LUPO Wolf Sanctuary Rules and Regulations
To ensure the safety and well-being of all our visitors and to protect our natural environment, we have established the following rules for LUPO Wolf Sanctuary. Please read them carefully and follow them throughout your stay.
1. No Smoking or Vaping
Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited throughout LUPO Wolf Sanctuary, including camping areas, trails and shared spaces. A designated smoking area is available between the ticket office and the parking lot.
2. Alcohol: Moderate Consumption Only — Please Be Responsible
Alcoholic beverages are permitted, but visitors must remain attentive and responsible. Excessive alcohol consumption that compromises the safety or peace of other visitors or the well-being of wildlife will result in the immediate removal of your group and a ban on returning. If necessary, we will contact the police to file a complaint.
3. Children’s Safety
Cars and trucks are not permitted to access the reception area.
4. Accommodation Cleanliness
Accommodations must be returned in the same condition as when guests arrived. A $250 security deposit will be collected at the time of rental to cover possible damage or an accommodation left dirty. If no damage is found and the accommodation is left clean, the deposit will be refunded in full.
No boots or shoes inside the tent.
Security Deposit
Please leave the accommodation in the condition in which it was provided, out of consideration for the next guests. Your $250 deposit may not be refunded if damage or excessive dirtiness is found during inspection.
