Magical experience
Magical experience- we have three children : 7,9,11 years old. The animal sanctuary was a peaceful exposure to humanity caring for the ones who need caring the most: animals who have been displaced. There is a conservation approach to the care of these animals from primates to small and large mammals.
Camo the cat stole the show w her unfettered affection all night long.
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Cory was a kind host, so giving of herself. I would recommend this overnight experience to anyone.

The experience is one of a kind!
If you have kids that absolutely love animals this is the place to go! On the weekend there is a lake 12 minutes away to swim in! It’s worth every penny!! The animals are incredibly friendly and the staff is informative. The owner, Cory, is an amazing person with a ton to share with the public. The free roaming animals like to be interacted with which is a blast. The campsite is right behind the animals. At night you can hear the birds singing which makes you feel like you’re camping in the rain forest by their songs. The amenities are nice as well. I plan on visiting with my family again.

Great stay!!
Awesome, unique stay. I stayed with my 7 YO daughter, and we had an incredible time. Being able to enjoy the animals after hours plus Cory's hospitality made it a special and fun visit, in addition to the easy campsite. We're looking forward to bringing my son next time.
