinois** - BJ and Jenn Davis are converting their Rustic Acres Campground near St. Louis, Missouri into a Jellystone Park.

“Our current and new franchisees, which consist of both independent and multi-park owners, are taking their locations to all new heights. They are expanding and improving them, adding new attractions and increasing their activities, all of which drive reservations and ROI,” said Rob Schutter, president of Camp Jellystone.

Schutter noted that several Jellystone Park camp-resort locations have recently been acquired with new owners. They include Bremen, Georgia; Cave City, Kentucky; Columbus North, Ohio; Estes Park, Colorado; North Port Huron, Michigan; and Tyler, Texas.
