We love camping!
April school holidays will be here before you know it and if last year is anything to go by, we are in for another busy holiday season. If you plan to come camping this Autumn get your booking in now. We are camping between the 8th – 23rd of April.
Mogo Wildlife Park is part of the small rural village of Mogo located South of Batemans Bay on the South Coast of New South Wales. The Monaro and Yuin people have significant heritage in the area with many Aboriginal sites and features being identified. In the language of the Yuin people the word ‘Mogo’ is said to mean ‘Stone Axe and large camping ground’. The Aboriginal history of the area includes locations such as Tomakin and Barlings Beach where Aboriginal families tell of the significant spiritual and cultural associations of this area. After white settlement Mogo became well known for the Gold Rush of the 1850’s and settlers creating a new era for the region. Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra residents have been escaping to the South Coast for decades.
Your overnight camping experience includes everything.
Our tents already erected on site, stretcher beds to maximum weight 120kg (larger beds are available which you can confirm when booking online) with linen plus enjoy our group animal encounter on arrival. Due to Covid we recommend you bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. You have the option to order a sleeping bag at the time of booking online however this has an additional fee to cover our dry cleaning. During your visit to our campsite, you will learn to relax quickly, enjoy our chef prepared dinner and live music around the campfire. Our overnight camping is BYO but we do not encourage excessive drinking of alcohol. We encourage all guests to be in their tents no later than 9:30 so they can enjoy the sounds of the wildlife park. The following morning enjoy tea/coffee to start your day followed by breakfast overlooking the Sumatran Tiger then full entry to Mogo Wildlife Park which includes Giraffe feeding.
We suggest you book your overnight camping adventure now as we have limited room on our campsite.

Entry to Mogo Wildlife Park is included in your overnight Great Camping Adventure, but if camping is not your thing you still need to visit the south coasts number 1 tourist attraction. Tickets available by clicking here.
Arrival is at 3:30pm. Our team will not be available before this time. It’s crucial that all guests have been checked in prior to 4pm as we have a scheduled animal encounter that must start no later than 4:15pm. Please drive your vehicle inside the main gates and turn right and down the hill to our camping ground. A Great Camping Adventure representative will be there to meet you. If guests arrive late they will, unfortunately miss out on the animal encounter.
Introduction and induction to our camping ground. There is important information that we need to discuss due to the fact that we are camping at a Wildlife Park with animals in a close proximity. At 4:10pm all guests will be introduced to our Mogo Wildlife guide and he/she will take you on your animal encounter.
Once you have returned to our camping grounds you will have some downtime to ensure your tent is perfect for your night ahead. Dinner is served anytime from 6pm. Due to Covid 19 all guests will be served their food. We will have tables and chairs set out in accordance with our Covid safe plan. Physical distancing is encouraged unless you are from the same family.
There is nothing more Australian than live music around the campfire. Sit back and relax and enjoy the sounds of Australia and the world.
We encourage all guests to be heading to bed before 9:30pm. We must be mindful that there are children on our camping ground. Plus….we want our guests to enjoy the sounds of the wildlife park at night.
Your host will be up waiting and have your tea/coffee/hot chocolate ready for the start of your new day. All guests must have their cars packed and around the campfire at 7:30am in readiness for our walk to breakfast.
A set breakfast is served inside the park, which includes: bacon and egg rolls, Croissants, ham and cheese toasties, cereal, fruit, tea, coffee and juice. Our team will communicate with you on arrival and take your breakfast order so we have it ready for you on arrival.
Once breakfast is finished your host will bid you farewell and you will have the first opportunity ahead of other incoming guests to explore the Wildlife Park. Your overnight camping adventure includes giraffe feeding and these passes will be given to you at breakfast.
