Luxury Camping
Booking and availability Calendar
Leave the noise from the world behind and tune in to the natural world. We have created an Eco-Retreat to focus on several key elements - sustainability, the importance of our natural environment, connecting with friends and family, and simply experiencing the world around us which often is muted by the rush of our daily lives. Slow things down… enjoy the simple pleasures of life in the country and tap in to your deeper self. All of our accommodations feature a King sized bed and are designed for 1-2 people. Having a fire is something that we find quintessential to camping in Canada, so outside of each accommodation is a private campfire pit for your careful use and enjoyment. Inside your unit you will find them heated by either an environmentally friendly wood-pellet stove or more traditional wood stove. We also have a cedar barrel sauna which is heated by a Finnish wood-stove - a sign-up board outside the sauna door allows guests to privately book their own sessions.
Experience Glen Oro Farm
The Explorer’s Tent
Step into an alternate reality, where the edges of the map haven’t yet been drawn. Immerse yourself in the beauty, wonder and energy of this ancient hardwood forest, discovering trails that will lead you to places unknown. Bask in the glow of the fire as you lay your plans out on the table for the next day’s adventure. Our Explorer’s Tent will place you into the midst of the forest primeval, with birds and beasts wandering by in the dark of night, just on the other side of your canvas walls. We have fused some of the luxuries of our modern existence (like plumbing and electricity) to this space as well as tasteful furnishings so that you don’t have to rough it too hard. Our Explorer’s Tents are outfitted with ensuite bathrooms. Stylish aromatic cedar showers and farmhouse style apron sinks, and because of the environmental focus of our Eco-Retreat here we use environmentally friendly chic composting toilets. Fresh, clean water is supplied from our well, which taps into the Oro-Moraine Aquifer. This water is UV-filtered to ensure it is safe for drinking and we hope that this will persuade you not to use bottled water. Ultimately we are trying to be mindful of our carbon footprint and help make a difference with the amount of waste we produce.
The Kitchenette is made up of what we consider to be “The Essentials” to create some great camp meals. A propane BBQ outside, electric burner element inside along with a toaster oven and mini-fridge. Inside the sideboard we have a pot, frying pan, skillet, kettle, salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cutlery, dishes, glassware, locally crafted mugs, tinfoil, matches and a cutting board. There is both a compost bin for food waste, and a recycling bin for those items which can be recycled.
Upon check-in, you will be shown to your accommodation and given a thorough run-down of the fairly simple operation of everything. This is glamping at it’s finest - come camp at Glen Oro and leave the details to us. Click here to access our availability calendar.
The Stargazer Dome
When you get out here on a clear night, its incredible just how many stars are in the sky - there is nothing like the perspective influencing idea of staring up into the night and realizing that what you’re looking at is 3D and we really are just one small part of the universe. Our Stargazer Dome features an integrated loft space with a king sized bed directly under the skylight, so you’re staring straight up into the Milky Way while fading off to sleep. It is important to note that you must be ok with heights, and climbing a ladder into the loft - but it’s worth it!

The Galaxygazer Dome
This is our largest luxury accommodation, designed to include a full kitchen including a fridge, oven (with stovetop) and double farmhouse style kitchen sink - perfect for whipping up some fancy camp meals!. It has a custom bathroom with a beautiful sink, cedar shower, and toilet. There are two king sized beds, one above and one below, so these can sleep up to 4 guests - however the king bed below is a murphy-bed that folds out of the wall, so you have the choice of having it up or down which is great if there are only 2 guests in the unit. Overhead there is a huge skylight so you can see the trees blow in the wind, stars wheeling overhead, clouds rushing by, or rain and snow falling - all of it is awesome! All of the living areas feature designer furniture, unique to each Galaxygazer Dome and also have a large bay window for looking out into nature.
A large and stylish woodstove inside provides warmth and ambiance, and each site also has a private outdoor firepit for you to experience nature gathered around the crackling flames. We also provide a propane BBQ at each accommodation and a grill in case you want to try cooking over your outdoor fire.
This is the ultimate Luxury Camping experience and definitely needs to be experienced, to view availability and book a stay, click here.

Studies have noted that the benefits of using a sauna can include detoxification, increased metabolism, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and most importantly - relaxation.
The physical benefits of cold plunging can also be abundant and include decreased inflammation, increased endorphins, improved sleep and mood, a reduction of stress, assistance remedying aches and pains, a boost in injury recovery, reduction of swelling, promotion of lymphatic drainage, regulation of hormones, and accelerate metabolism.
By safely combining these two restorative activities and alternating their use several times, most guests will really feel a positive change in their body.
