Under Canvas brings the romance of African safari camps to the red rock country of southern Utah. This glamping resort transforms the camping experience with spacious canvas tents that feature real beds, private bathrooms, and wood-burning stoves that keep things cozy even on chilly desert nights. It's camping reimagined for those who want to fall asleep to the sounds of nature without sacrificing comfort.
The property strikes a balance between outdoor adventure and resort amenities. Each safari-style tent comes equipped with its own bathroom, eliminating midnight walks to shared facilities. The on-site restaurant means guests can enjoy a proper meal without leaving the property, while morning yoga classes offer a peaceful way to start the day before heading into the parks. The staff consistently earns praise for their warm hospitality, from the welcoming check-in experience to thoughtful touches like placing wedding gift bags in guest tents.
Located in Virgin, the resort sits perfectly positioned for exploring Zion National Park, just a short drive from the park entrance. The setting offers stunning views of the surrounding red rock formations while maintaining a sense of seclusion from the busier areas around Springdale. This makes it an ideal base camp for park visitors who want to experience the magic of sleeping under canvas and stars while still enjoying hot showers and comfortable beds after a day of hiking Angels Landing or wading through The Narrows.
While the glamping concept comes at a premium price point, Under Canvas offers something unique in the Zion lodging landscape. It's particularly well-suited for special occasions, romantic getaways, or families wanting to introduce children to camping without the typical hassles of tent setup and camp cooking.
