GPS that address to verify time of drive from your home. It is approximately 1Hr,45Mins drive South of Edmonton, 2Hrs,15Mins drive Northeast of Calgary and 40Mins drive mostly East of Red Deer.

BarW RV Resort is open. All 314 individual sites are complete. The playground and the pickleball courts are finished. The Store/ Laundry/ Grill/ Washroom building is complete with more items added to the shelves every day. The Water Slide/ Swimming Pool/ Sprinkler Park has a completion target date of September 2024. As far as the main site utilities, all are connected and operating – 50 amp power, County treated water line and community sewer.

No, if you are looking for more of a mountain-like, heavily treed resort, BarW is not that. The original use of the lands was as a cattle meadow. Now, we have already planted over 300 8-10 foot trees with another 350 trees scheduled for planting throughout the 314 sites in 2025 and 2026 so as the property matures we will have good tree coverage. But on the plus side, our views of beautiful Buffalo Lake are amazing from anywhere on the Resort!

We took over the property in Fall, 2019, after another project group was unable to advance the development. We obtained a new Development Permit in 2023 and have successfully moved the project forward. We hope to see you soon.

Our rules allow for gas powered golf carts. Please contact us for more information regarding electric carts.
