What customers say
Amazing location, friendly staff, and unique after-hours wildlife park access. Highly recommended for families with lots of kid activities. Site well-maintained, though some noted shower scarcity & occasional noise/compost toilet issues. Positives outweigh negatives.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Loved every minute of it kids made friends . Plenty of things to do around park. Atmosphere was good and all campers were genuinely quiet around 10 pm . Everyone was respected each other's spaces and staff were friendly . Food in cafe was food and we had a ball.
Disliked Its not so much a dislike but could camp alot longer here if their were shower blocked and washing facilities. Compos toilet ain't great as people don't use correctly however the toilets are left open in main area for night time which is a bonus

A truly special and unique experience. Great bang for buck!
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked This is such a magical and happy little place! We booked last minute through pitchup.com and had the best time, we can't wait to come back here camping again!
The site is absolutely gorgeous with stunning views. The animals are fabulous, well looked after and super friendly, especially Benny the border collie! Our children loved having the opportunity to feed the animals and learn lots of interesting facts about them.
The staff were all so friendly and very helpful. We also thoroughly enjoyed the South African Braii BBQ, the food was beautiful and the chef happily cooked the meats to our liking!
The campsite is spacious and very close to the wildlife park, which we had access to the whole time we were there! It really is a special and unique experience not to mention excellent bang for your buck!
There is a small compost toilet on the campsite, however we never had to use it as the toilets in the main park remain opened all night and are only a short walk from the campsite!
This place far exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it! Our only regret is that we only booked one night! We will be 100% be back!
Thank you Auchingarrich Wildlife Park!
Disliked Absolutely nothing!

Park is fantastic and loads to see and do.
Auchintochen bell tent
Liked We were due to stay in the Bell tent but unfortunately due to the storm we had to rearrange to the Tuesday. CJ called early morning to say there had been damage to bell tent so unfortunately we couldn't stay. Completely out of the parks hands but they were fantastic and allowed us to come to the park for the day and a full refund was given
CJ was so kind and looked after us, we will definitely be back to stay in the bell tent.
We did the tractor ride, the gentleman that took us was amazing, so friendly, knowledgeable and allowed my son to sit on the tractor which made his day.

Great location and very unique experience to be able to stay within…
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Great location and very unique experience to be able to stay within a wildlife park. Like that you can park by your tent. We were staying when storm floris hit but the site is quite sheltered by lots of surrounding trees and other than a few big gusts of wind and a minor tear in out tent it was fine.
Staff in the park are friendly and helpful. The tea room is nice and reasonably priced and has free WiFi.
We stayed for 5 nights and found it was a good base to visit the surrounding area.
Disliked Can be quite noisy with children and dogs but that's the visitors fault and no reflection on the site owners, although maybe someone could do a walk round every evening just to keep an eye on excess noise.

Had an amazing time and loved the staff and location!
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Amazing location, such friendly staff and fantastic to be able to walk around the animals once the park had shut!
Disliked A water tap on the campsite would have been great and could get very noisy with groups with music until late.

Beautiful location, great facilities, staff was very friendly.
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Amazing location, we loved the fact we can just wonder about the park after its been closed, when it was all quiet. Definitely worth visiting!
The only downside is the lack of showers, but dirty kids are happy kids.
