Go Hard Ranch is a place where the world slows down and the land does the talking. Once the Rehn family’s homestead, its history still lives in the old wash house, the cook house, and the trails shaped by generations who worked this ground with their hands and hearts. Today, the ranch carries that legacy forward while welcoming new stories beneath wide Alberta skies.
Set above the quiet sweep of Chip Lake, wild, open, and often forgotten, the ranch feels remote yet sits just minutes off the Yellowhead. It’s close enough for an easy escape, far enough that the noise of life falls away the moment your boots hit the dirt.
Authentic hand‑painted tipis, cozy cabins, and a historic log homestead cabin offer stays that feel rooted and real. Each space invites you to slow down: watch the horses graze, wander the trails, breathe in the stillness, and let the wind and birdsong set the pace. Wildlife moves freely here, and sunrise over the lake is worth waking early for. Evenings settle softly around the fire, and nights stretch wide with stars. Whether you’re gathering with friends, sharing a quiet moment with someone you love, or exploring with family, the ranch becomes whatever you need, adventure, peace, or a place to simply be.
Go Hard Ranch is rugged, warm, and unforgettable. A place where history hums through the timber, where the sky feels endless, and where every stay leaves a little dust on your boots and a lot of calm in your bones.

We had an amazing camping experience at Creek Edge! The family running the place is incredibly friendly and helpful. One of the best parts was having constant electricity throughout our stay, which made everything so much easier. We especially fell in love with their pets—spending time with their dogs and cats was such a joy! If you’re looking for a welcoming, animal-friendly, and peaceful spot near Spruce Grove, this is it. Highly recommended!

MJ is the most lovely lady. What an honour to be a guest to this property.
The property is very picturesque. And the alpacas and llamas are of course adorable.
Absolutely would recommend staying at this location.
We were in a pinch to find something suitable for what we needed because we're 4 season tenters. Thank you, MJ! From the bottom of our hearts.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cozy, private, and scenic spot to unwind!

Magical. It’s the only word to describe what Adam has created at Sky Hound Ranch. He’s developed a welcoming space full of intention, purpose and gratitude. It’s calming and exciting. Highly recommend staying here and really living and partaking in all they have to offer at the ranch. Their knowledge is immense. We will definitely be back!

Our recent stay at this campsite was truly fantastic — the warm hospitality, beautiful grounds, and attention to cleanliness made it special from start to finish. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, and we especially loved meeting their pets, who added an extra touch of comfort and fun to our visit. Being surrounded by nature’s calls—rustling trees, squirrels, and birds—made us feel completely at one with the outdoors. We can’t wait to return next summer and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a relaxing, pet-friendly getaway in nature!

The site was amazing and our group will 1000% be back next year and for a number of years to come. The open area up top was so nice to set up our tents and the lower area by the campfire was so secluded, private, and fun to have a late night fire by. I definitely recommend booking this site.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a weekend away from the busyness of our farm, and Creek’s Edge provided that “home away from home” we were looking for. R & M were great hosts, and their four-legged “co-hosts” were happy to keep us company while we relaxed and unwound. Thank you both for the opportunity to have a weekend away, while still being close to home!

We had a lovely time at Adam’s property. It is a very scenic spot, surrounded by a meadow. It is a working cattle ranch, and Adam gave us tour of his ethical cattle ranching operation. My kids loved it. You are surrounded by nature, trees and horses which was lovely to wake up to. There is the world’s friendliest barn cat who made herself at home with us, too. It is rustic as described in the listing with a fair amount of bugs in the heat of the summer. We had a screen tent for cooking and eating which made it fine. There is a big firepit for roasting hot dogs and s’mores which we did every night. It’s so remote that you can see all the stars at night. Adam really was an amazing host, running an extra power cord to our tent and helping when I ran out of propane. It was a pleasure to stay on his ranch and I would definitely recommend it!
