Since I made the full payment via Hipcamp, Sibo corresponded with us inside the booking sites&#8217; app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of which booking method you choose you can expect to be provided with thorough instructions on what is available on site, where to park, how to check-in and how to check out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The instructions were very clear and laid out in a very easy-to-understand way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After arriving and driving up to their property, you&#8217;ll see a small sign pointing you towards the gravel road that leads you to the hilltop campgrounds beside their home. During our stay, our method of &#8216;check-in&#8217; was to honk our horn as we passed by Sibo&#8217;s home, but when we arrived on the site Sibo was already outside on her deck so we just waved and headed straight to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The check-in and check-out times allow ample time for guests to arrive later and leave later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Check-in<\/strong> time is at <strong>4:00 PM<\/strong>. <strong>Check-out<\/strong> time is at <strong>11:00 AM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is strongly recommended to park the car at the base of the hill rather than on the road up. I&#8217;d also recommend this well as the pathway is less paved and more narrow than the gravel path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you arrive at the campsite, you&#8217;ll find a list of very thorough instructions, helpful tips, and guides within your tent. Everything from how to operate the hot water tank shower, to potential nearby areas of interest, where to buy firewood, etc. are all clearly written out in the binder. Also, if you have any questions, Sibo and the rest of her family are nearby and can answer any questions via text through the Hipcamp app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Site-Overview\"><strong>Site Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9263.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9263-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Dusk View of Bell Tent Verona Ontario - Hilltop Glamorous Camping at Sibo's private property\" class=\"wp-image-3367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9263-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9263-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9263-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9263.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what you can expect when staying at this Hilltop Glamorous Camping site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stocked-kitchen\">A Fully Stocked Outdoor Kitchen (excluding a refrigerator)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9387.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"3369\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9387-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Cooking Macaroni on the Gas Stovetop at Sibo's Bell Tent Glamping Site\" class=\"wp-image-3369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9387-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9387-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9387-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9387.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Macaroni, steak, and sauteed vegetables<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9385.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"3368\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9385-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Grilling Squid and Pork Belly on the BBQ at Sibo's Bell Tent Glamping Site\" class=\"wp-image-3368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9385-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9385-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9385-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9385.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grilling Squid and Pork Belly on the BBQ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9186.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"3370\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9186-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Prepping Food for the grill at Sibo's Bell Tent Glamping Site in Verona Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-3370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9186-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9186-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9186-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9186.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to lie &#8211; Sibo and her family have really outdone themselves in so many aspects of this site. The outdoor kitchen is practically a fully stocked kitchen just placed outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first see the kitchen you&#8217;ll immediately notice that this enclosed kitchen tent is equipped with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A propane BBQ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 stove gas stovetop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 stainless steel sinks equipped with running water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A distilled water cooler that dispenses <strong>refrigerated-like cold<\/strong> water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electrical Lighting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family picnic table<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Beside the water cooler is a spacious locker that provides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Dinnerware galore &#8211; sets of 4 small, medium, large plates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mugs, glasses, martini glasses, teacups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic condiments and tea bags<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A microwave<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 kettles (which can heat water over the gas stovetops)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A knife block<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cutting boards of various sizes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Towels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extra shelving and storage for your food<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, as if that wasn&#8217;t enough, the locker also houses a small kitchen cabinet with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cutlery for 4-5 guests (spoons, forks, knives of all shapes and sizes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tongs, skewers, can opener, whisk, and many other smaller kitchen accessories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even more shelving space for storing your items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From the list itself, you&#8217;d almost think you were renting out a fully equipped cottage instead of a tent site! As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, Sibo is also happily on standby with any additional items that you may need. I doubt you&#8217;ll need to though since the family has seriously thought of all the smallest details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An additional plus that I didn&#8217;t expect we would enjoy was the open view across the sink.

