Chahinkapa Zoo Campground
in Wahpeton, North Dakota

From the internets: "Chahinkapa Zoo allows visitors to camp right next to zoo animals... Gives RVers a truly unique experience camping next to a zoo, with spots where you wake up beside zebras and rhinos, making it great for families and anyone wanting something out of the ordinary. RVers call out the convenience to the zoo and other local attractions, clean shared restrooms, and friendly management. The park gets praise for being peaceful at night..."
Craig did a GREAT JOB finding this fun
and unique campground for our overnight stay!
This is a small zoo with a sweet little campground practically in the parking lot.
We arrived in time to enjoy walking around the zoo to see the animals...
They had lots of different animals ... some I'd never heard of before.
There was a guy there who was going around playing music for the animals
and the bears REALLY seemed to loved it!
I loved the zebras too -
and was surprised to see them in the same enclosure as the hippos -
Who knew?
We could see them from our campsite - which was pretty neat!
And y'all know I always think it's cool to have a few airstreams parked together...
We also took the time to ride the Prairie Rose Carousel...
I can't EVEN remember the last time I actually RODE a carousel.
SO FUN.
Internet info: "The carousel is an exquisitely restored 1926 Spillman carousel. Twenty handcrafted wooden horses, two chariots, and an enchanting calliope are a fun filled reminder of happy childhood memories. The carousel is open to the public daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day."
It was a treat.
This night was just what we all needed.
We ordered pizza... did a water taste-test [ha]
and just sat and visited until it was too dark to stay out.
It was a wonderfully relaxing night after our busy-busy time at International.
Chahinkapa Zoo Campground:
Great for a quick stay!
[I actually wish we'd had another day to explore the sweet city!]
Excellent internet, clean bath houses,
welcoming atmosphere...
AND ZOO ANIMALS nearby.
What's not to like?!?
