We are passionate about nature and the environment. Living close to off-grid makes this area low in EMF, light and noise pollution. The well water is clean, pure and delicious. We are excited to share this Alberta wilderness with like-minded outdoor-type individuals who enjoy community glamping. There are two beautiful lakes (Battle Lake and Pigeon Lake) within a 10-minute drive that offer boating, fishing, beaches, biking and walking trails. Our property is about 1 hour south of Edmonton, Alberta. We have 2 different listings to choose from. Our Tiny Home Cabin and unique Glamping tents. Come enjoy this tranquil piece of nature with us - we look forward to hosting you!

The Secret Sanctuary offers a serene escape, blending the comforts of a luxury hotel with the tranquility of the woods. Guests appreciate the peaceful environment, friendly hosts, and unique outdoor experiences such as stargazing and enjoying heated outdoor showers. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, some guests have noted issues with dog interactions. Nonetheless, the campground's blend of nature, comfort, and community make it an appealing choice for those seeking a quiet retreat.

We absolutely loved staying in the Tiny Cabin at the Secret Sanctuary! Denika and her family were wonderful, and the farm fresh breakfast the next morning was divine!

What a great experience. Beautiful spred, everything you need. Everything was clean and everything had the feeling of just going the extra mile. It was like having a nice clean hotel room on an acreage. Couple friendly dogs to pet, heated outdoor shower. We will definetly be back. Hidden gem

The place is so nice. It is perfect for someone who wants some kind of serenity, quiet and peaceful environment. They have the place set up perfectly. Me and my husband enjoyed our “me time” together. They have a very good service and the owners are warm and friendly.

Lovely campsite and campground
I booked this site for my husband and daughter to stay at. I was unable to join them but they said it was fantastic. It was very quiet and the site was very spacious (unlike many campgrounds where you are jammed in so tight you can hear the other campers conversations. My daughter loved having visits from the owners dogs and visiting the lamas! I would 100% book here again and highly recommend!
