At Animal Ed.ventures Sanctuary, we are all about engendering a respectful, compassionate, and harmonic relationship with each other as well as the Natural World and her amazing creatures. We have high hopes for the long-term preservation of our remarkable planet, her breathtaking habitats, stunning species, and awe-inspiring ability to support the Natural Order of all of it. For almost 2 decades, we’ve been driven by the dream of creating a place of peace and respite for all who cross our threshold.

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!

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.

Amazing camping experience
We had such a great time camping at the sanctuary! The whole place was magical and we had a wonderful time. Campsite was private and had everything we needed! Cory and the staff were so helpful and answered all of our questions. We loved seeing the animals in the afternoon/ evening and again in the morning. We had a kitty hangout with us by our fire and snuggle in the tent. We can’t wait to stay here again!
