Easter egg hunts are great fun at family get-togethers.
Now imagine how much fun it would be to have Easter egg hunts as well as Easter egg coloring contests and spring crafts in a campground setting with Yogi Bear!
That’s exactly what awaits families at many Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts across the country on Easter weekend. 
“Some of our parks even have visits by the Easter Bunny!” said Michele Wisher, vice president of marketing for Milford, Ohio-based Leisure Systems, Inc., which franchises more than 80 Jellystone Parks across the U.S. and Canada.
