Published Date: May, 6, 2025 Travel Date: May, 1, 2025 Rating: 4 The view was pretty cool. We opted for star gazing tent but because of clouds didn’t get to see any stars. Staff was friendly. Free s’mores (unlimited!), coffee and hot chocolate was great. Food was better than I expected. Staff running evening activities was kind. I wasn’t sure what to expect but overall it was a very cool and interesting experience. I don’t know if I’d stay at the same location twice but each location atleast once is worth it for the experience of it all alone.

Loved It

Enter Under Canvas. The tents were spacious and the bed was super comfortable. The staff could not have been more lovely— a special thanks to Kat and Shannon for all your tips and help! There is no wifi or electricity in the tent so you need to be wanting that type of experience, but if you are, this place is perfect. Peaceful, beautiful and full of people who are looking to enjoy nature while also enjoy basic comforts. I’ll be back!

Location means everything.

Just prior to our stay at Zion Under Canvas, we stayed at Grand Canyon Under Canvas. The latter was a disaster. Terrible location (in the middle of a plain desert field near an airport, 45 minutes away from the Grand Canyon) and the tents couldn’t stand up to the Wind Advisory we experienced that day. No sleep, and freezing. On the other hand, Under Canvas Zion was a terrific experience. Great location, no severe weather and terrific staff. They common areas could be larger and nicer, but as it is it is still worth staying. We stayed 3 nights.

Not quite "Glamping"...

My partner were desperate to have a clear view if the milky way (like in the photo) and the Under Canvas photos showed just that.
Having "Glamped" in both Asia and Africa, I can confidently say that this isn't quite Glamping. When we arrived, the host spent a couple of minutes explaining how Under Canvas wasn't a hotel and therefore didn't have a lot of the basic facilities you would get in a hotel...
The positives - great location (close proximity to Zion Park and all the cool experiences that Zion has to offer), friendly staff, good food in the morning and evenings. The not so positives - the tent has no amenities (no tea/coffee etc.), no heating which is a huge issue when the fire you have to build barely lasts in the cold at night, poor housekeeping (asked for tent to be serviced and came back with the bed still not made), lack of meal options outside of breakfast and dinner (there are basic sandwiches which you can purchase). Again, if it wasn't marketed and priced as a glamping experience, I would probably rate it higher.
