What better way to spend a (last) minute trip to the Grand Canyon than under the stars! I was surprised to find Under Canvas under the World of Hyatt site. I have always wanted to glamp, and it turned out of your going to do it this is the way! From the time of our arrival to check out was a smooth process! We arrived right at 3pm which is standard check in. I was concerned initially because the airport was near, but they later proved to be no issue. Justin was our check in representative, both knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did he check us in and give us information we may need through out our stay, he also guided us to our tent and helped to load and unload our items into the tent! We chose the Safari tent which was the perfect size for our family. Because they were pet friendly made it great, we brought our little dog with us. The tent was absolutely fabulous! It gave the feeling of a hotel room minus air conditioning and electricity. My kids thought it still felt like a 5 star hotel, who knew?! The bathrooms are a quick walk and you have the options of just a toilet, toilet and shower, and an ADA bathroom with ramp access. The bathrooms are well maintained with towels in a closet between the bathrooms. Our tent included a wood stove along with firewood, fire extinguisher, small fans, lanterns, and a luggage rack. Upon request you can receive blankets, a cooler with ice, and USB chargers. The response time is quick. I texted the main number and the request was honored in under 10 minutes! Our family's favorite part was the making of s'more's which is offered nightly! We made it a point not to miss that because that made it feel even more like a camping trip! It was nice not having to worry about staying a camp fire and with the availability of the propane fire pits. Besides food and drinks the larger tents where check in takes place also offer areas for games and relaxing. The overall mood and vibe were chill and were thoroughly enjoyed the evening before going back to our tent. The night was completely quiet with a few moments of a desert animal scurrying. It just far enough off the highway that the noise is minimal. I absolutely would stay at an Under Canvas again! The entire staff was friendly and ready to help with any need, which you don't even get a hotels these days! read more

What a fun experience! Now we can't control the weather, but I would say the stay would have been absolutely stellar had it been maybe 8 degrees warmer and a little less hazy and windy. It was just our (bad) luck that of course coming to a dark sky accommodation that clouds rolled in and kept us from seeing the stars Overall I was truly pleasantly surprised! Bathrooms were pretty clean, showers got sufficiently warm, bed was really comfortable and the guests and vibes were nice. They provide small coolers for you to leave on your porch to keep any drinks or snacks cold. They've done their market research so the fairy lights outside, west elm furnishings and folk pop on the speakers really spoke to me as a millennial. Sigh. The nighttime s'mores are such a fun treat. If it's cold at night, you must force yourself out of bed to restock the wood burning stove or else you'll regret it and be even colder, so do it. My only minor complaints are of the towels, they are a bit dingy, but you are camping so it's a trade off. read more

We stayed at this camp ground for my daughter's 30 th bday. The staff is absolutely fantastic. The dome, showers, and bathrooms are super clean and the restaurant was great. The manager Leo was incredible he gave us recommendations and great advice on things to do and see. Great experience. We were lucky enough to experience some live music from a band called Him and Me. All ages friendly and fantastic. Would for sure use this company again. Thank you read more

Under Canvas Grand Canyon - Campgrounds Near Me - Valle, Arizona

What an amazing set up. This runs like a hotel and I was worried we would need to bring our own blankets but everything was provided. Will say the twin bed was one of the comfiest hotel beds I have had in a long time. You have a wood stove in your room we got it lit and then it went out but we weren't going to attempt to relight. We went last weekend in May and it was perfect weather during the day and it was cold (39degrees) at night. We stayed in the 3 twin bed tent and ours was right next to the bath house. There is a large lobby which had a bar and food plus games. You can sit outside and they light the campfires at dusk. Smores fixing comes out at 8. No eating at all in tent. read more

Such a fun place and just 12 min from Bryce Canyon. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The tents are cozy and clean. No ac or electricity. Cell phone connection is not the best, but who needs their phone at this place. Their food is delicious. We did dinner and breakfast. Everything tasted so fresh with clean ingredients. We got the Mediterranean salad with steak and pita. I'm still thinking about how good the salad was! Fun activities at night, s'mores, campfires, painting for kids. This place was lovely. read more

