Stay overnight in the park

Scandinavian Wildlife Park

Spend the night in Scandinavian Wildlife Park and sleep in the world of animals with your family, school class, school camp or friends. You can either camp in a cozy shelter or in an authentic Sami tent.

When darkness falls in Scandinavian Wildlife Park, there is a very special atmosphere. Far from the lights and noise of the city, you can feel the calm descending and experience nature in a completely different way. The sounds change and you suddenly notice the leaves rustling, birds chattering in the scrub, and here in the park you may even be lucky enough to hear wolf howls and bear roars.
An overnight stay in Scandinavian Wildlife Park is a very special experience.

Sami tent or shelter

In Scandinavian Wildlife Park you can choose between 2 accommodation options. Common to both options is that there is a program that gives you time with a guide and on your own.
Programs and prices can be found below, where you will also find options for purchasing food, practical info and a checklist.

Stay in a lavvu

Stay in the center of Scandinavian Wildlife Park in a lavvu, the Sami’s answer to a teepee.

The Sami are a traditional Scandinavian people. They are reindeer nomads, and when they are tired after a long day of driving their reindeer to new grasslands, they pitch a large tipi-like tent. This tent is called a lavvu, and you’ll also find one in Scandinavian Wildlife Park. The campsite with the large tent is centrally located in the park – close to the playground, The “Barn” and the eagle aviary.

Stay overnight in a shelter

Are you outdoorsy or just want to try something new? Then you should definitely try a night in one of our shelters.

Right in the middle of the park you’ll find the campsite with three cozy shelters. Around the campfire, you can enjoy snow bread, popcorn and roasted marshmallows until darkness falls. Close to brown bears, red deer and eagles, you’ll enjoy a unique overnight stay where you can relax surrounded by all the sounds of the park’s animals.

Practical info

You can either choose to bring your own dinner and breakfast or let The Loghouse Café take care of it. You can choose a barbecue or burger package, which you prepare yourself on the grill or over a campfire.

Whether you choose to bring your own food or order from Café Bjælkehuset, you are responsible for the final preparation. The food can either be prepared in the small barbecue hut by the playground, over a campfire or in the outdoor kitchen.

We encourage our guests sleeping in shelters to cook over a campfire, as this allows you to stay at the campsite and close to the outdoor kitchen.

We don’t have any camping equipment in the park that you can rent or borrow. You must therefore bring your own sleeping bag, sleeping mat/air mattress, pillow, etc.

Both campsites are centrally located in the park, so it’s a short walk from the parking lot with your gear. That’s why we offer you the free use of trolleys to transport your luggage. All trolleys must be returned to the Entrance when leaving the park.

It is not possible to drive your luggage to the campsite by car.

Toilets are within walking distance of both campsites.

There are no shower facilities in the park.

Several groups can be in the park at the same time. But there can be a maximum of one group per shelter and in a Sami tent/Lavvu. Therefore, you do not have to share sleeping facilities.

If multiple overnight stays are booked, the groups will share the guide. You can see when the guide will be with you on the schedule for either shelter or Sami tent.

The individual groups at the shelter site share all facilities. However, they each have their own fire pit and table/bench set.

When you book an overnight stay in Scandinavian Wildlife Park, you are of course allowed to spend the entire arrival and departure day in the park.

You can arrive from the park opens at 10:00 on the day of arrival and stay until the park closes the following day.

You will, in most cases, have access to the campsite from the moment you arrive on the first day.

The following day, the campsites must be vacated and unpacked by 9:00 am for the shelter campsite and by 9:30 am for the Sami tent, as they must be cleaned and prepared for the next groups before the park opens at 10:00 am.

It is not possible to leave the park before 09:30 the next morning.

In extremely rare cases or by prior arrangement with the office at least the day before, this may be possible. The entire park and parking lot is locked when the last guest has left the park at closing time and the staff goes home. The guide is busy with overnight guests and doesn’t have the opportunity to let people out during the evening.
