Under Cavas Glamping

[Anonymous]

That sounds pretty rough. I don’t like camping, and I’ve thought about trying glamping, but I’m not sure I have it in me to try that either.

Rain, heat, cold, bugs, vermin. No electricity, communal bathrooms. Noisy kids.

Nope.

We stayed at the one in Lake Powell, and it was spectacular. You could hike right outside your tent. The food/drink options are surprisingly good, and they had live music. The young adults working there were very knowledgeable about hiking and trails. We picked a tent with our own bathroom and shower, which was a must IMHO. You can also book a separate kids tent. We would definitely do it again!

When you say tent with its own bathroom, do the toilets flush, or are they those compostable holes in the ground?

We've stayed at some significant owns. The tents and amenities were lovely. The one in Moab is right by the road and not in the best location so that I wouldn't return. The one in Yellowstone was also nice, but didn't love the location.

I haven't been to the one in Bryce, but if the location is good, it's a fun option.

highly recommend the lodges at Bryce bc you can easily just walk out of your room to watch sunrise over the canyon.

This. Their locations are designed to get you really close to a National Park without paying the high prices for in-park lodges that are sometimes old and lacking in amenities or staying in one of the park campgrounds with your own tent and having to use the freaking coin-operated showers. It’s not perfect but it really is a great compromise.

This. The options may be closer or in the parks but they haven't been updated in 30 years, musty carpet, threadbare linens, thin walls, dirty rooms, etc. Under Canvas is a nice alternative to have.

The toilets flushed (not a hole in the ground). The shower in the room was hot too, but you had to pull a cord while showering to keep the water running.

Do they supply toilet paper, towels and basic toiletries (soap, shampoo)?

Yep, all that is supplied.

OP- that is kind of what I thought- plus my family is really into stargazing.
