Guidelines

Guest Guidelines for a Great Stay

At Jellystone Park™ West Georgia, our guests are known for their kindness, courtesy, and spirit of fun. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or enjoying a full season outdoors, these shared guidelines help us maintain the safe, clean, and family-focused atmosphere we’re proud of.

Wristbands

All registered guests must wear their park-provided wristband during their stay.
Wristbands help us ensure amenities and attractions remain exclusive to camping guests.
Guests without wristbands may be asked to stop by the Ranger Station so we can get them checked in and back to the fun.

Campfire Fun Done Right

Campfires are welcome in the designated ring at your site.
Please keep flames at a cozy, manageable height—no bonfires or oversized fires.
Fire bans may occur during extremely dry conditions.
To protect our forest, outside firewood isn’t permitted. Firewood, color-flame packs, and fire starters are available at the Ranger Station.
Moving firewood, even short distances, can introduce invasive pests—thank you for helping keep our trees healthy!

Sharing the Outdoors

Store food, coolers, and trash securely to help protect wildlife (and your snacks!).
Please avoid leaving food, garbage, or pet bowls outside overnight.
Staff will pick up bagged trash during open hours; after-hours, please use the dumpster near the park entrance.

Enjoy Responsibly

Guests 21+ may enjoy alcoholic beverages at their campsite.
When walking through the park, please use a koozie or another non-glass, non-breakable container.
Glass is not allowed in or near aquatic areas.

Welcoming Visitors

Visitors are welcome and must check in at the Ranger Station upon arrival.
Day-use fees may apply based on arrival time and amenities used.
All visitors must follow campground guidelines and depart by 10 PM.

Keeping It Clean

Please empty gray and black water only at your site’s sewer hookup or the dump station.
Sewer connections must be tightly sealed with a sewer donut or threaded connector (state law).
Generators are not permitted—our full-hookup sites provide the power you need.
Trash must be bagged and placed in the dumpster; leaving trash outside your site may result in a fine.
Charcoal should be placed in your site’s fire ring once fully extinguished.

Family First — Always

Kids have the best experience when a trusted adult is nearby, especially at the pool, lake, playground, and activities.
Guests under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all water attractions.
Helmets are required for children biking or scootering around the campground.
Please observe all posted speed limits and one-way signage—little campers are everywhere.
Carry a flashlight after dark; it’s both safe and handy (and helps you spot fireflies!).
