We camped here for the first time this summer and it was a great place for our young family! We stayed in the Boosey area and it was really nice and quiet. The beach was nice - never crowded because there is so much room and the water was fairly warm for a big lake. Our kids loved all the driftwood on the beach. You can also fish in the lake or rivers in the park which my husband and son liked. The park by the beach is great for kids. The bridges over the creeks are fun. If I had one complaint it would be the spiders... there are lots but I guess that just comes with the territory. Overall a great park in a nice area and we will be back some day!

Went here for my first camping trip with the brand-new RV. Great place to go camping. Keep in mind with provincial Parks you do not get water on your site however if you book an electrical site you get 15 or 30 amp service and it typically is very close to where your RV would be. To get water there is a cleanout station with freshwater just inside the camp registration area.Stayed near water on the southside. Rather swampy. Tremendous number of mosquitoes.The comfort stations were extremely well-maintained and very clean.Beach is excellent for walking and well as swimming in the water.

We have visited this park twice now and have always had an good experience. Kids enjoy the beach and the trails. We stayed in 2 creeks campground the foot bridge to the beach is nice with good views of the river. Lots of birds and other wildlife to observe. Recommend this park

We stayed at Wheatley Provincial Park for 3 days/2 nights in August 2013. The park is made up of 4 different campgrounds. We stayed in Boosey Creek; the others are Highlands, Middle Creek, and Two Creeks. The latter 3 are all bunched together, with small sites that are virtually on top of each other. If you have an RV or trailer of some sort (as do most people staying in these sections) then you might not care. If you are tenting, I would highly recommend Boosey Creek, as there are fewer people, the sites are more spread out, and it is a radio-free area (greatly decreasing the chances that you'll be stuck near a loud crew). Radio-free does not, however, mean dog-free. Bathrooms: the vault toilet near our site (site 29) was unbelievably overridden with bugs and mosquitoes - as soon as you opened the door, they came swarming out. It was unthinkable to even attempt to go in. Thankfully the "comfort station" with showers and flushing toilets was not too far to walk to, and it was kept satisfactorily clean. Location: Boosey Creek has a footbridge that you can walk across or take a bike across, to access the beach. We found the beach area to be fantastic, with plenty of picnic tables and fire pits where you could set up for the day. This area is also accessible by vehicle. Lake Erie had small waves crashing, and was refreshing to swim in. We got up early one morning to watch the sun rise over the lake, which was lovely. From Wheatley Park we drove to Point Pelee National Park, which was also a great place to spend an afternoon. Overall: staff was friendly and helpful upon checking in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and wouldn't hesitate to return again someday.

Our most relaxing stroll in Wheatley was the highlight of the trip. Very beautiful landscape with water, birds, forests, great beach (for walks) and butterflies. Breathtaking bird-watching possible! A lasting impression and great adventure.

This is our second time camping at this park. We found the restroom cleanliness to be greatly improved compared to our last visit - showers and bathrooms were very clean. Great park for "off the ground" camping but if you're in a tent, beware...clay soil prevents drainage and you can be flooded out in a rain storm. There are a lot of people who manage to spend their entire summer at this park, by moving their trailers every 21 days, so it has a bit of a seasonal feel. The waterfront is beautiful, grassy, about 10 feet about the water. Trails down lead to sandy beaches. Lots of restrooms and picnic tables down by the beach.

Good park but some issues. First the bad stuff: there were too many small smelly pit toilets around, and some Go Hut types too. I would sooner pee in the woods and take a fine than use those stink pits. Too many noisy drinking nights too. A lot of campers are hooting and hawlering at night and the Ranger doesn't seem to spot these things. Also, there were an number of security warning signs at the office, which might suggest too much crime at some time?The good parts are: very nice natural camping area set in mixed forest and some beautiful oaks.Staff is helpful, and the wash-rooms are ok but not great. There were at lease two plumbing issues which shut down some faucets. This sort of thing should be taken care of during the off season. Maintenance level in the park should be higher, it has a overused and beaten feel to it.Travel with your GPS to this park, as the sign on the 401 are non-existant and even worse on the back roads. There was one sign for this part 250 meters from the entrance. Good park overall. My rating is: 7.5 / 10

We stopped in Wheatley Provincial Park for a picnic lunch on our way to Point Pelee. We didn't spend time in the camping area nor use any facilities. We did have a lovely picnic on the shore of Lake Erie on the cliff overlooking the beach. It was a beautiful spot and a very different coastline than we saw at Point Pelee. It was windy - so we were glad we had brought jackets! There is a fee for day use of the park but it is minimal and certainly goes to a good cause - maintaining this beautiful spot.

We took a drive through to check this place out. It looks like a nice place to camp. The beach area is really nice. When I have more time I would like to come back.

Stayed in Boosey site 49. Was a good site. Average privacy. We were place adjacent to the marsh. This was a premium site. I was expecting bugs of all kinds but the amount of daddy long legs in this site was UNREAL. Literally could not keep them off us. This was just a warning though for anyone else looking to rent that specific site and is not the reason for warranting this 3 star rating. The reason for the 3 star was the beach. This was one of the most unsafe, uncomfortable beaches I have ever been on. There is dead driftwood the entire length of the beach that looks like it hasn't been cleaned up in years. That wasn't the worse though, those kinds of things are expected its nature. It was the amount of garbage and dangerous sharp metals littering the shore that was an issue. I seen so many hazards that could seriously harm someone littering the shore that i wouldn't even dare stepping into water I couldn't see the bottom of. The beaches were very rocky as well. The upper area of the park above the beach was amazingly maintained with picnic tables and fire pits, but the beach itself was disgusting. It looked to be the cemetery beach of lake Erie and even smelled liked. I liked the campground but with a beach front that poorly maintained I'll never return. We left a day early and went to Point Pelee instead which was AMAZING in comparison. Grounds were well maintained and the area was abundant with things to do in comparison to Wheatley provincial park. So in Short, Whealtey campground was good. The beach was disgusting!
