With amazing views of the Rocky Mountains, this west facing spot allows for some beautiful sunsets. Sightings of deer and moose are very typical along with many birds including hawks, eagles and even a chance to see some sand hill cranes. Just up the hill is the Pine Ridge lookout which provide views towards Waterton Park and the legendary Chief Mountain. Learn more about this land: This camping spot has amazing mountain views about 15 minutes from Waterton Lakes National Park. The prairies of Alberta meet the peaks of the Rocky Mountains in Waterton Lakes National Park. Clear lakes, thundering waterfalls, rainbow-coloured streams, colourful rocks and mountain vistas await hikers and sightseers. With an exceptional diversity of wildlife and wildflowers and a cozy little waterfront town to serve as a home base, Waterton packs a big natural punch into a relatively small and accessible area. Currently, this is a simple, basic spot to camp and enjoy the views. There are plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife (moose, deer, birds). No amenities as of now, but we are looking to add more soon. Due to fire restrictions currently in place, only propane-type devices can be used at this time. Pets are welcome.This camping spot has amazing mountain views about 15 minutes from Waterton Lakes National Park.

What a beautiful place to camp. We enjoyed the views and serene atmosphere. The deer came by to visit us which was a bonus. The host is so lovely and went above and beyond to accommodate us. I would definitely come back and stay here again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful land with us Scott and Wilma!

It's a beautiful piece of property with tremendous views of the mountains and surrounding area. And absolutely quiet-- no highway noises, no aircraft overhead. Just a few cattle heard after dark and some birds. Great sunrise.

Scott’s ranch was amazing to camp at. The cows were super friendly and the views of the mountains and hills were stunning. Scott has a picnic table and lots of space. Very private. Would definitely recommend!

It was a very disappointing experience to be at Moutain View considering the price. There was absolutely nothing but a patch of mowed grass and a dilapidated set of tables and benches. Don't understand that HipCamp would put its name to such a place.

Scott was a great host and answered my questions quickly. What a beautiful spot he has. Felt completely safe there traveling alone and sleeping in the back of my minivan for the night. The cows moo-ing made it feel peaceful and cozy.

Great spot with very easy access, beautiful view, very close to Waterton Park, quiet, nicely kept, perfect for our dirtbag car camp needs but also would be nice for longer set-ups or larger rigs. We absolutely will be back whenever in the area.

Perfect spot

Tent

Scott’s camping area was great. Certainly would recommend staying here. It is in close proximity to Waterton NP, but secluded enough from the crowds to spend a relaxing night with some beautiful views. We hope we make it back here some day

One of my favorite Hipcamp spots

20 ft Class B

We booked this site for one night, as a stopover on our way to Banff, and I wish we had considered staying more nights. The scenery at this spot is beautiful. We did have a thunderstorm roll through while we were there, which was exciting, but other than that the spot was very peaceful. We enjoyed watching the cows in the adjacent field. Waterton Park is nearby and definitely worth a visit.

The views are stunning and it is a nice change from busy campgrounds. It feels private but not remote and I feel safe camping here. We have been back two years in a row with our camper. There is soft ground for a tent. It is easy to explore Waterton nearby.

Scott was a great communicator and the site was very easy to find! We enjoyed the peaceful setting with the sounds of a babbling creek in the distance. We were able to see elk and deer during our short stay. We would definitely recommend taking advantage of this great stop. We used it as a stop over on our way to Banff.

What a beautiful, secluded mountain-view spot to relax and take in the wildflowers, sunsets and moonrise. Only 15 minutes to Waterton Park. Just perfect and directions were easy to follow. Will happily go again.

Oh the incredible views from Scott’s private land - stunning! We’re so glad we booked this site, there were no other people there, so we had it all to ourselves. The site is well-described in the listing, great for spotting wildlife - saw some deer, moose, beautiful birds and some wildflowers too! Our dogs loved the place to run around and we just enjoyed the fresh air, scenic view. Scott even stop by for a bit to say hi, very nice host. You have to book this spot if you’re filming Albertan scenery - this is a must visit hipcamp site!

This place is unreal! The views are incredible, especially during sunset. Scott is an unbelievably kind host who wants to ensure your stay is comfortable and pleasant! It’s a 15-20 min drive into Waterton Nat’l Park, the closest, cheapest, and most beautiful spot to stay! 10/10 - book it, you will not regret it!

great location

17 ft travel trailer · With pets

We like camping here. It was quiet, private, and a scenic spot. We spent our time during the day in the nearby wonderful Waterton Lakes National Park, which is close by. As soon as a campsite spot was open in Waterton, we moved there.
