About this campsite

Jarvis Lake Campground is situated along the quiet eastern shore of Jarvis Lake within William A. Switzer Provincial Park, just 20 minutes north of Hinton.

The campground features 25 powered sites set amidst trembling aspen and lodgepole pine trees, providing a serene lakeside atmosphere for campervans, trailers, and tenters.

It serves as a primary hub for non-motorized watersports, featuring a boat dock for canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards, as well as access to the Kelley's Bathtub day-use area.

Quiet little gem on Jarvis Lake. Loved launching our SUPs right from the campground shore in the morning.
