August 2006 — "Watson Creek is a fair sized campground just off the McLeod River. My family has enjoyed the area for over 30 years now. It provides seclusion from the everyday. Beauty and wild life surround you. The days are warm but the nights are cold because of the mountain elevation so be sure to bring warm clothing and bedding. The sites are very basic, but very clean. The pump water is fresh but still should be boiled for drinking. They just recently built a shelter over the wood to keep it dry which we are very grateful for. (And the wood is free which is very nice!) The tables still provide seating but are in a desperate need of repair! The outhouses are, well, outhouses but are cleaned out once every weekday and once on the weekends. If the campground is full you might need to bring some of your own toilet paper. The river is not stocked very well for fishing. I like the fact that there is a little hamlet nearby because there is no cell phone service available or local radio. Cadomin is less than 10 minutes away and Hinton is only 30 minutes away. "
