✏️ General Feedback / Review: We stayed at Jellystone Park Tower Park in Lodi, California, and it proved to be a lively, family-focused base for exploring the Delta region. The RV sites were clean, level, and offered full-hookup access, making set-up simple after a travel day. With plenty of cabins available, it’s also a great option for those traveling without an RV.
The resort is all about family fun, with its water playground, lazy river, mini-golf, laser tag, sports courts, and wagon rides with Yogi Bear. It’s a busy, activity-filled atmosphere—ideal for families with kids who want constant entertainment. For those looking to venture out, it’s a short drive to Lodi’s wine country, local museums, and kayaking on the Mokelumne River.
Evenings brought a more relaxed vibe; we enjoyed strolling the grounds and winding down after the day’s excitement. While it’s a bustling park that can feel crowded during peak weekends, the helpful staff and variety of amenities made our stay easy and enjoyable.
Overall, Jellystone Tower Park is a top pick for families wanting a destination-style campground in Northern California. We’d happily return when we’re in the area, especially with the kids eager to tackle another round of mini-golf and water play!