This location offers a dedicated propane-powered mosquito trap. When turned on, the propane-powered mosquito trap mimics the breath, scent, and body heat of humans to attract biting insects like mosquitos, black flies, and other insects towards the trap and away from people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time running a mosquito trap near a campsite can help reduce the number of biting insects around the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mosquito season in Ontario starts in early May and tends to dissipate by the end of August. As our stay was the last weekend of August, we didn\u2019t notice too many mosquitos in Verona. However, I can\u2019t say if that is because of season changes or the existence of the mosquito trap on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d still strongly recommend bringing insect repellent and other insect repelling tools like the <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/recommends\/patio-shield-mosquito-repeller-lantern-xl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">Thermacell Patio Shield Mosquito Repeller Lantern XL<\/a> with you as added protection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plan-your-stay\">Plan Your Stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Sibo's-recommendation\">Visit one of Sibo\u2019s Recommended Locations and Eats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren\u2019t already familiar with Verona, Sibo has written up a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.ca\/s\/guidebooks?refinement_paths[]=\/guidebooks\/2795466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\"> travel guide of things to do near Verona, Ontario<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The guide includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sightseeing activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiking nearby provincial parks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food recommendations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canoe and kayak rental locations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d recommend you check out her travel guide before deciding how many days you\u2019d like to stay at this accommodation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nearby-grocery\">Stock up on Food and Drinks (6 min drive away)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This glamping site is surprisingly near many convenient locations so if you\u2019re aiming to pack lightly, you can pick up your groceries or alcohol from the <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/DpiMwwCaYjDveU1a8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nearby Foodland and LCBO plaza<\/a> instead of packing it in with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"firewood\">Purchase Firewood Onsite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always recommended to use firewood from the region instead of bringing your own to reduce the spread of spreading diseases and vegetation-killing insects.

While you could potentially drive 10 minutes to Desert Lake to enjoy an uninterrupted view of the night sky for stargazing, the campsite has several clear patches for you to enjoy the night sky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reclining chairs located on the elevated tent deck, in particular, make for great star gazing seats. These seats are situated in the most open sky spaces of the campsite. In addition, these reclining chairs can recline completely flat, making it ideal for you to rest and stargaze upwards from the comforts of your campground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pack\">What to Pack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pack-people\">For People<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of how luxurious this campsite is there are significantly fewer things you need to worry about bringing to enjoy your stay here.

However, if you\u2019re just planning on staying at this glamping site you don\u2019t need all the items on the list. Here is my recommended list of what you need to pack for your dog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food and Drinks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Water isn\u2019t needed as you have access to running water. Technically you don\u2019t even need to bring a doggy bowl as Sibo provides one for you too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dog Food \/ Meals<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Treats<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Collapsible Measuring Cup&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dog Treat Pouch<\/strong> \u2013 I\u2019m always looking for opportunities to train Limone so whenever she and I are out, you can be certain that I have a dog treat pouch slung on my body with treats and clickers at hand. <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/recommends\/dog-treat-training-pouch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">This is the one that I use everywhere<\/a>. Some might hate the bright interior colour, but I love it as it makes it very easy for me to see what kind of treats I have in the bag. I also love that it\u2019s large, has space to carry multiple poop bag rolls, and is easily washable.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dog Gear<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identification Tags<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leashes<\/strong> &#8211; at a minimum, you should bring one leash with you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reflective Collar and Harness<\/strong> &#8211; Many travellers also advise packing an extra set in case of breakage. For our trip, we brought both Limone&#8217;s reflective collar and her reflective harness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doggy \/ Poop Bags<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dog-friendly Insect Repellant<\/strong> &#8211; DEET and Picaridin &#8211; common ingredients used for human insect repellants <strong>are toxic to dogs<\/strong> and can cause vomiting and diarrhea when ingested. You can protect your dog from the dangerous effects of insect bites by using an oral medication prescribed by the vet like <strong>Simparica Trio<\/strong> which protects against ticks, fleas, and heartworms caused by mosquito bites. While they protect from the illnesses, this does not prevent your dog from getting bit in the first place. As such, you may also want to consider an insect repellant that uses essential oils such as tea tree, neem, lemon eucalyptus, and citronella to repel the insects. However, please ensure that any DIY repellants are using diluted concentrations of the essential oils to prevent potential skin irritations. Note: If you are camping with cats as well do some additional research! While some essential oils are safe for dogs, others can be toxic for cats! You&#8217;ll need