An incredible cooking surface that can accommodate the entire camping group, this Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has true squeal appeal. It is the larger of the smaller type portable outdoor grills, measuring 51 inches x 50 inches x 37 inches when set up and 31.5 inches x19.25 inches x14.25 inches when collapsed, and yet it weighs only 57 pounds. For those who camp in groups or have large families the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove is idea to cook several pans of camp food all at the same time. Since both burners are independently controlled and have an eight-inch distance between them, the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove can easily handle different food items without the fear of too much weight or spillage. Your cook will have no shortage of power, either, because the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove boasts two high-performance burners that have a combined 25,000 BTUs cooking level.

 

Traditionally, he who cooks in camp doesn’t do the picking up, but don’t let that worry you if you’re on the clean-up crew. The Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has made it easy to wipe off the porcelain-coated cast iron grates. When using the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove for cooking the open-air hotdogs and hamburgers, don’t concern yourself with the possibilities of excess grease and meat that may stick to the grill. Simply thoroughly clean after each use and then treat the grill with some spray oil, and you’ll be ready for the next meal. Because of the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove’s excellent temperature control and 375 square inches of cooking space, grilling out a lot of food at one time is no longer a challenge. You can put the matches away as well because the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has a convenient built-in igniter for a quick, easy, and safe start.

 

While cooking on the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove, your food can be stored on the strong side shelves; however, these will need to be purchased separately. They have easy-to-wipe, stainless steel tops that hold additional food without the fear of spilling or grounding your dinner. Much like your at-home grill, the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove also comes complete with hooks to support large grilling spatulas, spoons, forks, tongs, and scrapers. The camp cook can plan lots of hot meals during your trip because the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove operates on a long-lasting 16.4 ounce propane canister, which you can find at almost any local store that carries standard propane containers.

 

Although the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove has sturdy legs for stability and balance, the manufacturers have also given you the choice to remove the legs and cook on its surface placed directly on the top of a picnic table or the bed of a pick-up truck. The legs are easily removed for just such use, and when you’re done the legs and shelves of the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove can be stored beneath the grill. This makes transporting your stove just as easy and convenient as set-up and disassembly. Once you have taken it apart, the stainless steel lid closes and locks so there is no danger created by flipping or tipping in your vehicle. With the exception of the side tables and the propane canister, the Camp Chef MVP Sport Grill/Stove can be yours for as little as $250.

Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park is the place to be if you have kids or pets. The campground describes itself as a pet friendly resort with many planned activities to ensure that none of their guests will have time to be bored. They feature a heated swimming pool, go carts, and a stocked fishing pond. These are great activities to do if you have small kids and just aren’t up for any more sightseeing. The heated pool in particular is one of my favorite things about this campground. Spending some time in the pool is a great way for kids to burn off some extra energy while the adults relax after a long day. There are also many scheduled activities such as hay rides and games in the game room.

 

If you travel in an RV, the campground also provides full hookups as well as a laundry area and dump station. Jellystone Park also has the option for its guests to rent cabins or trailers, for those who want to camp but don’t want to bring the tent with them. No matter what your camping style is from primitive to modern, Jellystone Park has something to make sure that you get exactly the experience that you’re looking for.

 

Jellystone Park is a campground with just about anything you could want on site. They pride themselves on making sure all of their guests are happy. The base rate is $40/night for a campsite, and more for renting a cabin or trailer. Given all of the amenities on site, this could turn out to be a good deal if you use the swimming pool and other facilities. The Jellystone Park campground has won the Pinnacle Club Award in every year since 1998, meaning that it has a long history of fun times and quality service. Many families enjoy camping here so much that they return to the park year after year to keep making new memories.
