(0 reviews) A well-appointed campground in Cherhill with a wide range of amenities designed for a comfortable, hassle-free stay. Luxury off-grid glamping on a private lake in Alberta, featuring geo domes and tiny homes, wood-fired hot tubs, and peaceful nature across a stunning four-season retreat. Refuge Bay is a unique, four-season glamping destination set on hundreds of acres of pristine parkland in rural Alberta. Centered around a serene private wetland lake, this peaceful retreat offers an immersive nature experience with the added comfort of thoughtfully designed accommodations. Guests can choose between striking geodesic domes or fully equipped tiny homes and cottages. The domes provide a more traditional off-grid experience—without electricity or running water inside—while still offering cozy essentials like wood stoves, propane fireplaces, outdoor cooking setups, and nearby private washroom facilities. For those seeking more modern convenience, the tiny homes include electricity, climate control, kitchenettes, and spa-inspired bathrooms, blending rustic charm with upscale comfort. The setting is designed for relaxation and connection with nature. Each site includes a fire pit and BBQ for outdoor cooking, while additional amenities such as wood-fired saunas, hot tubs (available for rent), and heated shower facilities elevate the stay. Guests can also enhance their visit with add-ons like charcuterie boxes or s’mores kits for a cozy, curated experience. Outdoor activities are a highlight at Refuge Bay. Paddleboarding and kayaking are available on the calm lake, while the surrounding land offers ample space for exploring, wildlife viewing, and snowshoeing in the winter. Nearby attractions include Alberta Beach for swimming and summer markets, as well as local distilleries and horseback riding experiences within a short drive. With its quiet, uncrowded atmosphere and focus on off-grid simplicity, Refuge Bay is ideal for couples, small groups, or anyone looking to unplug and recharge. Whether you’re watching the sunset over the lake, enjoying a sauna in the woods, or exploring the natural landscape, this glamping retreat delivers a memorable balance of comfort, privacy, and outdoor adventure. ### What This Campground Offers #### For Campers ##### Bathroom & Essentials Restrooms Laundry Showers Drinking Water Shuttle Service Parking Fire Pits ##### Recreation & Fun Hot Tub ##### Food & Convenience Firewood ##### Connectivity Wifi ##### Water Access Lake Access Fishing #### For Your RV ##### Camping Types Cabins ##### RV Specifications ADA Accessible #### Rules & Policies Not Allowed Pets Quiet Hours Evenings Ask Host Generators Allowed Campfires Only use the designated fire pits; do not cut down trees for firewood.
