Homegrown Campground & Cabins is nestled on the north shore of Alberta’s largest lake and we offer cozy camping areas with private lakefront views of Dog Island.  We currently have 3 different listings available, an onsite camper van, a tent/camper van site, and a tiny cabin. The property is also a Bison farm and tours are available. Currently, I am mothering an orphan calf, so a baby buffalo may wander over and say hello.  Adjoining the property, there is an 18 hole golf course and a bird observatory within walking distance. 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.

This is a one of a kind site for the Slave Lake area. The location cannot be beat. We did not camp but spent the afternoon until sunset having a cookout, exploring and relaxing on the deck overlooking the water.

Little Cabin With A Big View
Hidden gem with million dollar view
I loved our stay at Little cabin! This place is a hidden gem. Million dollar views, very private, quiet and free dog snuggles included. Cabin itself is small but well isolated so even mid September stay was comfortable. Communication with Garret was smooth, absolutely nothing to complain about. Definitely will try to come back next year.

Incredible View!
I loved "glamping" on Garrett's land in his "Little Cabin with a Big View"! The cabin is small but extremely well-made and really does have an incredible view. It really is a great spot to chill!

The camper van is a nice touch to a lovely little site. We loved sitting on the deck enjoying the lake views.

Absolutely stunning spot, the cabin is well insulated and cozy in the chilly evening. Waking up to the view of the lake was perfect! The host was welcoming and accommodating, and the host dogs made our morning (what cuties). It was convenient having the well maintained outhouse and lights along the main path, and down to the lake! Also felt very private with the wooden barriers between the sites.

An amazing find! One of my new favourite locations. Beautiful views, lots of space, and just steps away from the lake. I will definitely be back.

We absolutely loved staying in the little cabin. The camp site is so well set up, Garrett has done an amazing job with the property. His dogs would come and go as they pleased, they were the absolute sweetest, we loved having them come and visit. Would definitely recommend the campsite to anyone considering.

Last minute reservation with dogs
We stayed in site 3 and it was nice. The outhouse is right there so that’s a bit of a bummer. And that’s the only site that doesn’t currently have a deck. Our reservation was last minute and Garret had the camper set up before we arrived. His dogs are lovely and got along well with our dogs although they have to be watched around food. We enjoyed our stay and we will gladly be back.

Amazing beautiful spot to camp!!
Amazing!!’ 100 percent recommend Garrets place on the Hipcamp app. If you search homegrown campground slave lake he has 3 different listings. All of which are amazing! We rented site 1 and 4 which both have treehouse style decks over looking the lake! Waking up right beside the water is a dream come true!!! The waves crashing and birds singing!!! Being with my family! Can’t get much better than this. The spots are huge and clean. It’s off grid so no power, but I believe he has potable water available if needed. The host is very kind and quiet but will respond quickly to any questions. His two beautiful sweet dogs will pop by for a visit every now and then. We loved having them visit!! You can access the beach right from your sites, although it’s a little bit steep, but wow!!! So awesome your own private beach!! There is also a wonderful sandy beach about 10 minutes away. The lake is also sandy and quite shallow for a ways out. Great for all activities!!! We loved every minute of our time here and will return for sure. Washroom is one clean outhouse. I look forward to what’s in store next as he is continuing to work and make this place even better!!! A+in our books thank you Garrett!

The host is very nice and friendly that answered our questions about where is the entry. We didn’t find our table and the fire pit once we enter our site. After a phone call to the host, moved a table from a cabin site. For the fire pit, we came back from beach and found it in our site surprisingly. Overall, it’s a nice and quiet place if you want to have fun in the salve lake, but you may also find this place sometimes lack of management. (Misplace table and difficult finding fire pit). Also didn’t find portable water but I may misunderstood it.

Beautiful site and lovely stay!
We had a fantastic stay at Garrett's site. The van has the right amount of space for our need, we slept comfortably and our dog was very happy. We really appreciated the view and direct access to the beach. Our host was friendly and shared useful tips with us, and we are grateful that he offered an access to a tap water and a portable toilet. His dogs are very lovely too :) Thank you again for allowing us to stay!

Perfect spot to relax
What a wonderful spot! We were so impressed by the space, privacy, ease of check in & Garrett’s hospitality. This little cabin is perfect for a couple or pair looking for somewhere warm to rest their heads after a fire, walk on the beach or a hang in the hammock. We also absolutely adored Garrett’s sweet dogs. Such a great time - thanks again Garrett!

Serene lakeside site
We had a wonderful time at Garrett’s site. We booked the site with the single large deck, as it had more space for us. The site had a beautiful view of Lesser Slave Lake. The path down to the lake was steeper, longer, and more rugged than we expected - bring sandals/shoes with a little extra tread if you plan to trek down to the water. The lakeside was beautiful (worth the trek) and is even more breathtaking at sunset. I’d bring enough water for your trip; while there’s potable water, the tap is at the side of a cabin. The tap was handy, it just would have been easier if we’d brought an extra container. The site was quiet, peaceful, and just what we were looking for. Garrett was exceptionally responsive, answering all our questions very quickly. I would, and have already, recommended this spot to friends looking for a serene lakeside spot.

A Hidden Gem
Absolutely loved this place. Garrett was so accommodating and made sure we had the best site for our group. He even dropped off wood at our site so it was ready when we arrived. Everything is well taken care of, the campground was super peaceful, the view of the lake from our site was amazing and we loved having campfires on the beach every night. One of the best spots I've camped in Alberta for sure.

Awesome stay. We'll be back.
This stay was amazing. Our 5-year-old and 8-year-old slept in the cabin. My partner and I stayed in a tent. There were five or six or different options for that. We spent tons of time in the lake. The beachfront is not sandy. We just wore our sport sandals in the water. Most of the time, we were the only people down there. Besides swimming, we fished (caught three pike, kept one for supper), rode bikes on the Trans Canada Trail, picked berries up by Marten Beach and hung out with Rosie the baby bison and Luna, the dog. Garrett was accommodating and always available by text.

This is a fantastic place, the setting is beautiful and the hosts were very sweet. Felt almost magical with people walking by playing instruments and seeing Rosy the baby bison. We saw bald eagles and a small bear who thanks to Luna, scared it away. Luna looks like a Maremma Sheepdog, a gentleman giant.
