ALPINE, Calif. (KGTV) — Spending the night at Alpine's animal reserve this month is sure to be a wild time with Halloween in the air.
Lion Tigers & Bears exotic animal rescue hosts "Spooky Campover" this month, allowing visitors to camp out near enclosures of its exotic residents. Guests will spend the night within roaring distance of the rescue's lions, tigers, bears, bobcats, leopards, and more.
While the prospect of sleeping next to nature's big cats is a draw, families will also get to enjoy pumpkin carving, campfire songs and s'mores, a Halloween costume contest, and some animal trivia fun.
