Meadow Site (Site 1) is great for RV's of all sizes.

2 nights at Sunberry Meadows

We had an amazing time. Thanks to the surprise gift from Gregg and Kristin's, we were able to spend the cold night in warmth and comfort. The incredibly kind hosts and the private camping site made it a perfect place for my wife and me to enjoy a peaceful and cozy time. Additionally, our dog had plenty of space to run around, which made us very happy. We've visited many campgrounds, but this one is by far the best. I will definitely be coming back here again.

It was cheap and there were friendly pets on the property.

Weekend Trip to Starry Nights and Northern Lights

I absolutely loved my stay here. The cabin is so cozy and cute. Dani and Josh were amazing hosts, friendly and accommodating in every way. The view of the stars and the atmosphere was beautiful. They even had a telescope in the cabin and a great selection of books to read. The cabin holds heat very well and is the perfect size for 2 people. Daniel and Josh even recommended the cutest little places around town to check out and it made our trip even better. For my stay i was in an air cast and they went out of their way to make sure all areas were shoveled and salted and put out bags to protect the cast from the wet ground and snow. I honestly can't rate my stay high enough. This is deffinetly one to check out!

2 nights at Hidden Springs Retreat & Guesthouse

Lovely quiet spot with beautiful views. We've been here twice, once staying in our RV and once in the chalet and we hope to get back again.

1 night at Sunberry Meadows

Gregg's site was fantastic! I made a solo trip out for a night under the stars and everything was perfect. The site is tucked away away from the house and completely private. Plenty of fire wood was supplied and the outhouse was clean and close by. Will come out for another visit again in the future. Would be great for small family or groups even to enjoy the outdoors.

Weekend Trip to Starry Nights and Northern Lights

The hospitality at Dani and Josh's cabin was fantastic! We added on a breakfast basket and charcuterie board, which were both awesome. The cabin was cozy and relaxing with the wood stove, definitely a great place to get a few days of rest and relaxation. Highly recommend the sheep tour!

2 nights at Nature Alive Adventures and Camping

What a beautiful property! We had an amazing stay at the Nature Alive Adventures Retreat. While we didn’t utilize any of the add on packages this trip, we will return again for sure. Beautiful little cabin with all the amenities you need plus more, and we pretty much had the property to ourselves. It was so serene. The bed was very comfortable and the cabin stayed warm and cozy. We enjoyed playing some of the games that are there. The fire pit and hot tub were incredible in the evening under the stars. The added bonus were the adorable, friendly cats that kept us company. 10/10 recommend!

If you're bringing an RV, we have two power outlets and water available. You will be parking on a field and the site requires levelling. Electricity and firewood are both available for purchase (see extras below). Please add this to your reservation at the time of booking. Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome. Potable water, picnic table, and outhouse are all available. We have cows, goats, chickens, horses and dogs on the property that generally love people. :) I have only one dog and typically allow dogs to run off leash. We do have to be careful that it doesn't turn to a dog gang as this happened once and they took down one of my goats. The goats Hon and Chewy are okay but it took months for poor Hon to heal. I also worry about the chickens so please keep and eye on your dogs! Lots of treed areas for private camping, horseback riding hiking and walking! Bird watching is big around here as we are on a bird migratory path. We are just above Winchell Lake and less than 10 km from Water Valley Golf Course and Saloon. Please recognize that you are visiting a Ranch not a campsite. We are sharing our piece of heaven with you and you are helping to support our animals and their heaven. Chickens are "True" Free Range and hand fed every morning. Eggs are $7.00 a dozen to pay for their feed. :) Every spring the rain tends to cause ruts and washes out some of the road on the way to the back forty where the meadow is. We gather rocks on the property to fill the ditches but the early part of the year the roads can be bumpy. Please ask the conditions of the road when you book if you have concerns. Thanks!

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.

Collinswood Retreat

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents160 acres · Red Deer, AB

Collin’s Wood is a very special place indeed. The land was bought by my grandfather years ago when he moved to Canada from England and wanted to chase his log cabin dream. Our main cabin my family built from trees on the land, entirely by hand. We have photos of the trees being cut and the bark being peeled off. Since then, we’ve made many changes out there, we now have a guest cabin that used to be a Teacheridge (back when teachers would live in a one room building beside the school), eventually it was turned into a cafe and now it sits on our land as a guest cabin. This place is so magical. With a quarter section of land I grew up running through the forest with my friends and learning about what the land has to offer. My parents have spent every spare weekend out there making this paradise into what it is today. All the buildings were created by my family through labour and love. We’ve hosted weddings, and family reunions. We hope you appreciate how special this place is. Come see for yourself!
