Wheatley Provincial Park is a cute little campground in Southwestern Ontario, with plenty of waterfront sites. Here’s our park review, and the ultimate guide to camping at Wheatley Provincial Park
Originally posted April 26, 2024. Updated on April 16, 2026.
Our first trip of the season took us out along the shores of Lake Erie - 2 campgrounds, plus a couple of trips into Point Pelee National Park.
It was a short trip, but packed with a lot of fun, and some very cool sites. We spent a lot of time birding, as along the north shore of Lake Erie is a great place for that, AND timing was perfect!
We enjoyed it so much, we repeated the trip in April 2025!
Wheatley’s considered Ontario’s “deep south” park, and is located at the same latitude as Northern California.
Having lived in Minnesota for 12 years, and dragged my Minnesotan husband home with me... I’m not sure that the jokes about how we “moved south” will ever get old, LOL.
Anyway, this park was a bit of a weird one for us.
You know how sometimes, something will look great on paper and just NOT be? This was one was possibly the first time we’ve encountered the opposite of that!
... but then when it came time to write the review and go over every category specifically... it sounds kinda bad on paper.
And, really, if you have mobility issues at all, you should definitely consider a different park. Had I been having a bad go of my tendons during our trip, we would have had an entirely different experience.
Anyway, let’s just get to the details of both trips, and you can sort it out for yourself!

Logistics
Some basic information to help you plan your trip to Wheatley Provincial Park:
Registration and Check In
Our first time at the park, pulling up was a little confusing.
We could see a drive through window AND a door. We went to the window to start - couldn’t see in, no one came by, so we pulled around and went in.
As it turns out, we could have used the window - the big glare prevented us from seeing there WAS someone there, she was just helping someone else.
Friendly service, as always.
As of our second stay - in April 2025 - the park is paperless for the campsite permits, but they did issue paper permits for the Daily Vehicle Permit for your driving car. That is to say, not for our site or motorhome, just for the towed car.
As of April 2026, registration was fully paperless.

Maps and Signage
Some basic information to help you get around Wheatley Provincial Park.
Park Map
The Wheatley park map is a folded 1 page sheet, pretty clear, no complaints.
I will say it gets a bit confusing in the area near the radio free loop’s comfort station, but that’s more a matter of park layout, than the map itself.
PDF versions of each of the maps represented on the paper map are available on the park’s website:
Wheatley Provincial Park Map
Boosey Campground Map
Highlands, Middle Creek, and Two Creeks Campground Maps
One thing I will note is that there is no real information about the trails, either on the map or on the site - There are a couple of trails marked on the map, that’s about it.
Weirdly, one of the trails we came across in person isn’t indicated on the map or the website, etc. A bit frustrating - I’ll get into this more in the hiking section.

Signage
The signage was pretty good - nothing really wrong with it.
It’s more that the layout of the roads can be confusing - especially around the entrance to the Boosey Creek campground - and the signage is just OK.
A bit bigger / more contrast might be nice, but that’s about it - no real complaints!
Waste & Water Services
There’s a fill station as you go into registration, off to the right of the check in area. If you don’t pull in there *first*, you have to do another loop around the whole area to get back to it.
It’s set up as 2 fill platforms in a row, 1 lane, no real way to bypass once you’re in that lane.
The dump station is down an offshoot street from that section, headed towards the beach access area.
There are two separate dump platforms, one seems new. Also, there’s a secondary fill station just beyond the dump platforms.
In 2026, this was updated from a tap, to the more standard post-type fill station like at the front of the park (and most Provincial Parks.)
Are you supposed to bring one to your site? Just fill them up at the garbage station? No idea.
Update in 2025: The park map now has a section talking about the recycling program. It says:
“Recycling bins can be found at the recycling stations located near the entrance of each of the 4 campgrounds. Please take a recycling bin to your site with you if you wish. Once you are done with it, please return the full bin to the recycling station where it will be picked up and sorted by park staff. Firewood/kindling bags are not reusable.”