What a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The staff made sure you had everything you needed. Shout out to the girl at the front desk, who made me some infused strawberry lemon water she went above and beyond. We rented a Safari tent and I was a bit skeptical about the community bathroom. They were cleaned at least five times a day so I never ran into a dirty stall. I would 10 out of 10. Recommend the Safari tent for someone thinking about starting to camp. Community events included face painting, s'mores making and stargazing. Dave , the stargazing instructor was amazing and knowledgeable. The food they offered was good. I had the cilantro bowl with chicken. chicken was well seasoning. My only complaints was the rice didn't have a ton of cilantro flavor, and the cold slaw it came with was a tablespoon full, but overall good. I did ask for more slaw and they happily provided it. I also had the burger and that was really cooked well plus shoestring fries. I will definitely be checking out the other locations the Grand Canyon location read more

I can't even describe how awesome this is. We have an entire suite with a private bathroom and shower and a couch and huge bed. This place has all kinds of amenities and a restaurant on site it's like a glamping resort. Very nice staff Justin was our personal bell hop who escorted us to our suite and helped up bring our stuff in. Amazing shower water pressure and so hot. Sooooooo coool. I just checked in but this is 100/100 the coolest place I've stayed in my life read more

WOW! WOW! WOW! I've never been glamping before but what a 5-star experience! From the time we checked-in, to the time we checked-out the service was truly 5-star. I didn't have the highest expectations as I've never been glamping before, but I was blown away! Our group visited in mid-October which in my opinion, was the perfect time of year to visit. They close at the end of October so the weather was chilly overnight but the wood stove that was in our tent worked great to keep us warm. In terms of the main lodge, it was beautiful. It includes a restaurant, games, comfortable seating, complimentary coffee, flavored water, and an assortment of teas. The restaurant was SO much better than we anticipated. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly, and the drinks were refreshing. I also love the complimentary s'mores every night -- such a great touch! In terms of the tents, we were upgraded to a suite which was awesome! It had it's own bathroom and it was able to comfortably sleep 3 adults. The king bed and the queen pullout couch were both very comfortable. There were battery packs and lanterns included in the stay which was another great touch. Overall, if you're visiting the Grand Canyon, you HAVE to stay at Under Canvas! I can't wait to book my next trip to one of their different locations! read more

My partner and I stayed here for two nights, our tent was upgraded for free to a suite tent. Our stay here was fantastic, right for the beginning to when we walked in, to when we checked out. Check in is easy, they do place a $50 hold on a credit card for any charges. Their front desk is operating 24/7. They have a kitchen that has a nice menu, different menus for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Different foods and drinks available for purchase. There is a coffee and tea bar available 24/7, also has water. I drank so much coffee during my stay. Outside of their main tent that they operate from they have a nice amount of seating and fireplaces. They have complimentary s'mores at sunset-late. One night they had complimentary snow cones! Yum. At night they had a musician perform. Very nice singer. The tent was fantastic, the bed was large, there were windows, and an in-tent shower and toilet. The shower gels smelled good. The bedding was very comfy. The fireplace worked very well at keeping us warm at night. I liked being able to sit on the porch and take in the scenery. All the staff was kind and welcoming. Clearly, I loved this place! Would totally recommend. read more

The wife HATES camping but i convinced her that this was not really camping. But it is kind off. The tents are well taken care of and clean. I would recommend getting one with a private bathroom. We had the star gazing one that has a window above the bed. You are far enough from any other tent so the noise is not bad. They have a 10:00 pm quiet time which helps also. You are far enough from anything so not much light pollution. There is an airport next to it but they don't keep the lights on all the time. My only real issue is with the Embers restaurant. I was ok with the prices in order to get the whole experience, but for the prices the food should be a little higher quality. They did provide s moors for roasting on the fire pits. What they need though is a fire pit with no chairs around it as the one with chairs all get taken up early. Also they don't have soft drinks so if you are a soda drinker you might need to sneak one in. If you are going to the Grand Canyon with kids they would really like this experience. We saw a number of kids that were actually talking to the parents instead of their phones. read more

