Star-studded stay

Setting

Hugged by hoodoos

On a high alpine plateau in southern Utah, you’ll find pine-fringed Under Canvas Bryce Canyon, an upscale camp that’s bringing home comforts to outdoor hospitality. King-size beds and wood-burning stoves ensure restful nights; then, trail-ready from your hot shower and restaurant breakfast, make straight for the nearby national park. Watch as the sun sets and the region’s storied sandstone hoodoos accent the pink skyline like spires, before returning to camp for seasonal fare and as many s’mores as you dare.

Our favourite rooms

All tents are tricked out with private terraces, but if you’re here for Bryce Canyon’s starry setting, constellation-spot from bed in one of the window-ceilinged Stargazer tents.

Packing tips

As long as you’ve got your star charts and a pair of well-worn-in hiking boots, you’ll fit right in.

Also

There’s no WiFi here, and you won’t find any TVs around, meaning evenings tend to be filled with stargazing and fireside music and s’mores.

Pet‐friendly

Your four-legged friends are welcome for $25 a night. Surrounding trails make for scenic dog walks, but please note that Fido won’t be allowed off the lead around the camp and can’t be left alone in tents. See more pet-friendly hotels in Bryce Canyon National Park.

Children

Welcome; there’s no kids’ club or babysitting, but adjacent kids’ tents and a programme of family-friendly activities included with your stay make Under Canvas an all-ages favorite.

Sustainability efforts

As part of the company’s Mindful Approach to development and operations, Under Canvas Bryce Canyon has been designed to minimize disturbance, maximize open spaces, and respect the natural topography of the land. Pull-chain showers and low-flow toilets reduce water usage; cleaning and bath products are selected to reduce damage to the environment, and onsite solar panels provide energy for use across the camp. The brand’s commitment to low light pollution and protecting the night sky are setting the standard in the industry – with Under Canvas Bryce Canyon being one of five of the group’s DarkSky-certified camps. Plus their work with the Nature Conservancy is helping to fund and raise awareness for conservation efforts and environmental causes.

If you’re heading off for the day, there’ll be grab ’n’ go snacks available to buy.

Under Canvas Bryce Canyon is set on 750 acres of land, just outside southern Utah’s national park of the same name.

Planes

International flights tend to touch down in either Las Vegas or Salt Lake City, both a four-hour drive away. If you’re traveling from within the States, there’s a closer regional airport in St George, which is around two and a half hours by car.

Automobiles

You’ll need a car around these parts: there are places to pick up a rental at the airports and the hotel has free parking onsite.

Worth getting out of bed for

Under Canvas Bryce Canyon’s guest experience coordinators are on hand to recommend and book expert-guided adventures for you, but days here tend to be filled with excursions around its eponymous national park, just 15 minutes away by car. Hiking trails are plentiful and most lead to the Bryce Amphitheater, home to the canyon’s hoodoos, storied for their looming stature and rich red hues. Most reach them along the Rim Trail, but there are fewer crowds and equally arresting views along the Mossy Cave and Bristlecone Loop trails. Early risers can head to Sunrise Point, the park’s northernmost viewing point, worth the wake-up as pink tones wash over the hoodoos. Tour the park on horseback and to see more of Utah’s sweeping scenery, take your car to Zion National Park, which is a two-hour drive further southwest. If it’s a dose of adrenalin you’re after, Under Canvas has guided canyoneering excursions that take you through the park’s slot canyons and down its waterfalls.

Local restaurants

Designed to satisfy pre- and post-adventure appetites, a regionally inspired menu back at base means you’re unlikely to dine outside of camp.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this hoodoo-neighboring hotel in Utah and unpacked their telescopes and Timberlands, a full account of their off-radar break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Under Canvas Bryce Canyon…

If you’re craving the outdoors, but the idea of camping has you running for the hills, allow us to introduce you to Under Canvas Bryce Canyon – an upscale take on traditional tents, bolstered by dining and activity options, and just 20 minutes from its namesake national park. Lots of layers and BYO sleeping bags are a thing of the past round these ends, where canvas tents are kitted out with hardwood flooring, plush king-size beds and cheek-rosing stoves. As peaceful as your private terrace may be, the rusty red tones of southern Utah’s Bryce Canyon are a stone's throw away, and its signature hoodoos (said to be 60 million years old) await your admiring. A welcome footnote to days spent ogling its amphitheater and riding the rocky terrain on horseback is the seasonal fare and s’mores that greet you back at basecamp. And as marshmallows begin to melt, look up and a blanket of constellations coats the night skies. This is the kind of camping we could get used to.