Connectivity
Cell reception - on Rogers Wireless - seemed pretty decent throughout our trip - we were even able to stream some Netflix on a rainy night, all three trips!
There’s no park wifi, as far as we can tell.
Accessibility
This is definitely not the most accessible park we’ve ever been to. Let’s break it down into categories:
Barrier-Free Facilities
First of all, there’s no accessibility information on the park website. Are the comfort stations accessible? Toilets? No idea - we don’t use the comfort station washrooms!
Update in April 2025: The current park map lists each of the comfort stations as “accessible washrooms, showers, laundry, and information boards”. I’d like to think there’s accessible showers, but it seems weird to have the single “Accessible” apply to laundry and information boards.
Update in April 2026: This time around, we checked out each comfort station to see what the deal is:
All comfort stations have at least one (I think 2) barrier-free showers. It’s ... a shower. There’s a bench, a low set of controls for the shower head, 2 of the 3 did not have a handheld sprayer.
The comfort station between Highlands and Middle Creek had the best barrier-free shower facilities, including that hand-held sprayer.
In terms of the washrooms, the barrier free washroom in each is a single stall in an older style larger washroom, rather than a self contained stall with separate entrance. They all seemed to have a pretty narrow aisle/ “hall” between the stalls and the outer wall, to get to the sinks.
Probably technically wheelchair accessible, just a tight fit.
Also: The washroom building next to site #130 has a barrier-free symbol on it. This is the only one we *noticed* to have that designation - and it’s not marked as such on the map.
Row 2: Barrier Free Showers in Boosey Creek and Two Creeks
Row 3: Barrier Free Shower in Highlands, Accessible Outhouse
Barrier Free Camping
Campsites 105 and 156 are the two barrier-free campsites at Wheatley Provincial Park. 105 is in Highlands, 156 is in Middle Creek.
Both are basic electrical campsites - they have the regular picnic table and fire pit, rather than wheelchair accessible versions. The weird thing is that both have a new picnic table top - you’d think they’d do the longer side, when re-doing it!
In terms of location, 156 is not directly across from the comfort station, but it’s close. 105 is across from a comfort station, but around a corner - there’s a path cut through some trees to get to the road that runs behind that line of campsites, with the comfort station on the other side of the road.
105 is the one closer to the better comfort station, in terms of accessible facilities. Really, it’s just a nicer comfort station overall.
Bottom: Site 156
Barrier-Free Activities
In general, if you’re a wheelchair user, you’re not going to find much to do in this park.
The trails aren’t super accessible. If the conditions are dry, you could do them in a boot, maybe with a cane.. But possibly not with a knee scooter, crutches, or a wheelchair.
It’s a bit rough. Possibly technically accessible, but definitely not wheelchair *friendly*.
I would definitely be afraid to cross the foot bridge in a wheelchair, if it’s even considered accessible. (REALLY doubt it, though) Hell, I don’t think I’d do it on one of my less-stable days, never mind if I was on a boot or whatever - it’s VERY wonky.
2026 Update: They’ve now completely replaced the bridge, and the new one is NOT wonky at all.
There’s a bollard on each end that splits the width of the entrance. It LOOKS like a tight fit, but we measured - the opening is 33" across. MUCH more accessible now!
Kind of disappointing, after how wildly accessible Rondeau Provincial Park was, immediately before this stop!
Assuming you get over the bridge at a time where the trail on the other side isn’t swampy, you can’t bank on being able to get to the beach. There are very few openings to get down to the actual beach, each are very steep, with wet mud, etc.
It’s a bit better in 2026 - they’ve widened the access points, but they’re still steep and muddy.
We’d previously reported that there’s no parking nearby - now there’s a small pullover parking area pretty close to it, on the campground side of the creek.
Just note: It’s not actually MARKED as being parking, either on the map or in person. It seems that loads of people have used it as parking, but given the lack of actual designation as such - park at your own risk.

