Cattle Ranch in the Foothills
6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents320 acres · AB
We are a working cattle ranch about 10 minutes drive off of HiWay #1. You’re surrounded by wildlife and outdoor activities just as you step out of the door. We offer lots of privacy. During most of your stay, you will think there’s no one on the ranch but you!
We’re close to a golf course, about 40 minutes to Canmore, one hour to Banff, and 40 minutes to Downtown Calgary. Perfect for day trips for activities other than camping.
Our cows are tame, but not house pets, especially when they have their calves near by! They’ll be curious, but then go back to munching on grass.

Rough Diamond Ranch
5 sites · RVs, Tents80 acres · Calgary, AB
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 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 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 sharing our heaven with you and you are helping to support our animal and this heaven.
Chickens are "True" Free Range and hand fed every morning. Eggs are $7.00 a dozen to pay for their feed. :)

Little Slice of Heaven
3 sites · Lodging3 acres · Calgary, AB
A little slice of heaven - that was what one of my neighboring ranchers called the place I live as we were chatting while he pulled me out of a ditch one winter morning. I couldn't have said it better myself.
This place is truly peaceful.
We have a beautiful 3 acres that back on to a 15+ acre lake and natural wetland, with a private dock. There is a woodland area that borders the property and runs along the lake with a path, peaceful nooks, and a secluded duck blind. There is open grass space and a fire pit + seating and picnic table near the lake.
For Accommodations...
You have your choice of two camper trailers. The Mallard sleeps 3-4, and The Terry can sleep up to 8. Both have fully functioning kitchens and washrooms. They are hooked up to solar charged batteries that will run all the basics inside (plug ins, heat, lights, radio, etc.).
We also have a generator available if you require use of the air conditioning or microwave; we provide 30L of gas for the generator, which used as needed will last 3-5 days, or more. Additional gas is available for an extra charge - current gas price plus 15%.
For Fun...
We have kayaks, a pedal boat, fresh horseshoe pits, ladder ball, bocce ball, a few board games: monopoly, scrabble, crib, connect four, and some art supplies: a couple of easels, canvasses, paints and other crafting fun!
If you like bird watching this is the spot for you! Many nest along the cattails, easily visible from the shore or the dock, and there are Bald Eagles, Great Horned Owls, and lots of Hawks in the area. We are happy to lend you our binoculars and bird book!
If you are more into relaxation, we also have a hot tub, infrared sauna, and inversion table on-site. Your host, Desirea Marie is also the founder of Forged Soulutions and would be honored to enhance your stay by scheduling you in for personal relaxation and transformation services. She provides Foundational and Restorative Yoga, Reiki Healing, Belief Re-patterning, and Relaxation Massage, starting at $49 for 30 minutes and with special package options for our HipCamp guests!
We also have a small flock of beautiful laying hens, a small greenhouse and garden, with fresh eggs, some herbs, vegetables and houseplants available for purchase - based on season and availability.