Love the concept. Don't love the implementation. When I think "glamping", I don't think - location close to highway, multiple people in the dining tent on their electronic devices without headphones, bathrooms that could stand to be serviced on a more regular basis. And would it violate Under Canvas's minimum footprint standards to at least leave a box of kleenex in the Safari tents? read more

The staff at the Grand Canyon Under Canvas is amazing and so nice we got a hole tour of the place and are our guide showed us how to use the appliances in our tent. The tent was very clean and spacious. The bathroom in it was clean and nice. Beds were clean. They have a restaurant we did not try but seemed good. Also perfect for kids because they have s'more's and activities every night that you stay. Overall very nice glad we stayed at this Under Canvas in Grand Canyon read more

Under Canvas Grand Canyon - Some of the tents here - Campgrounds Near Me - Valle, Arizona

Talk about a memorable experience for the whole family! We got a tent with 1 bed for us parents and then there was a side tent for the teens. They were thrilled to have a space just for themselves. The tents are really quite lovely. We had a shower, couch + sitting area that seated 4, and the beds were ridiculously wonderful. They made sure the beds are luxurious! And while you are "roughing it" with no electricity in the tents, they make sure you are extremely comfortable. There are misters in the tent entranceway to cool down the air in your tent. There are charging bricks that charge up your fans, lanterns and yes, even your phone. But don't expect any wi-fi. You are glamping after all. But that's really the charm of it. In the evening, instead of folks sitting in their tents, everyone gathered in the main area outside the big community tents to have dinner, listen to live music, gather around the 4 (5?) fires with Adirondack chairs and talk. The Grand Canyon attracts a very international crowd (mainly from Europe) and it was wonderful sitting around the campfire and talking to different families on different evenings. My boys absolutely loved comparing cultures - as well as teaching all of the kids how to make s'mores. I had no idea s'mores were just an American thing! In the main tent, they have seating for relaxing and reading and lots of family-friendly games. Uno seems to be the game of choice - but we're a Phase 10 group. There's also a restaurant - it's laid back and pretty darn good. The menu is smaller but solid. And the drinks they make - are perfection. The staff are immensely friendly. Seriously, I don't know if I've seen a friendlier bunch. If you are on the fence about glamping, just do it. It will be the memory of a lifetime. read more

This place looked amazing and comfortable. There's two issues tho. First they don't have a very extensive menu and second their drink prices are expensive for the size you get. Probably won't be back read more

What a unique and enjoyable experience. Shout out to Krocky for an educational check in and a perfect start to our adventure. He epitomizes the Under Canvas vibe. Once we mastered our overnight heat management with the wood burning furnace, we got a great night sleep in our king-size bed despite the temp dropping down to 45 degrees. This was the last week before closing for the winter. Bunnies hopping outside our tent, coyotes howling in the middle of the night in the distance, you are at one with nature. Stargazing outside our tent was amazing The main tent is beautiful with great seating areas to enjoy the live music at night. Shout out to Luna Ruiz for a great performance. One little hiccup at our departing breakfast. Shout out to Janna for making things right. My wife's not a camper, but she's down with "glamping", so we will be checking out some of Under Canvas' other locations. read more

