WIFI - Strong Wifi is available around the communal spaces. The Pod, Mountain Tent and Mesa Tent typically gets good Wifi but the others are too far to reach.

SAUNA – Available to our guests for $5.00 a session. You can make an appointment when you arrive.

WATER - We haul 400 gallons of water at a time so we ask everyone is water smart. Plus, this is a desert where we should be consider anyways.

The bathrooms and kitchen do not have outlets. There is solar power to run these buildings but not to run any personal appliances. We have limited Jackery Power Stations to rent to run a laptop and a CPAP. We have a VERY limited supply so if you are interested in one, please email us. There is no guarantee we will have one available. They rent between $25-$50 per day (depending on the size of the unit).

FIRES - The only fires allowed on the glampsite are campfires. No smoking of any kind allowed. However, we do allow smoking in the parking lot or in your vehicle.
*If there is a county fire band, no fires will be allowed. You may reach out to ask if there is one.

PETS – No pets allowed.

HEATING/COOLING – Each tent has a small portable heater but you will need to bring 1lb propane tanks. We do sell them if you do not bring any with you. 1 tank lasts around 2 hours on high or 5 hours on low. We provide duck down comforters and extra blankets so once you are in bed, you will be warm. Rarely does anyone complain about being cold while sleeping. There is no AC but we do provide small fans in the summer (June-Aug).
COMING SOON, THE SKYLIGHT CASITA will have solar power and will have an AC unit. This unit will have outlets, lights, a kettle and a mini fridge.

COMPLEMENTARY COFFEE/TEA DELIVERY – Coffee and tea delivery service every morning free of charge when requested.

BREAKFAST, ALCOHOL AND SNACKS – Available for purchase between 9am-7pm daily.

LIMITED LIGHTING - To help preserve our night sky, we do not have a lot of lighting around the glampsite. A headlamp or flashlight when first arriving will help find your way. Once here, there is a lantern inside your tent and solar pathway lights.

SUGGESTED PACKING ITEMS – Slippers, warm socks and beanies as desert nights are chilly. Check our Visitor Guide on our website for more suggestions.

Stargazing - Bring a telescope if you have one as the night sky is one of the best features of this property! No obstructions so you will have clear views of the brilliant sky.

Such a fun place to stay! Quaint, cozy, eco-friendly and lots of great perks (coffee tray delivered in the morning, device chargers, comfy blankets, etc). Just wish Mother Nature hadn’t provided a wind, rain and snow storm… A wonderful testament to the quality construction of the lodging - stayed perfectly dry and safe all night!

Excellent attention to detail
Weather for tent camping can be unpredictable. We had a loud thunderstorm and heavy rain, but the nicely-appointed tent stayed completely dry. I highly recommend this glamping site. Kudos to the owners.

Perfect spot for visiting Canyonlands
What a fabulous experience! Keisha and Eric are wonderful hosts. The tents and bed are clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. So nice to have a hot shower, flushing toilet, and hot coffee delivered to your door each morning. And the location at the entrance to the Needles district of Canyonlands is superb. Don't miss it!

Even through wind, rain, hail, and snow, Keisha and Eric were fantastic hosts!
My friends and I arrived on a windy night during the first weekend of November to sneak in one last camping trip before the winter weather. Well, mother nature decided to surprise all of us with +40-mile-an-hour winds, rain, and hail about 20 minutes after arriving at the glamping campgrounds!! Eric and Keshia quickly came to our tent to rescue us, helped us pack our things, and told us to hustle to our car to get a hotel in the nearby town for the night, along with giving us a full refund. My friend lost her phone during our run to the car, but the next morning we returned and Keshia had already found it- unharmed!! Even though it was a chaotic night, Eric and Keshia's positive attitudes and heroics made the night much better. The tents were cozy, well decorated, and even had some board games! We will absolutely be returning to their glampground on a less stormy night!!
