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 and cats 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 and the cats 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!

Collin’s Wood is a very special place indeed. The land was bought by my grandfather years ago when he moved to Canada from England and wanted to chase his log cabin dream. Our main cabin my family built from trees on the land, entirely by hand. We have photos of the trees being cut and the bark being peeled off. Since then, we’ve made many changes out there, we now have a guest cabin that used to be a Teacheridge (back when teachers would live in a one room building beside the school), eventually it was turned into a cafe and now it sits on our land as a guest cabin. This place is so magical. With a quarter section of land I grew up running through the forest with my friends and learning about what the land has to offer. My parents have spent every spare weekend out there making this paradise into what it is today. All the buildings were created by my family through labour and love. We’ve hosted weddings, and family reunions. We hope you appreciate how special this place is. Come see for yourself!

Edson, AB · 20 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Go Hard Ranch is a place where the world slows down and the land does the talking. Once the Rehn family’s homestead, its history still lives in the old wash house, the cook house, and the trails shaped by generations who worked this ground with their hands and hearts. Today, the ranch carries that legacy forward while welcoming new stories beneath wide Alberta skies. Set above the quiet sweep of Chip Lake, wild, open, and often forgotten, the ranch feels remote yet sits just minutes off the Yellowhead. It’s close enough for an easy escape, far enough that the noise of life falls away the moment your boots hit the dirt. Authentic hand‑painted tipis, cozy cabins, and a historic log homestead cabin offer stays that feel rooted and real. Each space invites you to slow down: watch the horses graze, wander the trails, breathe in the stillness, and let the wind and birdsong set the pace. Wildlife moves freely here, and sunrise over the lake is worth waking early for. Evenings settle softly around the fire, and nights stretch wide with stars. Whether you’re gathering with friends, sharing a quiet moment with someone you love, or exploring with family, the ranch becomes whatever you need, adventure, peace, or a place to simply be. Go Hard Ranch is rugged, warm, and unforgettable. A place where history hums through the timber, where the sky feels endless, and where every stay leaves a little dust on your boots and a lot of calm in your bones.

Nestled into a Valley alongside a winding riverbed, our campsite offers guests a peaceful stay in nature. With a secret beach only a short walk away, guests will be able to have fun floating on the river on hot days or simply enjoy the breathtaking views through the stunning forest leading up to the shore. Our highland cows can also be seen grazing in the pastures nearby! There are ample walking trails with scenic views all over the property- we invite you to explore. Our 160-acre regenerative agriculture family farm came to be in May of 2021. After previously homesteading on a humble 1-acre property our family had dreams of owning more land where we could establish a farm to call home for many years to come and farm in ways that would be sustainable for generations to follow. Upon first look, the heart and soul that the original owners poured into this property shone like the sun glaring on the water of the river. We knew this was the perfect place to call home for our growing family, and a place so beautiful we could not wait to share it with others.

Rocky Wolf Ranch is an active sled dog farm located in the quiet rural area south of Rocky Mountain House. Surrounded by forest, meadows, and wide-open skies, it offers nature, tranquility, and plenty of space to breathe. Prairie Creek flows directly along the ranch. Depending on water levels, guests can swim, relax by the shore, or fish with a valid Alberta fishing permit. Canoeing is also possible under suitable conditions. Hiking trails begin right on the property and lead through wooded areas and open clearings. Wildlife is naturally part of the surroundings. With a bit of luck, you may spot deer, elk, coyotes, beavers, wild geese, and occasionally even a puma in the distance. The ranch is not a resort but a genuine piece of nature—authentic and untouched. Our sled dogs live here at Rocky Wolf Ranch. Guided sled dog experiences can be booked in both summer and winter. Guests learn about the history, breeding, training, and daily life of these remarkable dogs. In winter, dog sledding programs are offered depending on snow conditions. In summer, kennel visits, informative experiences, or hikes with the dogs are available. In addition, we offer archery and simple outdoor activities for families. Children especially enjoy small discovery adventures through the forest, searching for animal tracks, or having a picnic in an idyllic clearing. If you are looking for luxury and urban comfort, this is not the place for you. If you appreciate nature, animals, fresh air, and an authentic ranch atmosphere, you will feel at home here.

Go Hard Ranch is a place where the world slows down and the land does the talking. Once the Rehn family’s homestead, its history still lives in the old wash house, the cook house, and the trails shaped by generations who worked this ground with their hands and hearts. Today, the ranch carries that legacy forward while welcoming new stories beneath wide Alberta skies. Set above the quiet sweep of Chip Lake, wild, open, and often forgotten, the ranch feels remote yet sits just minutes off the Yellowhead. It’s close enough for an easy escape, far enough that the noise of life falls away the moment your boots hit the dirt. Authentic hand‑painted tipis, cozy cabins, and a historic log homestead cabin offer stays that feel rooted and real. Each space invites you to slow down: watch the horses graze, wander the trails, breathe in the stillness, and let the wind and birdsong set the pace. Wildlife moves freely here, and sunrise over the lake is worth waking early for. Evenings settle softly around the fire, and nights stretch wide with stars. Whether you’re gathering with friends, sharing a quiet moment with someone you love, or exploring with family, the ranch becomes whatever you need, adventure, peace, or a place to simply be. Go Hard Ranch is rugged, warm, and unforgettable. A place where history hums through the timber, where the sky feels endless, and where every stay leaves a little dust on your boots and a lot of calm in your bones.

Nestled into a Valley alongside a winding riverbed, our campsite offers guests a peaceful stay in nature. With a secret beach only a short walk away, guests will be able to have fun floating on the river on hot days or simply enjoy the breathtaking views through the stunning forest leading up to the shore. Our highland cows can also be seen grazing in the pastures nearby! There are ample walking trails with scenic views all over the property- we invite you to explore. Our 160-acre regenerative agriculture family farm came to be in May of 2021. After previously homesteading on a humble 1-acre property our family had dreams of owning more land where we could establish a farm to call home for many years to come and farm in ways that would be sustainable for generations to follow. Upon first look, the heart and soul that the original owners poured into this property shone like the sun glaring on the water of the river. We knew this was the perfect place to call home for our growing family, and a place so beautiful we could not wait to share it with others.

Rocky Wolf Ranch is an active sled dog farm located in the quiet rural area south of Rocky Mountain House. Surrounded by forest, meadows, and wide-open skies, it offers nature, tranquility, and plenty of space to breathe. Prairie Creek flows directly along the ranch. Depending on water levels, guests can swim, relax by the shore, or fish with a valid Alberta fishing permit. Canoeing is also possible under suitable conditions. Hiking trails begin right on the property and lead through wooded areas and open clearings. Wildlife is naturally part of the surroundings. With a bit of luck, you may spot deer, elk, coyotes, beavers, wild geese, and occasionally even a puma in the distance. The ranch is not a resort but a genuine piece of nature—authentic and untouched. Our sled dogs live here at Rocky Wolf Ranch. Guided sled dog experiences can be booked in both summer and winter. Guests learn about the history, breeding, training, and daily life of these remarkable dogs. In winter, dog sledding programs are offered depending on snow conditions. In summer, kennel visits, informative experiences, or hikes with the dogs are available. In addition, we offer archery and simple outdoor activities for families. Children especially enjoy small discovery adventures through the forest, searching for animal tracks, or having a picnic in an idyllic clearing. If you are looking for luxury and urban comfort, this is not the place for you. If you appreciate nature, animals, fresh air, and an authentic ranch atmosphere, you will feel at home here.
