What visitors say
Hunt Creek Campground is a small, wooded campground outside Hinton, and many guests use it as a base for Jasper and the Rockies. A creek runs through the property, and tent campers cross a little bridge to secluded sites that one family compared to a fairy forest. Kids enjoy playing in the water, watching muskrats in the morning and bats at dusk.
The property changed hands recently, and reviewers are enthusiastic about the new owners: quick replies, friendly welcomes, and help finding a powered site for travellers who arrived late in the rain. There are serviced RV sites, cabins and a bunkhouse with a fridge and cooktop, a covered cooking area with barbecues, fire pits and a shower house. Firewood is inexpensive and can be delivered to your site, and self check-in works for late arrivals.
It suits tenters, families, motorcyclists and RVers wanting a quieter, cheaper alternative to town. Several reviewers describe the sites as large and the value as good.
Not everyone agrees. One RVer paid for full hookups but found the site unserviced and the washrooms without water. Another found it very rustic, with no Wi-Fi at their site and loud highway and train noise day and night. Confirm your site's services and Wi-Fi when booking, and bring earplugs if you sleep lightly.
