Cattle Ranch in the Foothills

6 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents320 acres ¡ AB
We are a working cattle ranch about 10 minutes drive off of HiWay #1. You’re surrounded by wildlife and outdoor activities just as you step out of the door. We offer lots of privacy. During most of your stay, you will think there’s no one on the ranch but you! We’re close to a golf course, about 40 minutes to Canmore, one hour to Banff, and 40 minutes to Downtown Calgary. Perfect for day trips for activities other than camping. Our cows are tame, but not house pets, especially when they have their calves near by! They’ll be curious, but then go back to munching on grass.

The best camping near Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Venture into the heart of Alberta's natural beauty at Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park. With over 3,200 acres of native fescue grasslands and a working cattle ranch, the park offers a unique blend of adventure and heritage. Traverse nearly 40 kilometers of trails by foot, bike, or even golf cart, and immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant ecosystems that define this stunning landscape.

When to go

The best time to visit Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers longer days for exploration, though it can be quite warm. Winters are brisk, with snow-covered landscapes and limited services.

Know before you go

  • All trails are currently open, but remember to close gates behind you to keep the cattle safe.
  • Be aware that the park is an active cattle ranch, so expect to share the space with our bovine friends.
  • Visitor Information Centre is open from 9am to 1pm on weekdays, with weekend hours depending on volunteer availability.
  • For a truly immersive experience, check out the Indigenous Tour: Tiger Lily Loop.
