71km from Banff · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Calgary, AB

Quiet, majestic back to nature spot! This is a place to get away from a busy life. With close proximity to Winchell Lake, this land is ideal for fishing, hiking or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery. We have 4 campsites available for tent or RV/trailer campers. If you're bringing an RV, we have two power outlets and water available. You will be parking on a field and the site requires levelling. Electricity and firewood are both available for purchase (see extras below). Please add this to your reservation at the time of booking. Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome. Potable water, picnic table, and outhouse are all available. We have cows, goats, chickens, horses and dogs on the property that generally love people. :) I have only one dog and typically allow dogs to run off leash. We do have to be careful that it doesn't turn to a dog gang as this happened once and they took down one of my goats. The goats Hon and Chewy are okay but it took months for poor Hon to heal. I also worry about the chickens so please keep and eye on your dogs! Lots of treed areas for private camping, horseback riding hiking and walking! Bird watching is big around here as we are on a bird migratory path. We are just above Winchell Lake and less than 10 km from Water Valley Golf Course and Saloon. Please recognize that you are visiting a Ranch not a campsite. We are sharing our piece of heaven with you and you are helping to support our animals and their heaven. Chickens are "True" Free Range and hand fed every morning. Eggs are $10 a dozen to pay for their feed. :) Every spring the rain tends to cause ruts and washes out some of the road on the way to the back forty where the meadow is. We gather rocks on the property to fill the ditches but the early part of the year the roads can be bumpy. Please ask the conditions of the road when you book if you have concerns. Thanks!

Great, level parking site in driveway. Host had electric and water hookups conveniently close by. Ullu was at work when we arrived but came as soon as we called to have car moved that was parked in spot. Great location to visit Kootenay and Canal Flats.

Really unique and fun camping spot. We stayed in the forested portion of the property and it was quiet and well treed. It was fun driving through pastures and watching the cows feed in the evening. Laura was really friendly and accommodating with my 2 kids while they helped do some small chores and pet/played with the horses.

We had such a wonderful camping experience at Laura’s land! Laura was an amazing host—super welcoming, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The property was beautiful, peaceful, and well taken care of, which made our stay so enjoyable. It was clear that she really cares about making sure her guests feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or location and would definitely recommend camping here to anyone looking for a great outdoor getaway.

For the two nights my girlfriend and I stayed there, was very beautiful and the host was super friendly and made us feel very welcomed onto her ranch especially the friendly dogs roaming around haha, We came prepared with supplies but if someone were to forget anything she has lots of things (BBQ, water, toys, chairs, etc) that you could use if need be. The farm animals were really cute and even have some cows and horses that come to say hi once and a while, next time we stay I hope it will be for longer so we can explore more of the area and the ranch and go hang out by the lake! Will come again!!!

Speaking with Laura on the phone, you could almost hear she speaks, than needing her own person was fun from the get go, funny, kind, and full of energy! She helped us decide where to put our horse trailer for the best view, and made feel like family. She offered to show us the best trails and ride with us if we would like. As well. Offered to make a lunch and her beautiful home the very next day, from that day on we were pretty much riding together every day. We enjoyed meeting her granddaughter and friends as well. We had such a good time we Invited to our home anytime!

Our time at Laura’s ranch was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were wrapped in the warmth of her hospitality and the beauty of the land. Every detail—from the thoughtful setup to the stunning surroundings—was perfect. The animals were a joy to be around, each with their own sweet personality, and they added a special kind of peace and playfulness to our stay. Laura herself is a true gem—gracious, generous, and so full of heart. She’s created something truly special here, and it shows in every corner of the property. Whether we were sitting under the stars, walking the land, or just enjoying great company, every moment felt meaningful. We honestly couldn’t say enough wonderful things. It’s a place that fills you up and stays with you. We left already planning our return. Thank you, Laura, for everything—you and your ranch are pure magic.

What an incredible place! The host was fantastic, and despite the rain during my camping trip, I still had a great time. I can't wait to go back and fully enjoy all that this beautiful spot has to offer! One thing to note: the tent site is perched on a hill with an adventurous route, so get ready for some fun off-roading! I highly recommend this camping experience!

Beautiful views. It was like you had the whole mountain to yourself! There was a nice level gravel pad to park the camper. The road up and down to it was a little tricky with our size rig (34ft 5th wheel) but we made it ok. The only negative (which is beyond anyone's control) is that the mosquitos were REALLY bad. We heard this is an exceptionally bad year for them. Otherwise the place was lovely!

I love camping on Laura‘s land. We were set up in the corner next to the forest which was beautiful! Everyone was so friendly and I really liked the fact that I could take my dog and walk up on the property as far as I want it off leash and the views for spectacular will definitely be going back! Oh, and yes, the horseshoe tournament was a blast. Thanks again, Laura.😊
