Canada is known for having plenty of outdoor attractions, and Ottawa has its own fair share of these. Parks and conservation areas are aplenty here. These include Morris Island Conservation Area and Britannia Park and Beach. You also have other sights to see such as Mud Lake and Princess Louise Falls. What better way to explore these sights than by staying outdoors? If you’re not used to camping, worry not, because there are glamping options available so you don’t have to worry about setting up your own tent or getting lost in the woods. Check out this list of the best glamping spots in and near Ottawa, Canada.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location that facilitates glamping or is close to glamping spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 19, 2024.
