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.
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. This campsite is also used by people using the new 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 4 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.
