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 on the south slope of a hill, our property boasts breathtaking views of Woodlands County. We're fortunate to offer 40 acres of working farmland and 80 acres of forest for you to explore. The forest is crisscrossed by several creeks, with underground springs occasionally bubbling to the surface. You'll have plenty of opportunities to forage for wild raspberries, bunchberries, and other nature's delicacies.
Keep your eyes and ears open to catch glimpses of the area's diverse wildlife, including deer, grouse, owls, moose, and more. Surrounding the property are working farms, adding to the authentic rural ambiance. You might hear cows grazing in the morning and evening, or farm dogs barking from a distance, but we believe that's part of the charm of the area.
One of the best things about our property is that there is no cell reception, allowing you to fully disconnect from the hustle and bustle of city life and appreciate the tranquillity of rural Alberta.

Arriving on this land, I felt a sense of peace roll through me. My girlfriends and I stayed in the Tipi. It was magical. The grounds are immaculately kept. We were very spoiled with the washroom facilities as well as the outdoor kitchen. The beds were extremely comfortable with soft linen and warm blankets. The host did not miss any details to help us feel comfortable and met all of our amenity needs. The sunrise and sunsets were beautifully held on the horizon. Nature was all around us, including the cows and beautiful majestic white bull. All of the gardens and flower beds held details and surprises. Dragonflies were everywhere!
A short distance away, we visited Chip Lake. Here we were able to have a drumming ceremony as well as enjoy some paddle boarding. The water was not conducive to us swimming in it, as it is shallow and appears to have a vast ecosystem. We did travel 30 minutes up the highway to the Pambina river and enjoyed a refreshing cool off.
I would highly recommend visiting this site. I have full intentions of gathering my whole tribe of friends for a full weekend next year.

An Incredible Stay – Everything Was Perfect!
We had an absolutely amazing experience at Go Hard Camping Site! The site is very new, and you can truly feel the care and attention that has gone into every detail. From the spotless facilities to the thoughtful layout and peaceful surroundings, everything was perfect.
What truly made our stay exceptional was Samatha, the host. She is hands down the best host we’ve ever encountered—warm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure every guest feels welcome and comfortable. Her personal touch elevated the entire experience.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, well-maintained, and relaxing place to camp with top-notch hospitality, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!

Where to go
Parkland County
To the east of Edson is Parkland County and Pembina River Provincial Park. The public campground there has both serviced and unserviced sites, with access to the river for fishing and tubing. There are also tiny homes, glamping and private Hipcamp sites to pitch your tent scattered throughout the county.
Hinton Region
Following the Yellowhead Highway west for a little less than an hour brings you to the doorstep of the Rocky Mountains and the town of Hinton. It’s a great spot for mountain bikers and rock climbers, plus there are nice trails for horseback riding, all-terrain vehicles, and hiking. Stay in a cozy log cabin, bring your RV, or find a spot to tent in the foothills.
Jasper National Park
Jasper is a popular year round destination. It has several campgrounds with varying degrees of service. Whistlers Campground is by far the largest, at 781 sites. From there it goes all the way to rustic backcountry where you can hike in and chances of even hearing other campers are low. Over the summer months reservations are booked months in advance and first come first serve sites fill up quickly.
When to go
Summers in Edson are the best time to visit. Campgrounds are generally closed in the winter (end of September until mid-May.) Combine the high elevation of Edson with its northern latitude and you get cold winters with lots of snow. That’s good news for snowshoers and Nordic skiers, but if you are looking to camp, you are better off to keep to May through September, and even then, be prepared for evenings that may be chilly.
