Lake Hartwell Wildlife Safari

Fell in love with this place! Very affordable for a heck of a lot of fun and memories. We paid $10/adult (2 adults), $20/rental car (we didn’t want to use our cars), & $5/feed (2 bags of feed) — totaling out to be $53 with tax.

We enjoyed that we had control of our time in the safari and saw so many animals. They were ALL nice and well mannered. I would definitely recommend bringing some water to stay hydrated and watch out for the animals when you are pulling off.
We also enjoyed their petting zoo!! Animals were very sweet.

Enjoy some of our pictures!! Will definitely come back with family and friends.

Amazing!  We had the best time!  Mr. Joe drove our bus through to feed the animals ... he was entertaining, knowledgeable, and told us things we wouldn't have known if we'd gone through in our own vehicle.  My recommendation is to buy 2 bags of feed for each person in your party so that you have plenty to share with the animals!  You have so much fun feeding them that you don't realize how quickly you are going through the pellets.  Great time ... we will definitely be back!

This place is AWESOME! Super fair priced. For 2 adults and 1 kid the drive thru safari, the budgie cage and 2 bags of food was less than $50. Definitely well worth it. The animals are super friendly and hilarious to interact with. You definitely won't leave without a few laughs. The ostriches are the funniest when feeding. It's a great attraction in Hartwell. I'm eager it see it continue to grow! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful family adventure! Our grandsons loved it! Lots of hungry friendly animals. The parakeets were a great bonus! We will definitely visit again😁

I decided it was worth the hour and a half trip that it would take to see if it was as good as it appeared. I was absolutely NOT disappointed! The staff are kind, informative friendly and had enthusiasm for their job. The animals are well cared for and loved. They have several different options for taking the tour. One included a bus or using one of their rental cars (which I highly suggest). You also have the option of using your own vehicle. This is an excellent choice if you would like animal slobber all in your vehicle as the animals come right up to you. The person that created this park, definitely had a love of animals in mind. I cannot wait to go back!

Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary

We had a wonderful time at the sanctuary. We loved feeding the goats,  ducks and geese. It was a nice relaxing afternoon and plenty of birds, pigs, donkeys and more to see. Staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. We will come back!

Just discovered this sanctuary! There's even a cool outdoor amphitheatre for performances and concerts, and an event room great for children's birthdays. Will look at having an event here. My partner and I spent an hour amused at all the different kinds of parrots with personality - curious, hilarious, talkative. I learned that cockatoos live 80+ years and are like toddlers, loving affection and attention, so it's wonderful these rescued birds have a home here! There's goats, emus, donkeys, pigs, and more.

A great place to go for a stroll with my wife and be around animals. We met a number of wonderful staff and volunteers, caring for the parrots, goats, pigs, and other creatures. It is enjoyable just to see animals relax, play, and get into shenanigans. A sanctuary for rescued animals.

Jennifer gave us an amazing tour of the sanctuary and told us about every single animal there. Such a beautiful place to stroll with your family or loved ones! They even have an amphitheater, party room, and many picnic areas where they encourage you to bring your own food and snacks :)

We love taking our 3 year old to see the animals and birds. The volunteers have always been so nice and engaging. We recently met the new Operations Director and a long time employee named Linda. They both seem like lovely, caring ladies. I was blown away by the improvements that have taken place, since our last visit. It is a hidden gem, go check it out!

Hartwell Lakeside Park

This is another place I don’t know if I should share how great it is. The check in and out are wonderfully easy. The spots have an amazing view and decks with fire rings and picnic tables. So comfortable.  Great dog runs. Separation between two lets litttles and bigs play safely separately!  Fun bounce pad for kids. The comfort station is clean and convenient.  Just don’t share this hidden gem of a camp it will book quickly!

Very clean KOA campground,  waterfront sites, small cabins, even teepee's can be rented.  Nice covered water front pavilion to groups.

Hartwell Lakeside Park is one of our favorite spots to watch the sunsets. There are several spots where you can swim. There are picnic tables, a playground, dock, and restrooms. With the KOA nearby, the park gets busy in the summer months.

Very quaint lakeside camping. It's a KOA, but not the parking Lot style KOA that you may be accustomed to. Boat dock, swim beach, clean restrooms, and directly across the cove from Hartwell Marina.
I really enjoyed my stay, only complaint was that the power surged and flipped my breaker several times in the afternoon. Aside from that, I had a great experience, and I will definitely be back.

