Flamingo Land Theme Park & Zoo is one of the best family days out in North Yorkshire. There's loads to do for all ages from extreme rides like Velocity and family rides like Splash Battle to activities for little ones including HMS Bouncy and the zoo which is home to sea lions, giraffes, farm animals, meerkats, lions, hippos and more. It really is a full day out and sometimes, the thought of driving home after a full day out is too much. So in this post, I've put together 20+ options for places to stay near Flamingo Land. There's something for everyone from budget camping and hotels to pubs with rooms and even a luxury treehouse. You can find out more about Flamingo Land here. Let me know if you have any recommendations for places to stay.
1- Stay at Flamingo Land Resort
Flamingo Land offers a range of accommodation to suit all budgets with the benefit of being able to walk into the theme park and zoo from the place you are staying. You can stay in a caravan (as Nomipalony did - check out her review here), lodges and even cottages with hot tubs and access the Flamingo land resort entertainment and facilities. If you're looking for a budget stay, Flamingo Land also has its own campsite and if you stay off-peak, your stay includes unlimited access to the Flamingo Land theme park and zoo for just £200 per family of 4 for 2 nights. Bargain! This deal even includes some dates in June. If you're looking to stay on-site, always check the t&c's carefully as sometimes theme park admission is included and others it isn't.

Barker Stakes Farm is the BEST B&B near flamingo land! I would highly recommend a visit here, very comfortable and the best farmhouse breakfast I have ever had! They also have self catering lodges, some with hot tubs but I’ve only ever stayed in the farmhouse itself because the breakfast wins me over every time!
