safari camp returns

For years, a stay at Fossil Rim's Safari Camp offered something unique: the comfort of a private retreat surrounded by wide-open landscapes, wildlife, and skies untouched by city lights.

Now, Safari Camp is returning.

Thoughtfully reimagined from the ground up, the new Safari Camp will feature one and two-bedroom luxury tents by Bushtec. Each space is designed for travelers who want to linger a little longer. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a corporate retreat, Safari Camp offers an entirely different way to connect with nature.

Inside, each tent is thoughtfully furnished with heating and air conditioning, a private bathroom, and the comforts of a well-appointed guest room. Step outside and the experience changes pace. Open pasture, exotic wildlife, and beautiful night skies create an atmosphere that's equal parts peaceful and unforgettable.

Located just 90 minutes southwest of Dallas in Glen Rose, Fossil Rim's Safari Camp transforms a day trip into an overnight escape, giving you more time to experience everything that makes Fossil Rim Wildlife Center unlike anywhere else.

Reservations are expected to open in late fall 2026.