Pets
While the park map has rules about not leaving your dog unattended, keeping them leashed at all times, and picking up after them... there’s no info on what you CAN do with them.
So, dogs are allowed, but there don’t seem to be any dog exercise areas, and no information about whether or not they’re allowed in the beach area.
One thing to note: There’s a little setup at the parking lot for the Two Creeks comfort station, with a garbage bin and poop baggie dispenser. We hadn’t noticed that before, might be new.

Parking
There’s plenty of space for parking at most of the camp sites we saw, but parking areas can be pretty sparse in other areas.
The Day use area is only accessible by foot, and the two entry points (Beach Access near the trailer sanitation station, and the footbridge) have very little in the way of parking spaces.
The foot bridge might not actually have parking - there’s one area that seems like it MIGHT be a single parking spot, but it’s not marked as such. The nearest actual parking area is at the comfort station, but there aren’t a lot of spots there, either.
Miscellaneous
Our first visit, we noticed very little in the way of light pollution at Wheatley. Our second visit, the sky was BRIGHT pink at 5:30 am... but to the west, and not in a sunset/sunrise way.
Aurora Borealis activity had been pretty wild leading up to that, but this was definitely way beyond anything you’d expect to see to the naked eye, even WAY far north.
As it turned out, it was clusters of greenhouses over towards Leamington. So... fake aurora borealis lights might drown out your ability to see the real thing, IF there’s a storm that’s strong enough to be seen that far south in the first place.
Also of note: You can see gorgeous sunsets over the creek on west side of the campground.

Campground Amenities & Info
Some information on the amenities at Wheatley Provincial Park:
Creature Comforts
There are comfort stations with showers and flush toilets in Boosey Creek, Highlands and Two Creeks Campgrounds.
These two are both listed - on the map - as having laundry facilities. This is information that is not provided on the park’s website.
The laundry room in the Two Creeks Campground is sketchy. Really old equipment, weird smell, mild horror movie vibes. At first I thought I was hearing electric zapping - like faulty lines or something - but it was just a ton of flies carrying on in the window.
The laundry room in the Highland Campground is basically the opposite - clean, bright, new equipment, no weird smells or sounds. There’s also a ROBUST book lending collection you can borrow from!
As previously mentioned, each comfort station has accessible showers, and a barrier-free toilet stall in a larger washroom.
At some point, we read that there were flush toilets located in the day use area, but had no information about the accessibility of the washroom facilities.
We haven’t seen any washroom facilities over there, and they’re on the map... so I’m not sure what happened there.
Park Store
There’s a little park store in the front office building when you check in. It has a small selection of souvenirs, snacks, etc - pretty basic.
There is no Visitor Centre or dedicated camp store, outside of this one.

Day-Use Area
There’s a small day use area on a kind of peninsula, accessed from a parking area just beyond the dump station, or via the foot bridge from Two Creeks campground.
There’s just some picnic tables on a grassy ledge overlooking the lake.
There apparently are fire pits and water taps, though - we didn’t notice them. I think this must be old information, though.
Per Pokemon Go (A weirdly great resource for points of interest!), there was a playground and picnic shelter out there at some point - that is no longer the case.
Anyway, between the hassle - and lack of accessibility for anyone with mobility issues - and the beach situation (more on that in a bit), this is an absolute dud of a day use area, IMHO.
Rentals
The park’s site mentions that the park is a part of the OFAH Tackleshare Program program.
So, you can borrow completely rigged fishing lines (for a refundable deposit), it just doesn’t give any more details - I’m assuming you’d go to the front gate for that.
There are also Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs) available to borrow ($25 refundable deposit).

