Wilderness pod camping at Long Point (2 hours from Toronto)
If you fancy a night of glamping, check out Long Point’s wilderness pods: comfy, self-sufficient little wooden structures with a minimal carbon footprint. Each pod has a queen or twin bed, a shared bathroom and a private deck with a view of Long Point Bay for $129 per night on high season weekends, breakfast included. While you’re there, hit to the trails, head to the beach, or if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, take on a zip line and canopy tour.
