Born 2 Be Mom: Riding Mountain National Park - oTENTik

I don't know how you feel about camping, but here are my thoughts on it... It's kind of dirty. It's a little bit uncomfortable. It's a lot of work. However, it can be a lot of fun! The only issue I have is that when my family and I want to do the camping thing, we sleep in a tent. Which means with 2 kids under the age of 5 and a German Shepherd, we're crammed into a small space and little feet (and paws) are trampling all over where we sleep. There's no way to avoid it. I'm more of a 5 Star hotel kind of girl, but I do love the outdoors. And my husband (who would happily sleep directly under the stars) does too. That's why when I came across this:

I was excited. They're just so adorable! And tidy! These oTENTik "tents" are available for rent at the Wasagaming campground in Riding Mountain National Park. OK, so maybe it's not a hotel, but for $90/night ($70/night in the off season) I'm pretty sure the experience itself would be 5 Star. Can't ask for more than that.

Each oTENTik tent comes equipped with the following:

Inside each tent:

Sleeping area for up to 6 people - three sleeping platforms with approximately 2 queen sized mattresses and 1 double mattress
A table and seating for 6 people
A wood stove
A battery powered lamp is provided for your use and you may use your own flashlights (in keeping with a camping experience, the tents are not equipped with lighting or electricity)
Fire extinguisher, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Broom and dustpan
Please note: there is no plumbing or running water in the tents

On each campsite:

Tent with front deck
Fire pit
Picnic table
Propane BBQ and accessories
Parking for a maximum of 2 vehicles

Nearby:

A shared kitchen shelter
Washroom with showers
