This water playground is accessible from the beach at Jellystone Park, and guests must wear Coast Guard-approved life vests, which can be rented on-site, in order to play.
Additional attractions include rentals for paddle boats, kayaks, and paddle boards. There is also a large swimming pool as well as a snack bar and gift shop. The campsite also has hey rides, a giant jumping pillow, and basketball and volleyball courts.

Guests have the choice of staying in lakeside cottages or cabins. The cottages are more luxurious and feature private bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchenettes, while the cabins offer a more rustic experience. RV camping is also encouraged.
