Published Date: Mar, 23, 2025 Travel Date: Mar, 1, 2025 Rating: 4 Just outside of town and only a few minutes from arches and canyon lands. If going to the parks, climbing in big bend or on potash are priority for you this is far preferable to camping in the canyon or staying at a hotel in town. We spent a great long weekend doing just that. Having camped on big bend many times and previously stayed at the Element in town to have easy use of a kitchen and shower, we wanted something that met in the middle. There is some road noise but nothing outside of what you would experience camping anywhere in the area. The showers and fire pits, nightly smores and ease of grilling and cooking along with the friendly staff made this a place I’m sure we’ll return in future seasons.

Unexpectedly blown away by Under Canvas!

Left and stayed in another place with resort in the name and thought Under Campus was better - more comfortable beds and incredible staff and hospitality. We will now seek out Under Campus whenever we travel.

The employees went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we need. We also loved the community feel of the place, enjoying cooking our dinner, meeting other families, listening to live music, and more. We look forward to staying at another location in the future!

Unique and comfortable, but check the price tag due to the variability of your experience (out of control of property)

Published Date: Mar, 20, 2025 Travel Date: Mar, 1, 2025 Rating: 3 We checked in to Under Canvas on the first day of their open season in March. We had spent the day in Canyonlands where we had hiked in a blizzard (the day prior having been very warm) and by the time we got to the main tent, the winds were gusting almost 40mph and temps with the wind chill were in the 20s. Needless to say we chuckled a bit as the employees went over the “weather and safety waiver”. We were also told we wouldn’t be able to light the woodstoves until after dark due to the winds. We decided that, despite the fact that we were paying over $500 that night for a suite tent, we didn’t feel safe there with our 6 year old and drove back into Moab and checked into a hotel. We returned to Under Canvas the following day to much better weather, and loaded our things into our tent.
As I mentioned, we had a suite tent and it was near the back of the property. Views were especially gorgeous - directly into Arches National Park, the tent was clean, fresh, and well appointed, and the staff had done a great job of explaining how everything worked. Two comments about the overall property - it is on a main highway as other reviewers have mentioned, and despite our tent being near the back it was fairly loud. We had a portable white noise machine going the whole night and could still hear the trucks rolling down the highway, but not disruptive once you are asleep. Also, we did have to park a bit far from our tent which we weren’t prepared for (and led to multiple trips back to the car), but understand that probably helps with the views and noise/air pollution directly around the tents. If you are staying for only part of your trip, bring an extra duffle bag!
We arrived back to our tent after dark and attempted to get our woodstove going - it took a few attempts as our fire starters seemed a bit damp. The woodstove was nice to have, but didn’t heat the tent very well and left untended, went out after less than an hour. My husband stayed up as late as he could to keep it going, but there’s only so much you can do. Luckily, the beds (our king bed and our son on a sofa bed) were super comfy and well-stocked with warm blankets, so were comfortable enough once in bed. While our tent had its own toilet and shower, the water came on scalding hot (even after our attempts to turn the temp down at the propane heater) and so showering or even washing hands for too long wasn’t worth the heat.
All in all, we paid over $1000 for two nights, only to sleep in the tent one night, and not get to enjoy any of the “benefits” as advertised (in-room shower, some of the on-site programming). If you are prepared for this and this is the experience you are after, great! My review would just be to encourage everyone to weigh the price compared to the amount of control you + the property have over your experience (weather, etc) so you are prepared. I understand that during other times of year or in better weather, it would be a unique and enjoyable experience! All said, I got "cool mom" points with my 6 year old for sleeping in a tent, so all in all glad we did it!

Magical experience!

Our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens) stayed in a suite tent with a huge bed, a sofa bed, and an added cot. We had plenty of space in the most stylish glamping tent you could imagine, ten minutes away from Arches and just a few minutes more to Moab’s Main Street.
We came to experience nature and were able to do that in comfort and with total peace of mind. It was such a relief and revelation to be able to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the area even when some of us are not campers or even outdoors people. We felt very cared for, almost embarrassingly so, with hot water bottles and coolers with ice delivered to our tent. There is a culture of cheerful generosity with everyone on the staff. We are so grateful for our experience.
