Your closest neighbors will be the alpacas. Right behind them is a large petting area with other animals :-).
Our price includes:
- a flat, well-maintained plot of land at the back of Zoopark
- electricity
- the plot is enclosed by a fence and acacia trees for privacy
- water
- restroom and shower
- access to the petting area of the Zoopark (please ensure children are always accompanied by adults)
- free access to the inflatable trampolines and playgrounds
- one free horse ride per child
Zoopark is visited by tourists mainly during the high season, so please keep this in mind. Your campsite is located at the back of the grounds and is separated from the rest of the park. From your tent or RV, it’s just a few dozen meters to the new animal encounter enclosure, which spans over two hectares—where we’re building a “Czech safari.” In the morning, our animals will greet you, and in the evening, they’ll say goodnight :-). On the other side, you’ll see boats sailing along the Vltava Canal—just take a few steps out onto the embankment to wave to the captains and call out “Ahoy!”
The property is large enough to allow plenty of space between tents or cars. In the afternoon sun, mature trees growing in front of the lateral canal’s embankment will provide shade. Electricity and water are included in the price :-).
Zelčín Zoo Park is the largest petting zoo in Bohemia, focusing primarily on raising domestic animals (and more) with accompanying leisure activities for the whole family. We offer plenty of experiences: you can go horseback riding, borrow a goat, piglet, or rabbit on a leash and take it back to your tent or RV to graze, rent a raft and go down the Vltava River with the whole family, and much more.

