With kids
My family loved the tent. It was very private, comfortable and cozy. Laura was very considerate and my kid loved her. She made us feel right at home.
We highly recommend this property. We will be visiting soon again.

Weekend Trip to Maple Forest Bell Tent
Laura and Dale were fantastic hosts! The fresh eggs were delicious, the cooking area had everything you need, the surroundings were beautiful and the hot tub and outdoor shower were fabulous! The glamping tent offered some amazing sleeps with the open mesh breezes.
Mosquitoes and bugs are plentiful, but that's to be expected with camping and the outdoors, so come prepared!
Overall, a wonderful retreat for anyone wanting to experience the outdoors with a little more comfort.

The best forest glamping near Tobermory guide
Where to go
Bruce Peninsula National Park
Surrounded by rock slabs stretching out from the shore into Georgian Bay, Bruce Peninsula National Park is a superb location for summer swimming and hiking. Miller Lake offers treed campsites for pitching a tent and waterfront cottages for added luxury. Or choose Cyprus Lake Campground as a home base, and hike the 45-minute Bruce Trail to The Grotto, a cave featuring craggy rock formations sprinkled with clinging pine trees and a spacious natural pool inside—a solid spot for cliff jumping. Be sure to book advance parking reservations if you plan on driving—spots fill up quickly. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing dominate the trails in winter, but certain areas of the park may be inaccessible due to snowy conditions.
Fathom Five National Marine Park
A bucket-list destination for snorkelers and divers, Fathom Five National Marine Park has 130 square kilometres of water to explore, including 22 shipwrecks and islands with old-growth forests. Take a glass-bottom boat tour to peer into the depths of the freshwater ecosystems, or visit Flowerpot Island to see the solitary stacks of escarpment dotting the beaches. Independent types can opt for kayak and canoe rentals to venture out on their own.
Manitoulin Island
Manitoulin Island boasts the title of the world’s largest freshwater island. Arrive by ferry from the mainland (a two-hour trip), or drive over the iconic swing bridge (an Ontario heritage site). Kids love the sprawling green space, water park playground, and a midday snack at the picnic tables in Low Island Municipal Park. In the warmer months, spend the day horseback riding or exploring the water on a canoe tour. Activities extend into the winter season with snowmobile tours and ice fishing.
When to go
Hipcampers are spoiled with seasonal activities all year, so the best time to visit Tobermory truly depends on personal preference. May through September is popular for tent camping, biking, campfires, and swimming, while October offers colourful forests filled with changing leaves—an ideal time for hiking. Winter weather from November to early March brings snowy activities and crisp scenery, but some may consider bundling up and snagging an RV campsite to fend off the chilly temps that dip well below freezing.
