This is the perfect combination! The sanctuary itself is amazing, with many many animals to interact with! Whether it’s the exotics from all over the world, or the more common pets and farm animals, there is plenty of opportunity to make friends and learn something! An extra benefit to camping is access to the park outside of normal hours. Highly recommend and this will definitely not be our only visit!

We absolutely loved our stay at this Hipcamp site! It truly felt like we were behind the scenes of a real zoo — such a unique and magical experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. Cory was kind, and her hospitality stood out. Her dogs and cats were the perfect added touch — friendly, fun, and full of personality. You can tell the animals are well-loved and part of the family, which made the whole stay even more special. Highly recommend!

I loved hammock camping at the sanctuary it was peaceful but filled with the noise and atmosphere of a forest. Great getaway so close to civilization :).

I absolutely loved getting to camp on Cory’s Property. The animals are so cute and so cool to see! I also enjoyed the welcoming committee of a sweet little cat who came to hang out with me at night and also came to wake me up! The grass on the site was a little overgrown, but nothing too bad. If you want a very unique experience camping, I would definitely recommend going to see Cory!

Absolutely amazing experience! The campsite is behind the animal sanctuary and basically just against the woods, but it provided a lot of privacy just know that it’s not built up very much! Hearing the animals making noises all night was absolutely wonderful and Corey was such a kind host when we couldn’t make it there between checkout times. Waking up and being able to wander around and meet all the creatures was so fun. I would 10/10 recommend this experience!!
