About
Halfway and Graveyard Lake campgrounds are found in William A. Switzer Provincial Park, 3 km west of Hinton on Hwy. 16, 19 km north on Hwy. 40, and a few km southeast on a gravel access road. These two small camping areas include open sites suitable for RVs and tents. Many sites back directly on to Jarvis Creek. Graveyard Lake and Cache Lake are both within short walking distance on interpretive trails, and provide a peaceful setting for paddling or fishing. A stocked trout pond is nearby as well. There are many activities and amenities in the park, including a beach, boat launches, trails, interpretive programs, and showers within short driving distance.
Firewood: Firewood is available for purchase at Switzer Park Visitor Centre and Gregg Lake Campground Booth during peak season (hours vary).
Water: Please bring your own water. Water from the hand pump at Cache Lake Campground is not safe for consumption or use and should only be used to put out fires.
