Covid 19

Hello Campers! Even with the restrictions in place during Phases One and Two, we have had a lot of fun in May and June. Now it is time for Virginia to move forward into Phase Three, starting Wednesday, July 1st. During Phase Three, Jellystone Park™ at Gloucester Point will continue to provide as many amenities and activities as we feel we can do safely while still adhering to all CDC & VDH guidelines and current Executive Orders.

Please remember that all guests still must maintain a minimum of 6 feet of social distance from others not in your household but gatherings of up to 250 will be allowed starting July 1st. Face masks are required inside our buildings such as the Ranger Station, Laundry, and Recreation Center.
