Cattle Ranch in the Foothills

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents320 acres · AB

We are a working cattle ranch, about a 10 minute drive on a gravel road 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. Each site has its own road off the main road so no one else will be driving past your camp. 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 and curious, but not house pets - just be aware. Our sites are not fenced from the cows, so you will have all the sights, smells, and sounds that are associated with cows if they come to visit you. If they bug you too much, message me and I will come over to move them out. I also have a shovel at each site to help clean up cow deposits! We are not a commercial nor Parks campground, nor do we strive to be. If you are looking for site with garbage service, running water, etc., you won’t find it here. If you are looking for an off-grid site with a few niceties, tons of privacy, off leash for your pups, and free firewood, you will be happy staying at our ranch!

Glamping near Banff guide

Overview

Situated inside Banff National Park, the small town of Banff boasts incredible scenery and outdoor activities year-round—all perfect for glamping. Glampers can stay in town in accommodations like trapper-style canvas tents equipped with potable water, toilets, showers, and picnic tables, or book a nearby yurt equipped with a queen-size bed and a private deck with a hot tub to savor the mountain views while indulging in the finer things on your next glamping getaway. Canoers and kayakers will want to take a soothing paddle on the aquamarine waters of Lake Louise, 40 minutes from Banff’s town center. To avoid the park’s busy summer season, consider a glamping experience in September when the weather is still warm, but trails, lodges, and attractions are less crowded. Fall camping will also make it easier to reserve one of the pet-friendly riverside yurts at nearby Bragg Creek too. Glamping sites may provide wood stoves, hot showers, and firepits—a great way for winter visitors to warm up after skiing or snowshoeing.
