Why Should You Consider a Campground with WiFi?
February 26, 2025Weekends get all the attention—but let us tell you a little secret: midweek camping at Jellystone Park™ Cherokee might just be the best-kept family vacation secret in the Smokies!
Whether you’re an RV family, cabin camper, or new to the Yogi Bear™ experience, a Monday-through-Thursday getaway has a ton of perks (and a whole lot of fun). Here’s why families in the know are choosing midweek stays:
1. More Room to Roam
No crowds = more space to play! Whether it’s the jumping pillow, playground, or picnic tables near the crafts station, you’ll have room to spread out and enjoy the campground at your own pace.
2. Quieter Trails, Bigger Views
Located near Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we’re perfectly positioned for scenic hikes and day trips. Midweek means fewer hikers and better parking at popular trailheads like Clingmans Dome or Deep Creek Falls.
3. Craft Time Without the Wait
Our craft activities (weekends only in the shoulder seasons) are one of the best parts of the Jellystone Park™ experience—and during the week, your little artists can take their time and enjoy extra attention from our friendly staff.
4. More Face Time with Yogi Bear and Friends
Yogi Bear, Boo Boo™, and Cindy Bear™ are out and about during the week, too! With fewer campers, your kiddos will get even more chances to say hi, snag a photo, or share a silly moment.
5. Better Nap & Snack Schedules (For Everyone)
Let’s be real—midweek vibes are more chill. The energy is just right for younger campers who need that post-lunch nap, or parents who want to enjoy a cup of coffee on the porch in peace.
6. Midweek Deals & Availability
You’re more likely to snag your favorite campsite or cabin midweek—and sometimes even catch a special promo or weekday discount.
(Pro tip: book early, especially in spring and fall!)
7. An Early Start to the Weekend
Who says Friday is the start of the weekend? After a relaxing midweek escape, you’ll head home feeling refreshed—and with way fewer Sunday scaries.
