Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.
We are a working cattle ranch, about a 10 minute drive on a gravel road off of HiWay #1. You’re surrounded by wildlife and outdoor activities just as you step out of the door. We offer lots of privacy. Each site has its own road off the main road so no one else will be driving past your camp. During most of your stay, you will think there’s no one on the ranch but you! We’re close to a golf course, about 40 minutes to Canmore, one hour to Banff, and 40 minutes to Downtown Calgary. Perfect for day trips for activities other than camping. Our cows are tame and curious, but not house pets - just be aware. Our sites are not fenced from the cows, so you will have all the sights, smells, and sounds that are associated with cows if they come to visit you. If they bug you too much, message me and I will come over to move them out. I also have a shovel at each site to help clean up cow deposits! We are not a commercial nor Parks campground, nor do we strive to be. If you are looking for site with garbage service, running water, etc., you won’t find it here. If you are looking for an off-grid site with a few niceties, tons of privacy, off leash for your pups, and free firewood, you will be happy staying at our ranch!

The Google map directions took me straight to the gate. It was nice having water waiting for me. I enjoyed being around the cattle and they enjoyed drooling on my truck.If you are nit used to being around cattle they are very curious but friendly

What a hidden gem! The lake was absolutely beautiful and secluded, and the site was quite open and spacious. Will definitely come again.

Great pitch.
My family and I loved camping here. We actually visited twice as the kids enjoyed our first stay so much! You have the pitch to yourself so very quiet and private. Lovely walk to the lake if you wish to do so. Friendly cows came to visit! Firepit with wood provided. Host is very welcoming and helpful.
