The beds were comfortable and the food from the outdoor food truck was really good! David and everyone in the dining dome was the best! Also, the yoga was very good!

Published Date: Nov, 15, 2024 Travel Date: Jul, 1, 2024 Rating: 4 Our family (2 adults and 2 kids aged 16 and 9) stayed in a Grand Canyon XL dome at Clear Skys for 2 nights and overall had a great time.
The location is off the highway 64 from Williams to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, about 30 minutes to the park entrance. Probably need to have your google maps or equivalent on to find it and hold your nerve as you drive down the bumpy road to get there!
The views from the location were amazing - great Arizona landscapes and amazing sunrises and sunsets.
The dome itself is also great for views - you can keep the curtain open for a permanent view and also the roof view open to see the stars from inside your bed. In terms of sleeping there was one large bed downstairs and then a small upstairs sleeping area for the kids with separate mattresses on the floor. Their feedback is that they have preferred an actual bed! The Dome itself has everything you would need in terms of working toilet/hot shower, AC/heating, electricity, lighting, power points etc. It is much closer to a hotel room than Glamping. It is quite well used with some cracks in the flooring but only to be expected given the environment. The only improvement I would look for would be if the AC/heating system could be quieter as that took a little away from the remote experience. One night we were there it got down to near freezing temperatures and it was just about warm enough, but not sure what it would be like if it got even colder.
In terms of the resort, they have done a great job with activities with a Bounce mat, kids playground, corn hole and live entertainment each night with free smores by the fire pit which we loved. There is also a food truck tent which we had breakfast and dinner at both days where the food was pretty good, decent choice and reasonable priced.
Have to of course mention the clear sky at night - not sure I have seen so many stars and that was amazing - I tried some night sky photos for the first time after being inspired by what we were seeing.
Overall a great experience that we won't forget - think 2 nights was the right amount of time to stay as it was nice to get to a more normal room for the next leg of our trip.

I’ll be coming again and bringing the rest of my family. The dome was very comfy, I loved the ladder to get to the other beds, the pillows were like clouds. The star gazing tour was amazing, I almost cried every time I gazed into the moon or planet.

6 star Desert glamping under a starry sky

Published Date: Nov, 10, 2024 Travel Date: Nov, 1, 2024 Rating: 5 We absolutely loved this desert glamping resort with sustainability as a theme. Slightly nervous on arrival as we knew the night temp was dropping to minus 7 degrees centigrade but we needn’t have worried. The domes are super heated or air conditioned so as to make desert living enjoyable and the welcome from Jordan, David and Elaine was as warm as Arizona sunshine.
We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent ‘cooked to order’ food from Victor in the food truck which we ate in the large dining dome. Live music in the bar/main dome as well as s’mores round the campfire, and highlight of the evening was Craig, local astronomer sharing his knowledge, enthusiasm and state of the art digital tracking telescopes so we could learn about the incredibly starry Arizona sky and were lucky to see Saturn! Blankets readily provided as a bit chilly! Back at our sleeping dome we rolled back the ceiling blind so we could gaze at the stars from the luxury of our comfy bed.
Nothing was too much trouble to our hosts: we asked for a kettle and it arrived at once. I think this resort would appeal to all age groups and the giant bouncing pillow in the grounds isn’t just for kids!
We hope to try their sister resort at Bryce Canyon next time.
Wonderful experience!

If you go during the winter make sure to request a blanket or two! No breakfast is not included but they have food :) They have so many fun activities that are included with your stay!!
