Explore DomesWhen We Say
“Back Forty…”
We mean it. The term traditionally refers to the most remote, undeveloped part of a property, untouched and brimming with natural beauty. At Back Forty Glamping, that’s exactly what we offer. Here, you’re given a chance to experience nature intimately, while still enjoying the comforts and luxuries of home.
Book DomeDifferent Domes. Different Experiences.
No two Back Forty stays are exactly alike.
Some guests are drawn to open skies, sunset views, and expansive scenery. Others seek the privacy and intimacy of a woodland retreat. At Back Forty, both experiences offer their own unique way to connect with nature.
Meadow Domes
An Open-Sky Retreat Beneath the Stars
Our Meadow Domes offer expansive views and unforgettable night skies. Watch the sunset from your private hot tub, spot fireflies dancing across the fields in summer, and experience the changing colours of the seasons from a bright and airy retreat.
Perfect for guests who love wide-open spaces and panoramic scenery, the Meadow Domes deliver a unique blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty.

Designed for guests seeking privacy, romance, and a deeper connection with the forest, the Forest Domes create a peaceful escape where the outside world feels miles away.

Top tier getaway spot to bring someone special. The team over there is nothing short of amazing. Definitely cannot wait to come back and enjoy the property again! Would highly recommend for any couples to experience this at least once!
David - Richmond Hill
I was curious about how this place received only five-star reviews. After all, people aren’t always easy to please. Then I experienced it myself. From the welcoming text to the moment we stepped into the dome, my wife and I felt like we wanted to live there forever. Everything was thoughtfully designed, from the kitchen to the bed to the bathroom, and even a hot tub during the winter. This place doesn’t need more reviews to showcase its class, but if you’re still on the fence, book it—it’s absolutely worth it.
Chamara
What a great experience, needed to get away and this glamping dome was just what we needed. Relaxing, hot tub and sauna were great touches we used! And the final Touches in the dome to make everything more enjoyable did not go unnoticed. Waking up to snow falling was magical. Highly recommend and will definitely come again.
Keara - Cambridge
Great escape from the ordinary. The dome was perfect from the views, super cute and cozy and all the amenities you would need. The hot tub was fantastic on a cold winter night under the stars! Excellent communication from booking to departure. We will definitely return and highly recommend Back Forty Glamping!
Gina – Lakefield
I’m not sure I can put into words, the magic that is felt here. It’s beautiful, calm and really allowed my husband and I to slow down and reconnect.
Amanda – London
Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t change a thing and are already planning to come back for another stay this fall or winter!
Julien - Oakville
We spent four nights in October 2025 in the Balsam forest dome for our seventh wedding anniversary. My husband and I live in the GTHA, and wanted a vacation that felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, but with all the comforts of home…including wifi! Back Forty glamping was everything we had hoped it would be and more! We added on breakfast options, and three dinners. The food was delicious and super easy to prepare. Our dome had everything we needed. We had the movie projector, snacks and popcorn add on which was a real treat! Highly recommend! We were lucky enough to have clear nights with incredible star-gazing. The sauna was a personal favourite…the view serene. The hospitality team was quick to respond to any of our wants and needs, but our stay felt incredibly private and remote. The nights were cool and falling asleep to the gas fireplace was pure bliss. We can’t wait to return.
Stacey - Hamilton
I'd give a 7 out 5 stars if possible. Everything was on point, had a fabulous night watching the stars from the hot tub. We will be back.
Andrew - Burlington
This is most luxurious glamping experience my wife and I have ever experienced. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and the staff had placed balloons and a banner in our dome wishing us a happy anniversary. The attention to detail is spectacular. The domes themselves are fabulous and the setting is delightful. If you're contemplating a booking, do it. You will not be disappointed.
Allan - Toronto
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was an amazing experience. Dooms were even better than in the pictures. Very clean and weather controlled. Everything is very private and works as intended. I was also so very pleased and surprised they had an electric charger so I can plug my car and not worry as I drove 3 hours to get there. I deff recommended it to all my family and friends.
Eric - Cambridge
Our stay at Back 40 was nothing short of magical! The domes are beautifully designed with thoughtful touches and complete privacy, making for a truly relaxing getaway. Every detail has been carefully considered by the Back 40 team, from the cozy decor to the well-stocked amenities. The highlights for us were the fireflies dancing at night, the private hot tub, and the delicious add-on breakfast. The owners have created something truly special here — we absolutely loved our stay!
Kelley - New Westminster
This was absolutely stunning. It is the perfect place to enjoy some quiet time with your partner. The property and scenery is perfect. The Domes are very clean, very private and so luxurious. It honestly feels like you are staying in a high-end hotel room, in the middle of a forest. I think this will exceed all expectations for any visitor. I would definitely do this again.
Steve – Milton
We recently stayed at Back Forty Domes in the Willow Dome this past Sunday, and the entire experience from arrival to departure was incredible. The property is stunning, check-in was quick and seamless, and the team was easy to reach if we needed anything.
Julien - Oakville
Had an absolutely wonderful time! The luxury feel when you walk in is amazing. They have everything you could possible need to have a comfortable and relaxing time. Hot tub is an added bonus to being on the deck in the forest. It's an oasis from the busy lives we have and appreciate all the attention to making it that way. We will definitely book for the fall when the leaves change colors.