Under Canvas Grand Canyon - Campgrounds Near Me - Valle, Arizona

Glamping at its finest for sure!!! The other 2 people in my house hold are total nature lovers so while planning this Arizona trip, I figured under canvas Grand Canyon would be the perfect place to stay. It's like camping (which my 2 boys love) but way nicer. I ended up splurging for our stay and booked a suite which came with a private shower and toilet. We got there a little early so our room wasn't ready yet (check in is at 3) but joelle checked us all in and gave us a little tour of the common areas of the property. The lobby area/tent is beautiful! You wouldn't even think you were in a tent. The main tent includes the lobby and eating areas. Breakfast is served from 7-10 am and dinner is from 5-10pm. You order at the counter and take your number to one of the tables in that main tent. There are lots of tables to sit at (inside AND outside) and we ate our dinners early at 5 pm to avoid the crowds. In the main tent, there are also tons of books and games for you to borrow. There is also jenga and corn hole outside to play as well. There is yoga in the mornings (first come first serve) and also live music at night. AND smooooores!!! Yum! If your room is far, staff can take you and your bags over to your tent. There are designated trails for vehicles and carts (to take your bags to your tent). Our tent WAS pretty far but that is what we were hoping and actually requested since we were wanting a quiet and relaxing experience here. Our suite was huge, lots of room for the 3 of us. Prob bigger than a regular hotel room! There is no electricity here (of course) but they do provide a couple lanterns and small fans in the suite. There are also battery packs to charge your phones. If you need anything at all, there is a number to text or a number to call the front desk. Super convenient!! Watching the stars at night, the moon rising, and sun setting (and rising!) was incredible. No pictures could do it justice. Under canvas is just about 30 min from the Grand Canyon. This is a great place for the whole family, even for non campers like me! We really enjoyed our time here and cant wait to plan our visits to the other under canvas locations! Ps: hopefully you'll get checked in by joelle, she is the sweetest!!!!! read more

I cannot begin to thank the staff at the UCGC for the amazing time they gave us. This is the perfect place to unwind, rejuvenate, and get back to your center. The staff went above and beyond to put the G in glamping (guest services). We never went without, the staff got to know our group and made suggestions for food and drinks based on what they learned from us. Every morning we started our day with yoga at 630am. With clear blue skies and a nice mountain breeze it was the perfect was to start the morning. Every night we felt like little kids eating s'mores until our tummies ached. The breakfast, dinner, and drink options were also great. I felt like the staff were non-pushy camp counselors that were there to meet all our needs and ensure we had a great time. The tent was very large as our group was 3 women. We stayed in a 3 bed tent, and even when compared to some hotel beds these beds were infinitely more comfortable. There was sufficient space inside for all of our luggage (2 bags each). The breeze at night was perfect to stay cool during 4th of July AZ heat. We did not have a private bathroom in our tent, but the community bathrooms were great. They were clean, kept well stocked, and cleaned routinely. A no point did I feel unsafe and often left our tent unzipped with our belongings inside. The tent site is located about 25 minutes from the south rim of the Grand Canyon making this a great place to stay. This is a unique experience different from a hotel. It will be time reconnecting with yourself, family, partner that is well worth it. read more

Great trip. Our first time staying at an Under Canvas site. Various luxury tent options spread across a big site with a central area with food, entertainment. We had rented a large tent with stargazing ability (big Perspex style window above the bed!). Also had a small side tent for our boys to give us and them some peace and time alone. Food was very good, they have entertainment such as games, and a guy played guitar and sang. Also a bar and drinks, fires and smores. If you have never camped before you might not love it. If you have camped then it's high luxury! A few minor kinks but they quickly fixed everything and were friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stay again. read more

Not lie on their website. If someone is unhappy at least be courteous and respectful of the guests concerns.

If you're ready to spend a little glamping money, you'll spend some here, and you probably won't regret it. We really enjoyed our two-night stay. Our tent was clean and all amenities were in good working order. We had two very good meals in the restaurant and refreshing cocktails one evening as well as tasty coffees in the morning. We found the staff to be gracious, informed, and friendly across the board. Handy-dandy luggage carts equipped guests to transport bags to tents efficiently. Shade canopies over outdoor seating areas were inadequate, requiring guests to compete for shaded seating areas during meal times. The staff musician was quite capable on guitar and harmonica. His gravelly vocal stylings matched the terrain. S'mores were good, but not as good as the s'mores at Under Canyon Moab where they provide Reese's cups. Come on, Grand Canyon, get your head in the game! read more

