A World-Class Safari Camp Just Opened at Zion National Park

You like five-star tents and prehistoric hikes?

Windswept sandstone canyons. Emerald rivers. Expansive vistas.

If Zion National Park isn’t on your Top 10 list, it better be high on your to-do list.

And there’s no better place to knock it out than Under Canvas, a new luxury camping outfit pitching wood-floored canvas yurts with Casper mattresses atop Douglas fir frame beds (they’ve also got flushing toilets, heroically).

These guys have operations in Glacier, Moab and Yellowstone, and their new site sits on 196 acres just outside of Zion, one of America’s most picturesque playgrounds. Like a five-star resort, Under Canvas gets you to seldom seen spots in Zion, be it on foot, mountain bike, horseback, Jeep or even helicopter. And when you get back to your roost, there’s yoga and in-tent massages to help you unwind.

Their mess hall, Ember’s 4 Season, is a 3,000-square-foot tent plating succulent BBQ boar ribs at a massive reclaimed-wood communal table.

It’s a solid reason to hit Zion regardless of how many times you’ve seen the brilliant canyons.

And if you haven’t, we’ll assume you’re speaking with them about availability as you read this.

Just be sure to book now, because the season ends November 12th.