Campground Details
While the day use areas are not great, the actual camp sites at Wheatley can be amazing.
There are two main sections of individual camping - basically a regular campground, and a radio-free zone.
On the west side of the park, you’ll find the 3 regular camping areas: Highlands Campground, Two Creeks Campground, and Middle Creek Campground.
Kind of in the middle of the park - on the other side of Sugar Creek - you’ll find Boosey Creek Campground. (Boosey Campground is the radio-free camping area).
In addition to the regular camp sites, there are two larger group camping sites on the east side of the park.
Wheatly Campsites
There are SO MANY CUTE CAMPSITES at Wheatly!
There are a number of creekside campsites, and the ones along the west side of the park (all 3 campgrounds) back out onto an area of creek that was full of Great Egrets during our first stay.
On our second and third stays, we watched eagles fly by our site on multiple occasions!
Anyway, there’s a wide variety of sizes across the camp sites, and some have some pretty wild slopes.
Most sites aren’t super private, with the exception of some of the sites in the Boosey Creek campground. Those seem more “wilderness”-y.
There are no backcountry campsites at Wheatley.
Our Campsite
A lot of the camping in Wheatley takes place in waterfront sites, which is nice.
The first trip, we picked the sole electrical site in the Two Creeks Campground. It’s the southern park, and an area made of primarily non-electrical campsites. We didn’t think it was waterfront, based on the reservation info.
We’d wanted a balance between having electricity, and being near the day use area, and this looked like the best bet.
As it turns out, we ended up with a LOVELY spot - and the cats appreciated the view!

I will say that getting into our site was a bit confusing - it had a V shape thing going on, with 2 entrances to the site, and we weren’t sure if the second was ours, or the next site over.
Also, our site was back to back with another site, and both parties were a bit confused as to where each site started and ended.
Ultimately, we all decided that the power post between the sites was probably a good marker to go on.
April 2025 Update
We had more site confusion on the second stay, even though we were in a different campground - Middle Creek.
This time, we booked a site - 144 - that looked like the whole site was overlooking the water.
... except that the site next to ours was weirdly parallel with ours, kind of cutting in front of the view as it was shown on the reservation page.
The way the vehicle pads and power post are situated do absolutely nothing to clarify the situation, either.
Once again... the cats loved the view. We had SO many birds visiting, it definitely kept them entertained!

April 2026 Update
This time around, we booked 146 - the site that annoyed us last time. The view was fantastic, but yeah - still a weird situation with 144. Thankfully, our neighbours were mostly respectful!
A couple things to note:
1. Though we arrived on opening day, our fire pit was already full of garbage. It was definitely off-putting!
2. It’s rated as “moderate” slope. The way it’s actually situated, if you back your RV in the way you’re supposed to, it’s a STEEP slope to the right / river side. Bring all the blocks you have.. And maybe a few more.
We had to jack the passenger side of the RV up so high, it was like parkour to get in and out of our door - and that’s just getting from our pull out RV step, down to the nice DIY RV Camper Step we made!
The cats, as always, loved the view.

Entertainment and Activity
Some information on the things you can see and do while staying at Wheatley Provincial Park:
Hiking
There are apparently 2 hiking trails in the park (per the site), but there are no real details on the site or on the map.
Per the MAP, there is one small trail marked from the group camping area down to the beach, another hiking trail shown from the sanitation station area, down along the day use peninsula, and another loop near the end of that trail.
NOT shown on the map is a trail running along at least the west side of Sugar Creek.
We saw it when we were checking out the canoe dock, but have no idea how far or where it goes.
Anyway, as far as the peninsula hiking goes...
Once we walked down across the foot bridge to the beach area, we took the remnants of the road that used to be there, to the right.
Honestly, it was a nice enough trail.. Just not super interesting. Maybe we’re spoiled.
Then again, maybe there’s a reason hiking isn’t detailed on the Wheatley Provincial Park site - it’s not really a hiking destination. Good to get a casual walk in, nothing to write home about.
Of note, though: At the part where the paved road ends in a loop, there was a big downed tree. Given the full fall foliage, we figure it had been there a WHILE.
Note: This was 2024, it may have been removed since then.
It went through a wooded area and down to a little beach. Signs discourage swimming there, and there’s a little channel of water separating Wheatley Provincial Park from.. Some other campground.
Next to the paved path, there’s a mowed path - maybe 10 feet away from it - following the length of it. Didn’t seem to be any real reason for it, other than maybe a slightly nicer view of the water?

