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.

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 loved our stay at Blue Rein! Had lots of space to ourselves and it was very peaceful aside from the occasional moos or neighs from the nearby animals. This is the perfect place if you’re an animal lover as you’ll be greeted by dogs, cows, horses, pigs, and chickens. There’s also a great communal building with washrooms, a kitchen sink , and some fun things like a speaker and pool table. Would absolutely stay here again!

We had such a wonderful stay at Cathy and Todd’s place through Hipcamp. Cathy was incredibly kind and welcoming, and she even offered us great suggestions for local hikes and activities. Todd was also very friendly and helpful. Their property is beautiful, with a well-kept grassy area that’s perfect for camping, and being around the horses made the experience even more special. Everything felt comfortable, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up. We truly enjoyed our time there and would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable camping experience.

This was an amazing little ranch and the perfect place to set up a tent. The dogs were so kind and playful, and Wrangler stayed up to look over us as we had our fire. He was a very good boy, and this was a very good campsite!

We had a wonderful stay! The camp is a pasture. Lots of space to spread out and be comfortable. It was windy while we were there which was perfect because it kept and flies and mosquitos that may have been around away. We had a tent and class C RV and had no problem parking.

Tenting with Blue Rein was amazing! The property is beautiful, with accessible amenities and super quick access to Fort Macleod. All of the animals were super friendly and the dogs made the property feel much safer, especially for a solo traveller. Highly recommend doing the ranch tour.

We spent unforgettable time here! The campsite has everything you need - private space in a beautiful place, electricity, water, washroom access, kind people around. My daughter is excited about the horse riding lesson she took. So many things to do and places to visit in this area - Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village, Lundbreck Falls, Oldman Dam. I would recommend this place for families seeking adventures during the days and quiet nature with campfire at night. Cathy is a very welcoming host!

Great tent camping spot. This is one of the best hip camping tent sites we have stayed at. The tent camping area is very private and with soft grass. Water and electricity are about 100 ft away. Fantastic washroom is in the horse arena which is about a block and a half away from the tent site. Hostess was accommodating and friendly. The song birds were a bonus. This would be a marvelous place for those camping with their horses. Exceptional privacy and shade. Another bonus is that it is within relatively easy driving distance of a World Cultural Heritage Site: the Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump. (Much of this drive was on gravel roads but was easily traversed.). I would rate this Hipcamp site as a 12 on a 10-point scale. I would detour to camp here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Timothy's cabin! It was easy to find, and matched the description. The cabin was cozy and had thoughtful touches, and had a microwave, hot plate, and fridge. The bed was super comfortable. Bathroom/ composting toilet was clean and well maintained.
Timothy was gracious and showed us around the farm and introduced us to the chickens! There was supplies for a fire, although we didn't end up building one. We will definitely be back!

About
Venture into the serene expanse of Willow Creek Provincial Park, where the rolling grasslands meet the majestic Porcupine Hills. Immerse yourself in a landscape where the grass whispers secrets of the land, and the horizon invites endless exploration. Whether you're casting a line into the creek, observing the diverse wildlife, or simply soaking in the tranquil beauty, Willow Creek offers an escape into Alberta's natural splendour.
When to go
The best time to visit Willow Creek Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when the park's full beauty is on display. Winter can be harsh, with snow and cold temperatures limiting access to some areas and activities.
