68km from Beauvais Lake Provincial Park · 4 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Fernie, BC
Wakita encompasses 25 acres of diverse wilderness and clearings. The land was developed in the 70's as an education, arts and health retreat and that history influences its atmosphere today. A small mountain creek meanders past gardens, berry patches, rustic cabins and a stage. The land is peppered with Ancient burned out cedar trunks that stand as a testament to the wildfire that razed the valley and the town of Fernie in the early 1900's. If guests are interested in a tour we will show you our favorites! Since Wakita borders on the wilderness of BC, we ask that our guests exercise common sense when it comes to food and fires. Upon arrival, we will provide information on the use of woodstoves, firepits, composting outhouses (for a-frame and campsites), etc. Wakita is a 15 min drive from all of the amenities and adventure available in beautiful Fernie, BC. Explore further up our road and you will find the trailheads for popular hikes to Mount Hosmer, the Three Sisters and Heiko's trail. Our Hipcamp accommodations consist of our glamping a-frame, an unserviced RV/tenting site and a fully serviced cabin. We look forward to being a part of your Fernie adventure!

66km from Beauvais Lake Provincial Park · 1 site · Tent · Fernie, BC
Welcome to Thistle Dew! We are located 10 minutes south of stunning Fernie, British Columbia. We are located about 15 minutes from Hiway 3. Thistle Dew is tucked into the mountains and faces the Lizard range at Fernie Alpine Resort. The campsite is surrounded by beautiful trees, which makes our single tent site feel very tucked away and private. While the sun is shining, hop on your bike or put on your hikers, step out of your tent and you are on the Elk Valley Trail section of the Trans Canada Trail. Or head to the river and cool off. At night, have a fire, lean back and look at the stars. There are very few lights in our neighborhood so the star show is next level. If the timing is right you might even catch The Northern Lights! 4x4 or AWD vehicle needed to access Thistle Dew, the driveway is steep with loose gravel. Thistle Dew is best suited to the self contained tent or Van campers. There is no water or power available. Campfires are permitted when there is no fire ban. Firewood is available for purchase - add as an extra at time of booking. Firewood will be at campsite when you arrive.

Our property is located in the peaceful ranching hamlet of Twin Butte (28km south of Pincher Creek). We are only 1km away from the legendary Twin Butte General Store/Mexican Restaurant which features great food, ice cream, and live music. Drive 20 minutes south and you'll be in the spectacular Waterton Lakes National park where you can find great hiking, biking, paddling, fishing, and amazing wildlife viewing. Drive 20 minutes north and west and you'll be in the beautiful front ranges of Castle Wildland Provincial Park, which also offers excellent hiking and fishing opportunities. If you venture a little further (about an hour), you'll have access to all of the opportunities the rest of the Castle Provinical Park or Crowsnest Pass has to offer, with many recreational activities available. No dogs or other pets are allowed on the property as we have our own pets and our neighbors have livestock.

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!

This was so lovely! The tents are clean and tidy, and very cozy and warm. The bed and bedding were toasty and comfy. The land was beautiful and the small creek was so refreshing. The outhouse was very tidy and nicely organized, but a bit smellier: it was right after a long weekend, so no surprises after lots of use! It can be a bit tricky to find in the dark and there’s no GPS, so be sure to read the detailed directions very closely BEFORE you lose service, unlike me 😅 Overall, a lovely little getaway space, peaceful and remote, but close to town for needs, and just a quick drive to Waterton. I also found the host very helpful and responsive which ruled :)

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.

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!

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.

The best camping in Beauvais Lake Provincial Park, AB guide

Overview

About

Nestled in the heart of Alberta's Rocky Mountain Montane, Beauvais Lake Provincial Park beckons adventurers with its pristine lake, abundant wildlife, and myriad of outdoor activities. Whether you're gliding across the water in a kayak, reeling in trout, or exploring over 18 kilometres of hiking trails, the park offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. With opportunities for bird watching and biking, every visit promises a new discovery.

When to go

The best time to visit Beauvais Lake Provincial Park is during the summer months when the park is alive with activities and the weather is ideal for camping and hiking. Winter offers a serene, snowy landscape for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, but be prepared for colder temperatures. Avoid spring runoff periods when trails may be waterlogged.

Know before you go

  • Review safety tips before participating in activities like hiking or boating to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience.
  • Be mindful of seasonal closures, especially to protect sensitive bird species during nesting periods.
  • Accessibility is a priority, but check ahead for any specific needs or accommodations.
  • Remember, the park is a haven for wildlife; maintain a safe distance and do not disturb the natural habitat.
  • Facilities such as the boat launch near the campground enhance your visit, but always respect the park's rules and regulations.
