Loved this place so much we returned two weeks later! The owners are so kind and the location is beautiful! There are lots of options whether you prefer a tent site, yurt or a cabin! I would highly recommend staying here as it’s just 10 minutes from Waterton and the in town sites are typically booked a year out!

Fabulous campground!! We were aware that we wouldn't have water at the site, but we did have 50 amp electricity! The owner helped us out by showing us we could fill up our water tank with their well water and how to do it (first time in an RV). In the evening, we were picked up by tractor and cart and brought to the store where his daughter gave a lovely demonstration on spinning wool and how rugs are made! They then took us out to meet the goats and bunnies that supply the wool! Just a lovely, informative evening! The views are worth a million bucks alone! Full sky range of the rocky mountains! This is an extremely family friendly campground that's run with such love and care for their campground! Each year they add something new to improve it for the next year! Definitely would come back to this campground!

Stay here if you want a good price, rocks throw distance to Waterton/Red Rocks and a wonderful staff. They have a great gift shop where you can buy hand made items and lots of local history that they are more then welcoming to teach you about. Will always come back here to camp when we go to the area. They have A Frame mini cabin they rent out on Airbnb and 3 canopy style permanent tenats they also have available. Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality!!

We had the most amazing time staying in the yurts. Had the opportunity to talk to Eugene and he gave us the royal tour of the property. Showing us all the different animals, the beautiful homes he has built, and the weaving area. Such a lovely area to stay near Waterton, I would highly recommend and came back again. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for the morning coffee. 🙏🏼😊🏔️ we wish you all the best from your Ontario friends.
