Camping with Emus in the Badlands!
Tent · With kids ·
Camping on Bonnie’s land was such a cool experience! She and Mike were kind and welcoming. Bonnie answered any questions we had while planning our trip. Mike had some great suggestions for places to see in the area. We camp in Drumheller once a year, and this is so much better than the crowded, noisy campgrounds we’ve stayed at before. The location is very convenient. The view is beautiful, especially at sunset. The emus are right across from the tent pad and don’t make any noticeable noise or smells. The site is not super far from the road, so you may hear the occasional car in the distance. But the land around the tent pad grows nice and wild, so it feels very private with the shrubs and grasses on all sides. Our tent is 16’x9’. That’s probably the max (lengthwise) that will fit on the tent pad, but we had plenty of space in front (widthwise). Mike showed us some fossils when we went to visit the birds, and we got to watch the animals getting fed. Highly recommended for adults and children alike!

The main host was ill when we were there, so her husband was our contact and he was very pleasant. However, there were many things that needed to be done to make our stay more welcoming. The screens had holes (and mosquitos appeared each night), the bathroom no light, the sheets had holes, mouse poop was in the drawers, and the kitchen no cooking pot or coffee making option. This can all be rectified. Also, because this is a hot area, it would be helpful if the ice box was ready when guests arrived. The bed is narrower then a double, and the bathroom ceiling is low, so I would not recommend this camper to tall people, as they will not fit. (I was okay at 5'8").

Strange and Wonderful camping spot!
Tent · With kids ·
This place is the most wholesome! Bonnie and Mike are 🌈 accepting, gentle, and friendly folks who are so passionate about the land and their sanctuary of birds. We had a great time here. The location beats any of the campgrounds in Drumheller and while the amenities are not amazing (no picnic table, pump water, buggy outhouse), the experience as a whole is well worth the stay if you're self sufficient. Thanks again for the welcome, the chats, the tour, and the kindness. We'd love to return next time we come though!

I had a lovely time camping on Bonnie's land. She was very welcoming and showed me all of the birds that she rescues. The spot itself is very nice, it was great being able to pitch the tent on the wooden platform.

Bonnie’s land was nothing short of breathtaking! The views from morning, noon and night were post card worthy. I cannot thank the hosts enough for their hospitality and willingness to share their love for their home and unique animals! I would love to return again someday day and I would recommend anyone camping in a tent to stay here for a unique camping experience! Thanks again for everything!
