The cabin is cute and was nice and warm. Friends were able to sleep in their tent outside and it was cozy. The bed in the lower area is extremely firm but the one upstairs is comfy.

Weekend Trip to Marigold Farm Cabin
If you need a quiet, peaceful place with a beautiful house, I highly recommend it. The owner is very welcoming. The house is clean, cozy, and warm. There is a stove you can light yourself. There is a fire pit outside. It was ready to use when we arrived.

We had a wonderful stay at Paradise on the Ridge! The views are incredible, the property is lovely and our hosts were very welcoming. Being able to let our dogs explore freely was the cherry on top that really made this a special stay. 5 stars!!

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.

Beautiful property with beautiful views! It’s hard to believe you’re only a few minutes from the city.
The sunsets by the fire are incredible!
I would recommend, because the property is south facing, that you may want to plan your spot based on how much sun you want.
Lots of cows, deer, pocket gophers, and ground squirrels to spot while you relax in the peace and quiet.

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.

Lovely, large and secluded spot overlooking the Bow River just minutes outside of Calgary city limits. We were treated to eye level views of hawks and eagles in action, pelicans closer to the water and amazing sunsets.

The meadow site was breathtaking! Long marked path heading to site. The perfect spot for a quiet, remote vacation. Laura was very helpful and accommodating. Beautiful horses and long horned cows. My family will definitely be back! 👩🏽🌾

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.

Amazingly quiet, but for low level industrial white noise. Excellent access to bike Bow River Trail, all while leaving your vehicle locked
behind camp gate. Felt safe enough for repeat stays. No hassles. Water and 30 amp a real plus!

The best camping in Bragg Creek Provincial Park, AB guide
Overview
About
While you can’t actually camp in Bragg Creek Provincial Park, we still think a stop is worth your while. Set on the edge of Kananaskis Country between Calgary, Canmore, and Banff National Park, this park is a gateway to the Canadian Rockies. Have a picnic by the Elbow River or take in mountain views from the park’s hiking and biking trails. With a slew of picnic tables, fire pits, and playfields, the park is a popular destination for families and groups. There’s also lots to see and do in the hamlet of Bragg Creek, a charming community that boasts a collection of unique stores and eateries. If you’re hoping to camp in the area, check out the Gooseberry Provincial Recreation Area or McLean Creek Provincial Recreation Area—both are just a short drive from Bragg Creek Provincial Park.
When to go
We love this place any time of the year (and it stays busy year-round), but the Rocky Mountain backcountry is especially magical after a fresh snowfall when visitors can embrace winter fun with campfires, fat biking, and snowshoeing. The parking lots are often packed on weekends and during summer, so you might have to park alongside the road to access trails and picnic sites.
Know before you go
- The nearby Gooseberry Campground in Gooseberry Provincial Recreation Area has first-come, first-served sites, which fill up early in the day starting in May until mid-September. Save the early morning hunt by booking a site at McLean Creek Campground.
- Bragg Creek is bear country. Don’t leave any food behind after your picnic and never burn scrap food in your fire pit—bears have an extremely good sense of smell.
