ICYMI: You can sleep under the stars in a cozy camping pod in Ontario

Are you searching for a unique camping experience in Ontario to add to your bucket list this year?

Nestled within the picturesque landscapes of the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site in Peterborough, await the charming teardrop Ôasis pods, offering an unparalleled retreat into nature.

Ideal for couples, small families, and adventurous paddlers, these pods redefine the notion of camping. Described as "teardrop-shaped duplexes," these one-of-a-kind accommodations are perched above the ground and offer amazing views of the waterway. 

Scattered across the park, five pods beckon visitors, with three situated at Lock 9 - Meyers and two at Lock 10 - Hagues Reach. Each pod boasts a cozy living space, comfortably accommodating up to four guests.

Imagine unwinding in these snug quarters, perched atop secluded campsites enveloped by the peace and quiet of the surrounding forest. As dusk descends, revel in the celestial spectacle overhead while gazing at view of the peaceful waterway.

Step inside to discover the cozy interiors awaiting your arrival. Each pod features a convertible table/bed, accommodating two adults with plush cushions for added comfort. Above, a suspended hammock loft beckons young adventurers, providing an ideal retreat for up to two children. Harnessing solar power, a USB outlet with dual ports ensures your devices remain charged throughout your stay.

Outside, amenities abound to enhance your outdoor experience. From lockable food storage bins to a well-equipped food preparation shelter complete with a BBQ, propane, and cooking tools, every need is meticulously catered to. Unwind by the fire pit or bask in the serenity from the comfort of deck chairs thoughtfully provided for your relaxation.

Ready to plan your excursion? Remember to pack bedding, pillows, and personal gear, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. 

Mark your calendars as the campgrounds open their gates for the season on May 17th. With limited pods available at each site, early booking is strongly advised.

A one-night stay at the Trent-Severn Ôasis pods is priced at $133.25, with reservations commencing on February 5th at 8 am, exclusively through Parks Canada.