to do additional research to find an insect repellant that is both dog- and cat-friendly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dog Grooming<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Baby Wipes<\/strong> &#8211; We like to do a quick wipe down of our dogs before bringing them inside the tent to keep things clean<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campsite<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dog Bed<\/strong> &#8211; While Sibo offers a dog bed in the glamping tent, we brought our own from home to help decrease Limone\u2019s anxiety about being away from home<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doggy Zipline \/ Tie-out \/ Portable Pet Pen<\/strong> &#8211; Dogs need to be leashed at all times while on the property, so a doggy zipline was invaluable for us while we stayed on the site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carabiners <\/strong>&#8211; super useful to secure your dog onto the zipline or to make a temporary stake with your dog\u2019s leash and a tree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"our-experience\">Hilltop Glamorous Camping Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignfull has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9333.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3394\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9333-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lounging outside the Bell Tent in Verona, Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-3394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9333-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9333-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9333-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9333.jpg 933w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9332.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3393\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9332-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lounging outside the Bell Tent in Verona, Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-3393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9332-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9332-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9332-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9332.jpg 933w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9330.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"3392\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9330-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Side profile of shower and washroom cabin at Sibo's Bell Tent GlampingSite\" class=\"wp-image-3392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9330-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9330-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9330-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9330.jpg 933w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond just providing an in-depth look at what this hilltop glamorous camping site has to offer, we\u2019d like to provide you with a peek into how we spent our 2 nights at this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some context, I visited this site with my mother, my older brother, my partner, and two dogs.

parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we were faced with a thunderstorm warning the first night. Combining the fear of being soaked somewhere without shelter and the inviting campgrounds, all sense of adventuring was erased as soon as we settled in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campground is spacious enough and the trees are set apart far enough that we could comfortably set up a second hammock beside the first one. We also had enough space by the tent to set up a fairly long doggy zipline for our two dogs &#8211; Limone the corgi, and Chu the beagle to relax too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were happy to just pass our time enjoying slow meals, playing chess, mini pool, and reading on our phones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"out-kitchen-experience\">The kitchen was used for every single meal

\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the first time we (entire family included) ever camped with two dogs. The secluded location atop this hill made it the perfect opportunity to see how my brother\u2019s dog and my dog would fare on their first camping trip together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how did the two girls fare? I\u2019m happy to report that this was a surprisingly pleasant experience and may have been even better than our previous attempt to bring Limone glamping with us last month at the <a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/pine-falls-lodge-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2426\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pine Falls Lodge<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will attribute this to several factors including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>This campsite was <strong>secluded<\/strong>. You\u2019d need to walk several minutes towards the neighbouring property before you see another campsite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The two dogs kept each other grounded and <strong>kept each other company<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For leash-reactive dogs like Limone, <strong>seclusion <\/strong>was a huge plus. Seeing other dogs or other people while staying in an unfamiliar place was stressful for Limone. In the past, she would lunge and bark at strangers that passed by our tent areas. Since we had the property all to ourselves, Limone only needed to interact with familiar members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9447.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9447-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Beagle and her owner at Sibo's Bell Tent Glamping in Verona, Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-3415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9447-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9447-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9447-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9447.jpg 933w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chu the beagle is always watching to make sure we aren&#8217;t packing up and going anywhere without her<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing my brother\u2019s dog, Chu along turned out to be a major boon for us. My brother\u2019s dog is turning 7 this month and has relaxed a lot over the years. She does however suffer from separation anxiety when she notices bags getting packed up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9388.