Camp Lion - Yorkshire Wildlife Park

Me gustó: What great grounds for a wonderful camping experience. I stayed for Wild Live which made things very easy afterwards as I could just go straight to bed from the concert.

Me gustó: We loved the easy access to the animal park via the gates on the campsite plus discounted tickets to the park helped with the holiday cost. The access to the animal park play park area after hours was a lovely touch and great entertainment in the early evening. There was also a walking bus through to Yorkshire Hive for anyone wanting to use the restaurant there which was a great time to see some animals after the park closed.
Plenty of space on site and while we were staying there the quiet times were pretty well respected by the other campers.
The staff were all very helpful and friendly and the evening entertainment was simple but enjoyable.
Clean toilets and showers and bins were emptied regularly.
There is a small shop on site which is useful but also plenty of smaller shops (Co-op, Premier etc) within a coupe of minutes drive from the site.

No me gustó: Breakfast bar was rather expensive which put me off using it.
No hot water at the washing up station which was not ideal so we had to take it from the washing facilities.

Me gustó: The park was probably the best part about this place kids spent hours on here they also sell supplies in the check in area clean toilets and shower units the dinosaurs part of the safari park was great

No me gustó: Requested a pitch close to the facilities as have a disabled child was put in pitch 1 which was the first pitch next to the entrance so was ignored from booking request not good when your child is autistic and has no sense of danger and had a load of kids and heavily pregnant we only ended up staying one night in the end not a lot for kids to do as the entertainment in the big tent was a box of Poundland games and some music the park gate was locked on the Sunday and only opened at 6pm no electricity on the whole site so no way to charge phones didn’t get any photos the wildlife park as well was a lot of walking and no animals to be seen as all were hiding other then The wallaby’s & giraffes and took us 6 hours to walk around also the postcode given on pitch up was different to the one from wildlife park so struggled to find it originally

Me gustó: Great place for a family with children. Very clean toilets, showers and the campsite itself. Very nice and helpful service. If you are looking for a place to really relax, I recommend it 100%

No me gustó: 10 am is definitely too early to leave, especially since most people come here with children.

Me gustó: Close to the wildlife park
Nice staff
Level pitches
Toilets clean

No me gustó: No hot water for washing up
10 am is too early to check out if you are in a tent.
3pm is quite a late check in also
The accessible wash room was out of order for the whole 5 days we camped. Which having a small child made it difficult as the main showers were very small.
Other than the wildlife park not much else to do in the area.
No one’s fault but the camp had a lot of earwigs they were everywhere in our tent , clothes, food everything after getting home it took us hours to go through all our belongings still found hundreds of them 😖
Pitches were not clear enough and although we had plenty of space it was very quiet. If it was busy I think would be too cramped.

Me gustó: Enjoyed the stay - the team the first night were disinterested. Cannot fault the lad on shift Saturday, he even offered to help a new arrival set up, he made the stay comfortable. Facilities were clean. Night entertaining. You can actually hear the lions roar from camp which was brilliant. Pitches were quite on top of one another but there’s plenty of space of them, fortunately it wasn’t busy, not sure what it would be like at peak. Would probably only return if we were visit the safari again, could have easily done two days there with little ones walking, we didn’t get to see the animals near the main entrance. Overall great stay!
