Default Best place to camp next weekend?

Im hoping to find a camping spot not to much more then 2 hours away from Edmonton. Where I have the best opportunity to catch fish preferably walleye.
I looked at some availabilities and so far I found some sites on the brazeau, long lake prov and jarvis lake. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.
Out of the three I have what one has the best fishing? Going to be doing some shore and canoe fishing.
Thanks for the help

I did a tour by Brazeau last week for work and that looks like an amazing place to camp. From that I heard from some of the other guys up there it's also a killer place for fishing.

There are some private campgrounds at Lac Labiche and that's just a bit farther up the road from Long Lake Prov Park.

If you wanted to fish RB trout instead of walleye I'd say Carson Pegasus Prov Park just north of Whitecourt.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Would the campsite be all booked up by now for calling lake? Ill have to google campsites around there.
I like brazeau too for camping but it seems its not very popular for walleye.
How are the rivers around brazeau for walleye?

near the braz you'd be into trout mostly. if you had some smelts you could float one off the bottom of the canal, you can get some pretty impressive pike there.

but mostly trout.

It's a bit past your range but Touchwood has walleye and the bite was on last weekend. We caught an even amount of pike and walleye and all our pike were legal. All were released. There's room at the campground normally.

There is 30-40 km of gravel though. It's just past Lac La Biche.
