Reflect, Relax & Remember: September Camping at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Mill Run

As summer fades into fall, September is one of the most beautiful and meaningful times to visit Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Mill Run. Warm days, cool evenings, and fewer crowds make it the perfect month to relax, reconnect with nature, and reflect on the moments that matter most.

🇺🇸 Honor & Reflection: Visit the Flight 93 National Memorial

Located just over an hour from the park, the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania is a powerful place of remembrance and respect. This national site honors the heroes of September 11, 2001 — the passengers and crew who courageously stopped Flight 93 from reaching its intended target.

Visitors can walk the quiet trails, reflect at the Wall of Names, and visit the Tower of Voices — a striking 93-foot-tall monument that carries the sound of 40 wind chimes, one for each life lost. It’s a deeply moving stop that offers a moment of gratitude and reflection during your stay in the Laurel Highlands.

🍂 Savor the Last Days of Summer

September in the Laurel Highlands is full of late-summer magic. Spend your days cooling off at the Water Zone, enjoying theme weekends, or hiking nearby trails surrounded by early hints of fall color. The air is crisp, the stars shine brighter, and evenings by the campfire feel even cozier.

🎉 Events & Family Fun Continue

At Jellystone Park™ Mill Run, the fun doesn’t end when August does! September still brings a full lineup of themed weekends, games, and character appearances with Yogi Bear™ and Boo Boo™. Whether you’re roasting s’mores, joining a craft activity, or taking a wagon ride, there’s something for every member of the family.

🔥 The Perfect Time for Campfires & Cozy Nights

As the evenings cool down, gather around the campfire to share stories, make s’mores, and enjoy the quiet of nature. It’s the best way to wrap up the camping season — together, relaxed, and surrounded by the beautiful Laurel Highlands landscape.
