Lion Country Safari KOA Campground in Loxahatchee to Close in April Following Sale to Larry Ellison's Foundation
The KOA campground adjacent to Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee will close on April 30, 2025, following the sale of the park to a family foundation linked to Larry Ellison for $30 million. The property, which includes 600 acres, features the safari park spanning 254 acres.
Guests with reservations beyond the closure date will receive automatic refunds. Lion Country Safari spokesperson Haley McCann confirmed the closure and denied rumors of a data center being developed on the site.
The safari park, established in 1967, is known for its conservation efforts. The Ellison family has a history of wildlife preservation, including the establishment of the Larry Ellison Conservation Center for Wildlife Care in 2025. The future of the campground site remains uncertain, with no plans for a data center confirmed by local officials.
