Sugar Maple Camping Pod
Escape to the mesmerizing wonders of Ingonish and immerse yourself in the ultimate camping experience at our extraordinary National Park oasis. Discover our one-of-a-kind off-grid camping pods, designed to embrace the serene beauty of nature while providing a breezy and blissful retreat. Get ready to unwind in the heart of pristine wilderness. Nestled amidst towering Spruce Trees, our enchanting camping pods offer a truly authentic escape. As the sun sets, solar lamps illuminate the pathways, creating a magical atmosphere and guiding your way through the tranquil surroundings. Step inside your cozy abode, lovingly crafted from warm, insulating wood, and prepare to be embraced by its rustic charm. With a snug queen bed, you'll find yourself nestled in pure comfort, enveloped by the soothing sounds of the wild. While our pods may transport you to a simpler time, we understand the importance of modern conveniences. Shared washroom facilities are conveniently located nearby, ensuring that your comfort is never compromised. Need to whip up a delicious meal? Fear not, for a shared kitchen area awaits your culinary creations. Please note that in harmony with our off-grid philosophy, there is no power or running water within the pod. However, rest assured that the absence of these modern amenities only enhances your connection with the natural world, allowing you to fully embrace the tranquility that surrounds you. In the spirit of preparation, we kindly recommend that guests visiting during the Autumn/Winter months bring extra blankets or sleeping bags, as we want to ensure your warmth and comfort. To further enhance your cozy retreat, we happily provide a heater to keep the chill at bay. Parking is available within close proximity to your pod, allowing for easy access to your natural sanctuary. And guess what? The adventure doesn't end there! Right on the premises, you'll find Salty Roses & The Periwinkle Café, an absolute gem of a place. Delight in their craft shop, brimming with local Maritime artists' masterpieces. Savor a cup of exquisite coffee and indulge in delectable baked goods, all crafted with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. It's a haven of authenticity and a celebration of the region's vibrant spirit. With beaches and restaurants just a leisurely stroll away, and a short drive to all the amenities that Ingonish has to offer, your every desire is within reach. Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of the area, explore breathtaking trails, and discover the hidden gems that await you around every corner. Embark on your unforgettable National Park camping adventure for a nightly rate of $105.00 plus tax. Prepare to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life and reconnect with the soothing embrace of nature. Book your tranquil escape today and unlock the unparalleled magic of Ingonish.

Cozy camping pods, as advertised. The line dried sheets were a nice touch. No waiting for the washroom or showers. All communal areas clean and tidy.
Great camping experience . Affordable. Access to kitchen. Right along the cabot trail. Will definitely stay again

July in the pod
Great location and instructions from the host. Was very warm when we stayed 2 nights but keeping the windows open and fan on high speed we were able to sleep. Bath house was clean. Did not use kitchen but partner told me the refrigerator space was all taken.
