Lovett River
General Information
Information
The Lovett River Campground is a medium-sized campground located adjacent to the Lovett River.
This campground, previously run as a group campground, is now available for all campers.
There are no reservations for this campground. Campsites are on a first come, first served basis. Due to its relatively remote location, this campground receives low use, so not having reservations is not an issue.
Activities
Fishing for rainbow trout, whitefish, and bull trout in Lovett River is the main recreational activity (check fishing regulations before fishing). There are also unmaintained hiking trails in the area and the river is a popular place for canoeing.
How to Get Here
When travelling west from Edmonton, at the first set of lights coming into the town of Hinton, turn left (Switzer Drive). Follow Switzer Drive for approximately 1 kilometre to the next set of lights (Robb Road). Turn right. Robb road is an active logging/hauling road. Drive with extreme caution. Follow the Robb Road (also known as the "R" road) for approximately 50 kilometres until the junction with Highway 47 (at the town of Robb). Turn right onto Highway 47, and follow this road for approximately 10 kilometres, until Highway 40 is reached (Hwy 47 turns into Hwy 40 at this point). Turn left onto Highway 40. Follow Highway 40 south for approximately 18 kilometres.
The Lovett River Campground is on the right side of the road. Alternatively, if you are travelling from Edmonton, you can turn left (south) onto Highway 47 just west of Edson, and follow this road until the junction with Highway 40 is reached, then follow the above-noted directions.
