About this property

You have spectacular views of the La Sal Mountains.

With one of the best views from any tent on the property, you get a spectacular view of the La Sal Mountains. While these can be seen anywhere on the glampground, you are front row and center to the magic. These mountains are home to Mount Peale which is the 2nd tallest peak in Utah.

Glamping Canyonlands is an off grid property that provides the comfort and ease of a traditional hotel. We have some of the best dark skies in the country so stargazing is a guest favorite. It's hard to find a place better to see clearer stars and the Milky Way on most nights. We have built a place for you to relax, a base camp for your Utah National Park adventures, unwind and have space to enjoy nature and breath.

Mountain Glamping
Our stay at Glamping Canyonlands was beyond 5 stars! We stayed in the Mountain tent and every single detail was thought of by Keshia and Eric to make it feel like home. The nights were cool and there were numerous blankets to help as well as a heater for the tent to take the bite of the chill away. There were spare phone cords and a large battery charger for our phones in case we forgot. The entire property was beautiful and it was so quiet at night that you could hear the coyotes howling at night. My fiance and I would 100% return on our next trip to Moab. We are telling all of our friends.

Campfire, constellations and comfy bed.
This was my first "glamping" experience and it was well done. The tents are set on platforms and the interior is nicely decorated and functional. The twinkle lights and LED candles really make it look and feel special. There is an campfire ring and wood to purchase onsite. The propane heater in the tent helps to take the chill out of the desert nights. We stayed at this property near the end of September, and the weather was perfect. The location is near the Needles district and Moab and Arches are not too far of a drive. The bathroom is a bit small, but totally understandable given that water is hauled and power is solar. This experience was like camping - only without all the bother because they have clearly thought out and taken care of the details to make it as welcoming and comfortable as possible. The French press coffee in the morning was especially welcomed. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Glamping done right!
Had a wonderful mid-October stay with my cousin during the covid craziness! Keshia and Erik were amazing hosts! They were very helpful showing us around and making sure everything ran smoothly. The views are magical and the stargazing is the best I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend this little getaway. The drive from Moab is WORTH IT!
