More details

Also
Given the outdoor – and largely undisturbed – nature of this camp, areas of the resort may be difficult if you have limited mobility.
Please note
Food isn’t allowed in any of the tents here, in line with Under Canvas’s Mindful Approach to your pristine surroundings.

Our favourite rooms
If you’re planning a romantic retreat, the Deluxe and Stargazer tents are ideal for two. Families can reserve a tent with an adjoining kids’ tent, so the whole gang can stick together.
Packing tips
Bring your coziest clothes – Under Canvas Lake Powell – Grand Staircase is a DarkSky-certified camp, so evenings (naturally) are spent admiring the night sky. Brush up on local legends or scary stories to trade around the fire pit.
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
Four-legged friends are welcome to stay in all tents, for $25 each a night, but must be kept with you (and on a lead) at all times. See more pet-friendly hotels in Lake Powell.
Children
Welcome; there’s no kids’ club or babysitting, but some tents come with an adjoining kids’ tent, and 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 Lake Powell – Grand Staircase has been designed to minimize disturbance, maximize open spaces, and flow with 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 electric car chargers are available for guest use. There’s no WiFi and electricity has been replaced with rechargeable battery packs, which power fans and provide USB ports; reusable water bottles are provided to cut single-use plastic, and the cutlery is biodegradable and compostable. The brand’s commitment to low light pollution and protecting the night sky are setting the standard in the industry, and Under Canvas Lake Powell is one of five DarkSky-certified camps in the group’s collection (and was the first, in fact). In addition, Under Canvas works closely with global non-profit, the Nature Conservancy, to educate and help mitigate the threats of climate change.
