Once you are settled in, take your time to walk around. You can birdwatch from your campsite, the feeders by the house are a busy bird haven. Walk to the gate and check out the pond and the grazing horses. Ask how to be safe as you walk in the pasture. Pet them if they agree to it, or walk down the trail into the forest. There are many trails to follow down there. You are welcome to use the firepit and picnic area in the bottom. Listen for the birds, we have many different sparrows, warblers and other birds that don't stop singing. If you are lucky, you might see some deer or great horned owls. The yard is open to the big sky. Watch storms come and go, see the stars and some nights you might see the northern lights. Bring your bug spray, the mosquitoes can be aggressive.

Located only 45 minutes from Edmonton, 5km west of Onoway (grocery, fuel, car wash, dump station, restaurants). Forest Retreat is a good fit if you’re looking for something more ‘down to earth’.. humble AND comfortable, with great indoor and outdoor spaces. I have been an organic market gardener for 25 years and now am downsizing the farm to welcome visitors to experience the Land, cabins and event space here. I enjoy creating cozy, welcoming spaces that invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, relax, explore outdoors or stay in and recharge. The buildings are not new but they are well cared for. The outside and inside areas are clean and tidy, while also showing their age and good use…just like those of us who live here :D The well water is plentiful, potable and very rich in minerals. It leaves orange staining and a white residue where the water sits (think toilet/shower/sinks). It is cleaned thoroughly. I provide bottles of reverse osmosis water in all cabins for drinking and to use in kettles/coffee makers. Shared full kitchen/washroom with shower available, walking trails (bush trails), screened shared gazebo, hammocks and picnic tables. Now with a pool! (subject to conditions). Separately, the ‘Beaver lodge’ and Camping sites are located down river on 5 acres of mowed grassland next to 10 acres of wetland. Room for multiple mobile campers. ‘Rustic’ sites. Bottled water. No power. Beaver lodge has sleeping (foam mattresses) for 4, camping stove, kettle, frypan, 2 chairs/table). Bring your own everything else. Like camping but MUCH easier and enjoyable! No kitchen/washroom access. Pit toilet. Home to Willow, poplar and Spruce in a thriving ecosystem. Excellent Bird watching, abundant wildlife and access to the Sturgeon River (subject to conditions). Easily accessed, only minutes from a main highway. Nearby large lakes and rivers and hiking trails. Sun and shade, dark sky at night.

Weekend Trip to Avant Gardens

We had such a wonderful stay here over the Labour Day long weekend! It was exactly the kind of peaceful getaway we were looking for. Coming from Calgary, it was so nice to disconnect from the city, slow down, and simply enjoy the quiet and nature around us. Our dogs absolutely loved it too — having the space and freedom to run around off leash made the trip even more enjoyable for all of us. There is no water or electricity, but for us, that was actually part of the experience. It really helped us unplug and recharge, and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay comfortably. Eugene and Kerry were wonderful hosts. They gave us a tour of their farm, which we really enjoyed, and even gifted us a small jar of honey produced right there on the farm — such a thoughtful and lovely touch! Everything was exactly what we had hoped for: peaceful, private, relaxing, and away from the noise of the city. We left feeling refreshed, and our dogs definitely enjoyed their little countryside adventure too. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from the city, spend some quiet time in nature, and truly recharge. We would happily stay here again!

Camping on Gordon's land was awesome, his family has been there for 120 years I believe he said and he is committed to keeping the land the way it is which is a great sentiment. The campgrounds were very tidy and there was lots of trails to walk and things to see, as well as a boat launch nearby. Gordon was also available for to talk to if there was anything you might need. Overall Gordon was a great host and very attentive, and the campgrounds were awesome. Would definitely camp here again.

It’s also very close to Alberta Beach where the kids can go paddle boarding and get massive ice cream cones. She even brought the horses to visit, which was a real treat. I really appreciated the security and knowing we were safe and sound with a locked gate at the entrance.

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.