Path Near the Footbridge
Aside from the straight shot trail along the length of that little peninsula, there’s also a little loop trail that starts where the footbridge hits that peninsula - down and to the right.
That one is narrow, unpaved, and kind of meanders along the north side of the peninsula.
We were only able to get to about the halfway point of the loop - many sections were muddy, and we stopped when we got to a section that was completely flooded out.
Again, a couple of decent scenic sections... but not really a must-see.
Biking
There aren’t any actual bike trails in Wheatley Provincial Park, but the park allows cycling on the roads throughout.
Swimming
We would not really count this among the more beautiful beaches in the area.
The beach area is difficult to access, rocky, and covered in large pieces of driftwood.
Actually, “driftwood” isn’t really accurate. Fully downed trees washed up on shore make for quite the obstacle course!
Apparently the rocks turn to sand a few meters in, but it was too cold for us to check it out.
If you want a really nice beach and swimming area, definitely make the drive to Point Pelee. The long sandy beach there is gorgeous!

Birding, Wildlife, and Nature
Wheatley is a great spot for getting some bird watching in - it’s on a major migratory path!
There were quite a few Turkey Vultures flying overhead when we arrived at the park for the first time, and a TON of egrets in the creek behind our camp site.
At one point we saw about 10 in a smallish area of the creek banks! We also saw a couple of them on Sugar Creek, later that first day.
As always, there were plenty of red winged black birds.
There were also more blue jays than we’ve ever seen anywhere - swarms of them over our campsite. The screeching would have been completely obnoxious, if we hadn’t been so in awe of the sight!
Also: there’s a bald eagle nest down on the beach. While we didn’t see any bald eagles actually flying during our stay, we were lucky enough to see one popping its head up from the nest!
I’ve never seen anything like it in any camp ground we’ve been, to date.
Update in 2025: No egrets this time, which was a shame - we’d booked a creek view site hoping for more of the same!
Still had a TON of Blue Jays at our site, though... and saw more than a dozen deer on the side of the main park road, on the first afternoon alone!
Later on in the trip, we saw bald eagles fly by the back of our site twice, and a few Great Blue Herons did the same, over the course of our stay.
Row 2: Canada Goose, Common Merganser, Downy Woodpecker
Row 3: Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Greater Yellowlegs
Row 4: Northern Flicker, Northern Harrier, Red-Winged Blackbird (f)
Row 5: Ring-Billed Gull, Tree Swallow, Turkey Vulture
Overall - during our 2025 and 2026 trips - we saw and/or heard:
American Crow, American Robin, American Tree Sparrow, Bald Eagle, Belted Kingfisher, Black-Capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, Brown Creeper, Brown-Headed Cowbird, Brown Thrasher, Canada Goose, Carolina Wren, Common Goldeneye, Common Grackle, Common Merganser, Dark-Eyed Junco, Downy Woodpecker, European Starling, Golden-Crowned Kinglet, Great Blue Heron, Greater Yellowlegs, House Finch, House Sparrow, Killdeer, Mourning Dove, Northern Cardinal, Northern Flicker, Northern Mockingbird, Northern Rough-Winged Swallow, Purple Finch, Red-Bellied Woodpecker, Red-Winged Blackbird, Ring-Billed Gull, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, Song Sparrow, Tree Swallow, Tufted Titmouse, White-Breasted Nuthatch, White-Throated Sparrow.
Canoeing
Wheatley is basically a tangle of creeks with some campgrounds tossed in, so bring a canoe or kayak if you have one.
There’s a little canoe dock on Sugar Creek, next to the entry to the middle creek campground.
It’s a bit of a walk from the limited parking area just off the road - a rough trail down to the creek.
You can access a number of small creeks from that launch, though. Sugar Creek, Boosey Creek, and East Branch all converge just south of there, in the area of the foot bridge.
2026 Update
WOW, was it ever dry! The East Branch Creek that ran behind our campsite appeared to be MAYBE a few inches deep, based on how the herons were standing in it. Sugar creek - by the platform - definitely didn’t look deep enough to be paddling in.
The canoe launch was no longer anywhere near the water!
Fishing
In 2024 and 2025, right behind our campsite, we were able to see fairly big fish jumping right out of the water!
I don’t know what they were, or if fishing is even legal on that creek (it’s not mentioned on the site), but figured I’d mention it.
It went on for hours, as far as the eye could see. We had at least a handful of really active ones right near us, it was fun to watch.
The park website says that Boosey Creek and Sugar Creek are where the fishing opportunities are. No mention of what kinds of fish you’ll find there, but you can borrow some fishing gear from the park if you’d like to find out.
It does say that you can fish for perch, pickerel, rainbow trout and smelt on Lake Erie proper, though. There’s a public boat launch in Wheatley Harbour, and also a pier that you can apparently fish right off.
Wheatley also hosts a kids fishing derby every August.

