As far as my family was concerned, Yogi Bear Campground was THE place to be during the warm summer months!
Jellystone Park was one of our favorite camping locations. Mom would pack up the camping trailer with all of our gear and off we could go for a long weekend or weeks at a time when vacation was upon us.
For the little ones, there were hay rides and sing-a-longs complete with the Yogi Bear Song. Let’s not forget Boo Boo Bear who was a hit every time. For my sisters and I, there were campfires, days at the pool and waterslides. The nights found us listening to a live band and dancing up a storm. It was at Jellystone Campground that I first had my singing debut with the band. I can remember being nervous the first time I sang “Could I Have This Dance” by Anne Murray. I was an entertainer at an early age. 😉
The camping life was fun all right! Here’s a picture of my siblings and me – you can see the family camper in the background.
Yes my T-Shirt in that picture does read “90% Angel”!
Life was good and I would say that those camping reservations Mom made back then for Jellystone really paid off for us as a family because we learned to have fun and enjoy one another’s company. I can remember my parents giving us the option of inviting a friend to which we would often decline, just because we had the most fun enjoying the camping life with one another!
Thanks for the awesome family vacation memories Mom and Dad!
