The host was very nice and friendly, and the campsites were private and tucked right into the outdoors. Perfect spot for a peaceful stay!

We booked this cabin through HipCamp and were left with rather mixed impressions. The cabin itself is very cozy, styled like a hunting lodge, with a true “retro” atmosphere. Inside everything is simple but tasteful — it really feels like a little corner of nature where you can disconnect from everyday life. We genuinely enjoyed this authenticity and sense of peace.
Unfortunately, at the very end of our stay, a situation occurred that spoiled the overall impression. As we were getting ready to leave, the hosts let out their large dog. The animal behaved quite aggressively, which felt unsafe — especially since we had our 4-month-old baby with us. We really appreciated the atmosphere of this place, but it would be important for the hosts to consider this issue with pets, as guest safety matters a lot.
Overall, the place has great potential for a wonderful stay, and we sincerely hope this aspect will be addressed.

It was such a beautiful spot. We tented it for one night by the river. Everything was pretty wet but we thought it was worth it for the view and sounds of the river. We had our dogs with us who loved being able to play in the water. Just such a perfect place. We wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely coming back for our river spot again if we can.

I love this campground 10/10 would recommend. I will admit that I was nervous to pick this spot after reading some of the reviews, however we needed a spot for the long weekend that was close to the city since I was hosting a nature ceremony so we needed somewhere that could accommodate lots of guests not too far. They have quite a lot of land out there with lots of cool things to explore. The moment we drove in we seen horses and bison! 🦬 (In a pen now, they no longer just wander) These man at the check in trailer was very friendly and gave us lots of wood for good price. There was lots of interesting sights on the property, a modified bus, some farm equipment and playground structures and what looked like an indigenous market area, I suppose to some it might look like junk however we all thought it was cool. They have several different sections-a glamping area with domes, some tipis, trailer area and tenting area. This is a perfect spot if you are coming with a large group. Access to the river (perfect for hot summer days, thank god cuz it was so hot when we were there) And this place is close enough to Bragg Creek you can run to town if u need anything and you will still get cell service here. 👌 And the outhouses weren't to bad when we went.

4 nights at Rustic Riverside Camping
We absolutely loved our stay! The bed is so comfortable, they provided extra blankets and towels. The entire campsite had everything you needed from a stove, lighters, water, a shower, etc. The owner went above and beyond when we had some things taken but everything was promptly returned. It’s secluded and quiet and absolutely beautiful!

Really unique and fun camping spot. We stayed in the forested portion of the property and it was quiet and well treed. It was fun driving through pastures and watching the cows feed in the evening. Laura was really friendly and accommodating with my 2 kids while they helped do some small chores and pet/played with the horses.

We had such a wonderful camping experience at Laura’s land! Laura was an amazing host—super welcoming, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. The property was beautiful, peaceful, and well taken care of, which made our stay so enjoyable. It was clear that she really cares about making sure her guests feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or location and would definitely recommend camping here to anyone looking for a great outdoor getaway.

We had a great time Glamping here with our two little boys! It was the perfect way to camp in comfort (and warmth) with them. The cabins/tents and bathrooms were clean and well maintained. There was access to running water (non-potable) for dishes. The sauna was brand new and a definite touch of luxury. The staff were so friendly and approachable.

For the two nights my girlfriend and I stayed there, was very beautiful and the host was super friendly and made us feel very welcomed onto her ranch especially the friendly dogs roaming around haha, We came prepared with supplies but if someone were to forget anything she has lots of things (BBQ, water, toys, chairs, etc) that you could use if need be. The farm animals were really cute and even have some cows and horses that come to say hi once and a while, next time we stay I hope it will be for longer so we can explore more of the area and the ranch and go hang out by the lake! Will come again!!!

Speaking with Laura on the phone, you could almost hear she speaks, than needing her own person was fun from the get go, funny, kind, and full of energy! She helped us decide where to put our horse trailer for the best view, and made feel like family. She offered to show us the best trails and ride with us if we would like. As well. Offered to make a lunch and her beautiful home the very next day, from that day on we were pretty much riding together every day. We enjoyed meeting her granddaughter and friends as well. We had such a good time we Invited to our home anytime!

Weekend Trip to Rough Diamond Ranch Alberta
I highly recommend Laura’s ranch! If you’re looking for an authentic Alberta getaway in a beautifully pristine setting, surrounded by friendly animals, an amazing host & other helpful folks, then Laura’s place is the rare gem you’re looking for. She made sure we were well set up & taken care of for the weekend. We just left & are already planning a return for another girls weekend!

Our time at Laura’s ranch was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were wrapped in the warmth of her hospitality and the beauty of the land. Every detail—from the thoughtful setup to the stunning surroundings—was perfect. The animals were a joy to be around, each with their own sweet personality, and they added a special kind of peace and playfulness to our stay.
Laura herself is a true gem—gracious, generous, and so full of heart. She’s created something truly special here, and it shows in every corner of the property. Whether we were sitting under the stars, walking the land, or just enjoying great company, every moment felt meaningful.
We honestly couldn’t say enough wonderful things. It’s a place that fills you up and stays with you. We left already planning our return. Thank you, Laura, for everything—you and your ranch are pure magic.
