Quiet, majestic back to nature spot!
This is a place to get away from a busy life.
With close proximity to Winchell Lake, this land is ideal for fishing, hiking or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
We have 4 campsites available for tent or RV/trailer campers. If you're bringing an RV, we have two power outlets and water available. You will be parking on a field and the site requires levelling.
Electricity and firewood are both available for purchase (see extras below). Please add this to your reservation at the time of booking.
Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome. Potable water, picnic table, and outhouse are all available.
We have cows, goats, chickens, horses and dogs and cats on the property that
generally love people. :) I have only one dog and typically allow dogs to run off leash. We do have to be careful that it doesn't turn to a dog gang as this happened once and they took down one of my goats. The goats Hon and Chewy are okay but it took months for poor Hon to heal. I also worry about the chickens and the cats so please keep and eye on your dogs!
Lots of treed areas for private camping, horseback riding hiking and walking!
Bird watching is big around here as we are on a bird migratory path.
We are just above Winchell Lake and less than 10 km from Water Valley Golf Course and Saloon.
Please recognize that you are visiting a Ranch not a campsite. We are sharing our piece of heaven with you and you are helping to support our animals and their heaven.
Chickens are "True" Free Range and hand fed every morning. Eggs are $10 a dozen to pay for their feed. :)
Every spring the rain tends to cause ruts and washes out some of the road on the way to the back forty where the meadow is. We gather rocks on the property to fill the ditches but the early part of the year the roads can be bumpy. Please ask the conditions of the road when you book if you have concerns. Thanks!

Earthcode Sky Lodges at Yehke Getaways

15km from Long Creek Provincial Park · 6 sites · RVs, Lodging
WELCOME TO EARTHCODE SKY LODGES
“You will witness some amazing sunsets over the mountain range at the end of the day. As the evening gets darker the stars come out and the sky paints an enchanting picture. As you go to sleep you may be serenaded by Indigenous drumming and singing or the distant howling of coyotes. Then imagine waking up to birds singing and when you step outside your tipi or tent you will be overwhelmed with a beautiful sunrise with glorious orange, purple sunlight gleaming on the majestic snow topped mountains. This is a total escape experience which wakes up your inner soul. When you visit these scared lands, you can feel the peaceful and natural healing energies of Mother Earth.”
Location
Earthcode Sky Lodges is located on the sacred lands of the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, a short 25-minute drive west of Cochrane, Alberta on Highway #1A. The town of Canmore is only 20 minutes away and 45 minutes’ drive to Banff National Park. The campground is nestled in a peaceful secluded setting with an amazing stunning view of the spectacular Rocky Mountains. Mount Yamnuska, a popular mountain destination for hikers, runners, and mountain bikers with plenty of trails to explore, is only a 10 minutes’ drive away.
Our camp is situated on Yethka Getaways, on private lands held by a Stoney Elder at the base of the Rocky Mountains which offers spectacular pristine scenery. Close to the Earthcode Sky Lodges is the the Bow River which offers some great fishing opportunities and recreational options such as white-water rafting and horseback riding. Our camp is surrounded by pristine country which is home to a variety of wildlife, including elk, deer, coyotes, and moose. Golden and bald eagles also make their home around the camp. The primary attraction to our camp is the amazing scenery which includes beautiful sunsets to the west and at night the stars come out very vividly. What stands us apart from other similar glamping operations is the cultural and educational experience through the sharing of our traditional Indigenous knowledge around star constellations.

Peaceful River Valley Camping
13. Peaceful River Valley Camping
43km from Long Creek Provincial Park · 1 site
Tucked into a quiet stretch of river valley near Carseland, Alberta, this is a place to slow down and settle into the natural landscape.
Our private campsites sit across open meadow and native grasses, with wide views, soft light, and the gentle rhythm of the nearby river. It feels removed: not far from the city (40 min from Calgary), but far enough that the noise fades and the pace naturally slows.
Guests come here for simple, grounded experiences — morning coffee in stillness, forest walks + nature bathing, fly fishing in the world-class Bow River, afternoons in the sun, and evenings by the fire and star-gazing.
This is not a crowded campground. Sites are limited and private and the focus is on quiet, space, and connection to the land.
What to expect:
- Bare land campsites with plenty of space to set up
- Private fire pits at each site
- Power plug-ins available
- Open meadow and river valley views
- Peaceful, low-density setting (no packed rows of campers)
- Natural surroundings with local wildlife and birds
- Off-grid feel with simple, intentional amenities (outdoor restrooms)
We are keeping the experience simple and grounded for now, more unplugged than fully serviced. Come prepared to be comfortable and self-sufficient, and to enjoy the slower pace that comes with it.
This space is best suited for couples, families, and individuals looking to rest and reconnect — not for parties or large gatherings.
If you’re looking for a peaceful place to land, reset, and experience the river valley in a more intentional way, you’ll feel at home here.

