The pods were clean, well maintained, comfortable and facilities were good. The log burner warmed the main pod up nicely. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Unique glamping experience with the animals on your doorstep. Pods cleaverly located to give an element of privacy with separate pod for kitchenette and bathroom and decking area to enjoy al fresco dining. Lovely fire to keep main pod warm during autumn months and although good to get away from TV etc. WiFi access is a bonus. Staff friendly and helpful and with access to the zoo throughout opening times, makes for a different way to stay on this beautiful island.

Urlaub im Luxuszelt

Wir haben eine Woche im wirklich wunderbaren Durrell Wild Live Camp verbracht. Der Empfang durch Al war herzlich und vermittelte einem sofort das Gefühl, willkommen zu sein. Die Zelte, sowohl das Schlafzelt als auch das Bad- beziehungsweise Küchenzelt sind geräumig und wunderbar sauber. Die Betten sind bequem, der Ofen ist Ende Mai abends durch aus nützlich. Frühstücken auf der Terrasse morgens mit den Geräuschen des angrenzenden Zoos ist ein Erlebnis. Die Betreuung durch Al ist spitze, er kümmerte sich um alle Wünsche und ist vermutlich einer der nettesten Personen, die man je treffen wird. Der im Preis inbegriffene Eintritt in den Zoo ist natürlich auch super, denn der Jersey Zoo ist etwas ganz besonderes. Wir haben uns ein Auto gemietet, was die Mobilität natürlich erhöht, aufgrund der Straßensituation auf Jersey aber auch für spannende Situationen sorgen kann. Jersey an sich ist natürlich auch eine ganz wunderbare Insel mit tollen spannenden Wanderwegen und Superstränden. Alles in allem einer der schönsten Urlaube, die wir je hatten. Die Kinder wollten direkt für kommendes Jahr buchen!

An amazing place to stay. Al couldn't do enough for you ensuring your stay was perfect. You go to bed with the animals and definitely wake up with them. The sunset after hours walk through the zoo is also a must. Will definitely come again.

on site with the most endangered animals

First time glamping and this ticked all the boxes and more. On site so close to lemur enclosure and a pleasure to obseve from the camp. Our pod had its own ktchen and bathroom.wood burber in the pid. Sundeck and chairs.free admission to the zok and 2 well priced restaurants that were open from 9.30 for some home cooked food. An added bonus for us is that the camping cost helps to support the conservation of the animals. Keeper talks well worth attending.

Not a hotel but a pod in a wildlife camp

A unique experience in many ways: for couples with young children, or older adults like us. You get a well equipped large dome-shaped bedroom tent plus another for shower and loo and a kitchen and finally a little yurt for kids. Each family area is separated by living willow hedges and with a green area in the middle; all beautifully planted like the Durrell Wildlife Park itself. As you are on the other side of the fence from the animals, you do hear various speciesl of lemurs and the loud howler monkeys at somewhat unsocial hours. The staff are excellent: extremely helpful. The dome tents have a wood burner; check that yours is complete. Ours wasn't and in late September the temperature dropped dramatically at dusk and we had a very cold damp night. Next morning repairs were carried out however and we had been offered a room in the hostel if there had still been a problem.

Lovely yurts comfortable and clean

Lovely yurts very clean and comfortable. Idyllic setting on the edge of the wildlife park, organised layout to give privacy. Unlimited access to park during opening hours. Very polite and helpful staff, would highly recommend a visit.

Luxury camping amongst the lemurs

Outstanding! Our camping area was cleverly private and scrupulously clean - everything has been thought through, from the ice-box system to the fire-irons. Al, our camping host, was welcoming, informative and did everything to make our stay seamless and special. Don't miss the dusk tour, our guide Hannah was passionate and knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time getting to know her beloved wetland birds and getting close to the lemurs. The park itself is well managed - zoos are much maligned (and some rightly so) but the park's conservation work is clear to see. Would recommend going into the park at the start and end of the day when visitors are scarce - we had some magical moments including playing peek-a-boo with an orangutan. You can walk from the camp along the cliffs to Bouley Bay where we ate fresh-dived scallops. For fine dining Bohemia is recommended. Thank you Jersey, we'll be back.

Durells Glamping

Lovely setting, but a bit basic to be called glamping, needs a few more added extras , i.e. , extra blankets as nights very cold , and not to charge so much for an extra small bag of logs to keep log fire going longer . Staff Ali as always was excellent,

Fabulous when the weather is kind!

Fabulous experience when the weather is good but be prepared for being very cold at night in the shoulder months, even with the wood burner going. Pristinely clean and hosts very friendly, idyllic peace in the sunshine and I should think amazing with young children. Only downsides are that you only get to go in the park during normal opening times (or twilight at extra cost), whereas it would have been great to get up, grab a cuppa and wander around watching the animals wake. Also, the pancakes on the breakfast menu are reheated shop bought ones and not freshly made which was disappointing. Minor in the grand scheme of things though.

Back to nature at Durrell

We had a lovely few days glamping at Durrell. The "pods" are spacious and we found the stove in the sleeping pod very effective (necessary at the end of October). Having hot water on tap was very welcome and the children loved being able to run around and be outside despite the weather. Our toddler also loved the open kitchen shelves which were just at her height. The kitchen/dining area is unheated, so for the time of year we found that once we had cooked it was too cold to sit in there which meant joining our sleeping young children very early in the bedroom pod. I imagine it would be lovely in the spring/summer, though.

Great facilities for camping and spotlessly clean. Even though the lemurs wake you up early it is all part of the experience. Would certainly stay again.