Glamping is not my thing but with options like this, I may not go back to traditional camping. It's like a 5-star hotel room. The bedding is so nice. Mattress, comforter and pillows all so soft and warm. Toilet and shower all inside. Pull handle for shower. All nice and clean. There is no electricity. You're provided with battery packs to power the lanterns and charge all your personal electronics. We got the Stargazer with Hive. Absolutely gorgeous. No exterior lights so you're able to see the night sky while lying in bed. There's good distance between each sites. Parking is separate from the sites. No cooking or BBQ-ing at the sites. There is an on-site restaurant. They have a communal area for dining as well as gatherings where kids can play. They offer free smores at the firepit every evening. The food at the restaurant is really good and not that expensive. We learned this the hard way. Don't go out to eat in town as there is literally only one option and the food is bad and expensive. I suggest eating at your site and watch the sunset. It's absolutely humbling. Service is impeccable, especially one particular person, who may be a head staffer, calls himself "Mouse keeping." Spent three nights there in 100 degrees weather in late June. Nights will drop into the 50s. There are misters in the tents which really keep the interior comfortable. I would definitely do this again but most likely in spring or fall when it's more tolerable (during the day). Lastly, this is not cheap but I think it's worth it. read more

5-Star Fun! Under Canvas Grand Canyon was perfect...truly an outstanding experience...and despite the challenges with COVID-19, they did a great job keeping everyone safe, maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, and helping everyone feel comfortable despite the coronavirus chaos. We were a family of five and found the staff to be OUTSTANDING...friendly, helpful and so professional. The location is about a 20-30 minute drive from the Canyon and a perfect, quiet location, allowing for serene experience and unrivaled night-time view of stars. We stayed in the Deluxe Tent which allowed for two large king beds and a cot...the tent was perfect...clean, great bathroom, wonderful wood stove which kept us warm at night. Comfortable beds and loved the barn door for the bathroom which offered a wonderful sink, shower, etc. There are a bunch of nice amenities to make sure that the experience is enjoyable and fun, like power banks in the tents to charge phones, s'mores at night around a fire, activities which families can enjoy (like a trivia night), etc. There is a kitchen that is open until 10 PM, which is perfect if you want to enjoy the sunset at the Grand Canyon and come back late. And food was excellent...loved the breakfast and dinner! I definitely recommend getting outside to look at the stars when it gets dark, as there is no light pollution at this campsite. The sky was absolutely gorgeous and allowed us to view the mikly way in all its glory! 5-Star experience...cannot wait to try Under Canvas at other National Parks! read more

Under Canvas exceeded my expectations! It was my anniversary and the guest experience team made our tent special for the occasion - Very kind. The bed was comfortable and each tent gets its own wood stove for the cold nights which definitely warms up the tent. Staff was very friendly, and the area is very dog friendly so Merle had a great time. Food was decent and there's not many options close by, but it's convenient. read more

Had a great three nights at Under Canvas Grand Canyon. My family of four loved it. I highly recommend it. Regarding some of the other reviews about tents being "dirty," "lighting issues," and "young staff." Please keep in mind that while it is elevated camping it is still seasonal camping with dirt, noise, and limited utilities. That is part of the experience. Finally, if your budget permits, I recommend spending the extra money to get your own toilet and shower. read more

We had an amazing glamping trip here. The staff were very responsive and attentive. The tents and facilities were all clean, well kept and a perfect blend of roughing it and luxury. The activities and facilities were fun for kids and adults alike. Looking forward to checking out the other locations! read more

All in all it was an excellent experience. The tents are well thought out. The staff is super nice. The bedding is comfy. The personal wood burning stove was great on a chilly night. Our only issue was the food. Don't get me wrong flavor was definitely there. It was just a few little things. The hubby had a burger and fries and the fries came out cold, they fixed it but the replacement fries were sparse. I had the skirt steak and the flavor was great but they cut the steak so thick it was almost inedible to cut through with the plastic fork. I picked it up and still couldn't get my teeth through it. This was nothing more than the steak being plated improperly. When spending this sort of money on food and drink it's nice to be able to eat it. But all in all we will come back and definitely order food a bit differently. read more

Overpriced for what you get from the tent to the food. Staff seemed nice but no sense of urgency. Waited over an hour for a breakfast sandwich. Had to ask front desk multiple times for assistance with items in our tent. read more

