The Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site in Peterborough is home to these cozy pods, each one claiming its own serviced campsite tucked into an enchanting pocket of tree line. Sleep under a canopy of stars and take in the sounds and sights of nature.

Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site has 5 pods available – 3 along Lock 9 and 2 along Lock 10.

These pods are perfect for relaxing, featuring an interior area of 64.5 sq ft, a convertible table/bed sleeping 2 adults with cushions provided, a suspended hammock loft (up to a maximum weight of 100 kg/220 lbs), a solar-powered USB outlet with 2 port and a battery-powered lamp.

Outside of your pod at your campsite, you’ll find a lockable food storage bin, a food preparation shelter with a picnic table, BBQ, propane, cooking tools, a fire pit and 2 deck chairs.
