Homegrown Campground and Cabins is nestled on the north shore of Lesser Slave Lake and I offer cozy camping areas with private lakefront views of Dog Island. I currently have 4 camp sites, two of which have decks, and another site with one tiny cabin. Please read: The property is also a Bison farm and I have two dogs, Luna and Pyro, who are the campground security managers. They love people and other furry friends! Please note that this campground/farm are my dogs home, and they may wonder over at some point and say hello. Please do not feed them, and use good judgment if you are traveling with dogs of your own. Aggressive dogs will not be tolerated. If my dogs overstay their welcome, or if you simply aren't a dog person, please let me know and I can come retrieve them. Potable water is available, directions to it will be made available after checking in. Also, if any of the sites, garabge bin or outhouse needs attention, PLEASE let me know. I ask that you don't leave bags of garbage on the ground after checking out since birds, dogs, or bears will take that as an ivite to make a mess looking for a snack. I do have a full time job that prevents me from being around 100% of the time, so with your help, we can ensure a clean and safe campground for everyone to enjoy. There is a metal dumpster at the end of the road that can be used if needed. Points of interest nearby include: Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park, Devonshire Beach. 5-10 minutes away. You can't say you've been to Slave Lake with out saying you've been to Devonshire. Endless amounts of clean white "squeaky" sand and shallow waters perfect for summer beach days. You will never find a rock on the beach or in the water. The southern end of the park consists of sand ridges and blowout dunes, behind which are a series of marshes and wetlands. Marten Mountain View Point (Lily Lake Trail). 15 minutes away. By far the best view of the lake that you will ever get! At 1020 meters, Marten Mountain is the highest point of land for hundreds of square kilometers. From the Marten Mountain Viewpoint, you can take in a truly breathtaking view of Lesser Slave Lake and its forested slopes. The view point is also the trail head to get to Lily Lake, a medium difficulty 4 km round trip. The cozy lake is stocked with trout and is an excellent afternoon adventure. Boreal Centre for Bird Conservation. 5 minutes away. It is one of Canada's northernmost bird observatories and is one of the only boreal forest bird observatories in the world. Nice walking trails and a great information center with stunning architecture. Gilwood Golf Course. 2 minutes away. Neighboring the property is an 18 hole golf course with a clubhouse and restaurant. Activities nearby include fishing, hiking, wildlife watching, swimming, and so much more! Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.

Little Cabin With A Big View

Love the lake view cabin

Me and my wife enjoyed our stay here. We rented the cabin spot and the location was very nice. Close to town to buy something if you forgot to bring some necessities but far enough that you wont hear any vehicles but the waves in the lake. Our 2 dogs love it, couldnt recommend enough but if I was being nitpicky, some bbq grill and other cooking equipment would be best but for the price you can't beat it. Absolutely love the stay here, everything was clean. No complains

Site 4 - Lake Front Paradise

Beautiful, quiet, perfect getaway

I genuinely loved tent camping at this location, saving this for future endeavors! The campsites are clean, quiet and the views are spectacular! The outhouse was super clean, and didn't smell as much as they usually do. Picnic tables at every site!

Little Cabin With A Big View

Great little spot

Had a wonderful time, camp was easy to find, close to town but far enough away that you don't hear any traffic. Will be coming back forsure. Online downside was there were dogs who chewed up some of our stuff and ripped open our garbage.

Site 1 - Lake Front Paradise

I loved calling on Garrett’s land. It was quiet and peaceful. Site one was private and the deck was amazing. It was easy to find and each site is labeled with a number. The walk to the lake was a bit steep but very do-able. I felt safe as a solo camper.
