This property is one of the last remaining natural areas around Sylvan lake. Our family has spent over 120 years as stewards of the land and are excited to share what we have protected. Enjoy Private Tent Camping in a Pristine Aspen Forest with a fire pit and picnic table. All within 500 feet of Sylvan Lake. This is the perfect place to disconnect yourself from the city! Your fee includes free access to 120 acres of forest, excellent wildlife viewing and unlimited deadfall to use as firewood, if you don't mind some manual labour. My kids cut and split firewood if you would like some waiting at your site when you arrive. We have seasoned and split bundles for $10 and you can pre-purchase them when you complete your checkout. It's like a lemonade stand for them...just more work. ;) A professionally maintained porta-potty is on-site for your comfort. We are pet-friendly! If you enjoy the water, this is an ideal location for Kayaking, Paddleboarding or just lounging on an air mattress. With its picturesque scenery and shallow shoreline, Sylvan Lake is a great place to spend some time. Sylvan Lake's laid back nature and small-town charm are warm and inviting and have all the amenities that you could ask for. We look forward to hosting you!

Site 3 - Hideaway.
Amazing spot and hidden gem. It's a short walk to the beach and feels very private. We came here with our baby for our first camping trip together and decided to come back with friends agaim a few weeks later.

Site 3 - Hideaway.
My 3 kiddos & I had an absolutely wonderful time tenting on Gordon's land! Site 3 was perfect for the 4 of us, lots of room for our tent & still space for the kids to play. Directions were right on point & Gordon was super quick to respond to a couple questions we had after our arrival. Beautiful trails to meander, neat little lookouts & an awesome beach about 2 minutes walk! Lovely place to tent and with a great host! We can't wait to visit again next year!

Site 1 - Lone Pine.
Will be back
Gord was super friendly and very welcoming. We stayed in site 1 and it was well maintained and had the perfect amount of distance between campers. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to be close to the water. We will come back again.

Site 2 - Tall Tree.
Amazing find
I feel torn this is the best site to find and want everyone one to have such a great experience but please don’t book the days we are planing to come back haha. The owner has owned the land for 125 years and is a great host It’s close enough to town to pick up what you forget The lake is a small walk away The sites are beautiful and even if other sites are full you will feel alone in the woods Can’t say enough good about it

Site 3 - Hideaway.
The site was lovely and very easy to find. We loved that it was just a 10 minute drive to the town of Sylvan Lake, yet it felt very secluded while we camped. It was perfect for our little family (two adults and a 6 & 4 year old). The owner, Gordon was very responsive via the Hipcamp inbox as well as via phone. The lake was very close to the site (maybe a 10min walk with the littles) and the trails on the property were fun to explore. We 100% recommend the spot and look forward to camping out here next summer
