I was invited to experience glamping at Long Point...
I was invited to experience glamping at Long Point Eco Adventures at the end of August and had a wonderful time! Full disclosure I was there to work with the property to create/publish photographic/promotional social media content. However, I am not required to leave a written review for anything that I did, so what I m sharing is coming directly from the heart!
It was our first ever camping/glamping experience and we were really impressed. Norfolk County is stunning! We had a 2-night stay in one of the Wilderness Suites (CAD200-300/night), which was tented, had a sliding door, a deck and chairs out front, a king bed, a space heater (that looked like a fireplace), a small fridge, a full bathroom and an attached outdoor shower. The bed also had a heated blanket for the cooler temps at night. It was literally everything we needed! I do suggest bringing snacks, candy, water, drinks (only canned), etc. to keep in your fridge for those random bursts of hunger. I really enjoyed the fire pits that were placed around the property. It was really fun to sit by the fire at night with a drink and watch the sky light up with stars (something we can t really do the city). Overall, our room and the property were great! We didn t have to sacrifice any luxuries to enjoy our time in nature. The property offers a variety of accommodation options for those looking for either more or less traditional camping experiences. Do make sure to bring strong bug spray. Whether you spend time outside or indoors, they will get you if you re not protected! The only thing I would suggest improving is the wifi access from the suites. But if you re not there to work, that shouldn t be much of an issue!
We ate all of our meals (except one) at the property s restaurant The Marshview Patio, which offers a scenic view and delicious food options. My favourite dishes were the Burrito Bowl (CAD14) and the Hearty Spring Salad (CAD14), which comes topped with bee pollen (how cool is that!?). I ordered the salad multiple times. The Tempura Cauliflower (CAD12) was also delicious and my partner couldn t get enough of Bacon and Cheese Hamburger (CAD17). They do really good fries too! My favourite drink was the Cherry Bomb, Folkin Hard Cider (CAD11) I basically only ordered this to drink while I was there. So good!
All in all, I definitely recommend this experience and look forward to doing it again myself. If you re interested in booking before the season ends, feel free to send me a message or DM me on Instagram (la_wandereuse). I can give you my 15% discount code (valid until Oct. 19, 2019) and instruct you on how to use it! And if you have any other questions about the property that I didn t answer here, feel free to reach out!
