A New View on Camping in 2026!
…and Why Jellystone Park™ Caledonia Is the Place to Be!
If you’ve been camping with us for a while, you’ve probably noticed something: families aren’t camping the way they used to.
And honestly? We LOVE that.
2026 is shaping up to be the year of together-time. Families and friends aren’t just planning trips — they’re planning memories. They’re trading “let’s just get away for a bit” for “let’s go somewhere fun where we can actually reconnect.”
Turns out, camping is becoming less about roughing it and more about laughing, splashing, adventuring, relaxing, and simply being together.
And we’re here for all of it.
🐻💛 The Rise of the “Together Trip”
Across the country, families want vacations that feel meaningful — not stressful. Kids aren’t asking for more screen time… they’re asking for experiences. Parents want quick getaways that don’t require months of planning. Grandparents want to tag along for the fun (and the Yogi Bear™ hugs).
Sound familiar?
Yep — that’s literally what Jellystone Park™ has always been about.
2026 is the year families choose:
✔ more memories
✔ more adventure
✔ more together-time
…and maybe less Wi-Fi (just a little).
🏕️✨ What’s New in Camping This Year?
Here’s how families are shaping the camping world in 2026 — and how Jellystone Park™ fits right in:
⭐ 1. Weekend Getaways Are IN
Instead of one big summer vacation, families are taking shorter, more frequent escapes.
Luckily, we’re close to Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and northern Illinois — making us the perfect “let’s go THIS weekend!” destination.
⭐ 2. Comfort Counts
Parents want the outdoors… but also beds.
Cabins, RV sites, amenities, waterparks, ropes courses — yep, this is where Jellystone Park™ shines. Families want convenience, and we’re basically “convenience wrapped in fun.”
⭐ 3. Kids Want ADVENTURE
Not just “playgrounds” — but slides, splashes, ropes courses, characters, crafts, games, and a different Theme WEEKend every time they come.
Gen Alpha wants choices.
We say: challenge accepted.
⭐ 4. Grandparents Are Coming Too
Trips are becoming multigenerational — and nothing beats watching three generations make s’mores together.
🧭👣 A Family Camping Experience That Actually Feels Easy
If planning a trip feels overwhelming, you’ll love the 2026 way: less prep, more fun.
Families are looking for:
Short packing lists
Simple meals
Easy bookings
Activities kids can do safely
Entertainment that doesn’t require you to plan every minute
We’ve built our whole park around that. Just show up… and let the fun happen.
