The camp sites are well treed with good privacy located in the surrounding Aspen and Spruce forest. The parks lakes are located a short drive from here so if you have children it may be better to stay at the nearby Greg Lake Campground. Jarvis Creek has good Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout fishing. Nearby Greg Lake has good Northern Pike Fishing. There is also a stocked trout pond very close to here, you'll need a fishing license to try your luck. William A. Switzer Provincial Park has it all. There is lots to do here for both adults and children. I'd call this area the Swiss Army Knife of camping as it has a bit of everything. Hikers and Mountain Bikers will find more then 9 well groomed single track trails throughout the park. The Athabasca Lookout Nordic Centre is located here. This Nordic Centre provides world class cross country skiing and mountain bike trails. The 1994 World Cup Biathlon Race was held at this venue. William Switzer Provincial Park is a canoers and kayakers dream. Several of the lakes are connected by crystal clear streams that can be accessed with small watercraft. William A. Switzer Provincial Park also attracts a large variety of wildlife and migrating waterfowl. It is a great place for birders and wildlife watchers. Gregg Lake Campground, Jarvis Lake Campground, Graveyard Campground and Halfway Campground are all located in this park. Night skies here rank # 4.5 on the Bortle Scale. This is Bear country, food and food related items must be stored properly. See the official web site link below for fees, opening and closing dates.
