Spend the night in Scandinavian Wildlife Park and sleep in the world of animals with your family, class, school camp or friends. You can either camp in a cozy shelter, in an authentic Sami tent or in the brand new polar bear cabin.
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.
In Scandinavian Wildlife Park you can choose between 3 accommodation options. Common to all 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.
Please note that you must bring your own air mattress, sleeping bag and/or other sleeping gear for shelter and Sami tent/Lavvu accommodation.
Are you a small group and want to try something unique? Then you should try a night in our Polar Bear Cabin.
The cabin is simply and practically furnished with room for up to 6 people. Through a large panoramic window you can follow the polar bears in the facility, both from the living room and from the loft. You sleep on beds right up against the west-facing panoramic window, so you can wake up to the view of the large polar bear enclosure in the morning light.
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.
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.
You can choose to either bring your own dinner and breakfast or let Café Bjælkehuset take care of it. You can choose a barbecue or burger package, which you prepare on the grill or over a campfire. *
*It is not possible to build a campfire at the polar bear cabin
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. At the polar bear cabin, there is both a small kitchen and a gas grill by the cabin.
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 do not 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. for Lavvu and Shelter.
In the polar bear cabin there are mattresses, duvets and pillows, so you only need to bring sheets, duvet and pillowcases
The Sami tent and shelter are centrally located in the park and the polar bear cabin is in the far corner, 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.
At the polar bear lodge, camping equipment is not needed, so we recommend that you pack your gear in backpacks.
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, in the polar bear cabin and in the 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 your accommodation.
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 when the park opens at 10:00 on the day of arrival and stay until the park closes the following day.
However, always remember to arrive before the park closes.
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.
Especially for the Polar Bear Cabin:
Here you can only check in from 15:00. The following day check-out is at 11am.
You can easily leave the park around the clock. When the park is closed, there is an emergency gate that can be used to access the parking lot.
Please note that this gate cannot be opened from outside the parking lot.
If you bring your own provisions, remember to bring your own cooking utensils from home.
Remember that if there are several groups at the campsite, you will share these facilities.
If you bring your own provisions, remember to bring your own cooking utensils from home.
In the polar bear hut there is a small kitchen with the most common cooking utensils.
Outside the cabin is a gas grill.
Duvets, pillows and mattresses are also available. Simply bring your own sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases or purchase a linen package.
