Homegrown Campground and Cabins is nestled on the north shore of Lesser Slave Lake and I offer cozy camping areas with private lakefront views of Dog Island. I currently have 4 camp sites, two of which have decks, and another site with one tiny cabin. Please read: The property is also a Bison farm and I have two dogs, Luna and Pyro, who are the campground security managers. They love people and other furry friends! Please note that this campground/farm are my dogs home, and they may wonder over at some point and say hello. Please do not feed them, and use good judgment if you are traveling with dogs of your own. Aggressive dogs will not be tolerated. If my dogs overstay their welcome, or if you simply aren't a dog person, please let me know and I can come retrieve them. Potable water is available, directions to it will be made available after checking in. Also, if any of the sites, garabge bin or outhouse needs attention, PLEASE let me know. I ask that you don't leave bags of garbage on the ground after checking out since birds, dogs, or bears will take that as an ivite to make a mess looking for a snack. I do have a full time job that prevents me from being around 100% of the time, so with your help, we can ensure a clean and safe campground for everyone to enjoy. There is a metal dumpster at the end of the road that can be used if needed. Points of interest nearby include: Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park, Devonshire Beach. 5-10 minutes away. You can't say you've been to Slave Lake with out saying you've been to Devonshire. Endless amounts of clean white "squeaky" sand and shallow waters perfect for summer beach days. You will never find a rock on the beach or in the water. The southern end of the park consists of sand ridges and blowout dunes, behind which are a series of marshes and wetlands. Marten Mountain View Point (Lily Lake Trail). 15 minutes away. By far the best view of the lake that you will ever get! At 1020 meters, Marten Mountain is the highest point of land for hundreds of square kilometers. From the Marten Mountain Viewpoint, you can take in a truly breathtaking view of Lesser Slave Lake and its forested slopes. The view point is also the trail head to get to Lily Lake, a medium difficulty 4 km round trip. The cozy lake is stocked with trout and is an excellent afternoon adventure. Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation. 5 minutes away. It is one of Canada's northernmost bird observatories and is one of the only boreal forest bird observatories in the world. Nice walking trails and a great information center with stunning architecture. Gilwood Golf Course. 2 minutes away. Neighboring the property is an 18 hole golf course with a clubhouse and restaurant. Activities nearby include fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, swimming, and so much more! Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted

Site 4 has a 12x12 deck built into the hill side and it also offeres the largest flat grassy area for camping. There is a relatively easy trail to get down the hill to the beach. I'd recommend this site if anyone is planning to have more than 2 tents and a gazebo. Firewood available for $10 a bundle.

Site 3 its nested in the trees and is a beautiful cozy spot. A small campervan would fit here, but this site is great for tenters, or it would be ideal for anyone who does hammock camping. The trail down to the lake is not too difficult and has rock steps for half of the trail. This site does not have a deck. Firewood available for $10 a bundle.

Little Cabin With A Big View

99%
(77)
Cabin · Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed
This little cabin can accommodate a queen-sized air mattress or two cots, but a double or twin is recommended for extra floor space. It’s like camping, but there is no need for a tent! The cabin is perched on top of the embankment offering great lake views and it is only a 30-second walk down the stone path to get to the beach. Firewood availbe for $10 a bundle. There is no power!! The cabin is wired for electricity and can be hooked up to a power box or generator if you have one. If you have a group, there is room to pitch tents as well for an additional $10/night per tent. (Select one additional guest in the menu per tent when booking). This site has tons of character and charm, and if you stay here, you will be glad to have discovered a hidden gem. Points of interest nearby include Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park. This is a landscape of contrasts. The southern end of the park consists of storm beaches, beach ridges and blowout dunes behind which are a series of marshes and wetlands. It is one of Canada's northernmost bird observatories and is one of the only boreal forest bird observatories in the world. Activities nearby include fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, swimming, and so much more! Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.

Site 3 is great for medium to large tent, nice and cozy spot in treed area, some view of the lake. Easy access to water and firewood, dolly available to bring bundles of wood. Garbage should be moved away from the campsite, it’s close to site 2 and 3. Otherwise, everything else is good.

Site 1
Site 1 is spacious and deep enough for multiple large tents, or a medium-large trailer and tent. All sites are well-spaced apart and nicely treed. There were 2 other sites occupied, but no one was on top of each other. Lots of wildlife and interesting plants, including ripe saskatoons and nettle (tasty, but watch the sting). The decks are outstanding, sturdy, roomy, and with great views of the water. Easily the best view I've ever had while cooking breakfast. Top deck is big enough to set up a 10x10 for rain shelter, and there are trees around for hammocks. Potty shed was a little stinky, but clean, comfortable, and had good quality toilet paper. Trail to beach was a bit steep as described, but my small kids and my 75 year old mom were able to navigate. It got a bit slippery after rain, though, so wear decent shoes. (Might benefit from a little gravel where the logs end.) Beach is rocky, not sandy, and had lots of driftwood and plant bits from higher water. We fished a bit and managed to catch a few small pike (around 18"). Be warned that the mosquitoes can be horrendous, especially after rain and at night. Bring the good bug spray. We didn't have a fire, but the fire pit was decent and wood bundle price reasonable. Potable water on site was good.

I loved tent camping in site two, it has a perfect clear patch of grass and I didn’t feel a twig or rock on my back all night. The view is amazing and it was awesome hearing the waves crash at night, very perfect white noise. The dogs are amazing, the cutest fur babies ever, they even came by our tent at 4:30 am and it was so cute, they spent so much time with us, and they definitely made the trip 200x better. Definitely recommend coming here, it’s a camping trip you won’t forget.

We just returned home from a few night's at Garrett's Home grown campsite. It was just the camping experience we were looking for. It was calm, private, and quiet with lovely views of the lake. It had many small details to add to a camper's comfort like the decks to sit on and very easy access to drinking water and firewood. We will go back!

Expensive for what it is. Little bit of sand but infested with ants. No beach, just rocks. Went with my son and we had to drive to Devonshire beach to get some swimming in. Not very kid friendly. Woken up early from barking dogs. The deck was nice. The privacy was nice. Wood available for $10 a small bundle so I just harvested some deadfall. Not sure if I would go again. Can experience the same thing for free if you go back country.

Finding Garrett's little cabin for the 5 days my friend and I were there was wonderful. We underestimated how big the cabin actual is, which is on us, but still had a wonderful time. Poppy (my dog) LOVED the easy access to the water! Right down a path from the cabin. Very quiet and serene. Would definitely recommend and go back!

Camping at Homegrown Campgrounds was a highlight this summer. My car battery was on the fritz and Garrett was super kind to help boost my car not once, but twice over the 4 nights I spent there. My dog and I really enjoyed the company of the camp hosts, Luna and Pyro the last night as well. I hope to come back again next summer.

I’d love to say this campground is awful to keep it from getting too popular, but that’d be greedy of me. It’s truly spectacular! With breathtaking views, a tranquil beach, and a quiet escape from the highway’s hustle and bustle, it’s a perfect retreat.

This was my 3rd time staying at Homegrown Campground, the 2nd time staying at site 2. While Site 2 does not have a deck, it is very large with ample room to set up camp and lots of privacy. The host is quick to reply if anything is needed (more tp for rest room for example) and our stay is always serene and comfortable.