The family (2 adults, 2 boys) went to Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and Antelope Canyon for our vacation this summer and this was our favorite stay. This location really set the tone for going on a nature trip and spending family time together. No WiFi needed... Which is good because there isn't any. A few things we wished we would have known... they have food here! Delicious food and alcoholic beverages $$. They also provide free hot tea, coffee, hot cocoa, and apple cider mix. And at night they have make your own s'mores. They also have at least 4 grills here. I assume for public use but you might want to ask. They really provide family engagement. They have cornhole out back and a fire pit. Inside they have tons of board and card games to play. There are heated lamps inside to keep you warm on cool nights. Each night they have a promotion going on like painting, games, or live music. We were there on live music night and he was super talented. Glamping at its best!! Our tent had a wood burning fire place. The wood burns quick and hot. We didn't quite master that as it was either sweaty hot or cold. Maybe open the window? Still cool to have a stove in the tent. The bed was a king size and super comfortable with cozy bedding. The kids slept on cots with cozy sleeping bags that they provided. The bathrooms were relatively close to our tent. They had private showers and toilets. The land was beautiful. We spotted a long eared hare right outside. At night the stars twinkle so brightly. There is a lack of light pollution which creates a perfect view To stare up at the stars. If your going out to the Grand Canyon I highly recommend staying here! read more

Our family quite enjoyed our first "glamping" experience through Under Canvas. The tents were spacious, featured large comfortable beds, and working toilets / sinks / shower. There was a restaurant on site in the main lobby tent that was quite large and comfortable. Food was excellent. We would certainly return again and try some other locations. Some pointers that might be important to some people - there a wood stove that would go out every few hours if you didn't put in more wood or relight it. I would suggest either not going during a cold time of year or asking them to bring a bunch of extra fire wood, matches, kindling and setting your alarm to wake up to tend to fire. The location could be a little hard to find especially if you arrive after dark - just go to the airport museum and follow signs along a dirt road to get to camp. The shower features a pull handle that needs to be held for water to come out, it seemed to alternate hot and cold water that came out. There is no wifi. read more

Beautiful grounds, comfortable and adorable rooms, and very friendly staff! I stayed here over my birthday weekend in October and it was gorgeous but COLD! The blankets on the bed are wonderful and work perfectly to keep you warm at night, but if you're not attentive to your wood burning stove you'll never want to get out of the bed. I want to stay here again (or any of the other campsites too) but I think I'll try to pick more warmer times because I'm a desert rat and hate the cold, haha. read more

One of the most unique places we have ever stayed, and I cannot wait to come back! We arrived after 4pm and the staff was so kind and welcoming! When you arrive you get the low-down on how your glamping experience will be, which is so nice because I was a little nervous. The lobby is gorgeous and in there you will find the restaurant and the outside communal area with fire pits, eating tables, and corn hole. You are then taken by golf carts to your tent, as parking is separate from the tents. The tent itself is large, clean and decorated beautifully, yet simply. We had the delux tent so we had a king bed, toilet, sink and shower. We were unable to use the wood stove due to a fire ban, but that was there too. The bed was plush and kept us warm all night, something I was a little worried but prepared for. The tent was decently cool inside while the sun was still up which was surprising, but there are misters to help keep you cooled off. The shower worked wonderfully and I am so grateful we had that! Later in the evening we walked down to get dinner- chicken Caesar salad, a burger, and a goat cheese and honey app. The food was delicious, no complaints, the goat cheese app is a MUST order. There was a live singer performing and we ate our dinner at the tent and could hear him performing from there, which was awesome. At night we were able to see all the stars, and even the Milky Way! We sat out on the patio listening to the music and admiring the stars for quite some time. The quiet and stillness that surrounds you is so peaceful and welcoming. We also heard a few coyotes at night! We didn't have much service which helped to disconnect, but Under Canvas offers a text/call line should you need anything, and they are so prompt and that helped me to feel safe. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Under Canvas, and my husband and I cannot wait to go back and for you to visit them! read more

We spent two nights and had a great time. VERY friendly staff, lots of attention to details, and good food. We really liked mingling with other travelers who were outside by the fire pits. The tents are spacious and comfortable, but certainly rustic. If you're a Four Seasons person this ain't for you! read more

