MEET THE OWNERS

about

Kent and Jane Emirbayer are proud owners, builders, and operators of the brand new Jellystone Park™ in Asheboro, North Carolina.

Kent was born and raised outside Rochester, New York. He loves to build and create and is quite the visionary. Jane grew up outside Washington DC where her family enjoyed camping in their Jayco Pop-Up at Kerr Lake and Virginia Beach. Kent and Jane met when she moved to Rochester. They both volunteered with Young Life, a high school youth ministry. Together, and as their family grew, they camped in the Adirondacks every summer. Every trip they ventured on, Kent would comment that he would love to build and operate a campground.

Their dream became a reality in 2013 when as only God could miraculously orchestrate, they bought the 100 acres on Crestview Church Road.

Both being extroverted, fun-loving family folks, they love bringing families together to enjoy God’s beautiful and great outdoors!
