Nestled into a Valley alongside a winding riverbed, our campsite offers guests a peaceful stay in nature. With a secret beach only a short walk away, guests will be able to have fun floating on the river on hot days or simply enjoy the breathtaking views through the stunning forest leading up to the shore. Our highland cows can also be seen grazing in the pastures nearby! There are ample walking trails with scenic views all over the property- we invite you to explore. Our 160-acre regenerative agriculture family farm came to be in May of 2021. After previously homesteading on a humble 1-acre property our family had dreams of owning more land where we could establish a farm to call home for many years to come and farm in ways that would be sustainable for generations to follow. Upon first look, the heart and soul that the original owners poured into this property shone like the sun glaring on the water of the river. We knew this was the perfect place to call home for our growing family, and a place so beautiful we could not wait to share it with others.

My boyfriend and I had a very last minute booking but Barb was very kind and accommodating. We were lucky enough to have the whole space to ourselves well except for Barb’s dog, Fox, who is just the most affectionate and behaved companion out there. I would recommend booking the sauna it was very relaxing and for 2hrs it is quite worth the price, Barb even offered to let us shower in her house after if we wanted. The beds were very comfortable and provided plenty of warmth during the night. Overall it is a great site to book with lots of field and plenty of things to do.

Pigeon Lake Provincial Park camping guide

Overview

About

Just outside Edmonton, Pigeon Lake Provincial Park is an easy and accessible retreat for the whole family any time of year. In summer, explore the lake by boat or SUP board while fishing for northern pike. After a float, sunbathe on the beach or start a game of horseshoes. As the afternoon gives way to evening, get cozy around a fire and enjoy a lakeside sunset like no other. In winter, work up a sweat cross-country skiing or embrace the low temperatures and go ice fishing. Explore the park’s shoreline and forest through its network of trails, or monkey around on the playground. The park’s two campgrounds offer spacious sites for tents and RVs. Comfort camping is also available—sleep cozy in an insulated yurt with all the luxuries of home.

Notable campgrounds

Best for creature comforts: There are eight comfort camping yurts available for rent at Pigeon Lake Provincial Park.
Best for lakeside hikes: Pigeon Lake Campground has a trail around most of the lake.
Best for avoiding the crowds: Zeiner Campground is typically less crowded than Pigeon Lake Campground.

Tips for snagging a campsite

This park's close proximity to Alberta's capital city means summertime reservations, at both campgrounds, book up quickly, especially on weekends and holidays. For a summer trip, make a reservation months ahead of time.
Pigeon Lake Campground usually fills up before Zeiner Campground.
There are some winter campsites at Pigeon Lake Campground, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You'll have no trouble snagging a winter site.
Weekends at the eight comfort camping yurts typically book up at the beginning of the reservation season, which starts in May. If you've missed out on a weekend slot, plan a trip during the week instead. The comfort yurts are only available from May to September.

When to go

As one of Alberta's most popular summer recreation sites, campers can get the most out of a trip in July and August, when the beach area is a dream, boaters can make the most of the boat launch, the biking is good fun, and the sunsets last for what feels like hours. That being said, this park is busy! Avoid the bustle by visiting this part of Canada in the fall. Come bundle up and kayak on the lake before it freezes. When you get back to shore, you can warm up by the fire pit and enjoy some s'mores. If you don’t mind Alberta's frigid temperatures, winter camping means you can cross-country ski on the groomed trails and make the most of winterized campsites.

Know before you go

The Village at Pigeon Lake is a great place to find groceries, restaurants, cafes, a pharmacy, and a gas station. There's also a concession at Pigeon Lake Campground, which is open during the summer months. The store only accepts cash.
Both Pigeon Lake Campground and Zeiner Campground have designated swimming areas, but watch for signage or check Alberta Parks advisories before jumping in. Pigeon Lake sometimes has a blue-green algae advisory in effect. Avoid swimming if that's in place.
Fishing is a popular activity at this park, but before casting your line, you'll need a provincial fishing licence. Licences are easy to get online or at many sporting and convenience stores.
