Glamping — glamour plus camping — covers any outdoor stay that arrives already pitched and equipped: a lodge tent on a platform, a safari tent, a canvas cabin. You turn up with a bag and everything is there. It is the most accessible way into unique stays and often the cheapest. Done well, it is also one of the lightest formats ecologically: a demountable structure, no foundations, ground that recovers in the off-season.
In Quebec, unique stays grew up around winter: they are built to be lived in at −25 °C as much as in high summer. That is what makes them unlike anywhere else — and why the dome and the off-grid cabin dominate the market.

Three things the directories will not tell you, and that separate a good night from a bad one.
Check whether the bathroom is private or shared. That is the main difference between two glampings at the same price, and it changes the whole stay.
Glamping is seasonal: most places close from October to April. The few that stay open have a stove — confirm it.
A well-designed lodge tent is insulated and ventilated. Plain stretched canvas becomes unliveable above 30 °C: look at the orientation and the shade.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between glamping and camping?
Everything is already set up: the tent, the bed made, the kitchen, often the bathroom. You bring no kit and no bedding. Glamping also tends to happen on far less dense sites than a classic campsite — often a handful of pitches across several hectares.
Is there electricity?
Usually a limited solar supply: LED lighting, phone charging, sometimes a small fridge. Rarely enough for a hairdryer. Many places deliberately stick to lamps and candles.
Can you go in winter?
Not only yes — it is the best season. Domes, cabins, yurts and shelters are built for the cold. Just check that access is ploughed and whether a 4WD is needed.
