Wheatley: Which Campground Should You Book?

If your main goal is just landing a site when the five-month reservation window opens, book Highlands or Two Creeks — they're the two biggest campgrounds at Wheatley Provincial Park, with roughly 63 and 60 sites, so there's more inventory in the pool. If you'd rather trade some selection for a smaller, likely quieter loop, Middle Creek (about 44 sites) and Boosey Creek (roughly 53) are the two smallest. Beyond size, our data doesn't confirm which loop sits closest to the water or which sites have electrical hookups, so check the official interactive site map before you commit to a site number.

Here's the fuller picture.

What our data confirms

Wheatley Provincial Park sits at 21152 Erie Street North in Wheatley, Ontario, on the north shore of Lake Erie between Windsor and Chatham-Kent. The park lists about 220 total sites, split across four campgrounds: Boosey Creek (~53), Highlands (~63), Middle Creek (~44) and Two Creeks (~60). Those four numbers add up to the park's full site count, so unlike parks where the total runs higher than the listed campgrounds cover, there's no backcountry or seasonal-site gap to flag here — as far as our data goes, these four campgrounds are the whole park.

Wheatley's draw for most campers is its Lake Erie shoreline and beach, within easy reach of Windsor and the 401 corridor. If beach hours, water quality advisories or day-use access are part of your plan, check the current status on the official park page, since those details change season to season and we don't track them.

The four campgrounds by size

Site counts shift as the park adjusts loops from year to year, so treat these as approximate and confirm current numbers on the Ontario Parks page before you plan around them.

Highlands

At roughly 63 sites, Highlands is the biggest of Wheatley's four campgrounds, giving you the most sites in the reservation pool. It's a reasonable first pick if your priority is simply getting into the park on your dates rather than a specific loop.

Two Creeks

Two Creeks runs a close second at around 60 sites. With Highlands, these two campgrounds together hold more than half the park's drive-in inventory, so between them your odds of finding an opening are better than at either of the two smaller loops.

Boosey Creek

Boosey Creek sits in the middle at roughly 53 sites. We don't have its distance to the beach or comfort stations confirmed site by site, so check the interactive map if being close to the water matters to your trip.

Middle Creek

Middle Creek is the smallest campground at Wheatley, at roughly 44 sites. If quiet matters more to you than selection, start your search here — though with the fewest sites, it's also the one most likely to sell out first once demand for the park picks up.

What we can't confirm yet

We'd rather tell you plainly what we don't know than guess. Which loops have electrical hookups, which sites are a short walk from the beach versus a longer one, and which campground sits closest to Lake Erie are all things our page doesn't confirm yet. Before you lock in a site number, pull up the current interactive site map on the Ontario Parks page for Wheatley — it shows the live layout and services loop by loop. Our guide on how to read a campsite before you book also walks through what to look for on the satellite view once you've narrowed down a loop.

We also don't have yurts or cabins confirmed at this park. Our yurt camping guide covers which Ontario Parks locations we can confirm roofed accommodation at, and points you to the Ontario Parks roofed-accommodation search to check Wheatley directly if that's part of your plan.

When to book

Ontario Parks releases reservations five months ahead of your arrival date, at 7 a.m. Eastern, on reservations.ontarioparks.ca. Our reservation dates guide has the day-by-day schedule for 2027's long weekends, and our 7 a.m. booking playbook covers what to have ready before the window opens — ideally a first-choice campground plus a couple of backup site numbers, since Wheatley's beach and its easy reach from Windsor mean summer weekends can fill fast across all four loops.

If your dates are already booked out by the time you check, that isn't necessarily final. Our guide to landing a cancelled site covers setting a Notify Me alert and timing your checks around the cancellation deadline, which applies here just as well as at any other four-campground park.