Beautiful park. One of the most beautiful sunset I ever saw. Very quiet clean and close to lake hartwell. We camp there for 2 nights in tent,  including grill fire and very much enjoyed. Very recommended area for people who want to be closer to nature. There is option to rent a boat right next to camping area or just relax on lake beach

Zoo Boise

This zoo is amazing! You get to see animals super close up regardless they are roaming outside or getting cozy inside! It’s not massive, you don’t have to walk forever between animals or look forever trying to find out where are they hiding, but all animals look happy, healthy and well cared for! The type of animals they keep here are also quite unique! The decoration of the zoo, educational set up are so interesting too! We only had one hour time to check it out this time, but all 3 of us agree that next time we are in Boise we need to spend a day here!

Not a very big zoo, but also very small places where the animals have to live. I’ve been here this year in October. The people working here are very friendly. Great communication and very friendly.

The animals don’t look very happy, but there are some great animals to see. Most of them were inside, 50% I could not see with my own eyes. They did not have much space. The bear is a $5 fee to feed it and see it.

We were finished with watching in about 1-2 hours.

It’s a new stop for on the road, but I don’t know…

This is a fun zoo. It is on the smaller size. We were able to walk the entire zoo at a slower pace in about two hours. The exhibits themselves are dated, but you can see most of the animals up close. I don't know if it was just bad luck, but it seemed a higher than usual number of animal exhibits were temp closed for one reason or another. Overall, it is a fun trip that you can easily do in a short period of time and get to see some interesting g animals.

Fun time. Plenty of shaded area along the path to help with the heat! Cool kids play area giant giraffe slide and little animal statues to climb. Giraffe feeding was fun! Seemed like a quarter of the animals were either no longer here or just put away. Good value for your buck! Monkeys came in clutch like they always do with a good show! Clean bathrooms and overall clean zoo!

A small but good zoo to watch many animals like bear, tiger, giraffe, wolves, zebra, hornbill, monkeys, foxes, panguins, Sara's, lion, vultures, hyena. It takes 1-2hours to visit.

La Posada en El Potrero Chico

Everyone was very friendly, and all the places were very clean and well kept. The kitchen could get a bit smelly when food was stuck in the drain for a day or two. The toilets could also be difficult to flush. However, for the price, very nice. The views from the pool were incredible!! Felt very lucky to help them finish out their season.

As a climber I’m pretty used to “roughing”it. I’ve stayed here for 3 weeks now and I think it’s important to share my experience.

In my entire time here the woman’s bathroom has not had hot water and management has taken little interest in addressing it.

The bathrooms are filthy most of the time. There is poop on the walls and curtains at the time of this review and the common cooking area is always shambles.

Speaking with other climbers who have been here longer they also mentioned the cleanliness, lack of hot water. Management has showed a complete lack of interest.

After moving to El Sendero the difference in cleanliness could not be more obvious.

If you care about having hot water after a long day of climbing or showering with poop on the bathroom floor and curtains don’t stay here.

I did not stay there but went multiple times to eat over the course of a week. In short, avoid this place for food, you have much better options in the area. It's overpriced, inconsistent, and doesn't taste great most of the time. They have sick margaritas though, so props for that. And the people are nice.

Great friendly staff and cool community: they have shared common kitchen and a lot of hang out areas. The restaurant is a bit limited and don’t always have lunch to go options. Accommodation is great. But the share bathroom can be renovated or be kept a bit cleaner. Highly recommended.

I think this is place to stay at EPC. Great options whether you’re parking, camping or want a room. Fantastic food and very kind & helpful staff. They’ve been listening to guests for decades and implemented many things that climbers have asked for, including great Wifi! They put together a care package for a guest at La Posada while I was in the states. They even do an amazing job with special requests, on short notice! You can find lodging closer to the Park, but I think it’s worth the extra hiking time for the atmosphere and all of the services. It’s nice to have so many other climbers in the compound! Meet people from all over the world, swap beta while cooking your own dinner, find a partner, etc. I can’t wait to visit again.

VISTA POTRERO // hotel & camping

As close as Potrero Chico as you can get! Service was excellent and very accommodating. We had a great breakfast every morning. Room was also clean.

Wonderful setting and super close to climbing. Hosts went way out of their way to make us comfortable. New lounge area was modern and enjoyable. Will definitely come again!

