Ten years ago John and Nancy Corcoran decided that their lives needed a change of pace. They sold their dream home in Ontario and most of their possessions, bought a sailboat (learning how to sail in the process) and spent the next few years exploring the islands of The Bahamas. However, one of the few things they decided to hold onto was 200 acres of pristine wilderness in the heart of Northumberland County. The Corcoran’s first learned about the burgeoning trend of glamping or luxury camping in 2015, and immediately knew it would be the perfect fit for their property.

When designing and envisioning Whispering Springs Glamping Resort the Corcoran’s aim was very simple: to create a place in which individuals could slow down and reconnect with family, friends and the great outdoors. Understanding that the traditional camping experience is not for everyone, Whispering Springs Wilderness Retreat bridges the gap between camping and the desire for comfort, allowing individuals to experience the great outdoors in style and sophistication.

John and Nancy Corcoran bring to Whispering Springs Glamping Resort extensive experience in the hospitality sector. John and Nancy were key contributors to the renovation of Ste. Anne’s Inn and Spa in the 1980’s and ran it as a B&B before embarking on other business endeavors. After raising her children, Nancy returned to Ste. Anne’s Spa and was the Innkeeper for a number of years before moving to The Bahamas. Over the past few years, John and Nancy have been conducting charters on their 50-foot sailboat, sharing their passion for sea life and Bahamian living with their guests. Now, with Whispering Springs Glamping Resort, they would like to share their love of the Canadian countryside and Northumberland County, and provide guests with a unique and unforgettable wilderness escape. 

From weddings and corporate events to luxury wellness retreats, Whispering Springs offers guests a unique way in which to reconnect with themselves, those around them and the great outdoors.
