ML Arena is located in the Foothills of Southern Alberta in the community of Spring Point (the HipCamp listing shows “Claresholm” but we are located in the MD of Pincher Creek) 10 miles west of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of “Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump “. We have 3 campsites with water and power, 1 full service treed campsite for smaller rigs and an orchard for tenting. Overflow parking for big rigs is available with power. There is an indoor riding arena on site and access to the Porcupine Hills Recreation Area public lands just 15 minutes down the road! Beautiful open views give the feel of being secluded but proximity to both Fort Macleod and Pincher Creek is just 25 minutes away. Outdoor corrals and pens with auto waterers are available for horses.

Great stop

Arena RV Site 3 (water, power)

This was a perfect stop on our way through the area with our motor home. Cathy and Todd were great hosts, and so friendly! They invited us in, and gave us some great tips and info on the area. We also learned about their horses and Cathy’s training business. It was so fun and interesting since we know nothing about it. I would highly recommend this stop to anyone looking for accommodations in the area.

Fantastic! Highly recommend. Gorgeous area, Cathy and her husband are wonderful people; inspiring! I encourage everyone to try to take a hire back riding lesson with Cathy as she is an exceptionally talented teacher and it is such a great experience. Will be a regular stop for our family in the future.

Perfect place to relax

Orchard Tenting

I loved every minute of my stay in the orchard! Cathy's place is such a beautiful oasis surrounded by peaceful hills. The orchard has beautiful trees and is sheltered by hedges. There are benches and tables to use and lots of space. I got a warm welcome on arrival and a tour so I know where everything is. She has two adorable dogs. I loved having the chance to get to know Cathy and her husband a little - great people! And best of all, I got some special time with Cathy's horses! The place is remote enough that you can truly relax and recharge, yet easy to get to. If you want to explore, there is Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump not too far, and hiking in the surrounding hills. I definitely recommend staying at Cathy's, and hope to be back sometime myself!

The site was very nice. A lovely little orchard. Very good protection from the wind. The hosts were friendly. Their dogs were also friendly. The pear is cool. The pears were not ripe yet, but the apples were tasty.

Cathy couldn't have been more welcoming, and before we knew it our seven year old daughter was riding a horse in Cathy's arena. The property is a haven of trees and good vibes in a land of plains and fields and windmills. We we had no expectations, but were delighted by the coziness and protected feeling of the place, not to mention the extensive amenities (grills, tables, water, toys for the kids etc) and the fact that there are beautiful horses around to pet. More practically, for us and our trip plans, it was a great stopover to break up the drive between Glacier and Banff.

Warm hospitality. Beautiful camping space. Kind, helpful, thoughtful. Feel like I made new friends. Cathy is an accomplished horsewoman, and Todd is involved with a ground-breaking sustainable fertilization project. Peaceful spot, great wifi, dogs, horses, big skies. Perfect.

Tent Camping- Awesome!!

Orchard Tenting

The site was beautiful! There was a large crabapple tree to put our tent under for shade and protection from the weather. Cathy had such an amazing setup with a picnic table, swing, and even a little patio table. Cathy and her husband welcomed us kindly into their home! Thank you for the amazing stay, we had a blast and will definitely be coming back!

We loved camping on Cathy’s land. The whole family was very warm and welcoming and we appreciated meeting the horses, cats and dogs. The camp site was beautiful and sheltered in the orchard, with a nice tree swing, picnic tables, and available outdoor games.