Lemuria used to be the luxury hotel from what we heard. But upon arrival, we discovered it was falling apart, poorly maintained, not cleaned (trash from previous guests still in the room),  mold on the walls, and full of bugs( not kidding maybe 100 mosquitos on the walls) . The beds didn't even have a sheet, just a mattress pad.... and it was obvious that it hadn't been cleaned in a while (there was hair on the sheets from previous guests).

We requested a refund since the room was not what was advertised. the management and owner refused to give any reimbursement. They tried showing us another room with the same problems, a dirty, ill-maintained room with a bug problem. They also snuck in a 6% upcharge for using a credit card, which was never mentioned in the booking advertisement or the website, and only upon arrival did we discover the extra charge.
The wifi is only available outside the main office.
Take your money elsewhere. The rest of the accommodations in the canyon are better value and cheaper.
The only upside is the proximity to the canyon. Which in my opinion is not worth it. When there are significantly better options 5 minutes walk away.

While the view was beautiful the hotel was not. The only thing that seemed clean there was the pool. Yuck-hair and stains on the sheets. Rubble and garbage on the grounds-the room had a mirror that had not even been taken out of packaging or hung on well. Overall gross do not recommend.

There are no words for how highly I recommend this hotel. We got married here and the night was described as magical and as "the best wedding ever" by everyone who attended. I cannot thank Jorge, Liz, Maria, Maria, and the rest of the staff enough. Wonderful, wonderful people who make it their mission to make your stay incredible. Thank you everyone! We can't wait to see you again.

Timberline Glamping at Clarks Hill Lake

Site 55 was PERFECT for my daughters 11th “Glamping” birthday sleepover. Just a few steps from the bathroom, the covered pavilion and the playground/vollyball court. We had so much fun and will definitely be back!

We had the best time staying here! The tent was great, bathrooms clean and very close by, felt extremely safe and the water was just a few steps away. Had an issue with my card but the owners were so patient & we got that figured out with no problems. We will definitely stay here again sooner than later!

Very friendly people, beautiful and quiet. Well cared for area. Maybe a little bit bigger of a playground. Only because between campers & visitors it was too much for the small one there.

We’ve been on several trips and always have the best time! They are super thoughtful and make it so much more convenient to be out in nature with the family.

Had a great 2 day stay. Very clean site, and would recommend for anyone looking to get away on a budget and get some quiet time and recharge.

Silver State RV Park

We will be moving ASAP. The park is not well-maintained, and right now, there is a problem with the water - as in there is no water.  *There was some sort of issue with a water leak, and ALL THE WATER IS NOW SHUT OFF.  Yes, they shut ALL the water off in the middle of the day, and did not bother to warn, or tell anyone.  My wife was in the shower, and had shampoo in her hair!  Also, it is loud - people come and go at all hours of the night, and someone here has a dog that won't shut up.  No, no, and just NO.

~*~ RESPONSE TO DISHONEST PARK MANAGEMENT :  Look at your reviews.  You do NOT have good reviews.  That says it all. I am a seasoned Google "local guide".  I have no reason to lie, but you do.   The water in the park was off for most of the day, and we were forced to leave early, as a result.  Your park is old, and poorly maintained.  *If you, ( person reading these reviews ), look down at the reviews - notice that there is a "manager's rebuttal" on pretty much EVERY single review.  There is always some excuse, or "spin" on every negative review.  This happened.  I am telling the truth.  This park has problems.  Read what others are saying, and take heed.

Very bad experience. We arrived after a long ride with our 5 kids at 5.05 pm to find out the pool closed at 5pm.. they didn’t mention anything about this on there website, and was the main reason I booked this campground. Sites were dirty, I was not able to clean the picnic table. Same for the pool area. Most of the campers are seasonal employees (I guess). Arriving around 5/6 pm and leaving around 7 am. Nice atmosphere. Washrooms and showers are clean and big. The next morning I told the kids we will go to the pool for a bit before leaving again. The pool would re open at 9 am and we were all ready. But at 9 the pool didn’t open. The lady at the desk told me she didn’t have a key and we had to wait for the maintenance guy. He arrived 40 min later.. (9.40 am). The pool wasn’t cleaned but my kids really wanted to jump in. So we have been swimming for 30 min maybe before we had to hit the road again.. I told the ladies at the front desk that I wasn’t happy at all. It didn’t seem they really cared.. I asked them for a refund: one of them told me she ‘would fix it’ but 2 weeks past and I’m still waiting.. will never come here again!

