"Welcome to Jellystone Park™ Larkspur
Jellystone Park™ Larkspur is a Yogi Bear™ themed, family-oriented, pet-friendly private RV park and campground. Located half-way between Denver and Colorado Springs (north of Monument and south of Castle Rock) we have easy access to the best Colorado has to offer! In addition to our many guest activities, our 100 acres are also home to one of the best disc golf courses in Colorado, the Colorado Pumpkin Patch, the Illumination Light Show, and the DreamAcres and CircleF8 Ranches.
Swimming
Our heated pool is open from 10 AM to 8 PM in the summer season. It is a great place to swim with a cabana and sunbathing areas.
Jumping Pillow
Fly into the sky on our jumping pillow! It’s a 30' x 60' inflated pillow of fun.
Ole Swimmin’ Hole
The recreation pond is an old irrigation pond used during the clay mine and farming days on our property. So it is a rustic, old-fashioned, watering hole. The adventurous can try out our slip ‘n slide, build sand castles on the beach, relax in the sun, or maybe come back at night and have a fire on the beach! In the winter, the swimming hole becomes a great skating pond!

Ways to Play: Ranger-Led Activities
Our rangers are ready to make your visit great with all kinds of ways to play at Jellystone Park™. Be sure to check the schedule to see what’s going on during your stay!
Sunday is a quiet day at Jellystone Park™. Monday – Thursday have activities scheduled at regular intervals throughout the day. On Friday & Saturday there is more going on than you can possibly do! Come back again and again to enjoy the same fun or something different each time.
Yogi Bear™ & BooBoo™usually make an appearance at the flag raising at 9 AM and the flag lowering at 4:30 PM. This is a great time to get a hug and have your picture taken with them. In the summertime, the two bears often sneak out during the day for other activities.

CircleF8 Ranch has a goat tribe that grazes on the campground each day. There are opportunities to feed the goats and pet them. Check out our goat page for even more goat activities!
“Hey”-rides
Every weekend there are opportunities to tour the campground on our hay wagon. It’s a great way to see Jellystone Park™ and spend time with family!

Coloring, cutting and gluing are great fun when Yogi Bear™ is involved. Our crafts are designed to be both fun and educational for our little ones! Some crafts do have a materials fee.