Finding this land was quite easy, the pin dropped was exactly where to find it. Stephanie was super accommodating to my chaotic plans and was very quick to respond. I was traveling with a travel trailer and the land itself was relatively flat, easy to find a chunk to park on without having to use extra tools to level. It was close to the city so good space to be as I had errands to run but far enough away it felt like you were out in the country. There was a very nice older dog there that was playful and my dog loved hanging out with. Overall very please with my stay and would absolutely stay again.

I only needed a place to park and sleep, and this worked out perfectly. Happy to have a toilet there, and it looks like a good place for a bbq/fire pit with a group. There was a bit of miscommunication about arrival, but this was my first time hipcamping so I didn’t really know much anyway. Laura was lovely in sorting it out. Seeing the animals was a bonus, and I’ll definitely stay again if I’m in the area!

It is the best camping place that we would recommend to our friends and family. Laura is the best host that we have met, who made our day more comfortable and feeling to be at our home as we respect their land, their properties, their ranch animals. We love to recommend to who love nature, love to stay and have experience on the ranches. We love you and your granddaughter, Laura! Thank you so much for everything!

Laura was an outstanding host. Not only did she invite us for Christmas dinner, but she showed my friend the true meaning of a Canadian Christmas. Her ranch is beautiful, with great walking trails through the trees. I’m excited to camp here come summer and spring time, what a beautiful place.
Her dogs, cats, and horses make everyone feel welcome!

The rustic cozy cabin was definitely rustic and cozy! Yet it was fully equipped with Wi-Fi, TV, a VHS player, lots of movies, a record player, and Netflix. It was peaceful, warm and the surrounding land was beautiful. I even saw three deer walking by. We also loved the hot tub at night! Being cozy/small, it was a little hard to move around with my partner and two dogs. And yes, there's a beautiful bathroom available, but you have to walk outside to get to it. Not too bad except I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night every night. I would have brought our portable toilet with us if I had realized how everything was situated. All in all, Anna and her husband were great and responsive, and we truly enjoyed ourselves! Thank you!

We booked this cabin through HipCamp and were left with rather mixed impressions. The cabin itself is very cozy, styled like a hunting lodge, with a true “retro” atmosphere. Inside everything is simple but tasteful — it really feels like a little corner of nature where you can disconnect from everyday life. We genuinely enjoyed this authenticity and sense of peace.
Unfortunately, at the very end of our stay, a situation occurred that spoiled the overall impression. As we were getting ready to leave, the hosts let out their large dog. The animal behaved quite aggressively, which felt unsafe — especially since we had our 4-month-old baby with us. We really appreciated the atmosphere of this place, but it would be important for the hosts to consider this issue with pets, as guest safety matters a lot.
Overall, the place has great potential for a wonderful stay, and we sincerely hope this aspect will be addressed.

Beautiful property with beautiful views! It’s hard to believe you’re only a few minutes from the city.
The sunsets by the fire are incredible!
I would recommend, because the property is south facing, that you may want to plan your spot based on how much sun you want.
Lots of cows, deer, pocket gophers, and ground squirrels to spot while you relax in the peace and quiet.

It was such a beautiful spot. We tented it for one night by the river. Everything was pretty wet but we thought it was worth it for the view and sounds of the river. We had our dogs with us who loved being able to play in the water. Just such a perfect place. We wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely coming back for our river spot again if we can.

I love this campground 10/10 would recommend. I will admit that I was nervous to pick this spot after reading some of the reviews, however we needed a spot for the long weekend that was close to the city since I was hosting a nature ceremony so we needed somewhere that could accommodate lots of guests not too far. They have quite a lot of land out there with lots of cool things to explore. The moment we drove in we seen horses and bison! 🦬 (In a pen now, they no longer just wander) These man at the check in trailer was very friendly and gave us lots of wood for good price. There was lots of interesting sights on the property, a modified bus, some farm equipment and playground structures and what looked like an indigenous market area, I suppose to some it might look like junk however we all thought it was cool. They have several different sections-a glamping area with domes, some tipis, trailer area and tenting area. This is a perfect spot if you are coming with a large group. Access to the river (perfect for hot summer days, thank god cuz it was so hot when we were there) And this place is close enough to Bragg Creek you can run to town if u need anything and you will still get cell service here. 👌 And the outhouses weren't to bad when we went.
