The McLeod River (South) Campground is a beautiful 29-site campground located adjacent to the confluence of the Gregg and McLeod Rivers. This campground was newly constructed in 2010 through a partnership between Hinton Wood Products and Alberta Tourism, Parks, and Recreation. It is the first new campground constructed in the Foothills region in decades.
The road is accessible by 2-wheel drive. FRMA provides firewood free of charge.
Activities
Fishing for rainbow trout, eastern brook trout, whitefish and bull trout in McLeod River is the main recreational activity at this new campground. There are also hiking and mountain bike opportunities in the area. This campground can also be used as a pick-up or take-out point for canoeing trips down the McLeod River.
There is a 5 picnic site day-use area located along the McLeod River.

Drive with extreme caution (please review our “Exploring Managed Forest Lands” section). Follow the Robb Road (also known as the "R" road) for approximately 28 kilometres (the "R"28 sign).
