Glamping Under the Stars: My Stay at Under Canvas Moab

📍 Under Canvas Moab 13784 US-191, Moab, UT 84532, United States For my final night in Moab, I traded traditional lodging for a "semi-luxurious" glamping tent (more "wild" than "luxe," let’s call it adventurous middle-class). What a novel experience! A quick glance at the brand’s website revealed Under Canvas as a Western U.S. glamping chain with outposts near Yellowstone, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and other iconic parks. The brand boasts accolades like Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Hotels and Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 20 Resorts in the Pacific Northwest & West—impressive credentials! 🌵 Location & Vibe Nestled near the junction of Highway 191 and Route 313—just 15 minutes from downtown Moab—the site strikes a perfect balance between park access and town conveniences. The real magic? The starry desert nights (though the relentless wind ensures you’ll taste sand with every word). ⛺ Tent Options Choose from Suite, Stargazer, Deluxe, or Safari tents—all off-grid (no electricity/WiFi, but solid T-Mobile/Verizon signals). Essentials like battery-powered lanterns, fans, and portable chargers are provided. Higher-tier tents feature private bathrooms (Safari shares communal facilities). Pro tip: No food in tents (ants are relentless!), but sealed water is fine. 🔥 Standout Perks Staff were exceptionally warm, offering detailed property tours and tips. Freebies: Coffee, tea, popsicles, and nightly s’mores by the (gas-powered) fire pit. Live music (think folksy campfire tunes) and a cozy general store/coffee bar. 🎨 Daily Activities Twice-daily programming (yoga, live music, arts) puts many domestic resorts to shame—a masterclass in curated wilderness immersion. 📸 Photo Ops & quirks Some tents perch on canyon-facing steps—insta-worthy backdrops guaranteed. Wind howls through the canvas (charming until it’s not), but calm nights are pure serenity. Verdict: A wildly fun, sand-in-your-teeth kind of stay made seamless by stellar hospitality. Unforgettable! 🌌✨ #HiddenGems #Glamping #MoabHotels #UnderCanvas #AdventureTravel #OffTheGrid