Pretty awesome experience overall. You get to disconnect and just kinda hang out. Temperature regulation in the tent is awesome. Beds are super comfy and you get window cutouts for cross ventilation. 7PM to 11PM you get free s'mores kits, games and you get to meet other people who're also doing this for the fun of it. Once it goes dark, you can sit out on your porch and gaze at the stars for hours. Cons: My dogs didn't enjoy the pathways or the grounds, it was too hard on their paws so they needed to be transported to and from the tent on golf carts. read more

In May, 2022, on a long-planned trip to the Grand Canyon, we looked forward to staying here, viewing the stars, and gathering around campfires for two nights. But as we approached during a dust storm and drove past an airport, cinder-block apartments and a small trailer park on the way in, our expectations felt outsized. When we arrived at well past 4. They told us to take a seat in the lodge for two hours, that we couldn't get to our site. No explanation, no "welcome, hello, thanks for coming, sorry for the bother, here's a refreshing drink in the desert while we sort out your room," just "sit there." We finally came to understand that their hosts used golf carts to guide guests to their sites and were unable to operate in the windstorm. We suggested we would drive ourselves. When we got to our site, we found a tent with iron beds, sheets, battery-powered dim lanterns, and a stove with kindling to keep it all warm. The deck where we were told was the only place to eat our own food and drink our own beverages was really two wooden deck chairs sitting in dirt to the right of the tent entry. The stove had a metal pipe that vented through an opening in the canvas. Throughout the night, wind and bugs would enter through a gap in that opening. We called maintenance to fix it and they came quickly but didn't have a solution--said that it was a feature not a bug. Overall, the first night was a long one: the bed wasn't comfortable, the howling of the wind, and the fire hazard of the whole stove-in-tent setup kept us awake. We were glad they refunded us for the second night. Two stars for the fresh sheets and warmth of the bedding in the middle of the desert. The lodge was pretty and people seemed to enjoy gathering there to pay for food and drinks but this was not glamping worth $300/night. read more

All of the staff was very nice and we enjoyed our tent stay. It was cold so the indoor wood stove was very appreciated. We enjoyed s'mores and played a few board games. The stars at night are unbelievable. It was a nice stay, but I wouldn't go back due to the price. read more

This is our second experience with Under Canvas. We were so excited to visit this location after having stayed at their Arches location a week or so ago. I was a raving fan after that visit. However... it's 11pm here in the Grand Canyon location. I've heard cars and golf carts continuously drive within steps of our tent every few minutes for the past several hours. Guests checked into The neighboring tent at 10pm. Not only were they loudly talking, but so was the staff member who showed them to their site. At the high cost of our room ($300+), Id expect there to be policies about noise and driving after 10pm. On a good note... it's consistent with the Arches location as far as cleanliness, friendly, attentive staff, location to the NP, and overall concept. Add spa services and tighter rules about noise after 10... and it's 5 stars all the way. Just expect it to be busy and noisy and you won't be disappointed. Or perhaps ask for a tent as far from the road as possible. read more

We'll be checking out tomorrow morning but thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay in a deluxe tent!!! The tent was great, private bathroom was cool, misters at the tent entrance helped cool things down and the amenities at the main tent were awesome!! Our family of four played board games, roasted s'mores and ate several meals. My only complaint, they need to restock their board games more often. Yes, their is noise as the tents are not miles apart and we awoke pretty early to noise/sunlight, but we were glamping so we expected it. The sunsets by the way from our tent porch were incredible and looking forward to taking in the stars this evening!! And the park entrance for the Grand Canyon was only about thirty minutes away. We'd definitely stay again!!! read more

See all

This was my very first glamping experience and it was magical. The tents are spacious, clean and have everything one might need (big bed, full bathroom, fire place, etc.). Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the food they serve was delicious. Exiting the tent during sunset and sunrise was an unforgettable experience. The views are stunning, and the porch is the perfect place to enjoy it. I highly recommend staying at Under Canvas if you're visiting the Grand Canyon or are exploring that part of Arizona. read more
