How to Get Here
From Highway 16, turn north (right if travelling from Edmonton) onto Switzer Drive (this is the first exit into Hinton when travelling from Edmonton or the easternmost exit when travelling from Jasper). Continue down Switzer Drive until reaching a T-intersection (approximately 1 kilometre). Turn right. Follow this road for approximately 500 metres and take the first left (onto a large well-maintained gravel road). This road travels down and crosses the Athabasca River. Just before crossing the Athabasca River Bridge, you will be on an active logging/hauling road. Drive with extreme caution.
After crossing the Athabasca River Bridge, you will be on the Willow Road (also called the "W" road). Follow the "W" road for approximately 21 kilometres (kilometre signs are posted on the side of the road), until an intersection on the left side of the road is reached (near the W25 road sign). This is the Polecat Road (also known as the "P" road). Turn left here and travel for approximately 8 kilometres (to the "P" 33-kilometre road sign) and then turn right (there are signs indicating Petite Lake). Follow this road for approximately four kilometres until you arrive at the campground entrance.
There are direction signs to Petite Lake Campground and every major road intersection once you’re on the Willow Road.
