In E112 of the REI Hot Seat, Andrew Hines and Jacob Campagnaro discuss their glamping site near Tobermory, Ontario, which they’ve transformed from a traditional campground into a premium glamping destination.

With 70 bylaw-approved spots, including 30 currently used for glamping, they focus on creating a unique guest experience.

Their plans include adding amenities such as hot tubs, saunas, activity areas, and blanket Wi-Fi, as well as introducing high-end accommodations with modern features like full-sized beds, kitchens, and bathrooms.

Their goal is to appeal to a broad audience, including those who may not traditionally camp, while turning the site into a self-contained destination leveraging the natural beauty of the area.

They reflect on the challenges and successes of transitioning from low-revenue seasonal campers to high-value guests. By using customer feedback and strategic investments, Andrew and Jacob aim to enhance the site’s reputation, lengthen stays, and create memorable, Instagram-worthy experiences.

The discussion also covers their equity raise efforts, which are open to Accredited Investors Only, to fund further improvements and expansion into premium offerings, underscoring their commitment to scalability and profitability.
