Under Canvas Zion

Under Canvas Zion sits on Kolob Terrace Road in Virgin, Utah, a short drive from Zion National Park's red rock canyons and wide desert sky. As one of the first DarkSky-certified resorts, the camp is built for stargazing, with a dedicated Stargazer tent featuring a night-sky viewing window above the bed and seasonal star parties on offer.

Three tent types cover different needs. The Deluxe tent has a king bed, private ensuite bathroom with shower and flushing toilet, a wood-burning stove, and a private deck. The Stargazer builds on that with its skyward window, ideal for couples. The Suite adds a separate lounge area with a queen sofa-bed, useful for families or anyone wanting extra space; a camp cot can be added for one child in any tent.

Shared amenities lean toward comfort without losing the outdoor feel: a main lobby tent furnished by West Elm, on-site dining built around local and seasonal ingredients, nightly fires with complimentary s'mores, and camp programming that includes live music, morning yoga, and kids' activities. Bedside USB battery packs handle charging, and the property runs on solar power where possible. Experience coordinators are on hand to help plan hikes or Zion excursions.

Dogs are welcome for a small nightly fee, making this a workable stop for travelers with pets. The property falls in the upscale price tier and suits couples and families looking for a furnished, structured alternative to tent camping near the park. Bookings run through Under Canvas directly, either online or by phone.
