Review of Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park

Just wanted to share our experience at Yogi Bear's...

Just wanted to share our experience at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Sturgeon Bay/Door County, Wisconsin.
We stayed here over the 4th of July for a week. We had never been there before, in fact it was our first trip to Door County. Despite being a bit run down and overpriced we had a nice site and a decent week...until the 4th that is. On the 4th of July someone decided to set fireworks off in the park. Our family, my husband, 2 kids and I were seated around our fire minding our own business. We did not know anyone else at the campground and since I am immunocompromised we didnt make an effort to get to know anyone. At some point management caught whomever was setting off fireworks and they stopped for the evening. The next day we were approached at our site my management and they accused us of setting off the fireworks. About half way through their accusation the man stopped and suddenly realized that it wasn't us whom he caught the night before because he didnt recognize us. We assured them that we didn't have any fireworks and didnt know who it was. They apologized and went on their way. We enjoyed the rest of our stay. At check out we were again confronted by management and advised that we would not be welcomed back to the park because of the fireworks. After trying to explain again that we didnt have anything to do with the fireworks she said they had a "witness" who said someone at camp site 60 hide fireworks under our camper. Again, we didnt know anyone so why in the world would we let a random person hide thier fireworks under our camper? We argued with her for about 20 minutes before she half heartedly conceded and said "ok, it must not have been you" but by then we had been accused not once, but twice. We let them know that we would not be back. I dont know who set off the fireworks and I dont know whom this witness was. My guess is that this witness just spit out a campsite number, or maybe it was someone near us and they just got the camp number wrong. Either way whoever the guilty party is got away with it and we ended up taking the fall. I wish I would have asked her to bring me to the witness...i wonder what their story would have been then? I could have said "I saw the person in site 23 shoot off fireworks...would they take my word like they took thiers? In the end, we wont camp there again and we certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I hope karma catches up to the people who set the fireworks off and then threw us under the bus.
