About
Emerson Lakes Campground is found in Sundance Provincial Park, 56 km northeast of Hinton on Emerson Creek Road. The park is off the beaten path, but once you find it, you'll be rewarded with a chain of 5 small lakes and about 7 km of trails to explore. You can fish, canoe, or take an electric powered boat on the lakes and view the hoodoos on the Wild Sculpture Trail.
Operated by West Fraser Mills-Fox Creek Development Association.
Unreserved sites are available on a first come, first served basis.
Reservations: The campground is managed by West Fraser Mills. Visit their website for reservation information.
Firewood: No charge firewood available at campground.
Water: Please bring your own water. Water from the hand pump/tap is not safe for consumption or use and should only be used to put out fires.
