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!

Beautiful spot! Very close to the water, beautiful trails, and very peaceful. Drank my tea and watched birds and deer hang around me. Camped here in the fall, will for sure be back in the summer.

Weekend Trip to Badlands River View (Drumheller Valley)

Lovely location, just close enough to Drumheller and the museum but far enough for some unplugged fun. Very easy to communicate with the hosts and wonderful little set up!

Lovely place in an amazing location! The walking trails straight from the campsite are beautiful. The boat launch nearby is a nice place to sit and reflect as well. Great communication from the host.

Weekend Trip to Badlands River View (Drumheller Valley)

LOVED THIS! It was so private and beautiful. We had a fantastic, unplugged weekend in a gorgeous setting. At night the only sounds were the coyotes and the owls. I would totally book this spot again.

Weekend Trip to Creek's Edge

This place was beautiful, peaceful & amazing and so are the hosts! So accommodating and absolutely helpful! I was delayed and so they went out of their way to make sure I knew where to park without them there. They were in constant contact and made my stay perfect! Thank you again! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this campsite! The area is very private and surrounded by beautiful fall colors, it honestly feels like your own little getaway in nature. The place was clean, quiet, and relaxing, perfect for a peaceful weekend escape. The owners are wonderful people! They are responsive, and easy to communicate with. They made sure everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out, and we really appreciated how organized and welcoming they were. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cozy, private, and scenic spot to unwind!

An amazing private, quiet and clean hidden gem. Denika and her family were more than amazing and hospitable. The aspen tent is well equipped and very neat. I’m adding this spot to my favourite list and encouraging everyone to catch a break at this place.

Weekend Trip to Homegrown Campground & Cabins

It was a serene location, so close to the Lake. Nothing but the waves to be heard overnight! The host left us to our own devices, just the way I like it. I have nothing but great things to say about this location.

Great experience! Very helpful and kind. I really liked how they set up the toilet with a sink nearby, so convenient! The llama and the dog they have were absolutely lovely as well.

Weekend Trip to Aspen Grove

For the second time this year an amazing stay at the Hideaway, made even better by host Gordon who kindly left a propane fire pit for us to use during the fire ban, lots of wildlife to be seen and the vintage trucks and farm equipment are a great touch on the walking trails, and to top it off a private fishing spot with picturesque views at the rocky lockout trail, we will be back next year.

5 nights at Homegrown Campground & Cabins

Finding Garrett's little cabin for the 5 days my friend and I were there was wonderful. We underestimated how big the cabin actual is, which is on us, but still had a wonderful time. Poppy (my dog) LOVED the easy access to the water! Right down a path from the cabin. Very quiet and serene. Would definitely recommend and go back!