toilet
- The sanitary facilities are located directly in the ZOOPARK about 100 m from the campsite.
drinking water
- Water taps (our well water , we drink it) are in several places on the property. We are preparing to have it right on the property. The water line is under the pipes and is marked.
electricity
- The connection is on the property. It is recommended to have an extension cable with you, approx. up to 50 -70 metres.
shower / washroom
- A shower with hot water from a boiler (it may happen that hot water is not always available) is available in winter only in the walled part of the farmhouse, in the hall opposite the entrance. No charge.
picnic table
campfire ring
fence
Greywater (shower, washing)
- By agreement, water can be disposed of on the farm in our septic tank or sewer. However, we don't mind dumping the water next to the boat berth on the berth. Technically we don't mind an open drain from the car either, the loft will take it OK - unless you have a car gearbox in the shower for example :-). Just be sensible.
Chemical toilet
- The chemical toilet can be disposed of on the farm in the septic tank (we will show you on site together with water for flushing), or you can use the toilet located in the first stall (the water hose is located 20 meters further on the right side of the wall - for example after closing time when there is no public), or in the morning.
Trouble-free arrival even in bad weather
Our land is accessible at the border of the Zoopark, between Zelčín and Lužec n. Vltava. It's exactly where the boat dock is. A pier for boats. Turn and leave the pier on your left, drive about 300 meters (towards the bridge) along the navigation channel and you will come to the exit to the property (on the right - you will see the fence from the photos and the exit ). The path from the tarmac road is paved with basalt stones - always passable. Just need to go slower, swing :-). The exit to the property is smooth. Tested - cars 8m long and trailers. Up to the height without any problems. ( only if you come to us by CONCORD - let us know - what is on the truck chassis, we will let the inside, as usual).You can go to us even in winter, but as everywhere can be a complication more snow. But e.g. a peaceful New Year's Eve with animals is not a problem.
Restriction of the access road
Unrestricted travel up and down. Only on the left you have water :-). Don't turn there.
cycling
In the vicinity of the Zoopark there is a cycle path No. 7 Vltavská leading from South Bohemia to Germany along the natural riverbed of the Vltava River. If you don't come with your bike, you can rent a bike or scooter here.
fishing
There is a large number of Vltava pools in the area, the Vltava itself and our own pool on our property.
water sports
You can find a classic municipal swimming pool in Mělník or Cítov. There are also sandpits nearby (Baraba) and you can also swim in the Vltava River and the closest swimming is the Vltava Canal, which you have right next to you (you have to walk about 50 meters to the boat turnaround) or under the new bridge, which you have about 70 meters away. In the case of the canal, however, you have to be careful of the traffic. Swimming is at your own risk.
activities for kids
In the Zoopark there is a trampoline centre with 11 inflatable trampolines, a contact enclosure for children and animals. A popular activity with us is to rent a goat on a leash and go for a walk with it. But by prior arrangement we will allow you (especially children, for example) to take part in the morning chores on the farm (e.g. feeding the small animals we keep).
hiking
Within easy reach you will find a number of tourist destinations - the castles of Veltrusy and Nelahozeves, Mělník itself with its castle and winery. Nearby you will find the Říp mountain and the Kokořínské rocks with many hiking trails and attractions.In close proximity to the area, the Vrbno-Zelčín Nature Trail has been built.The trail is about 3.5 km long, it can be walked or ridden on scooters or bicycles.There are 13 stops on the trail, each of which will teach you something about our region, villages and the landscape of the confluence.
Other activities
In addition to the animals, you will also find a pub or refreshments in the Zoopark. During the year we also organize concerts or events for children. We can rent you a raft (order a day in advance) and you can float down the natural riverbed of the Vltava from Vraňany through the confluence of the Vltava and Elbe to Mělník (we will take you there, put you on board and bring you back). We will lend you everything. The route takes about 4 hours. There is always plenty of water and the possibility of swimming directly from the boat. For owners of their own boats, there is a possibility to launch your boat on the Vltava Canal ( we have the Hořín lock nearby). By prior arrangement (really in advance :-) ) and if it is within our possibilities, we will be happy to show you around the backstage area. You can see the pens with us, or how kangaroos live, or try to feed an ostrich (Emu).
The land is partly fenced. Towards the canal there is a steep embankment of the canal dam, then a dirt road follows. However, the site is very clear. It is not allowed to enter the animal pens without prior arrangement, or where it is allowed (contact paddocks). Children are only allowed near the animals when accompanied by parents/adults for safety reasons. The pens are also surrounded by electric fencing! Please keep dogs on a leash at all times when moving around the premises, dogs are not allowed to move freely (protection of our animals), do not enter the animal enclosures with dogs. And clean up after anything. Please respect where there is a no dogs sign (e.g. first stall). Always clean up after your pet. Do not feed the animals, each one has its own ration determined by the breeder. There are pellet dispensers located throughout the grounds. If you have hard, dried kibble, arrangements can be made with the staff in the stables. Alternatively, it can be deposited in the bin which is in the first stable on the farm. No problem, but you can let the children pick the grass and feed - the animals will notice you and come. Please respect that you are near the animals. And the animal wants to sleep at night like any normal person :-). Please only build a fire in a designated place on the property.It may happen that our dwelling will be on the property (if it is not reserved as a whole), as we are caravanners ourselves. So we would be happy to get to know you, possibly even give you a guided tour, and we certainly won't disturb you. Please pick up a small gift for the children, a trampoline ticket and a "ticket" for a horse-drawn carriage ride from the trampoline stand at the entrance to the Zoopark. That is, if we can't catch you personally when you arrive :-) The colleague at the ticket office will also give you identification so that we know you are ours and do not accidentally rush you out as a non-paying visitor. Cyclists - please don't go through the Zoopark, get on your way at the Bezkemp - on the road you came on, next to the Vltava Canal - you will go around the Zoopark on your bike. Please do not camp under the trees to the left of the entrance gate - even if the tree is pruned, you cannot trust the branches :-) !

More info
Nice facilities; being able to enter the grounds after closing time, when rabbits pop up from everywhere, hopping freely, is absolutely great
The animals in the enclosures are very friendly; you can tell they’ve had good experiences and are used to being treated well
A nice place for families with children, with plenty to do at the zoo.
A beautiful place, always well-maintained. This isn't our first time here, nor will it be our last :-).
Zelčín … it never disappoints. Great place and service. It's an amazing place, especially for kids.
A great camping trip with the animals. And if you have any leftover bread, drop it off at the information desk and you’ll get some animal treats. They’ll dry out the bread and give it to the animals—they’re very happy to receive every roll. MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS BREAD YOURSELF—you could hurt them. It’s definitely a great experience with the kids; we always come back here every year.
I will stay in: (What should I select in my case?)

We have personally visited this property multiple times and have always been very satisfied. We highly recommend it especially for families with children, who have so much to do here that they won't want to go home :-)We really like the fact that, by agreement, children can pet the animals, feed them and generally make friends with them. The facilities of the zoo are excellent, so nothing is lacking. There is even a shower, a very clean and well-maintained toilet. For caravanners, water refills, electricity hook-ups and the ability to pour chemical toilet and grey water. Lots of trips in the area. Well just for us paradise on earth near Melnik :-)
