General Information
Information
The Watson Creek Campground is a large campground located adjacent to the McLeod River at the confluence of Watson Creek and the McLeod River. Reservations are recommended but not required – There are 15 sites available for reservations and 24 on a first-come, first-served basis. There are six walk-in tenting only sites. There is also a group firepit easily accessible from sites 14 to 20.
The road is accessible by two-wheel drive, but there can be snow on the campground road well into the first two weeks of May.
Activities
Fishing for rainbow trout, whitefish, and bull trout in McLeod River is the main recreational activity. This campsite is also used by people using the Whitehorse Wildland Park, which is located less than 20 kilometres to the west.
How to Get Here
When travelling west from Edmonton, turn left (south) onto Highway 40, approximately four kilometres past the town of Hinton. Follow Highway 40 south just over 50 kilometres until a major "T" intersection is met. Instead of turning right into the hamlet of Cadomin, turn left (east). Follow this road for approximately 8 kilometres until the campsite is found on the left side of the road. It is well signed.
