Serenity at it’s best.

This camp spot was so ideal, so picturesque and so what we needed for a weekend away. I’m really hesitant about leaving a 5 star review because the more people know about this amazing spot, the less time there will be for us to enjoy it in the future. Firstly it’s quiet and we LOVED that! The scenery is second to none and the privacy was wonderful. We hope to return next year in warmer weather in the hopes it doesn’t get too busy. The outhouse was clean and well equipped, the platform for tenting and which the picnic table sit on, came in very handy for coolers and water jugs etc. PS. The lack of light pollution made for amazing night sky watching, sadly we missed the northern lights.

Michelle was a gracious host on her beautiful property. The location is stunning, clean and spacious. The beautiful sturdy deck made life so convenient and the fire pit ensured warm cozy evenings, Michelle even helped us out with a few sticks when we couldn't find fire-starter anywhere in town. The outhouse was clean and stocked with all essentials. I cannot wait to come and visit again next summer. I have already told all my friends about this wonderful place!

We loved our stay at Michelle's. It was very peaceful and had fab views over the badlands plus the river just nearby. It is about a 15-20 min drive into Drumheller or the museum and the ferry is just down the road - useful for getting to the latter if you want to avoid driving through the town. WOuld have happily stayed longer if we'd had the time.
