We are so thrilled by our experience of staying at Fossil Rim in the campsite. The food is home cooked and exquisite by chef Brandy. We could not believe the outstanding care from everyone we met. We traveled from Los Angeles because we were told that it is a safari experience better than being in Africa. They were right. The... more

They are all very docile. There were warning signs about the Zebras that they... more

We did a couple of different tours of the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. First, we just did the standard self-guided, drive-through "Scenic Drive" (as I write this, it's about $19 per adult on weekends, about $17 on weekdays; the pricing is a little odd since it should logically be per carload rather than per person). It was fun and we... more
