Clean, welcoming, organised, very close to the south rim of the Canyon.
The staff is super friendly, they have activities in the day and loats of board games in the lobby.
In the evening they offer activities such as “sip and paint” and “flower pressing” and “scavenger hunt”, my 10 year old loved them all.
You also have live music in the evening and s’mores!
Tent is clean and big, we had the shared bathroom option but each cubicle has a private WC and shower so all good there.
Definitely recommend this place.

1. no air conditioning. Being very hot means you can’t stay in the tent from 9am to 8pm because it’s too hot!
no electricity in the rooms ( they provide chargers for the phone but often not working because very old) !
Restaurant …. Very basic anly 2 nice tables …. All the rest of the tables are not nice!

Great Experience

The campground was nice and it was great to know we didn't have to pack up wet tents. Beds were so comfy, bathrooms were clean (though smelly!) It cleared just long enough to get dinner from the food truck, which was basic, but good. We have stayed at Under Canvas before and although we loved having a bathroom inside of our tents, for the price, this was much better.

Then we decided to book through TripAdvisor and boy that’s when things went downhill rapidly. We discovered that we booked one day earlier from when we wanted to be there and when we tried to change from the 20th thru 21st, and instead we wanted to check in on the 21st and check out on the 23rd so we wanted to add an additional night, you would think trying to spend more money would be an easy thing to do, not so with TripAdvisor booking. It turned into an absolute nightmare. We called the hotel. The hotel was extremely helpful very nice people, Cora and Liz. they said that they couldn’t touch the booking because it was made through a third-party and I said oh you mean TripAdvisor and they said no it’s made through Expedia who uses hopper travel app. Well, I’ve spent hours and hours literally on the phone trying to find my reservation and neither hopper nor Expedia nor trip advisor can find my reservation and at least eight times I was told we will put you on hold for 3 to 5 minutes while we figure out what to do here then they come back and they tell me I need to call someone else not them. Spent two full days, hours each day on the phone trying to find anybody who could find my reservation. neither TripAdvisor on the phone nor Expedia on the phone nor hopper on the phone can find my reservation anywhere. My credit card statement says $499 to TRIP ADVISOR but they say they can’t see anything. So the hotel says that they can’t touch or change my reservation because it was made by a third-party. They tell me I need to call Expedia when I call Expedia. Expedia says they can’t see my reservation anywhere. I need to call Hopper when I call Hopper. Hopper says after putting me on hold for 3 to 5 minutes we can’t see your reservation. You need to call TripAdvisor when I call TripAdvisor even though the reservation is in my settings, TripAdvisor still tells me they can’t see my reservation anywhere. And I never got a confirmation email from TripAdvisor, which they assured me they were going to send me. So right now we’re out $500 and we’d like to add a second night but there’s no way I’m gonna add a second night to this absolute disaster of an experience. Please avoid booking anything on TripAdvisor call the hotel directly. They were fabulous.

A fabulous place to stay and recharge.

Published Date: Aug, 7, 2025 Travel Date: Aug, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 Having booked this some time ago and having read the recent reviews I was a little apprehensive about our stay. The staff were so helpful and hardworking. The food is amazing and lots of options, including healthy tasty dishes that are fresh and delicious.
The tents were clean and comfy and so were the bathrooms. Charges are available and the staff were helpful in providing new ones when the others run out.
There are lots of games and the evening entertainment was great. The live music was a perfect way to spend an evening.
The evenings are cooler but the bedding was warm enough and additional blankets and hot water bottles were offered if needed.
We would definitely consider staying at other venues.
