13 Luxurious Glamping Sites To Visit In Ontario If You Absolutely Hate Camping
The best type of camping.
Camping is a key element of summer fun. Packing up clothes, food, and taking a road trip to the campsite is one of the most fun things to do during summer. But staying in a tent, sleeping in a sleeping bag, and not having the regular luxuries that you do at home doesn't always sound great to people. Sure some people love everything and anything that's outdoorsy, but others absolutely hate the sound of not sleeping in their comfortable bed at night.
That's where glamping comes in. Glamour + camping = glamping and it's perfect for anyone that hates camping. Ontario is filled with gorgeous places where you can go glamping. From beautiful hidden beaches to crystal clear lakes, Ontario is filled with wonder. This summer you have to explore the many glamping sites in Ontario for a day of chilling by the lake and roasting marshmallows, all while being comfortable.
