The Government is watching a lot of potential revenue camping for free and riding trails for free. They want a piece of the pie. Part of the plan is to expand current provincial campgrounds and possibly build new ones. Plus add trail user fees and limit areas that atvs can go so it is easier to keep atv users in a confined space so the laws can be enforced. Mclean Creek could be considered the pilot project for future planning. ATV friendly campgrounds that exit on to maintained trails that are monitored heavily. Fish Lake Provincial Park west of Nordegg just added an atv friendly group camp site last year. That project never would have happened if the Province wanted to shut everything down. They just want revenue money.
There are more rv'ers and atv users than ever before but the Province has not built a new campground in decades. It's no wonder the random spots are getting over used.
