Yogi Bear in Milbrook

Last week my husband, myself and my sister in law got a 2 room cabin at Yogi Bear in Milbrook. 
here is their website: Yogi Bear Milbrook  -- Here is another place in the area I would like to camp at - seems comparable Mallard Bend Camping

It's only about 20 minutes from plano - and I had never been their. We had been working a lot, and really just wanted to take a break from everything.

Yogi Bear has 2 pools, a kid pool, a hot tub, horse shoes, a volleyball net, a snack shop, a over priced camp store, and has a creek running through it. They have full hook up sites for campers, primitive sites, camping sites with electricity and water, cabins to rent, and a couple bigger "cabins" to rent. Basically trailer homes. We had a good time their, it was relaxing, we made a fire ($6 per wood stack) The cabin had a little fridge and a microwave, so that was nice. The cabin was $98 to rent I believe for the night - Yogi bear gives no discounts. Camp sites were around $55 with electric, the bigger trailer homes were around $200 to rent. All of these prices are for 2 people - each additional person is $15 plus $5 if you want to take your dog -and I did. So it did get pricy, but that's just how Yogi bear rolls. You could actually fit 8 people in that tinny cabin, so if you had enough people it could be cheaper...

We pretty much cooked awesome food, hung out by the pool, drank too much... pretty much most of the things a good camping trip is made of. We would like to stay a little longer next time - maybe purchase a pop up camper. I would recommend Yogi bear because they have so many activitys - if we had kids, they would have been very entertained the whole time.

One thing though - they said they had a pond, it was not a pond, it was a small dam made in the creek - do not think it would be good for fishing. One more activity close by is horse back riding - not on site, but down the street.
