Weekend Trip to Big Rock Eco Retreat & Campgrounds
What a wonderful time away where it felt that time stood still in the midst of falling leaves and glorious rays of sunshine. Jason and Susie ensured to meet all needs with prompt responses and, when needed, support. We enjoyed viewing the property, a peaceful boat ride and, of course, the accommodations. We didn't want to leave. A true bucket filling experience where we left feeling relaxed and grateful. Only regret is not booking an extra day.

Weekend Trip to Big Rock Eco Retreat & Campgrounds
We stayed at the lakeside dome for two nights and loved every moment. It was peaceful, well maintained and had everything we needed. When we arrived Jason, the owner, and Rocky his very friendly dog came to greet us. He gave us a tour of the property and the other sites and answered any questions we had. We also went on a tour of the lake which was beautiful. He was very passionate and knowledgeable about the area and reccomepnded places we could go. 100/10 could not reccomend enough. We will definitely be coming back!

6 nights at Wildwood Nature Escape
My partner and I had an awesome time glamping for a week in the starlight dome/yurt. Any critiques/improvements that we might have seem to be things that are already being addressed in the ongoing construction that appears to be in the final finishing stages. The host is friendly and accommodating, and she can always be found on the grounds in case campers have any questions or are in need of assistance. Our bed was comfortable and our grill was so easy to use! Floating on the coulonge river was a highlight. We'll be back with friends!

Great spot for a little family get away! Fantastic for adventurous swimmers with the water steps away. Swimming from the docks to the rapids was lovey and hours spent searching for blue crayfish! It is pretty private, but also important to remember it is a busy campground as well. The host was fantastic and very responsive!

Weekend Trip to Wildwood Nature Escape
This place was amazing! My husband and I went here to have a little romantic getaway for our anniversary :) the property is still being built up but you can see there’s a lot of love put into it and they will have a sauna and cold bath soon too! The edge of the water is a little bit challenging to hang out in because it’s steep but they put two floaters anchored in there so it’s perfect for a little dip / relaxation if needed. We stayed in the sunset dome which had sunset right onto it so we got sunlight right to the end peaking through the trees it was beautiful. Had a big deck, bbq, personal fire pit. Really great! Genevieve was also really responsive and helpful! Definitely recommend :)

Weekend Trip to Wildwood Nature Escape
Wildwood retreat was an absolute treat! Easy to get to from Ottawa and a nice 2 hour drive. Her retreat is immaculate. The domes are so well done, clean and organized. Our private barbecue was the cleanest I’ve ever used in an accommodation like this! All the little touches were well thought out. Each had a private privy as well. All the accommodations were nicely spread out where I felt private and not in anyone’s way.

Weekend Trip to Big Rock Eco Retreat & Campgrounds
My wife and I had an amazing two-night stay at the Lakeside Dome at Big Rock Eco Retreat. The whole experience was peaceful, memorable, and incredibly well-hosted. Jason, the owner, was fantastic—very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. He took us on an ATV tour of the property, gave us a boating lesson, and took us out on the lake. We also enjoyed the company of his energetic, well-trained dog, Rocky. If you’re looking for a top-notch glamping experience in a dome, this is the place to go. There’s also a beautiful Hillside Dome on the property that we got to check out, and it looked just as amazing. The 3-hour drive from the GTA was absolutely worth it!

Beautiful area. We stayed in the lakeside dome which is being set up for accessibility. We got a tour of the dome on the hill. Next trip we will use that one. Very private, amazing views. Hot tub at both makes for a relaxing romantic stay. Owner was very responsive for any questions or issues and resolved quickly.

We absolutely loved staying at Susie and Jason's dome in the woods. Jason met us upon arrival and drove us through the property to the dome. He spent a good amount of time going over everything to make sure we were comfortable and knew how to operate the pellet stove and water. We happened to arrive the day a huge snow storm was coming, so the scenery was beautiful. No better place to be to hunker down! The dome was comfortable and clean. The kitchen had all the necessities.
Beds and pillows were excellent. The loft bed even has dual remotes so you and you partner can adjust it according to your likes. Hot tub was awesome to have a soak in at night under the stars. Added bonus was how the surrounding forest was dimmly lit up with black lights at night. All in all our time here was awesome. The only recommendation I would give the hosts is to make sure the dome is heated upon the guest's arrival. We will be back again for sure! Thanks for a great mid-week getaway from the kids!

Where to go
Algonquin Provincial Park
One of the oldest protected public parks in the world, Algonquin Provincial Park is home to more than 2,400 lakes, 750 miles of rivers and streams, 14 interpretive trails, and eight campgrounds. Whether car camping at one of the popular family-friendly RV sites or canoe camping in the backcountry, this is an exceptional destination for fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, and birdwatching.
Bonnechere Caves
This unique geological feature is one of the best sights in the area. The caves were formed by the power of the Bonnechere River over thousands of years and now feature funky rock formations and mesmerizing underground waterfalls. Visits are by guided tour only from spring to autumn. Those visiting in early October might spot bats getting into position for early hibernation.
Bon Echo Provincial Park
Bon Echo Provincial Park offers one of the most unique attractions of any Ontario provincial park, home to Mazinaw Lake and its surrounding rugged cliffs, which feature ancient Indigenous pictographs. Campers can take boat tours to see them up close and then hike to the top of the cliffs for an incredible view of the lake. The park also has excellent swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and biking.
When to go
Most provincial parks and outdoor attractions near Renfrew operate on a seasonal basis, from mid-May to mid-October. Campers should note that evenings can be pretty cold in May and June, and again in September and October. The mosquitoes and blackflies of Algonquin Provincial Park are legendary in their ferocity in late spring and early summer. Renfrew’s annual Renfrew Fair in September brings live music, carnival rides, and livestock showcases to town, while early October is the best time to admire the autumn colors around Algonquin (which gets very busy with weekend daytrippers).
