What It’s Like to Be a Seasonal Camper at Jellystone Park™ at Rustic Acres.

ree

Have you ever wished you could just pull into the campground and immediately start relaxing—without the hassle of hauling, parking, and setting up your camper each weekend? That’s the beauty of being a seasonal camper at Rustic Acres Jellystone Park.

From April 15 through November 1, our seasonal campers enjoy all the perks of having their own dedicated site—plus the family-friendly fun that makes Jellystone Park so special. Here’s a closer look at why so many families are choosing seasonal camping.

Skip the Hauling, Start the Relaxing

One of the biggest benefits of being a seasonal is convenience. Your camper is already set up and ready to go for the entire season. No more hauling it back and forth, hooking up, or trying to squeeze in setup before the weekend fun begins. Just arrive, settle in, and enjoy.

A Built-In Camping Community

Seasonal camping is more than just a site—it’s a community. You’ll quickly get to know your neighbors, share campfire stories, and build friendships that last year after year. Kids make instant friends, adults find new camping buddies, and everyone looks out for one another. It’s like having a neighborhood you actually look forward to visiting every weekend.

Family-Friendly Fun, All Season Long

Rustic Acres is packed with activities and amenities for all ages:

  • Swimming pool & splash fun

  • Jumping pillow

  • Foam parties & laser tag

  • Playgrounds & gaga ball

  • Themed weekends full of entertainment

  • Arts & crafts, hayrides, and more

As a seasonal, you get to enjoy it all—again and again—without ever worrying about missing out. Every visit feels like a mini-vacation.

Your Home Away From Home

Your seasonal site becomes your family’s home base for the season. Add personal touches, decorate for the holidays, host cookouts, and create memories that feel a little different from a traditional weekend camping trip. Many families say it’s their favorite way to spend spring, summer, and fall.

Why Choose Seasonal Camping?

Here are just a few of the perks our seasonal campers love:

  • No reservation worries – your site is yours all season.

  • Less stress, more fun – skip setup and teardown every trip.

  • Affordable family time – weekend getaways become easier and more frequent.

  • Community connections – friendships and traditions that grow each season.

  • Extended camping season – April through November, enjoy the best of all three camping seasons.