Discovery Program
As with all the Ontario Provincial Parks we’ve been to, Wheatley offers a Discovery program.
In this case, it’s only during July and August.
I’m not really sure where they host it - or what kind of activities are involved. There’s no real info posted anywhere, and not really any kind of a venue for it.
Most parks we’ve been to have a Visitor Center, Amphitheater, some kind of a gathering spot, etc ... this one does not.
Honestly, outside of a playground in the Two Creeks Campground, it doesn’t seem all that kid-friendly at Wheatley.

Niantic Games
There aren’t many stops or gyms in Wheatley Provincial Park.
Best bet is to book a site near a comfort station or other point of interest in the park, if you want regular access to spin stops.
Nearby Attractions
Nearby Point Pelee National Park is the main nearby attraction, and quickly became one of our all-time favourite destinations. The Marsh Boardwalk there is great, and makes for a particularly beautiful view at sunrise!
See our Point Pelee National Park Review post for everything you need to know!
Beyond that, the Town of Wheatley is nearby. There are a few gas stations and speciality shops there, but if you’re looking for grocery stores, you’re better off driving into nearby Leamington.
On that note, if you’re looking to make a bigger excursion, Pelee Island is accessible via a ferry ride from Leamington.

Final Thoughts
It’s a really cute campground, and the waterfront sites are fantastic.
The park feels really casual, comfortable, and probably more rural than I would have expected for so close to major cities like Toronto, London, and Windsor.
The vibe kinda reminds us a bit of Algonquin, just in a much, much smaller, less intimidating park. It kind of has a “north” feel to it, which is a bit weird being one of - if not THE - southernmost parks in Canada!
We’ve already started a list of sites and sections we’d love to stay in next time - because there will definitely be a next time.
When we booked this site in the Two Creeks campground, it was specifically to have easier access to the foot bridge, etc.
Next time, we’d like to stay up on one of the waterfront sites in Highlands or middle creek campground, because - at last during our stay - the concentration of Egrets was much higher, and they were hanging around closer to the campsites.
... We’ll just hope that I’m not going through a low mobility period at the time of the next visit.

Having grown up in wheatley when did 2 creeks change to sugar creek,
the picture of the fish dorsal fin is that of a carp ,there is number of different types of fish in the park creeks (having set trap net in the park waters to see what was there in order to see if a species could be added in order to keep mosquitoes in check but as the creeks get closer to wheatley and the golf course the O2 level drops to zero at night and no fish can survive there at night)
at one time the day use area was huge with 2 road ways one along the beach area and one along the creek lagoons with a hundred or more parking spaces but high lake levels and storms eroded the cliffs away
lots of hickory trees and their nuts in the fall are great eating when roasted (like a strong walnut but you need a hammer to crack)
winter is great used to skate from wheatley to the lake on the ice

Thanks for your insight!