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9388-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Corgi hiding under picnic table at Sibo's Bell Tent Glamping Site in Verona, Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-3416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9388-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9388-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9388-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9388.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Limone is more relaxed when camping with Chu, her beagle friend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Limone, on the other hand, is 2. She is still relatively high-energy and hasn\u2019t quite learned the art of settling down. The smallest noises in an unfamiliar space can easily set her off into guard dog barking mode. When left on her own, she\u2019ll often start whining for attention and play. This made it difficult to cook or settle into camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By pairing the two together, the two dogs learned to rely on each other. Limone taking notes on how to relax and settle down beside Chu. Conversely, Chu was visibly less tense and anxious when it was time for us to clean up and leave the campgrounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, we ended up using fewer treats and had a much more pleasant time this time around after bringing in a second family dog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"water-pressure\">About the Water Pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While I have had mostly nothing but great things to say about this accommodation, I do feel the need to set some expectations regarding the water pressure and volume of water that you can expect to go through the taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect very light water pressure and less water output than your home. There is a well water pump at the base of the hill that pumps the water up to the pipes used by the washroom, shower, and kitchen taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Realistically, expect to run only one water source at a time. The water pressure is just enough to start a small stream in one pipe, but it is not nearly enough to supply water to multiple pipes at the campsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One time I needed to use the washroom while we were washing dishes in the kitchen. Unfortunately for me, I did not receive any water until the kitchen tap was closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"improvements\">Suggested Improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there was anywhere that I would have like to see an improvement, it would be stickers on the pump switches that indicate whether it is \u2018on\u2019 or \u2018off\u2019. My family and I struggled to check and make sure that each pump switch was turned off after using the shower, bathroom, or kitchen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our stay, we had to make several rounds to check the shower, bathroom, and kitchen pumps to see which pump was left \u2018on\u2019 so that we could direct water flow elsewhere to the campsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you might be thinking that the switches should be fairly intuitive. A standard light switch is in the \u2018off\u2019 position when. In North America, I believe the standard convention for a light switch to be \u2018on\u2019 is when the toggle is depressed at the top (see picture below for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately for us, I think we confused ourselves a whole bunch as most toggles on the campsite were set to that, except the shower switches, which were opposite. Somehow that seemed to confuse our entire party and we kept leaving things \u2018on\u2019 when we thought we turned them \u2018off\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Bell Tent Hilltop Glamorous Camping in Ontario Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9187-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"View from the kitchen sink area of the sheltered picnic area at Sibo's Bell Tent Glamping in Verona, Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-3417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9187-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9187-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9187-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9187.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, this was another absolute gem of a stay that we found on Hipcamp.

A lot of hard work, attention to detail, and striving to deliver the \u2018most comfortable glamping experience ever\u2019 was put into this lovely bell tent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By aiming to provide as much of the comforts of home as possible, this accommodation allows you to start your stress-free attitude well before you arrive at the campsite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can rest assured that you can prep and pack minimally. You only need to worry about what to wear and what to eat. With a few items that you need to bring, you can focus on just looking forward to your stay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9502.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9502-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Beagle sitting crossed legged at Sibo's Bell Tent Glamping Site in Verona, Ontario\" class=\"wp-image-3418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9502-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9502-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9502-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/syderoad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSF9502.jpg 933w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">gratuitous cross-legged beagle for your enjoyment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a recap for prospective campers this is what you can look forward to when staying at Sibo\u2019s Hilltop Glamorous Camping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A fully stocked outdoor kitchen (everything you need excluding a refrigerator)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An aesthetically pleasing and luxurious outdoor shower experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An elevated compost toilet experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A thoughtfully designed firepit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A retreat-worthy bell tent accommodation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Things to watch out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure to turn off all water pumps after each use or face low water pressure \/ no running water in the pipes where you need it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check out all the pump switches around the campsite before turning anything \u2018on\u2019 so you know which orientation the switches should be<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, after reading this in-depth review, you\u2019ll give this glamping bell tent in Verona a stay!
