With amazing views of the Rocky Mountains, this west facing spot allows for some beautiful sunsets. Sightings of deer and moose are very typical along with many birds including hawks, eagles and even a chance to see some sand hill cranes. Just up the hill is the Pine Ridge lookout which provide views towards Waterton Park and the legendary Chief Mountain.Learn more about this land:This camping spot has amazing mountain views about 15 minutes from Waterton Lakes National Park.  The prairies of Alberta meet the peaks of the Rocky Mountains in Waterton Lakes National Park. Clear lakes, thundering waterfalls, rainbow-coloured streams, colourful rocks and mountain vistas await hikers and sightseers. With an exceptional diversity of wildlife and wildflowers and a cozy little waterfront town to serve as a home base, Waterton packs a big natural punch into a relatively small and accessible area.Currently, this is a simple, basic spot to camp and enjoy the views.There are plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife (moose, deer, birds). No amenities as of now, but we are looking to add more soon.  Due to fire restrictions currently in place, only propane-type devices can be used at this time.Pets are welcome.

Weekend Trip to Blue Rein Ranch

We loved our stay at Blue Rein! Had lots of space to ourselves and it was very peaceful aside from the occasional moos or neighs from the nearby animals. This is the perfect place if you’re an animal lover as you’ll be greeted by dogs, cows, horses, pigs, and chickens. There’s also a great communal building with washrooms, a kitchen sink , and some fun things like a speaker and pool table. Would absolutely stay here again!

Second time at Corey’s place. Who needs the calm app when you can camp here ! Tucked in a beautiful meadow down by a creek, a little piece of nature, waiting for you. Thank you Corey for this great spot to spend some downtime at. We will be back again !

I camped with a bunch of friends at Rene’s property and it was one of the best experiences we have ever had. He was very kind and prompt. His dog, Jacks was very calm and quiet, and we had a good time with him.The ranch is also home to chickens and horses, so if you’re someone who likes animals you will definitely enjoy the vibe. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us and we would definitely go back soon.

We had a great time camping here—everything is spread out, quiet, and casual, right beside a beautiful creek. The big firepit right by the creek was perfect for our group. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Campground

A gorgeous location and everything was as described - would highly recommend! Perhaps a sign outside the property might be helpful to reassure guests that they're not just driving onto someone's land without permission! Also very hands-off - no communication from the host before, during or after the stay. But perfect for what we needed, which was a tent site, fire pit and outhouse washroom!

Weekend Trip to ML Arena at Spring Point

We had such a wonderful stay at Cathy and Todd’s place through Hipcamp. Cathy was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she even offered us great suggestions for local hikes and activities. Todd was also very friendly and helpful. Their property is beautiful, with a well-kept grassy area that’s perfect for camping, and being around the horses made the experience even more special. Everything felt comfortable, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up. We truly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable camping experience.

This was an amazing little ranch and the perfect place to set up a tent. The dogs were so kind and playful, and Wrangler stayed up to look over us as we had our fire. He was a very good boy, and this was a very good campsite!

It was so nice and peaceful, super quiet aside from the cows and the odd wild animals off in the distance. It was my first time camping ever and it was so much fun, the views were incredible and the property is beautiful and well kept. It was hot and sunny during the daytime and got pretty chilly overnight but with the blankets and sleeping bags we had it wasn’t cold at all. Thank you so much Scott! We would definitely come back to enjoy this spot again. :)

Use two families loved this spot! Its great for a big group! We loved the back woods, private feel. The creek is amazing to sit in on the sunny days, so close you can hear the stream from our campers! We bought fire wood and there was lots there which was so handy. The porta-potty was kept clean as well! It was great to how power hook ups and pottable water. We had two big trailers (toyhaulers), which were a little sketchy to drive in on the dirt road because its so narrow, windy and downhill but it is definitely doable just something to keep in mind. No service in the site but you can drive 5min back down the road to get some and you can also purchase wifi. Overall a great site for 5 days to relax and be with nature! We had so much fun and would definitely come back!

Both of us had big trailers (toy-haulers) it was a bit sketchy to get in on the dirt road but we made it in! No service but can drive 5min back down the road to get some or you can buy wifi! There are also 2 private fire pits along with the communal one and you can buy a bundle of firewood for $10 and there’s lots there! The port-a-potty was clean! All around loved our time there, very relaxing and fun 5 days!

We had a wonderful stay! The camp is a pasture. Lots of space to spread out and be comfortable. It was windy while we were there which was perfect because it kept and flies and mosquitos that may have been around away. We had a tent and class C RV and had no problem parking.

Tenting with Blue Rein was amazing! The property is beautiful, with accessible amenities and super quick access to Fort Macleod. All of the animals were super friendly and the dogs made the property feel much safer, especially for a solo traveller. Highly recommend doing the ranch tour.

We enjoyed our stay at Scott's land! The area is a mowed section next to pastures (currently with cows heading) looking out toward the mountains. Nothing fancy but quiet, private, and a short drive to Waterton! We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Waterton National parks was awesome! Red Rock Canyon and Crypt Lake Trail were beautiful and so fun, albeit fairly busy. Definitely worth the time and money and sore muscles.
