Our 160-acre regenerative agriculture family farm came to be in May of 2021. After previously homesteading on a humble 1-acre property our family had dreams of owning more land where we could establish a farm to call home for many years to come and farm in ways that would be sustainable for generations to follow. Upon first look, the heart and soul that the original owners poured into this property shone like the sun glaring on the water of the river. We knew this was the perfect place to call home for our growing family, and a place so beautiful we could not wait to share it with others. Nestled into a Valley aside from a winding riverbed, our campsite offers serene privacy for guests. With a private beach and swimming hole only a short walk away, guests will be able to have fun splashing around in the water on hot days or simply enjoy the breathtaking views through the peaceful forest leading up to the sandy shore.Nestled into a Valley aside a winding riverbed, this group campsite offers serene privacy for guests. With a private beach and swimming hole only a short walk away, guests will be able to have fun splashing around in the water on hot days or simply enjoy the breathtaking views through the peaceful forest leading up to the sandy shore. With 3 designated camper/RV spots and 5 tent areas, this is the perfect get away spot to accommodate large families or family + friend groups of up to 18 persons (children under 2 for free!) ***groups over 12 is an additional $5/person. The whole site as photographed is yours to privately enjoy! The camping space is equipped with a covered camp shack that houses a propane BBQ, picnic tables and plenty of room for your group to come together away from the weather! In addition, there is a playground right next to the camp shack for children to enjoy...and for the adults- a 3 hammock hangout space (hammocks provided). For all ages to enjoy you will find horseshoe pits as well! Nestled into a quiet corner of the campsite is a secluded fire pit area for roasting marshmallows and late night stories (for guests convenience there is firewood available for purchase on site). Guests are welcome to use the clean + well maintained outhouse on site. Next to the camp space is an operating regenerative agricultural farm. We are more than happy to give your group a farm tour during your stay! Only 15 minutes from the site are the towns of Eckville (East) and Leslieville (West) for groceries, restaurants, gas stations, etc. Approximately 30 minutes away is the busy beach and boardwalk of Sylvan lake, a very popular summer destination! 1.5 - 2 hours away are the beautiful sights of Nordegg and Abraham lake, these would both make for a beautiful day trip during your stay if desired.

Tent

Had a wonderful time camping with my giant doggo. Lots of space to gallop. The little path leading to the swimming hole was our favourite part. Everything was clean, well-thought out, and cared for. We had complete privacy but felt very safe as a lone female camper as we knew Brooke was nearby. Also: COWS!

Great Place for Groups of 12

Tent · With pets

I loved the tenting area. Was away from the firepit so anyone who wanted to sleep early wasn't bothered. The cows coming by was a bonus. Tons of open space for activities. I'll definitely be back

Privacy and Amenities

20 ft campervan · Group trip

A beautiful space to unplug and enjoy some time outdoors. Totally private and well-appointed site with outhouse, covered structure for cooking, and access to a wonderful swimming hole are highlights. Brooke was a very responsive host and helpful before and during our stay. Have already booked again. Strongest recommendation!

We had an incredible time camping with our giant dog! The space is rural and private which is great when you have a dog but still close enough to town if you need anything. Brooke really took the time to ensure her guests are taken care of. The amenities were clean and directions were clear. The pavilion is such a great idea! We’ve been to our share of camping sites and this was the first time we experienced having a shelter. We would love to come back and have recommended this site to our family and friends. Thanks again!
