Immerse yourself in a one of a kind glamping experience in Algonquin Highlands, where you can reconnect with nature amidst Ontario’s vast forests and freshwater lakes all while in the comfort of a unique stargazing geodesic dome. Unlike traditional camping, the dome offers almost 300 square feet of tranquil living space, a plush king size bed, a wood burning stove, a cozy seating area and a skylight for mesmerising stargazing views. Wake up to the echoing calls of loons and take in the stunning vistas of the Algonquin Highlands from your secluded lakeside retreat! This exclusive dome is uniquely situated on the serene ‘Louie’ lake, surrounded by pristine crown land forests. With no neighbours for miles, you’ll enjoy unparalleled solitude and tranquility, making it the perfect escape into nature. Nestled between Algonquin Provincial Park and the Muskokas, there is an abundance of nearby activities and attractions for nature lovers alike including hiking and biking trails, fishing, and captivating wildlife viewing and photography opportunities (Especially the fall colours and Northern lights). Escape to the perfect fusion of nature and modern comforts that awaits you!Inspired by portaging in Algonquin park’s breathtaking interior landscapes, we purposefully designed the dome with no electricity and WiFi to encourage our guests to disconnect and fully immerse themselves in the beauty of nature and connect with each other. Relax and unwind on the spacious dock as you watch the sunrise over the Highlands, the mist hovering over the lake while sipping on a delicious cup of coffee. The dome is fully equipped with a new king size bed (chair converts to a single bed), fresh luxury beddings, solar powered pot lights, flashlights/lanterns, and a cozy eating and seating area by a wood burning stove. And just like traditional camping, a private fire pit with muskoka chairs is located outdoors along with a picnic table and a propane BBQ to cook your meals (guests must bring their own stove burner and cooler for food storage). There is a seasonal shower, wood burning sauna, and a newly built private outhouse just outside the dome. Enjoy the serenity of the lake on a paddle board, kayak or canoe. A bundle of complimentary firewood per night stay will be provided, if you require more, please order and purchase ahead of time. An outdoor fridge located by the main cabin is available to store your food, as well as an electrical outlet by the fridge and in the shower room to charge your phones/devices if needed (we recommend you bring power banks to charge up). Spend a day in Algonquin Provincial park which is a short drive away where you can explore a variety of trails and activities, or visit Algonquin’s Visitor Centre, Logging Museum and Art Centre. You could also visit Huntsville, the Muskokas or the quaint town of Dorset to visit the Dorset Scenic Lookout Tower for breathtaking 360 views of the fall colours or take a cruise on the historic S.S. Bigwin steamship touring Lake of Bays.

Algonquin Lakeview Glamping Dome
We had an unforgettable stay at the dome campsite in the Algonquin area! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning natural beauty surrounding us. The lake was a true highlight—its pristine waters provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and exploration. Our dog absolutely loved the spacious outdoor area, and we enjoyed countless moments together by the water. Waking up to the breathtaking sunrise each morning was simply magical. The colors reflecting on the lake created a serene atmosphere that set the tone for our days. The dome itself was cozy and well-equipped, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway in nature. Whether you’re an adventure seeker or just looking to unwind, this campsite has it all. We left with our hearts full and memories to last a lifetime. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure!

Core Memories at the Dome
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Derrick and Rachel's Dome. Nestled on the water, we had an incredible view of Louie Lake and the highlands with its Fall colours. What a great escape into nature without sacrificing comfort. The dome was cozy and equipped with all the essentials - Derrick and Rachel really thought of everything! From morning coffees on the deck watching the sunrise to catching the Northern Lights after sunset, our time at the Dome has truly locked in some of our best core memories, and we can’t wait to go back!

We had such a perfect weekend at the dome! The hosts have really thought of every detail to make this so fun and easy. The lake is beyond beautiful and feels very private. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful dome on private lake!
My parents and I absolutely loved our stay at Darren & Rachel’s glamping site! The space exceeded our expectations. Having a whole lake to yourself is an incredible experience. The water is clear and calm - perfect for a swim or paddle! The glamping dome is just as depicted in the images, and really provides for a comfortable and luxurious camping experience. Darren & Rachel went above and beyond with the amenities. They thoughtfully stocked the dome and surrounding area with many essentials which eased the packing process and saved us a trip into town (e.g., comprehensive kitchenette supplies, BBQ tools, substantial drinking water, biodegradable dish soap and shower products, towels and linens, matches, fire starter, flashlights, life jackets, etc.)! The whole property (I.e., dome, BBQ area, shower, sauna) is all clearly very well taken care of! We also appreciated all the lovely decor choices that added to the luxury element. You are close enough to Algonquin park that it’s totally reasonable to do a day trip if you’d like to check out the hiking! Dorset is even closer, and was a good place to get groceries and any other essentials. Darren & Rachel were very easy to get in contact with, and always provided quick answers to any questions we had. We would highly recommend Darren & Rachel’s glamping spot! It was definitely hard to leave on the last day!

Hidden Gem
This was our very first time camping! We camped with a 4 year old and a 6 month old and it was AMAZING!!!!! From the bed to the seating area with the views there was nothing in the DOME that was not cozy and chic! The outdoor space and water access was great and my kid loved the doc, water, animals and views! We definetly over packed as Darren & Rachel had everything we needed and so much more! Marshmellows, graham crackers, chocolate and even the roasting sticks my 4 year old was estatic to stay the least. Thanks for making our first experience memorable, cozy and fun. The indoor board games were great too as it rained the first night we stayed. The owners were very easy to get in touch with and very kind. Thanks for sharing this sweet gem of a location, we couldnt have had a better 1st time glamping experience.

Incredible! Didn't want to leave!
Darren and Rachel's dome on the water was everything and more then what we were looking for. This place was an absolute gem. We both love back country camping and being off the grid when we go camping but this summer we were a little to busy to plan a backcountry trip. We booked here stayed for 2 nights and although we were really camping in luxury it still gave us that algonquin backcountry itch with a muskoka cottage feel. The dome was so beautiful inside and everything seemed to be well thought out. We loved just relaxing on the dock all day and then hitting the sauna at night, grab a shower and stargazing inside the dome at night. Rachel was very attentive with responding and helped out so much with changing our plans to escape a rainy trip. We will definitely be back! One of our best trips ever!
