Peaceful and healing
We loved staying at Dana’s. it was beautiful, and PEACEFUL. It was great to have a covered eating area; be next to the horses; and, have a fresh water source. We went to the Calgary stampede during the days and chilled out at Dana’s in between. It’s a bit of a drive to do that, but it worked out really well for us.

Camping
The place is very spacious. If you're planning to have a big group of friends & family camping trip, this place will be perfect. The owners' dogs will welcome you and they are very friendly. Firewood is provided which is a bonus. The pit washroom was clean.

What a great experience! Our first Hipcamp couldn’t have been better. Awesome hosts, great time at a working ranch. Thank you so much Dana! Loved meeting your family, your dogs, all your farm animals! Hoping to see you again next time we’re in central AB.

Overall the trip was amazing. Dana and Paul were super nice and easy-going. They welcomed us as we arrived and gave us permission to explore their ranch. They even gave us a tour and let us pet the animals. Outside of that, the camping experience was really great; we had the privacy that we wanted with the safety of being on the ranch. Definitely will be returning and would recommend!

Friendly hosts and amazing stars
Friendly hosts including the furry ones! The stars were amazing, lots of wood and a very clean outhouse. The extra chairs and the shelter came in handy. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome Campsite
This is the place to go if you need to disconnect from the fast-paced world and reconnect with nature, family, or friends. It's a lovely, peaceful camping. We were greeted by friendly dogs. The children had a great time playing with the animals and their son. Dana and her family greeted us warmly as we entered their personal space. (I appreciate it.) We are looking forward to returning next summer!

A wonderful dog filled stay
We had a wonderful time staying at Merlin Ranch! Being greeted by 5 happy dogs made our day!
Paul and Dana were helpful and welcoming, and Merlin Ranch is a perfect spot for anyone looking for privacy in a beautiful location. Bonus if you like dogs - one of them actually stayed right by our trailer the whole night. Would Definitely recommend - 5*!

The perfect ranch location
Nice quiet area just out of town near some wicked crown land and a lake you can fish at. If you have horses or just looking for a quick dip out of the city this place has it. Dana and her family are all very nice!

Great camping near Cochrane
Great experience, kids said best camping ever. Loved playing with dogs and other animals.
An access road to a camp site was grassy and rough, but manageable with a minivan.
