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

98%
(84)
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.

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Camping at Garrett's site offers a peaceful retreat with access to scenic views and a serene lakefront, perfect for watching sunsets. The sites are well-spaced, providing a sense of privacy even when fully booked, and the wooden tent platforms are a nice touch. Many reviewers appreciated the friendly presence of Garrett's dogs, adding a homely feel to their stay. However, some noted minor issues with cleanliness and the lack of power at the plug, suggesting room for improvements in amenities.
