Adrian met us as we pulled in and told us we were at the right spot. He showed us where we could park and told us the grassy area was ours to use. He offered us whatever we needed to make our stay pleasant. Later in the evening he and his son had to move the ducks and goose to the barn. They checked with us to make sure we were ok with that. Afterwards we had a great visit with both of them. The place was very relaxing. Definitely a great host and a great place to stay.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay on Adrian’s land. Adrian and his family made us feel very welcome. We loved seeing them round up the ducks and geese each evening, and even got to hold some recently hatched baby ducks. We purchased fresh chicken eggs which were delicious and dry firewood that allowed us to have a wonderful fire one evening. Great communication from host, easy parking with private space and conveniently located close to Jasper National Park. Highly recommend!

The camp is conveniently located just outside Jasper national park, about 40 from Jasper on a scenic road. It is in a great position to access Miette Hot Springs and the nearby town of Hinton with its associated amenities.
The staff are friendly and the pitches are a generous size with a picnic table and fire pit.
Large wood is free, but you’ll need an axe to make it useful. Alternatively firewood can be bought from reception.
The washrooms are clean and well maintained. However there are no laundry facilities. There is a laundromat 15 mins drive away in Hinton.
There is a reading room with book exchange and games to borrow on site, with regular organised activities for children.
The road to Jasper was full of wildlife including bears, sheep and elk.
A fully serviced site, reasonable priced.

The washrooms were clean and had hot water, which was great. The campground is relatively small, and the campsites are quite close to each other, so there’s not much privacy. Conveniently located not too far from Jasper — a great stop for campers heading north past the park.

Liebevoll gestalteter Platz. Sehr gepflegt. Wird gerade noch erweitert.
Süßer Bachlauf mit Blümchen und Sitzgelegenheiten quer durch die Anlage. Unser Platz 8 lag direkt neben diesem.
WC und Dusche neu und sehr sauber.
Wenn die Anlage ganz fertig ist, sicher schnell ausgebucht.

Where to go
William A. Switzer Provincial Park
In the foothills of the northern Rockies is William A. Switzer Provincial Park. It surrounds a chain of five lakes—Gregg Lake, Graveyard Lake, Cache Lake, Blue Lake, and Jarvis Lake. Year-round recreational activities from canoeing and water skiing to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing entertain campers in any season. Spend the day on the lakes fishing for whitefish and northern pike, and retire to a tent or RV campsite with potable water, hot showers, and full hookups. For more intrepid campers, primitive campsites are available with self-registration among pine, spruce, and aspen forests. Many provide access to pit toilets and wood stoves for winter camping, as well.
Wildhorse Lake Provincial Recreation Area
Wildhorse Lake offers fishing opportunities from non-motorized or electric boats. It’s also a popular site for winter ice fishing. The lake water is extremely cold, so swimming isn’t advisable, but summer campers can hike, cycle, or geocache in the forest and grasslands of the area. Wildhorse Lake’s walk-in and drive-up tent and RV campsites all have fire pits, fish-cleaning stations, pit toilets, and a pier for non-stop exploration. In winter, campers skate on the lake and snowmobile across trails. Winter campsites are also available, starting in February.
Jasper National Park
Jasper National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as the second largest dark sky preserve. Set in the Canadian Rockies, the park hosts camping accommodations year-round. Summer is most popular, when it’s advisable to make an advance campsite reservation. Winter camping is available in tent and RV campgrounds with full hookups and hot showers. Furnished glamping options from oTENTik provide beds and heaters. Backcountry, primitive and dispersed campsites allow campers to sleep next to famous landmarks like Mount Edith Cavell, Athabasca Falls, and Miette Hot Springs. Then wake up and hike multi-use trails across the park to see natural wildlife. Or rent a bike from a bike shop to see it all on wheels.
When to go
Hinton’s comfortable summers see highs of 21°C and lows of 5°C. This time of year is great for fishing and outdoor recreation. Freezing, snowy winters with temperatures ranging from -13°C to 3°C create perfect conditions for ice fishing, snow shoeing, and cross-country skiing. Most campgrounds offer year-round camping accommodations that provide amenities for each season.
