Glamping in Manitoulin Island

·

Manitoulin Island’s glamping scene blends rugged shoreline with creature comforts. You’ll find over 9 unique glamping options—think canvas tents, rustic cabins, and yurts—set among limestone outcrops and lakeshore forests. The average night runs about $120, but you can score a spot for as low as $56. Most sites offer toilets, showers, and wifi, so you won’t sacrifice basic comforts. Mornings mean a swim in cold, glassy water. Winter brings snow-shoeing and cross-country trails. Loons and deer are regulars. For trusted picks, The Kicking Mule Guest Ranch (20 reviews) keeps travellers coming back, while Almost Paradise (10 reviews) and Anokawen on the Alvar (4 reviews) offer privacy and big skies. Glamping here means sunset campfires, wildlife at your doorstep, and no tent to pitch.
