Welcome

2024

Now more than ever, we believe that experiences in nature connect us to one another and to the planet in powerful and inspiring ways.

We take pride in our commitment to a Mindful Approach, which prioritizes sustainable development, renewable energy, and preservation of natural beauty.

Last summer was a year of expansion and innovation. We unveiled Under Canvas North Yellowstone - Paradise Valley, a beautiful riverfront location featuring incredible mountain views.

We also introduced ULUM, a new luxury outdoor resort brand with the first location outside of Moab, Utah. ULUM provides an elevated outdoor experience with a contemporary lobby lounge overlooking Canyonlands National Park, hot/cold dipping pools, a full-service restaurant, and our signature safari-inspired suite tents boasting evaporative cooling, Parachute linens, a rain shower, Aesop amenities, and more.

Looking forward, there are several highlights we think you’ll enjoy:  We recently announced the opening of our inaugural destination in California, Under Canvas Yosemite, for Spring 2025. Set in a mountainside forest just 10 minutes from Yosemite National Park’s west entrance, this idyllic camp will offer unmatched access to the area’s many trails, adventures, and iconic natural wonders.  In 2023, our Lake Powell - Grand Staircase camp was recognized as the first DarkSky-certified lodging property in the world. This is due to the camp's distinguished sky quality, which we have worked to preserve through conscientious design, operations, and education. Now, ALL five of our Grand Circle camps in Utah and Arizona share the same distinction, creating the world’s preeminent road trip itinerary for the growing trend of astrotourism. Throughout this season, we will be celebrating the incredible night skies across our uniquely beautiful locations with "We Own The Night," featuring stargazing, celestial-themed events, and more.

We look forward to seeing you at all 12 of our destinations.

Stay tuned for more locations to be announced. Welcome to Under Canvas.

WHO WE ARE

A Mindful Approach At Under Canvas, we see the Earth as our most precious resource and remain committed to a sustainable future where national parks and open spaces can be enjoyed by all.

One of the ways we uphold that mission is through our Mindful Approach, which comes to life through our responsible development practices, innovative design choices, resource conservation efforts, and adherence to DarkSky Principles. Learn more about our Mindful Approach below.

RIVIAN, ERIC RYAN ANDERSON

THOUGHTFUL INNOVATION Pioneering the outdoor hospitality space, we employ thoughtful enhancements designed to elevate the guest experience—through curated adventure programming, culinary innovation, and localized design aesthetics that reflect the surrounding natural environment.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION Our camps use significantly less water and energy than a hotel of similar size, due to the use of pull-chain showers, faucets that automatically shut off, low-flow toilets, biodegradable utensils, a towel reuse program, and more.

DARKSKY-CERTIFIED SKIES Five of our camps have been recognized as the first DarkSky-certified lodging

properties in the world, reflecting the company’s use of low-level lighting and exemplary efforts to mitigate light pollution and amplify the night sky.

LAND CONSERVATION Under Canvas camps—each with, undisturbed green spaces—are designed to minimize disturbance and maximize open space.

GIVING BACK TO NATURE We have joined forces with The Nature Conservancy to help fund conservation and raise awareness through education, volunteer efforts, and donation programs.

IN GOOD COMPANY We partner with brands that share our commitment to protecting the planet, and offer some of their products at our camps. These include EO bath products, West Elm furnishings, lululemon apparel, and electric vehicle chargers.

UNPLUG AND RECHARGE Wi-Fi is intentionally not offered to our guests, so that they can disconnect from technology and reconnect with others throughout their stay.

STAR-FILLED SANCTUARIES As the sun dips below the horizon, Under Canvas camps transform into gateways to the cosmos—as millions of stars, star clusters, and constellations light up the sky.

With many Under Canvas destinations within easy driving distance of one another, they provide the perfect starstudded itinerary. Visit several Under Canvas camps and discover a galaxy of celestial wonder.

Under Canvas Lake Powell - Grand Staircase became the first DarkSky-certified resort in the world in 2023—due to its uniquely remote location, exceptional sky quality, and innovative efforts to protect and preserve the night sky. Today, all five Grand Circle camps—Under Canvas Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell - Grand Staircase, and Moab—are DarkSky-certified and globally recognized as celestial sanctuaries.

This industry-leading achievement reflects our commitment to reducing light pollution and amplifying the beauty of the night sky for present and future generations.

NIGHTLY WONDERS At Under Canvas, you’ll enjoy an immersive and unmatched nighttime experience found nowhere else on Earth.

As darkness descends, the vast sky comes alive with millions of stars. Astronomy talks unveil the secrets of the galaxies, full-moon hikes invite serene exploration, and the simple pleasure of s’mores under the stars becomes a cherished ritual.

Peer through onsite telescopes for a close encounter with the wonders of the universe. Rejuvenate your soul with a starbathing meditation on the yoga deck.

CELESTIAL CELEBRATIONS

Protecting The Night Sky

M

ore than 80 percent of the world— and more than 99 percent of the U.S. population—lives under light-polluted skies.

However, the effects of light pollution extend far beyond humans’ inability to see the stars.

Artificial light at night disrupts the seasonal cycle of trees, kills millions of birds each year, and has devastated animal species such as fireflies, sea turtles, and bees.

In addition, an estimated five billion dollars are wasted each year on unnecessary outdoor lighting, and 15 million tons of CO2 are emitted each year from residential outdoor lighting alone.

To minimize these effects, we follow DarkSky International’s guidelines at each of our locations. When you return home, follow these steps to help reduce light pollution and amplify the night sky.  Use lighting only where, when, and as needed  Point lights downward to limit excess spill  Utilize timers, dimmers, and motion sensors for efficient use  Choose low-level, warm-colored lighting
