Agape Gardens, a 30-acre property located in Luskville, Quebec, near Ottawa and the Gatineau Hills, has been named one of the best Hipcamp sites to visit in 2025.
The recognition places the property among Canada’s notable glamping and outdoor stays, highlighting the growing interest in alternative accommodations that blend sustainability, wellness, and nature immersion.
The retreat was developed around the concept of “Agape,” a term rooted in Greek philosophy meaning universal love or compassion.
The property is designed with permaculture principles and features an edible landscape, hiking trails, ponds, and forested areas. Guests have access to additional amenities, including sauna sessions and cold plunges.
Agape Gardens offers a range of lodging options, from furnished bell tents to minimalist cabins and rustic RV/tent sites.
The House of Pisces and the House of Libra are bell tents equipped with clear roof panels for stargazing, while the House of Leo cabin is marketed as a quiet off-grid retreat with solar lighting and shared bathroom facilities.
RV and tent campers can choose from several off-grid sites with flexible placement across meadows, orchards, or forest clearings, though without hookups or fixed amenities.
Tent campers can also book the House of Aries site, which includes firepits and picnic tables. Nightly rates range from CA$39 for rustic RV/tent sites to CA$135 for furnished glamping accommodations.
The property has also received positive guest reviews on Hipcamp, with travelers citing the natural surroundings and views as standout features. Hipcamp’s on-the-ground team has verified the accuracy of the site details.
For outdoor hospitality operators, Agape Gardens offers an example of how glamping businesses are diversifying their offerings with wellness experiences and low-impact infrastructure.
The integration of sauna and cold plunge services alongside traditional camping demonstrates how operators can attract both adventure travelers and wellness-focused guests.
The recognition from Hipcamp underscores how experiential add-ons and sustainability-driven design can boost visibility and traveler interest in today’s competitive outdoor hospitality market.
