Our trip to under Canvas at Bryce Canyon was magical! As a group of 6-two moms and 4 boys (aged 15) we had an awesome experience there. The tents and beds were clean, comfortable. The food was A+! Varied menu, high quality, delicious and the setting couldn’t have been more beautiful. I especially enjoyed the 24 hour coffee, hiking sticks and warm water bottles during our stay. The staff was so pleasant snd helpful. They helped us organize and navigate directions for hikes, zip lining, UTV and horseback riding. We will definitely do it again! Already looking to book the Under Canvas adventure!
My tent I occupied is well maintained and immaculate. It even boasts a bathroom complete with toilet and shower. The furnishings are simple and appropriate. It wasn't particularly 'glamorous' but for a tent it certainly was. It is heated by a small wood burning stove and there is plenty of wood available.
The staff is beyond fabulous. I was treated to a golf cart ride to my tent, the fire was lit, all of the amenities explained, and a hot water bottle was even delivered to keep my toes toasty overnight. That's being spoiled!
The location just outside Bryce Canyon National Park is outstanding, providing a tranquil experience and several activities for guests of all ages.
Highly recommended!
I'd give Under Canvas Bryce Canyon **4 stars** overall.
The setting is incredible, and staying here was one of the highlights of our Bryce Canyon trip. The tents are beautiful, spotless, and strike the perfect balance between camping and comfort. While there's no electricity, having running potable water and a flushing toilet made it a true glamping experience. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and the tent felt cozy and inviting. I honestly wouldn't have wanted to experience Bryce Canyon any other way.
The staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming. Many of them seemed fairly new, so service wasn't always the most polished, but everyone was genuinely kind and eager to help.
A few things kept this from being a 5-star stay. The tents could use a few more practical touches, like hooks for hanging gear and a small shelf in the shower for toiletries. I also requested extra washcloths, was told they'd arrive within 30–60 minutes, and they didn't show up for nearly 1 hour and 40 minutes despite multiple follow-up texts.
The biggest disappointment was the food. The prices were on par with what we pay in San Francisco, but the quality wasn't even close. The avocado toast and waffle were both around $16 and underwhelming, the breakfast sandwich was dripping with grease, and adding a few small pieces of tofu to the already expensive rice bowl cost another $7–9. The burger was decent, but overall the food felt significantly overpriced for what was served.
Despite those issues, I'd absolutely stay here again. The scenery, accommodations, and overall experience were memorable, but improving the food and adding a few thoughtful touches to the tents would easily make this a five-star destination.
Easily the highlight of our Grand Trek to Grand, Bryce, Antelope Canyon & Zion!
The night we stayed Under Canvas felt like time slowed down and at moments even stood still. They literally thought of everything needed for a cozy off-grid oasis. The people that worked there were friendly, hospitable, and overall enjoyable people to interact with. We particularly enjoyed Calvin. The other people who stayed there were all very friendly and warm as well. There was an immediate sense of connection and community as well as an overarching sense of gratitude for the space.
The food was incredible. Bonfires and snores were handled after dinner by the staff. The wood burning stove and stars at night were ALL the Vibe!!
Cannot wait to go back and stay Under Canvas again!!!
I'm really glad our family stayed at Under Canvas Bryce Canyon! We made wonderful family memories here. This "hotel" was really well done - from the lobby tent to the rooms themselves, you could tell great care and consideration was put into everything. Dog friendly, too!
The staff were really great - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. It was so comforting that there was someone at the front desk 24/7. You'll get a little dusty, but can shower off in the rooms.
The beds were comfortable and the in-room fireplace rather charming. We loved and heavily used the board games and outdoor area.
Was it missing a few things? Sure - we would have loved more trails, as well as more structured onsite activities, but those did exist - just mostly offsite. We took advantage of the family hike in the canyon, which was pretty fun, and did eat offsite one or two times - about a 20 minute drive to offsite food. But I rather liked the menu they offered onsite - sometimes the quality could have been a bit better, but we were happy enough with it.
Our family would stay up late playing games in the lobby and grabbing s'mores at night. The weather was beautiful - but deceptive! Warm/perfect by day, but it really dropped down at night. I'd definitely recommend the hot water bag in the beds. Made a huge difference!
We'd be curious to visit another Under Canvas site, but this one was quite pleasant with very few bugs, great weather, and beautiful scenery nearby. We had a great time!
