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 one tiny cabin. 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. 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 at its peak, take in a truly breathtaking view of Lesser Slave Lake and its forested slopes, ancient beach ridges, and shifting sand dunes. 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.

Site 1 - Lake Front Paradise

We loved spending our weekend here. The sites are well maintained and clean, as was the outhouse. We stayed in site 1 and the platform overlooking the lake is an amazing feature, we are definitely looking to book again. And a huge shout out to our host who rescued my friend after she locked her keys in her car. Thanks for everything!

Little Cabin With A Big View

Was so much fun

What a fun experience!! The view of this location is breathtaking. The camping lots were decently close together but did provide a good amount of privacy, a GREAT addition to this location was some wooden fences in some of the gaps of the bushes near each campsite. The sign coming in was very easy to follow and to know where you are going. Everything we needed was right there, the path to the water was a little muddy and unkept, but still very easy to get to. We went a few times up and down the path with the dog. Will be heading back at the end of the month and bringing more people!!

Site 4 - Lake Front Paradise

Wonderful

What a terrific spot. I plan to attend again in the future. Garrett was a gracious host and I felt so lucky to be in nature so close to the lake. My only complaint was bad weather, but that's obviously not the fault of the site. 10/10
