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!

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.

was a park like setting and the hosts treated us well unfortunately messages sent through Hipcamp to the hosts are not received so they have a difficult time knowing when you are arriving. Defiantly plan on a return visit

I had a great 2 nights here, it was very hot but there's a little trail down to the river where you have your own private spot! Beautiful area, quiet campsite and clean outhouse. Close to Drumheller for all the tourist attractions. Amazing sunsets at camp! We saw a deer, 2 bunnies, a squirrel and many birds. Host was very nice and hospitable. Definitely will return.

We loved our stay!!❤️
The camping place was massive and very clean, indeed many tent campers can fit or bigger trailers has tons of room.
It's included fire pit, picnic table, and deck. No water and garbage bin.
So bring your own water and please take your garbage away.
The washroom was cleanest washroom for an outhouse toilet, and we are avid campers saw many in our lives!!
Easy access to river, although the river is a bit too high to swim or access to it.
We saw chipmunk, baby rabbit, gopher, nut hatches, bats, many variety of birds!! This place is heaven for bird watchers!!!
Heard the song dogs ( coyotes and longhorn owl at night)
Highlite was watching the stars from the deck at night!
The host couple Michelle and Trace were very welcoming.
Extremly friendly and supportive!
Loved the tips where to hike and explore!! We are looking dates to visit again!!
Highly Recommended!!!

Beautiful property! We were greeted by Tracey, who showed us to our spot and shared some great recommendations for the area. He even gave us a fossil to take home for our son, which was such a thoughtful gesture.
The property itself is quiet and relaxing—the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Be sure to check out the nearby Orkney Viewpoint; it’s stunning!

Michelle and Trace's river side camp is nothing short of spectacular. Spacious, private, and comfortable with incredible views. Our hosts were very welcoming and shared great information about the area. Would love to stay again next time we're in Drumheller! Take the free Bleriot Ferry and drive along the other side of the river on your way out.

Peaceful escape to the country where you can pick fruit, watch bats, have a drink and lunch at the cafe, peruse the store, grab ice cream, participate in their brisket dinner, pizza night, or pancake breakfast. Or just walk around the property admiring the flowers, watching ground squirrels, woodpeckers, bluebirds, and golden finches. Staff of the orchard are friendly and owner Dave is knowledgeable and happy to share his wisdom. They book land on a few different apps so you may have neighbours but it’s still secluded.

We really enjoyed the lovely private space for our tent at this hipcamp.The platform was really a bonus as well. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. They graciously cleared the pathway to the river so we could access it. We did not enter the river as the heavy rains made it quite muddy when we were there. The outhouse was very clean. We really love listening to and enjoying beautiful song birds living in the area as well. Please note that this hipcamp has no access to potable/drinking water and the nearby recreation camp ground water pump was either dried up or turned off...anyways no water so bring your own. Also bring mosquito repellent as they can be a bit of a nuisance. Thank you hosts for providing us with a quiet and peaceful space.

Camping in the Badlands is such an amazing experience and Michelle's site really highlights it. The property was so beautiful and so secluded. It was the perfect weekend for our little group. We will definitely be coming back for a repeat weekend!

Beautiful, quiet, birds singing, bunnies hoping, amazing views and sunsets. What can we say, even in pouring rain we loved it. Great space that is private, a nice retreat, lovely hosts, clear directions, our dog roamed free, easy to get to local attractions in Drumheller. Thank you for an amazing stay!

The best camping near Drumheller with campfires guide
Where to go
Dinosaur Provincial Park
Dinosaur Provincial Park offers a unique camping experience to the south of Drumheller. Here, paleontology lovers hunt for traces of ancient history in one of the most fossil-dense areas on Earth, and photographers line up to take the sunset tour for the best views. Trek through the Badlands or wander the looming hoodoos (otherworldly rock formations) and twisting canyons where dinosaurs once roamed, then settle in for the night at a nearby Hipcamp.
Midland Provincial Park
In the Badlands of Drumheller is Midland Provincial Park, a renowned Canadian destination for mountain biking, fossil hunting, hiking, and geocaching—even if it is a day-use park only. If you’re interested in more recent history, take a short walk through the Midland Coal Mine Day Use Area to see 1970s mining artifacts. Then, wind down next to the fire pits at your rustic A-frame rental, enjoy some lakeside glamping to relax with modern comforts, or live every kid’s fantasy in a forest treehouse.
Hoodoos Trail
Through twisting, wild ravines on Hoodoos Trail, otherworldly sandstone pillars and other rock formations soar above an almost alien environment. Nearby, campers can find a small convenience store with washrooms, potable water, and other refreshments. Elsewhere in the area, enjoy a glamping stay at a family-owned farm, stay the night in a cozy cabin in the woods, or park at a serene RV site.
When to go
Drumheller, AB experiences cold winters (with an average high of 0°C), so the most popular times to visit are spring or summer.

Visit Drumheller in May or September to beat the crowds, avoid the hottest and coldest seasons, and best experience all the rugged beauty of these ancient lands.
