Wander Camp not as Expected

I feel that this space is cute and an option If you have never camped before and want the experience, but for seasoned campers it doesn’t quite hit the mark - here’s why: the facilities just aren’t adequate in terms of bathroom amenities. As others have mentioned - more toilets separate from the shower stalls is necessary. Even pit toilets or portapotties …maybe propane burning toilets? I’m curious - wondering if there is some reason why they don’t have more or other options? Some legislation limiting the type or #? Only 4 toilets for 50ish sites doesn’t seem adequate and often people were having to wait as others did their business or worse yet had a shower. And for the price point per night I think it is fair to export more. It’s a bit far from the park so people were up and going as early as 4am to hike so again if this is your goal it might be suitable. Our party wasn’t in a rush to get out in the am so the car doors and vehicles driving by interrupted our sleep a bit in the morning. The tents are also closer together than we had expected so you can hear people talking. The little canteen wasn’t open when we stayed and we were told it is now closed for the season. Wasn’t a big deal but I was curious as I’d read the food was decent. In our experience the beds were not as comfortable as we had read in other reviews. The queen bed we had consisted of two single frames so made a lot of noise when one rolled over or shifted in the night. It also sagged in the centre. The tents are nice and spacious and decor is cute. I was surprised with how clean the linens were. The dark night skies would have been the highlight but I think I’d stay in a hotel (with private bathroom and other amenities) closer to the Canyon and just venture in to an area to stargaze.

2 and 1/2 miles down a bumpy dirt road

2 and 1/2 miles down a bumpy dirt road . The linens were clean but the floor was not. There were dirty footprints from the previous occupants. We woke up to big red ants in our tent. The shared showers were filthy and the floor in the entire bathroom was wet and dirty. I’m unsure if it ever got cleaned. The cook for the food truck couldn’t come to work so there was no food for the duration of our stay. Overall, I’m being generous by giving it three stars.

Off grid glamping, basic but lovely

We spent two nights here in order to visit the Canyon. Bed was so comfortable, and the tent was lovely. The facilities are very very basic, toilets and a very basic shower, but you are totally off grid so to be expected. Check in was very easy and friendly. Unfortunately couldn’t see the Milky Way as hoped but saw a very beautiful night sky. About 30 minutes to the Canyon, easy to find.

Quiet nights and amazing staff

Staying at a place like this was a new experience for me. Together with equipped tents, hot water shower and flushing toilets, you have everything that you might need for an overnight stay. The place is also super quiet and in the night you can see starts on the sky. But the best part about the place is its staff. Everyone was welcoming and very helpful. We had technical issues with our car and the staff members helped us to resolve them. The guys working at the place were amazing. Once again, big thanks for that! Driveway to the place is really an off-road, but you are warned about it in advance. There was no option to buy any food on the spot, but we were also warned about that before getting there. Count also with the fact that it can get quite cold in a tent during night.

Even in the rain it was comfortable!

The camp bed was wonderfully comfortable with plenty of fluffy pillows. It was quite elegant inside the tent. I arrived in a rain storm after 9:00 pm, but the staff was still there to check me in. The chuck wagon/ food truck gave me free snacks because I was so late. The restrooms, with showers, were near check-in, not close to my tent. They were clean and private. Three miles of dirt road from Hwy 64 to Wander Camp was well graded and not a problem in the rain.
