Look, I like nature. I’ll hike the trails, swim in the lake, roast the marshmallows. But sleep on the ground? With rocks and bugs and mystery rustles in the bushes? That’s a no from me. Luckily, glamping in Ontario is the perfect middle ground—real outdoor adventures, minus the cold tents and leaky air mattresses.

Whether you want a luxurious yurt, a treehouse with a view, or a Scandinavian-style dome under the stars, here are the best places to go glamping across Ontario this summer.

1. Glen Oro Farm – Oro-Medonte

Glen Oro Farm is basically glamping goals. Their Stargazer Domes are fully outfitted with fireplaces, spa-like bathrooms, and glass ceilings for nighttime stargazing. Set on a working horse farm near Orillia, it’s rustic, romantic, and totally off-grid (but with great cell reception, don’t worry).

Tip: Book their Equine Experience if you want to really lean into the whole farm-chic vibe.

2. Whispering Springs Wilderness Retreat – Grafton

Nestled in the forest near Cobourg, Whispering Springs feels like a five-star resort in the wild. Picture: canvas tents with hardwood floors, clawfoot tubs, and front porches with wine-ready views.

There’s a saltwater pool, yoga pavilion, and a bar called The Watering Hole. It’s glamping with a cocktail in hand—and honestly, that’s my kind of camping.

3. Alabaster Acres – Caledon

Only an hour from Toronto, Alabaster Acres is a peaceful glamping retreat on a 100-acre farm. Their Rustic Luxe tentsare decked out with cozy beds, string lights, private firepits, and real plumbing (praise be).

They also offer farm tours, seasonal workshops, and the kind of silence that city dwellers dream about. It’s a quick escape that still feels like a total reset.

4. Fronterra Farm – Prince Edward County

Set between vineyards and wildflower fields, Fronterra Farm is a hidden gem just outside Wellington in PEC. Their luxury canvas tents come with wood-fired hot showers, screened-in porches, and eco-friendly everything.

They even brew their own beer on-site at Fronterra Farm Brewery, which might be the most Ontario sentence I’ve ever written.

Bonus: It’s just a short drive to Sandbanks Provincial Park for daytime beach adventures.

5. Four Corners Algonquin – Whitney

For something a little wilder, check out Four Corners Algonquin, just outside the east gate of Algonquin Provincial Park. Their off-grid geodesic domes come with queen beds, wood stoves, and panoramic forest views that make it feel like you’re waking up inside a nature documentary.

Want to really get into it? Book a canoe rental and paddle one of the park’s legendary backcountry routes. Then come back to a hot shower and a real bed—best of both worlds.

6. Long Point Eco-Adventures – Norfolk County

Long Point Eco-Adventures is for those who want adventure and amenities. Their wilderness suites overlook Long Point Bay and come with king beds, en suite bathrooms, and screened decks.

While you’re there, book a ziplining tour, paddle the Big Creek, or head next door to Burning Kiln Winery for a post-adventure tasting. It’s Ontario’s south coast at its best.

Glamping in Ontario lets you soak up the wild beauty of this province without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're looking for romance, solitude, or a stylish group getaway, there’s a spot out there calling your name (probably with fairy lights and a bottle of wine waiting). So go ahead—ditch the tent poles and treat yourself to nature, the cozy way.
