Wrapping up the season amid the fall colours

By Greg Coulter

WHEATLEY — With the local foliage in full colour, another camping season ended on November 1 at Wheatley Provincial Park.

Park staff saw an incredibly busy summer with the most-ever campers coming through the gates.

Rob Henry of Grand Bend spent the last two weeks at the park and wished he could stay for another month.

He had nothing but praise for the facility, adding, “The staff here is awesome, the washrooms were spotless, the showers were hot, the washers and dryers worked perfectly. The scenery and trails were very interesting, I look forward to returning next year.”

While the camping is over, the park will remain available for walking and enjoying all spectacular scenery that it has to offer.

As staff prepare to winterize the facility the gate may be open at times, but patrons are reminded not to block it if it is closed.
