The tents are clean and well appointed, the bed was really comfortable, and we had everything we needed. I read (and chuckled at) some of the other reviews I read, so let me clarify something: you will be staying in a canvas tent. If it is cold outside, you will need to use the woodstove to stay warm. The staff is very helpful and they will show you how to start the fire, if you don't have experience. In fact, they will even offer to start it for you if you don't feel qualified. But I can tell you that it's very easy to start the fire, and there is plenty of good firewood provided. We have a lot of woodstove experience and knew how to pack the stove and close the damper to keep a slow smolder going for most of the night. It got down to 37 degrees F the night we stayed. We were chilly in the morning, but it really wasn't bad- we just put on an extra layer of clothes. And it warms up quick in the desert! We had a deluxe tent with a bathroom, which was GREAT. Highly recommend. Be aware that the shower is on a pull chain, like a military shower, so you won't have a constant stream of water, unless you rig something up to keep the chain pulled. There is a tankless hot water heater in the tent, so you will have warm showers and sink water. And there is a standard toilet.
The lobby area was well done and there were lots of books, board games, etc. They also provide blankets to use while making s'mores around the communal (gas) firepits in the evening. And they will provide you with hot water bottles to sleep with, if it's cold at night. The food was quite good (I was impressed by the vegetarian options- I had a falafel pita for dinner.) My daughter had a burger and fries. They have specialty cocktails, as well as coffee and hot water (with tea and hot cocoa options) available- coffee and such are complimentary but I didn't think the drink prices were too bad. The ambiance was really nice, and the live music was a bonus. Staff were helpful and attentive. I have zero complaints about our stay. Bonus was a morning yoga class, included with our stay!

We definitely got both. We stayed in the safari tent and it was so nice and cozy. The little details really made it great. The showers and restrooms are so clean and well taken care of.
The staff is so awesome and friendly. Mae welcomed us and showed us around. She's adorable and fun.
We loved the main area with the free coffee bar and sitting area. Breakfast was so good! And the breakfast burritos are quite large.
The evening singing and smores were just the perfect touch at the end of the day.
The only negative I have (and it's a big one!!) is that we don't have one in or around Kansas. I would easily visit several times a year were you closer.
Please consider it! I'll even help run it!!

Firstly, what a wonderful, unique experience to be camping in the Arizona dessert! It was a beautiful, well organised and luxury site with staff that made you feel at home. We loved our safari tent and enjoyed hanging out in the communal tent (where there is a bar/ restaurant/ daily activities, books and board games). The food and drinks were yummy and we loved the s’more’s in the evening while listening to music. The service was amazing, nothing was too big for them. Special shout out to Leo who went above and beyond. The site is a 20/30 minute walk from the Grand Canyon National park and there is lots of info on site to help you plan how to spend your time at the Grand Canyon national park. HIGHLY recommend Under the Canvas Grand Canyon. It was beautiful, serene and magical. Nothing beats time in nature and the stars ✨

The food each night is really good, and served in a communal setting . Music, fires and making stores fills the evening. With no electronics, TVs or iPads, it wakways early to bed and early to rise.

Under Canvas Grand Canyon - great place

The evening activities were really fun. Beautiful singer. Sat by the fire and roasted marshmallows. Can't wait to stay at another Under Canvas. I would bring puzzles and card games. Food was delicious.
