Under Canvas

My rating: ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑

I came across Under Canvas on Instagram and it immediately caught my eye. It’s glamping, or luxury camping, which has more amenities and services that are not typically associated with traditional camping. They are located in Valle, AZ, which is about a 40 minute drive from the entrance to the Grand Canyon, and they also have locations all across the U.S., with new planned locations coming soon.

Each tent at Under Canvas comes with a king bed – all bedding is included – as well as towels, shampoo, and body wash in all private and shared restrooms. There are no outlets in the tents, but they do provide battery powered fans and lanterns, and USB ports that can charge as least 2 cellphones. Remember, even though this is glamping, you’re still camping!

The campground itself has on-site dining (their breakfast is AMAZING), daily housekeeping, and complimentary nightly activities like campfires with s’mores and games. The grounds also have round the clock security. The tents themselves do not lock, but I never felt concerned about our belongings we kept inside the tent while we were away.

We stayed in their Stargazer Tent, which has a window right above the king bed so you can stargaze at night! This was a huge selling point for me and it was absolutely incredible and worth the splurge. Since the Grand Canyon is a Dark Skies Park, an area that has zero light pollution and is most ideal for stargazing, we were able to see the Milky Way Galaxy. This tent also has it’s own private ensuite and a wood stove to keep the tent warm at night (and believe me, it gets cold!)

Under Canvas is on the higher end in terms of prices per night, but I think it’s worth every penny. The experience of sleeping under the stars is priceless, and the fact that you have running water just a few short steps from your bed as well is why I give them 5 stars. This review was not sponsored, I just genuinely loved staying here, and can’t wait to stay at their other locations. Check our their FAQ page for more information!
