Jellystone Park in Waller Wins Fourth Consecutive Award for Excellence in Camping Industry

WALLER, TX (March 10, 2010) –Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort in Waller has been recognized with the Entrepreneur of the Year Award by the Jellystone Park franchise system, the fourth year the park has earned accolades. The award recognizes Camp-Resorts that showed an ability to thrive despite a challenging economy, generating a large increase in revenue while continuing to offer a quality product at a reasonable price. It was presented at the annual meeting of the Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort group.

Located 35 miles northwest of Houston, the Waller Camp-Resort has built on its legacy of strong revenue growth despite the difficult economy. With families on the lookout for quality entertainment at a budget-friendly price, the campground has the perfect solution. Guests love the snack bar, game room and cartoon theater; comfortable cabins and full hook-up RV sites. A water playground features the Serpent Water Slide—180 feet of twisting, turning excitement – and will soon introduce the new Pine Tree Plunge, a six-lane slide that stands 50 feet high and sends riders down 350 feet of wet ‘n wild free fall.

“This is the fourth year in a row we have won this award,” said campground owner Bruce Bryant. “It’s an incredibly gratifying feeling that our guests continue to show their approval of our hard work and quest for excellence.”

Park guests also will enjoy the stocked fishing lake, swimming pool, tennis court, playgrounds, mini golf course and petting zoo. The wooded, shaded sites and nature trails are perfect for guests looking to relax and take in the outdoor experience. The Waller Jellystone Park Camp-Resort is open year-round.
