Clay's Resort Jellystone Park

Clay's Park Resort brings together camping, water fun, and family entertainment on 200 acres in Canal Fulton. The water park section features a good-sized swimming pool complex with water slides that'll keep kids busy for hours. The slides aren't massive thrill rides, but they're perfect for families with children who want something more exciting than just a pool. You'll also find a separate kiddie area with smaller slides and splash features designed for the under-8 crowd. What makes Clay's Park different is the full resort experience. This isn't just a water park - it's a camping resort where families come to stay for long weekends. You'll see RVs and tents scattered throughout the property, and there's a real community vibe during peak summer months. The park also has mini golf, go-karts, and other dry attractions, so if someone gets tired of the water, there's plenty else to do. The food situation is pretty typical - standard concession fare, but you can also bring your own food if you're camping on-site. The water attractions tend to be busiest between 1-4 PM, so hit the slides earlier in the day if you want shorter lines. Since this is primarily a camping resort, the water park tends to be less crowded than big standalone parks, which families with younger kids really appreciate. You won't find massive bowl slides or racing slides here, but you will find a relaxed atmosphere where kids can play safely and parents can actually relax. If you're camping here, the water park access is typically included in your site fee, which makes it an excellent value. Day passes are available for non-campers too. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, though don't expect the polish of a major theme park. This is more about affordable family fun in a laid-back setting.
