Beach Bunkie Glamping in Port Dover

Beach Bunkie Glamping in Port Dover

8/10 Good
"A great glamping option in the heart of Port Dover! You can see and hear the water right from the bunkie. Property is easy to find, with ample street parking. It's a short walk downtown via the side streets, or along the beach, which made it easy to visit local coffee shops, restaurants, the museum and catch a live performance at the local theatre. Great views from the bunkie of sunrise or sunset, or to watch a thunderstorm roll through. Upon arriving, was initially a bit taken back to discover that a couple of the photos in the listing must be from other options/locations on the property, as the bunkie itself is an approx 8×8 dwelling, with the outdoor shower, indoor toilet and mini kitchenette about 6 steps down from the bunkie in the basement of another dwelling. Outdoor shower has hot water, and provides great views of the lake. With windows on all sides of the bunkie, it really offers the brease and experience of camping, but stability of structured glamping, and there's a great overhead fan for staying cool, and electircal outlets for charging. There's the option for two single cots/beds, or pushed together it made for a comfy double, and great sleeps. We had brought our own camping bedding, but the host provides bedding and also provided towels. One thing that would make it a full 5/5 is if the bunkie were lockable, but it IS technically glamping, and otherwise a truly great stay on Lake Erie, and would absolutely book again. The location is perfect!"
