1. Under Canvas Zion

Why you should stay: it might look like a tent, but it’s got oodles of luxury.

• Nearest town: Virgin, UT
• Sleeps: 6 guests
• Minimum Stay: 1 night
• Rates from: $354/night

The safari-like tents at Under Canvas Zion are more akin to an upscale New York hotel than anything else. Unlike the usual stuffiness that comes with a New York high-rise, these tents create an atmosphere full of warmth and comfort. There are several types of tens to choose from that range anywhere from sleeping two to six people but the best one is, by far, the Stargazer tent. It’s ideal for a romantic getaway where you can view the stars while snuggling with your partner in bed.

Its remote location means you’ll have plenty of privacy and views to die for. The on-site dining means you don’t have to leave to experience a five-star meal. There’s also plenty of fun to be had outside the rooms including complimentary activities like morning yoga, kid-focused games, night music, s’mores making, and live music.

2. Secluded Canvas Tent

Why you should stay: creekside digs with WiFi — an often tough ask when glamping.

• Nearest town: La Verkin, UT
• Sleeps: 4 guests
• Minimum Stay: 1 night
• Rates from: $179/night

In a place that gets bombarded with tourists, find your own slice of heaven at this creekside glamping spot. The property is home to only two tents which means you won’t have too many unwanted interactions with other guests. Better yet, book out both tents and have the whole place to yourselves!

Start off your day with some River Rock coffee provided by your generous hosts. After adventuring all day in the Park, come back to your tents nestled under the large cottonwood trees clumped throughout the area. No need to bring stoves since two large ones are already there along with everything you need for eating and drinking. You won’t even need to bring wood for the fire pit since it’s fueled by propane. Don’t forget your swimsuit, though — there’s an onsite hot tub to rest your achy muscles after a day of adventuring.

• Nearest town: Virgin, UT
• Sleeps: 2 guests

Don’t forget the whiskey when you stay at Zion on the 9 Resort or you’ll regret it.

The ambient, red lighting will throw you straight back into the 1920s — BYO flapper dress, though. If you’ve got some musical talent, try your hands on the piano and play some good ol’ fashioned saloon music. There’s plenty of space to even start a small line dance.

But if socializing isn’t on your “must-do” list, there are plenty of other spaces around the property to get some space. There’s a beautiful sitting area underneath a pergola blanketed with grape vines. Or just simply head back to your tent. The resort has three luxurious canvas tents and a tent platform to choose from. You can’t go wrong with any.
