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 one tiny cabin. 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. 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 at its peak, take in a truly breathtaking view of Lesser Slave Lake and its forested slopes, ancient beach ridges, and shifting sand dunes. 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 - Lake Front Paradise

Though the bugs were thick they dissipated on the beach which was beautiful. Wish I hadn’t slept through the sun rise.

Site 2 - Lake Front Paradise

We had a nice weekend however it wasn’t for us being as you have to get in your vehicle and drive one way up the highway to go to the beach or go the other way to get to the lookout which really wasn’t worth going to being as there was nothing to see and the trail was full of flies. A good stop over camp but not our cup of tea

Little Cabin With A Big View

Great little spot. Easy lake access that’s your own. Outhouse is easy to find, we lucked out with only one other site booked so it was never busy or smelly. Tons of bugs, extra bug spray is highly recommended. Very little shade provided from the trees at the cabin site but a quick dip in the lake helped.

Site 1 - Lake Front Paradise

The Perfect Campsite

Great place to camp! The site was quiet and the location was amazing. I would gladly camp here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Garrett!

Site 3 - Lake Front Paradise

It is a nice camping site but it is not very well maintained. There was no toilet paper or hand sanitizer in the outhouse. There was no firewood provided which should have been indicated on the website. The garbages were overflowing and since it is in bear country it should have been picked up daily. There were solar lights that have long since lost their charge. Overall it was sad to see such a beautiful place without proper care and attention. It has potential to be much better.

Little Cabin With A Big View

Loved our stay

It’s a beautiful place, perfect for a couple. Lake is accessible for swimming or kayaking. However path to the lake is not maintained and full of bushes, so make sure to carry long pants and good boots. There is no electricity at the cabin and no lights, so please carry your own lights and chargers. There is only one compost toilet shared between 4 more camping sites adjacent to each other, so please carry your own tissue papers and sanitizer. The place is serene and our stay was lovely… we loved the area as well and maybe would love to go back some other time.
