This property was part of a large tree farm that was owned and operated by a well-respected and well-known family in the community. The family subdivided the land before selling the property. The beauty and serenity - and the variety of trees - still exists to this day. Learn more about this land:This cozy, private, and peaceful spot is shaded by mature spruce and pine next to a ravine leading down to a small creek and more than 3 kilometres of hiking/snowshoe trails that meander through the forest and along the creek. Frisbees and horseshoes are available for guests' use. Soak in the peaceful environment and relax in our hammocks or chairs. Two friendly dogs and two friendly cats live on the property and are sure to give you a warm welcome, just as their owners will. Less than 10 min away are lakes and environmental reserves for paddling and fishing, hiking and bicycling, and geocaching. Local amenities (shopping, recreation, banking, groceries) are less than a 10-minutes drive away. Although this property is located not far from major urban centres, with convenient access to major routes to and from Edmonton, Spruce Grove, and Stony Plain, you will feel miles from civilization, thanks to the abundance of trees, privacy and the serenity of the place. It's the best of both worlds! Rest and rejuvenate in your forested campsite without having to travel to the boonies to do so!We want to share our peaceful, serene, and beautiful property with those who can respect our pristine environment.

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.

We loved camping at the Secret Sanctuary! We brought our own glamping and got the breakfast delivered to your site as an add on. Absolutely delicious! The whole experience and vibe of this place is really something special. We were looking for a getaway close to the city that offered privacy (which is hard to find these days) and were not disappointed. We want to bring the whole family next time we come! The hot shower and compost toilets were great, the trails and nearby lakes were awesome for exploring, and Denika and her family were so friendly and helpful. 5 stars! Also make sure to check out the store for amazing salves, delicious teas, and cute pottery!

The weekend was wonderful. The glamping tent was beautiful and the bed was cozy warm. The morning breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed sitting around the campfire being visited by a llama! We walked the trails and hugged a tree. Great time. Thankyou you Denika and family.

Our recent stay at this campsite was truly fantastic — the warm hospitality, beautiful grounds, and attention to cleanliness made it special from start to finish. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, and we especially loved meeting their pets, who added an extra touch of comfort and fun to our visit. Being surrounded by nature’s calls—rustling trees, squirrels, and birds—made us feel completely at one with the outdoors. We can’t wait to return next summer and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a relaxing, pet-friendly getaway in nature!

Nice rustic little farmstead camping spot. The listing and recent review pictures didn't match what we experienced - we had a very rustic spot in the forest by a dilapidated shed/building - but we had a lovely evening regardless, made by Walter and Emma who were delightful company and we felt safe with them guarding the area! Firewood ready on arrival was great.
Thanks!

We loved camping on Katy and Jon’s property! Their lovely dogs Emma and Walter kept us company the whole weekend, and Katy and Jon were so accommodating! We really loved being just a short drive out of Edmonton but feeling like we were in the middle of nowhere. We’re definitely looking forward to our next trip out there and can’t recommend it enough.

The Secret Sanctuary was an absolutely amazing place to visit. We were in awe of the land and the accommodations the entire time we were there. Our "tent" was outfitted with beautiful furniture, including lovely flooring and accents. More than I ever could have imagined, even for "glamping". Everything inside and out was clean and organized.
The outside shower was next level, what a truly amazing experience. Compost toilets are genius and I LOVED that there was a hand washing station outside of the washrooms.
We got lucky enough to have their dogs around a fair amount, and even got to see the Llama.
There is a fully outfitted outdoor play area, with forts, and swings, and slides, a sand pit, trampoline, and climbing area. The kids never wanted to leave. Denika even let us play inside with her daughter after checking out her store at the main property.
The communication was great, getting add-ons such as firewood and a generator/power pack thing was a breeze.
It is clear that this family cares deeply about their property, their guests, and the land. We are very lucky to have had this experience and cannot wait to go back.

A huge thank you to Denika, Nic and Veona for their incredible hospitality and spirit. We stayed at Aspen glamping site - total magic. Secluded and special - tent was spacious and so comfortable. Add to that yummy breakfast and paddleboarding and you’ve got special memories that will never fade. All the other amenities were close at hand making the experience easy. We added yoga session with Sophia which was so fabulous. Not to mention their two dogs and sweet lama - Bowdie! He’s adorable. Thank you Secret Sanctuary for the lovely experience. We will be back.

Very nice spot for farm style camping. Host and family are very kind and non-intrusive. Happy to tell you about the farm and animals. Animals are all very nice, kids had a wonderful time seeing the farm animals, learning about them from the hosts children and interacting with them.
Would HIGHLY recommend this place for a young child's first camping trip, as the farm animals and paths around them offer plenty of excitement.
There are multiple camp spots, so if you wanted more privacy I am sure the hosts could accommodate that too.
Am sure we will be back next year.

Our family of 5 (kids 8, 6 and 5 years old) had the most amazing glamping experience! The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The entire property was so clean and well-organized, which made for a stress-free stay.
What truly made this trip unforgettable was the abundance of kid-friendly activities. Our children absolutely loved feeding the pigs and visiting the chicken pen and the llama. The trampoline and two fantastic play structures kept them entertained for hours, and the ropes courses were a huge hit. There was so much to do that we never heard a single 'I'm bored!'
We are already talking about our next visit. We will definitely be back!
