What an amazing and unique experience. If you or your kids love animals, this is an experience they won't forget. There are so many animals and unlike a zoo, you can get right up to them at the edge of their enclosures. The host and staff was great too. There is a little pond in the woods and my 4 year old went on an "adventure" to it through the woods too.

The camping was both rough enough to feel real and convenient enough to be enjoyable. A must for anyone who loves animals and nature

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!
