Jellystone Park™ at Birchwood Acres

Greenfield Park

What a great place to stay and have fun with family, making memories!  The staff was amazing and very accommodating!!!  The cabins were cozy and comfortable with everything we needed on hand!  We will be back!!! Happy Birthday again YOGI! 

Family vacation

Cabin was immaculate. Staff was friendly. We went June 19-21st. Other than Sunday pool and waterpark was closed. This was not advertised or we probably would not have gone. The Catskills does however have a Boat Cafe which is a restaurant that rents boats. We rented a picnic boat and ate on the boat. That was a nice treat. Kosher too.

Disappointed

We just stayed her arriving Labor Day and checking out Wednesday; it wasn’t a usual jellystone experience but was perfect for our needs.  The kids got to swim Monday afternoon and then the pool was closed for season. The campground emptied out and we enjoyed driving our golf cart around the propert. It’s very authentic to
What we thought a campground in the Catskills should look like ( some said overgrown/ run down) We were able to take out a paddle boats out in solitude we were the only ones on lake. Because there were no organized activities, it forced us to create our own adventure. We left the campsite and saw the breathtaking  Awosting Fall in minnewaska state park.  Hiked Sam’s point Preserve/ mountain and climbed the ice caves- adventure of a lifetime! We had a 10 & 6 year old and a puppy.

Off season was just what we needed

We were group of 6 (3 Adults and 3 Children - Age 7-10). During registration/booking make sure you pay the site locking fee otherwise they will change the site location originally booked. I think locking fee should be included in the booking fee but it is trying to make pennies while not considering customer satisfaction/retention.

Activities like foam party, laser tag, water slides/pool area, jumping pillow and playground are good amenities for the kids. They are understaff due to Covid but help staff is very nice and helpful. For Adults the hot tub area was clean and nice.

Camping/tent grounds are very small and not marked properly but the price is very high compare to other campgrounds.



Camping trip

This was the third Jellystone that we visited. We were extremely disappointed in this one. The cabin was filthy. It obviously had not been  cleaned in a long while. Additionally, the cabin itself was an eyesore. There was overgrown bushes in between cabins which I understand some people may like for privacy but our picnic table and fire pit were placed right next to the overgrown bushes. There was no other space to move them or we would have been eating in the street. Bbq grills are not provided to cook on. You have to purchase a grill top to put over the fire pit. In other Jellystone campsites, the candy is provided for the kids to participate in candy BINGO. In this one the kids must bring their own candy which we did not know prior to checking in so that was a disappointment. The water play area for kids was nice and all the kids, ages 7-15 had a fun time there. Will likely not return to this Jellystone. Not worth the money paid.

Unlikely to  Return

Nice 4 day stay with 2 kids ages 5 and 7.   We stayed in a cabin with 1 bedroom and a loft.  Everything seemed pretty clean and pretty updated.  Had a golf cart for our stay.  I highly recommend it to everyone.  The resort is huge.  We will be back next year

Nice 4 day stay

Just got back from a weekend at Jellystone Birchwood Acres. We had been to another Jellystone recently and it was easy to make comparisons as it was very different. Birchwood Acres feels like a traditional campground with small activities and not overly themed. It’s not Disney afterall! Like others mentioned, the surrounding area is run down and the grounds were not as well-manicured like the other Jellystone visited, but the staff is what made it enjoyable. Alex and his buddy (pretty sure they were dressed as the characters as well) ran all the activities and were great with the kids and accommodating for the parents. All the activities were timed so not everything was running at the same time. This works for the spring season and maybe not so much for the summer. We did gem stone mining, laser tag, paddle boats and crafts. The kids were obsessed with the popular jumping pillow and the large playground. Note, still during Covid times, most people were not wearing masks, especially young children. Masks are needed for activities but wasn’t strictly enforced.

Nice weekend getaway

A few things to note about this Jellystone: One, just driving to this Jellystone took all of the excitement away for us. The surrounding area (admittedly not Jellystone's fault) is just scary to drive through, there is a penetentiary right down the road and the local towns (if you can call them that) were just disgusting.  Arriving to the park, the park itself does look fairly clean and well kept, however there is just too much park.  Our cabin was about 5 centimeters away from the next cabin over and about 900 miles away from the main attractions of the park.  Unless you plan on getting in your car OR spending a billion dollars on a golf cart rental, the place just does not look comfortable. We went during the pandemic so we wanted to go to a campground to get away from the crowds. Unfortunately, this campground is a campground for city people (NYC is just an hour or two away) who don't understand what nature is. Just pulling in to register, we couldn't find any parking anywhere, there were cars everywhere. We ended up just leaving without even staying we were so turned off by the city-like feel of the place. Once again, I can't say anything bad about cleanliness as far as I could tell AND the people working were very gracious and understood our concerns and gave us a refund but if you've been to other Jellystones in less populated areas, you'll understand why this just did NOT have the feel of a Jellystone and it would have been just stressful to stay there.

WAAAAAYYYYY too large and crowded!

We went for Labor Day weekend (2020). We had a blast the place is very clean and everyone is very nice. Had a blast at the water park and in general the camp grounds are well maintained and all employees are super nice. Definitely recommend this place if you have kids or grand kids, a lot for them to do. I will be back every year. 

Fun family trip. 

An old coworker of mine bragged about camp Jellystone for years. Not sure if it’s this one. We stayed for two nights and glad it wasn’t more. We got a cabin. The first thing that irritated me was that we got there before check-in and was told I’d have to pay a $27 fee cause we got there early to use the facility- I didn’t see this written anywhere - then was asked if I was ok with it. My response - do I have any other options?  I wish we just left and came back at 3. All we did was use the little pool (which was dirty) for a few minutes and then they closed to sanitize and we left to get lunch.  Came back in time to check in. The cabin was pretty bad. The 2 bunk beds were tiny and not even a child could comfortable sleep in them as you can barely move around. The main bed was very uncomfortable and squeaky. The staff was hit or miss- some were pretty friendly and some seemed bothered that they were there. The greenfield park area- let’s just say is very interesting- driving through makes you feel like you’re stuck in time- felt like I was in south Williamsburg Brooklyn with all the kosher offerings. I don’t want my experience here to deter me from Jellystone- I may try the gardiner one next time and hopefully have a better experience.
