A Glamping Haven Hidden Along Calgary's Bow River
Nestled on the banks of the Bow River, The Farol is a private luxurious glamping experience for those wishing to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature. Leave the little ones behind and connect to the elements in your very own peaceful haven.
Thoughtfully limited, purposefully simple
Welcome to The Farol
Nestled on the banks of the Bow River, The Farol —meaning 'lighthouse' — stands as a beacon for those seeking sanctuary within Calgary's embrace. This year-round urban glamping haven welcomes one guest or group at a time, offering pristine nature and absolute tranquility within city limits.
Who is this for?
The Farol calls to different people for different reasons. Which one are you?
The Angler
Practice your fly-fishing cast in the world-class Bow River with no commute. Step directly from your door as dawn breaks and back again as the sun sets.
The Artist
Paint, draw, write, observe. Allow the ever-changing river light to stir your creative inspiration. No distractions. Let nature be your muse.
The Yogi
Deepen your practice with the earth beneath you, the Bow River beside you and nature’s wildlife around you. Cool off with a mindful dip in the crisp cool waters.
The Reward-Seeker
Celebrating a win? Recovering from one? Gift yourself a unique space to rejuvenate, connect and wind down at sunset by firelight.
The Leader
Founders. Creators. Executives. Those who carry weight for others. This is your off-grid boardroom – for your close-knit group or just yourself.
Where simplicity feels complete
Three distinct elevated glamping structures create a magical riverside space where fly fishers practice their cast, artists find inspiration in the dance of eagles overhead, and yogis connect with the earth's grounding energy. A place where 'a river runs through it' isn't just a phrase —it's your daily reality.
The Farol is open year-round. Each season tells a new story.
-
Spring – Stoneflies hatch. Eagles fish. Trees bud. The air hums with return.
-
Summer – Long light. Bare feet. Cold river swims and warm nights.
-
Fall – Fire-coloured trees. Slow mornings. Quiet resets.
-
Winter – Silence. Frost. Snow falls as the ice cracks. Coyotes cross the frozen river.
