First of all - There is no WIFI at this Camp Ground. Yogi Bears Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts were founded in 1969 by Doug Haag & Robert Borkovetz. The first Jellystone Park was built in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and still remains a part of the franchise today. The idea to start a campground came to Haag during a drive down the local highway. As he passed cars and campers on the highway, he got the idea to give families a destination where they could camp and vacation for the summer. Haag and his business partner purchased 30 acres of land in Wisconsin which would be the site of the first Jellystone Park Camp-Resort. The inspiration for the name “Jellystone Park” came as Haag overheard his children watching Yogi Bear cartoons. He set up a meeting with the Vice President of Screen Gems (then licensor of the Yogi Bear and Jellystone Park names as the syndicator of the content of Yogis studio, Hanna-Barbera) and got approval to associate the names with his campground. Ground broke on the campground in April 1969 and three months later, the campground officially opened for business. The original price to camp at a Jellystone Park was $5.
