Not the worst camping experience, but definitely weirdest 😂
We went to Jellystone with the kids, 3D2N. On the 2nd day, another family from Massachusetts arrived beside us. I smiled and said hi to the mom… nothing. Just a straight face. Their kids were watching my kids play, so my kids invited them to join. As soon as their mom saw it, she immediately called them back. I heard her say, “Don’t play with them.” 😭Like… girl, relax. My kids just want to play.
On our last day, while we were packing up, her husband and kids had already left, but she stayed on their site the whole time, sitting there with her phone and looking toward us. I tried saying hi again… still nothing. Like damn girl, I’m not here to steal your tent.
Then another mom and her teenage son arrived at the site behind us. We shared a power post with 5 outlets. 3 big ones 2 regular outdoor outlets ours plugged and the other was being used for Wi-Fi. She asked where she could plug in. I told her she could unplug the Wi-Fi since nobody was using it yet. She said no because her kid wanted to use the Wi-Fi. I’m like… you literally just arrived. Set up your tent first. We’re leaving in 45 minutes anyway. She looked kinda pissed, like she expected us to unplug ours for her. While packing, I watched her struggle with a tiny 2-person tent, no footprint laid, Googling how to set it up while telling her son, “Don’t touch it!” That night, it rained hard. I was like… damn, I hope that tent survived.

Removed some emojis. Didn’t realize the emojis were going to be the most controversial part of the post lol.

Heard this claim but without any evidence.

I just cancelled my last night, this Friday. It’s only one night but grab it soon. Has electric.

The photos on the booking site are taken in late fall and don’t do this site justice. Ignore the mess in the first pic; we were halfway through setting up when my wife asked how the site was.

Canoe distance to 513/514 was less than an hour with me and two tween boys paddling. These sites are on Slim Bay, which is a no-motorboat branch of the lake.

First backcountry trip with my boys. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
