Default Edson To Nordegg camping

Hey,

Doing a trip with the family to Invermere area in August. I'll be going from Edson down the Robb highway to Nordegg and over to Invermere. I'm leaving after work and as i have a 3 year old and newborn I don't intend on driving very far the first night. Hoping to random camp somewhere about 2 hours from Edson. I have a 23 foot bumper pull. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a spot along that stretch. Prefer not a provincial site. I was looking at google maps and a Blackstone/Chungo/FTR comes up right where the trunk road crosses the Blackstone River. Can you camp there? Can't seem to find much info.

Any suggestions are appreciated

Thanks

I would bet you will have no trouble finding a hole in the woods so to speak like a gravel pit, logging site etc to crash for the night when the time comes. Thats a nice stretch of scenic road. Been a while since i made that route. Have to do it again soon.

Bpoppa, there's camping around there for sure. Depending on how close to the weekend you go will decide if you can find a spot or not. It gets pretty busy, especially around the long weekends.

There's also some camping along Chungo Road if you're a bit further south.

It will be the long weekend. We leave Edson on August 3rd spend the one night somewhere and then straight to Invermere for the weekend. On the way back we'll make the trip in one shot I think....depending how the kids are doing.

Yup there's lots of camping along there. I've hunted in that area a few times.
Just find a likely looking spot and help yourself/make yourself at home.

There's a real nice spot right on the south side of the Blackstone right off the FTR. Just 5 min North is the Brown Creek Provincial campground. It's run by the forest company so dirt cheap (10 or$11.00) and they supply firewood. Two options for you.
