Glamping Resorts Ltd.

What Glamping Resorts Ltd. does

Glamping Resorts Ltd. is a privately held Canadian outdoor hospitality company that operates furnished, short-stay glamping accommodations across three resort properties in Saskatchewan and Alberta: Castle Provincial Park (AB), Northshore Resort on Buffalo Pound Lake (SK), and Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park (SK). Founded in 2018 by Martin Bunting (President/COO, formerly co-founder of SportChek) and Don Schneider (CFO, operator of Pharos Business & Taxation Advisors), the company pioneered the glamping category in Saskatchewan and has since expanded into Alberta. The portfolio includes six distinct accommodation types — geodesic domes, canvas cabins, Intrepid tents, Big Oak tents, waterfront cabins, and a group lodge — differentiated by climate control (A/C and heating), private indoor bathrooms with showers, Endy mattresses, kitchenettes, private firepits, and BBQs. Accommodation units range from $125/night (Intrepid Bunkies) to $785/night (The Lodge at Castle), with the blended portfolio averaging roughly $300/night based on double-occupancy pricing.

The company's go-to-market is entirely direct-to-consumer: bookings flow through glampingresorts.com into the ResNexus reservation engine with no OTA or third-party marketplace intermediaries. Pricing is per-night with seasonal rates, a 50% deposit at booking, and the balance due at check-in; ancillary fees of $20/adult/night for extra guests and $20/night for pets apply. Marketing is content-driven, centered on an SEO-optimized blog, location landing pages, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn), and short video walk-throughs of accommodations on Facebook. Primary customer segments are couples, families, and groups of friends seeking nature-anchored leisure stays, with outdoor adventure enthusiasts and corporate/event groups as secondary segments; the Lodge at Castle (sleeps 10) and Waterfront Cabin explicitly target group and event use cases. Operations are seasonal for the two Saskatchewan properties (May–September/October) while Castle Provincial Park offers some year-round accommodations.
