Rock Lake
General Information
Information
The Rock Lake Provincial Recreation Area is a large sprawling campground with 104 campsites located along the shores and slopes of Rock Lake within the Rock Lake Provincial Park. See campground map. There are 46 sites available for reservations and 58 on a first-come, first-served basis. There are 18 equestrian sites and these sits are only for parties with horses (First Equestrian and Second Equestrian) and 11 walk-in tent-only sites (Hikers Home and Middle Moose).
In the summer, this road can be driven in a two-wheel drive vehicle. The road can be rough, so drive accordingly.
Activities
This campground has equestrian facilities, so it is a popular place for people camping or staging with horses. Many people use this campground as a staging area for access into the adjacent Wilmore Wilderness Park for both hiking, hunting, and horseback riding. There are several maintained hiking trails within the campground and also a playground on the Green Mountain Loop. Rock Lakes provides fishing opportunities for lake trout and northern pike.
How to Get Here
From the west end of Hinton travel east for approximately six kilometres and then turn north onto Highway 40. Follow Highway 40 for approximately 45 kilometres until a road is encountered on the left (west) side of the Highway called the Rock Lake Road (well signed). Follow this road, keeping to the main road for approximately 31 kilometres - it ends at the Rock Lake campground. There are occasionally logging trucks and other large vehicles using portions of the Rock Lake Road - drive with extreme caution.
