Tent Site 2(Tent only-No Vehicles)
Campsite 1 has an enclosed canopy and an open fire pit on the ground, and campsite 2 has an above ground fire stove. The bathrooms are short walk away, and clean. You are camping close to some of the animal enclosures so you may hear them during the night, but that is all part of the experience :) One of their cats, Camo, is super friendly and stayed with us at the campsite.
I was impressed at the variety of animals that they have. We stayed 2 days, and definitely could have stayed longer. The owner, Cory, is very nice and answered all of our questions about the animals. We’ll certainly be back!

Wow. Awesome.
Outside of the amazing experience sleeping among the animals, Cory was extremely helpful and kind. Would recommend this to anyone who appreciates the wild and conservation, but wants a restroom in range and a host to fix your problems (which she is more than willing to accommodate). Frankly, we’d recommend this to ANYONE. Thanks Cory!

Very welcoming
Cory was very welcoming to us! I can’t say enough about how cool this place was. The campsite was very private and spacious. It was cool to be able to see all the animals and we were even greeted by a few awesome dogs. Cory was so kind to help us bring our things to the campsite (we over packed, lesson learned). We will definitely be back!

Unique camping experience!
Cory was very hospitable and gave us a tour of all the animals on her beautiful property! We enjoyed all the information she had to share about her animals. The camp site was very private and spacious with plenty of firewood to choose from! We would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again! Thanks again Cory!

Tent Site 2(Tent only-No Vehicles)
The proprietor was affable and informative. The camping site is in a wooded area immediately behind the refuge. We enjoyed the above-ground fire pit, which had a grilling extension. I had planned to use my propane stove, but just used that instead.
You can more or less car camp here. We transitioned our things to the site with a provided wagon, so don't worry about difficulty packing your things in.
There are 10 dogs there of every shape and size imaginable and lots of cool animals. We are looking forward to another trip sometime with our kids.
