Quiet Little Camping Community in the Prairies

The camping season has officially begun, and we are thrilled to celebrate our 5th anniversary today. Since 2018, my parents, Michael and Monica, my wife, Cindy, and I have poured our hearts and souls into this campground. We want to extend a sincere thank you to the Lamb family, as well as all the friends and family who have supported us over the years. We look forward to sharing our development stories and photos with you soon—it is hard to believe this was a wheat field not long ago. And yes, the trees are growing!

We talk a lot about the Community of Milo and what a gem it is. There are a lot of rural towns in Alberta and few hold a light to Milo. It is a small community but good things come in small packages. Our family homesteaded here in 1914 and proud to still call it home. Why has 5 generations stayed in the same area? The answer is simple, good land and great people. More than once the community of Milo has raised more per capita for the Terry Fox Run than anywhere else in all of Canada! Thats says something!

We strive to be good hosts, we exude the same rural hospitality to our guests as we do our family, friends and neighbours. I think community helps us to feel connected to something bigger, there is a sense of belonging and support. Community is good for your physical health as much as it is for your mental health. When Googling the benefits of community it hits the nail on the head.

“Community offers essential, multifaceted support by providing a sense of belonging, reduced isolation, and improved mental health. It facilitates social connection, shared values, and mutual aid, which helps individuals cope with life’s challenges, lowers stress, and encourages healthier lifestyles.

Key benefits of a community include:
• Emotional & Mental Well-being: Reduces loneliness, stress, and anxiety while increasing happiness and self-esteem.
• Support System: Offers practical, social, and emotional support during difficult times.
• Shared Identity & Belonging: Fosters a feeling of being part of something larger, providing purpose and acceptance.
• Growth & Development: Promotes personal growth through the exchange of ideas, skills, and experiences.
• Improved Physical Health: Linked to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and better habits like regular exercise.
• Collective Action: Enables, drives positive change, and fosters trust, cooperation, and security.

Types of communities can range from local neighborhoods to professional networks and hobby groups, all serving as a “crucible for change” and a foundation for a satisfying life.”

I think talk is cheap, always believed that actions speak louder than words. We’re awfully proud of our Google reviews speaking so kindly of us, we are 5 stars strong for good reason. We care, and we treat all of our guests with the same respect that we hope to receive in kind. When we state that we are “a quiet little camping community in the prairies” it’s true and we invite you to experience the difference. We’re not a corporation, we’re a farm family opening our doors to you.

Our Farmer’s Markets are now open to the public and we’ll be posting dates and times shortly. It’s a free day out of the city, stop by and say hi, you can even leave with some fresh buns and veggies 🙂

Thanks for reading.
