About Us
If you love nature, the birds and wildlife, the peace and tranquility, if you want to have an RV camping experience but don't want to fuss with the inconvenience, added risk, and high costs of an awkward RV and tow vehicle or if you are an astronomy fan looking for a dark sky preserve to map the night sky, then The Battle River Crossing Resort has what you need!
The Battle River Crossing Resort is only an hour east from both Stettler and Camrose in east central Alberta. We are nestled in a quiet and secluded bend in the beautiful Battle River Valley. Surrounded by wildlife and river you can enjoy nature or learn about healthy organic farming nearby.
Living on the nearby family farm that was homesteaded by his grandfather nearly 100 years ago, owners Don and Eileen Blumhagen have chosen to share their wonderful river locaton and provide an experience you won't want to leave.
Leave all stress and hassle at home! One breath of the sweet aromatic river air is all it will take to convince and relax you. All you need to bring with you is bedding, food and sufficient clothing. We provide the rest along with a refreshing and rejuvenating experience that cannot be beaten or matched!
One of our most popular attractions here at the Battle is floating. Depending on the year floating is best in June and July. Floating can be 20 minutes, 45 minutes or up to two hours and you are still on the resort. From one beach to another beach is a nice trip where you can leave your vehicle or walk back to your campsite, enjoying a scenic hike through the trees.
Another fun thing to do is disc golfing. Free if you are staying with us, this 9 “hole” course is sure to challenge you if you are a serious player. If you are out for the fun, you are guaranteed a great time!
