Weekend Trip to Nordic Cabin W/ Sauna & Hot Tub
This was just the getaway my partner and I were hoping for! Quiet and private, with incredible views of the stars and the prairies while surrounded by birch trees.
Even better than anticipated!

2 nights at Fairfolk Farm
We loved staying at Fairfolk Farm! The cabin was very cozy despite the dreary weather outside. The kitchen was perfect for the two of us, and we got some eggs, jam, and veg from Pinette to supplement the groceries we got.
It was just a short drive to Elk Island, so perfect for a hike. Definitely a highlight of the month, and we’d love to come back!

Beautiful, serene, quiet, very well maintained. We could see every star in the sky, and it is so close to Elk Island Park, it made sightseeing easy! A lot of coyotes at night - mind your pets and bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper - that was the only sound we heard. Would highly recommend this spot.

This place was beautiful, peaceful & amazing and so are the hosts! So accommodating and absolutely helpful! I was delayed and so they went out of their way to make sure I knew where to park without them there. They were in constant contact and made my stay perfect! Thank you again! Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this campsite! The area is very private and surrounded by beautiful fall colors, it honestly feels like your own little getaway in nature. The place was clean, quiet, and relaxing, perfect for a peaceful weekend escape.
The owners are wonderful people! They are responsive, and easy to communicate with. They made sure everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out, and we really appreciated how organized and welcoming they were.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cozy, private, and scenic spot to unwind!

Beautiful place, cute goats and welcoming owners. We were notified that the place was not ready for us yet, as we booked a place a bit too late. Making the host ( Rachel and her husband) worried that it will not be up to our standard. Matter of fact, it was beyond our expectations regardless. They provided us with a nice grill, water and a clean table, they even wanted to give us some fresh eggs! Hope to come visit soon again, as we were not able to thank you in person. Thank you very much!

Great Site and hosts! With only being a short drive from Edmonton, this is a hidden gem. Kara and Dan are quick to respond to inquiries and requests. The grounds are clean, well maintained, and vibrant. The water feature is aerated so the is no stagnant water smell. The wood totes are of a good size for the cost and come with some kindling. The wood was cut into good size pieces and dry! The farm fresh eggs were some of the best eggs I've had in a while with large yolks.
The campsites are well spaced out with some co-located for groups. There is obvious signs of improvement and tree planting which speaks to Kara and Dan's dedication to being great hosts.
I camped with a large group and a dog which needed 2 sites. Kara and Dan made great suggestions which improved our experience.
I look forward to booking next season.
Thank you, Kara and Dan!!!!

Just got back from staying at the most amazing cabin and I’m still in awe. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a little slice of paradise. The cabin was cozy yet spacious, with all the rustic charm you’d hope for but updated with the comforts that make you want to stay forever.

Beautiful campsite. Lots of room. Great host with fast replies. You can even purchase fire wood and eggs from them. There are other camp sites around but not too close. They have many different campsite layouts to choose from. It was a great experience. FYI site 7 & 8, you will need to book them together. Thank you!

We were pleasantly surprised by how lovely the cabin was. Kara and Dan was also very nice in letting us setup a surprise proposal for my sister. The place was peaceful and quiet. It was a perfect place to unwind. The stars were beautiful at night. Would also mention that I was kinda hesitant on using the porta potty but to my surprise it was very clean unlike other porta potties I've seen in other camping areas. It's a great place to go to when you want to have a getaway that's not too far from the city. Would definitely come back!

We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! The place is amazing, quiet, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Guillermo, their lovely dog, was a highlight of the trip. He gave us a little “tour” of the property and played happily with our dog, who was thrilled to run off-leash. Kerry is a fantastic host, always quick to answer our questions and make us feel welcome. We truly enjoyed our time here and are already planning our next visit this winter.

The best camping in Miquelon Lake Provincial Park, AB guide
Overview
About
Miquelon Lake Provincial Park provides year-round access to nature through its spacious campsites, sandy beach area, and a vast trail system. While campers love spending days exploring the hiking trails or playing basketball at the day-use area, we think Miquelon shines its brightest in the darkest hours of the night. Nestled in the Beaver Hills Dark Sky Preserve, here you can stay up watching stars and counting constellations. The sole Miquelon Lake Campground is large, offering private spacious sites suitable for tents and RVs. Looking for something more luxurious? The park has four comfort camping yurts available for rent.
Notable Camping Spots
- Best for glamping: The comfort camping yurts offer the beauty of the outdoors with the comforts of a bed.
- Best for winter camping: Miquelon Lake Campground is open year-round for camping, cross-country skiing, and skijoring (skiing with dogs!).
- Best for stargazers: On a clear night, take the fly off your tent and sleep under the Milky Way.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- With more than 270 serviced and unserviced sites, securing a campsite at Miquelon Lake Campground is usually a breeze. However, reservations are required from May through September.
- Winter camping is first-come, first-served, but no need to rush, as you won’t have competition for a prime site.
- The comfort camping yurts are a hot commodity, especially on holidays and weekends. Make your reservation as early as possible or keep an eye out for mid-week openings.
- Reservations for both the campground and the yurts can be made online, by phone, or in person at the park's Information Centre.
When to go
Miquelon Lake Campground might be Alberta’s best kept secret. No matter what time of year you visit, you likely won’t encounter big crowds. While summer and fall are lovely for a hike or a paddle across the lake, we can’t get enough of this park in winter. Enjoy skiing along the Miquelon Lake shoreline or wind through 20 kilometres of backcountry trails—there are trails suitable for all ski levels. Another bonus of winter camping: the stars come out super early!
Know before you go
- Swimming is not recommended at Miquelon Lake due to poor water conditions. Try bird watching along the lake instead.
- Miquelon Lake Camp has four wheelchair-accessible sites, three of which have power. There are also wheelchair-accessible shower buildings onsite.
- Winter campers must bring their own water. Water services, including flush toilets, are not available from early September until late April.
