Wild Adventures Safari Campground Receives Highest Rating

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2026

Wild Adventures Safari Campground has received a perfect 10/10★/10 rating for the second year in a row from Good Sam, the nation’s most respected authority on campground excellence. The rating places the campground among fewer than 200 elite destinations across the country and one of very few in Georgia to achieve the distinction. This achievement comes as the new campground continues its second year of operation.

"We are honored to continue to hold our perfect rating. But it goes further than just three numbers, its unforgettable family memories being created at a unique destination right here in Valdosta,” said Donald Spiller, vice president and general manager. “Guests from across the country can get up close to the park, animals from around the globe and be closer with their family and friends.”

The 10/10★/10 rating reflects top marks in three categories: facility quality, restroom cleanliness (marked by the star), and overall appeal. For campers, it offers confidence that they’ll be met with high standards, modern amenities, and a destination that delivers on every level.

Nestled beside Wild Adventures Theme Park and Splash Island Waterpark, the Safari Campground is more than a place to sleep—it’s a front-row seat to adventure. All campground guests enjoy access to an exclusive aviary, a private entrance to the park and a range of lodging options including premium cottages, RV sites, and traditional tent camping.

Families can choose RV sites that face live animal habitats and wake up to views of giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, scimitar-horned oryx, ostriches and more—creating an immersive experience found nowhere else in the region.

In honor of the park’s 30th anniversary, Wild Adventures Safari Campground received a new amenity this year: a dog park. The new space provides a space for guests’ four-legged companions to play, walk, and rest outdoors. This adds another amenity alongside a playground, fishing pond, pool and Safari Station—a store where guests can be camping essentials, snacks and park merchandise to perfect their stays.

For those looking to get even closer, the campground offers exclusive animal encounters available only to overnight guests, including opportunities to feed giraffes, African crested porcupines, tamanduas and sloths. These year-round experiences offer a rare chance to connect with wildlife in unforgettable ways.

Additional amenities include a resort-style pool, playground, fire pits, weekend movie nights, and karaoke under the stars. Guests can also take advantage of discounts for Wild Adventures Season Passholders and Good Sam members.

The Safari Campground has quickly become one of the best ways to experience Wild Adventures, especially during special events like the Wild Adventures LIVE! concert series, Great Pumpkin LumiNights in the fall and Wild Adventures Christmas Wild & Bright.