This place is worse than than previous owner. Raising rent $25 every year. What services do you offer raising it constantly. Those in the mobile area can’t even have access to the pool. Also making it hard for those on a fixed income like Social security.

Stopped by for a quick night of rest after a long day on the road. Pulled right in, got a tent site, they have clean restrooms and showers. Great for the motorcycle camping. Was greeted in the morning, offered a hot cup of coffee, went on our way. Great location.

Stayed here for a year and a half while my husband was on a job. I loved it. The front office lady’s are the nicest.

Sleepy Hollow Campground

12/9/23 my girlfriends and I had a Saturday night stay at the campground. We bunked in the Safari cabin and it was perfect! The cabin was decorated so nicely and the bed was super comfy! The layout of the campground is awesome, with plenty of picnic tables and fire pits every which way. Definitely planning a trip back!

We spent a long weekend here late August. Our site was clean and shaded. The owner was on-site and very helpful. It's a quiet campground with easy access to surrounding, more touristy destinations. The New Germany State Park is close, with great hiking trails. The seasonal campers are friendly and helpful, if needed. The only reason for a 4 rating and not 5, is the lack of an on-site dump station. There is one close by at NGS Park. The owner said that a dump station is planned for the near future. I would recommend this campground for a nice, quiet getaway.

Our family of seven stayed in the two adjacent medium cabins which had plenty of room for four guests each, comfy beds, and efficient small heaters. The bathhouse with plenty of hot water and heat is a short walk away. The site has beautiful trees and shade and is an easy 20-30 minute drive to local points of interest. Cell service was spotty and wifi was only available at the bathhouse which promoted family fun and lots of reading and relaxing but we could still check important updates intermittently. I would highly recommend Sleepy Hollow for a cabin or RV stay. The tent sites are walk-in, small, and limited in flat space with no electric or water option. I'm a bit of a lazy tent camper! We'll be back for some of the local events.

"A Serene Retreat at Sleepy Hollow Campground"

There's a quiet charm that weaves its way through Sleepy Hollow Campground, a destination we discovered after departing from the equally serene Deep Creek Lake State Park. Despite being easily accessible, Sleepy Hollow gives you a feeling of having stumbled upon a secret sanctuary.

The first impression that Sleepy Hollow makes is one of immaculate cleanliness, combined with a sense of spaciousness that amplifies the tranquility of the surroundings. Each campsite here enjoys a generous allotment of space, offering an appreciated contrast to some other private campgrounds that tend towards denser configurations.

Much like Deep Creek Lake State Park, Sleepy Hollow cultivates a gentle and relaxing ambiance. However, it exudes its own unique charm and laid-back vibe. It feels as though the campground exists in a bubble of quietude and relaxation, creating a welcoming haven for campers who enjoy peaceful retreats.

The standout attribute of Sleepy Hollow is this atmosphere of calm. It invites relaxation, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a gentle camping experience in the heart of nature, yet still enjoying the benefits of well-kept facilities. If you found a place of quiet enjoyment at Deep Creek Lake State Park, Sleepy Hollow Campground will surely strike the same chord with you.

We brought our 21ft trailer for the long weekend. It was easy to pull in, had fire pits and picnic tables. We loved the ability to use the bath house and felt safe sending the kids over solo. It's dog friendly which is a must for us.  We will be back soon!

Wild Georgia Safari Park

We love this safari!! I have been multiple times and we it’s always fun! You just pay your entrance fee and buy your food inside the gas station then you walk in the petting zoo area to feed all the animals! You can also do a safari ride to the back which is cool too! We had the bus all to ourselves! It’s rained on the day we were originally supposed to do our safari ride and they let us come back the next day! They have also added in a new park area and carousel since we have been so we are definitely going to make the trip back!

Just stumbled across this place stopping for fuel. Very sweet. The smaller birds are stressed which was heart breaking,  they were plucking out their own feathers. The others seemed quite happy. We didnt stay long, just  fed the emu and alpaca (?).

This was a neat stop. Grandkids really enjoyed it. We didn't get to take the full tour but we stopped in to feed the animals and play!

Great safari ride to feed the animals.  So many to see and the owner is very knowledgeable about them all.  Great day for my 4 and 6 year old grandsons but I enjoyed it just as much!

Amazing experience! We were able to interact with a lot of animals. Will definitely go again!
