Overview
A brief introduction to Point Pelee National Park
Point Pelee National Park (; French: Parc national de la Pointe-Pelée) is a national park in Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada where it extends into Lake Erie. The word pelée is French for 'bald'. Point Pelee consists of a peninsula of land, mainly of marsh and woodland habitats, that tapers to a sharp point as it extends into Lake Erie. Middle Island, also part of Point Pelee National Park, was acquired in 2000 and is just north of the Canada–United States border in Lake Erie. Point Pelee is the southernmost point of mainland Canada, and is located on a foundation of glacial sand, silt and gravel that bites into Lake Erie. This spit of land is slightly more than seven kilometres long by 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) wide at its northern base. Established in 1918, Point Pelee was the first national park in Canada to be established for conservation. It was designated as a Ramsar site on 27 May 1987.

Camper reviews for Point Pelee National Park
Interesting but not good
We travel in our LTV but wanted to stay in the park so we opted for staying at Camp Henry. It seems that this new trend of fancy tents or tiny houses miss the mark. The mosquitos are an ongoing thing in the Carolinian forest but these don't have a screened in seating area and the tent inside is just not that comfortable.
These double as a youth camp so that probably explains some of the design choices.
Wheatley Provincial Park is close and a better choice for us.
Interesting that I got about 10 notifications from CampNab. There are only 13 sites, not sure why so many would reserve and then cancel.
