Shiloh Barn and Glamping, a 13-acre hobby farm in Ontario, has been named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in Canada for 2025. The recognition highlights the growing appeal of small-scale, nature-based accommodations that combine rural charm with guest comfort.
Located near bike trails, lakes, and conservation areas, Shiloh Barn offers a single furnished bell tent designed for two guests, with the option for two additional visitors who can bring their own tent and bedding for an added fee.
The glamping setup includes a queen bed, an outdoor mini kitchen with a barbecue, and a dining area. While there are no showers or Wi-Fi, guests have access to a private outdoor toilet and the barn’s loft for relaxation. Campfires are permitted, and firewood bundles are available for purchase.
Owners Jess and Mark have focused on creating a stress-free camping experience by preparing the bell tent and providing farm-fresh amenities.
“Enjoy just showing up to a lovely Bell Tent set up with a cozy queen bed,” the owners noted in their listing. Guests can also purchase free-range eggs, which they may collect themselves.
As part of a 2025 promotion, Shiloh Barn and Glamping is offering a 25% discount on the second night of a two-night stay. The farm’s setting includes free-ranging chickens and seasonal grazing cows, creating a quiet backdrop for visitors seeking a retreat from urban environments.
For the outdoor hospitality sector, Shiloh Barn’s recognition underscores the growing demand for boutique farm-based stays that provide guests with simple comforts and authentic rural experiences.
Operators of small campgrounds and glamping businesses may find opportunities in this model by combining basic amenities with experiential elements such as local food offerings, animal encounters, and proximity to outdoor recreation areas.
Hipcamp’s annual recognition often drives new traffic to featured listings, offering visibility and potential revenue growth for small-scale hosts.
For glamping and campground owners, such recognition can serve as both validation of guest satisfaction and an example of how well-curated experiences can compete with larger resorts in attracting travelers seeking a more personal connection with nature.
