Welcome

2025

Now more than ever, we believe that experiences in nature connect us to one another and to the planet in meaningful, inspiring ways. Guided by our Mindful Approach, we prioritize sustainable development, renewable energy, and the preservation of natural beauty in everything we do.

Last year was a season of innovation and tremendous recognition.

Our Lake Powell – Grand Staircase camp became the world’s first DarkSky-certified lodging property, and soon after, our four other Southwest locations earned the same distinction. Together, these camps now create the ultimate Grand Circle road trip, offering stunning landscapes and unparalleled stargazing. Again, this season, we will continue celebrating the magic of the night sky through our “We Own the Night” programming, featuring stargazing, celestialthemed events, and more. Meanwhile, ULUM Moab—our new luxury outdoor resort—was recognized by a number of top lifestyle, design, and travel publications, earning two MICHELIN Keys for its elevated outdoor experience.

Looking ahead, there are several highlights we think you’ll enjoy at Under Canvas:  The opening of our first California camp, Under Canvas Yosemite, in May 2025. Set in a mountainside forest just 10 minutes from Yosemite National Park’s west entrance, this idyllic camp offers unmatched access to the area’s many trails, adventures, and iconic natural wonders.  The opening of our first Pacific Northwest camp, Under Canvas Columbia River Gorge, also in May 2025. Nestled in a lush valley with a dramatic driveway that reveals breathtaking views, this location is perfectly positioned for water sports, apple picking, and visits to nearby breweries and wineries. We’re confident this new camp will quickly become a fan favorite!  The expansion of Under Canvas North Yellowstone – Paradise Valley. Due to high demand, this beautiful riverfront camp with incredible mountain views will feature even more tents.  The unveiling of new Kids Tents at select locations. These safaristyle tents feature elevated wood decks, Pottery Barn nightlights, and playful, cozy furnishing designed with our youngest adventurers in mind.

We look forward to seeing you at all 13 of our Under Canvas camps, as well as our award-winning ULUM Moab resort. Stay tuned for more locations to be announced. Welcome to Under Canvas.
