Situated approximately two hours from Las Vegas, the resort provides a camping experience and one of the only overnight accommodations options in the vicinity of Grand Canyon West. With its direct views of the Grand Canyon rim, the Glamping Resort combines the authenticity of an outdoor camping experience located next to one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of the World" with all of the comforts of a luxury resort. Every tent, wagon and tipi comes outfitted with plush bedding, heating and air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
A full bathroom with a shower is also included in the wagons; nearby restrooms are available with other lodging options.
Wagons are spaciously designed to accommodate up to six guests and feature enough room for a king-size bed plus a futon or two bunk beds. Tipis can accommodate up to six guests and also feature a king-size bed plus a futon or bunk bed for ultimate comfort. Lastly, each tent can accommodate up to six guests and includes a futon bed that unstacks for two individuals or combines for couples.
To offer added convenience for guests, the resort provides hot meals prepared in its gourmet food truck. Staple items include breakfast burritos, salads, sandwiches, burgers, ribeye, filet and grilled chicken from the grill. Guests can also add a gourmet chef to their experience for an additional cost. During the evenings, guests can take in the breathtaking stargazing opportunities outside next to firepits.
From families with young children to outdoor enthusiasts, the resort features a growing list of world-class adventures departing directly from the lodging area. Each adventure can be added separately to a resort stay, or all three activities can be bundled together for the ultimate Grand Canyon experience. Select adventures include lunch. Current activities available at the resort include:
Helicopter Tours: Helicopter tours take passengers on a 20-minute flight directly over the Grand Canyon, flying 4,000 feet above the majestic Colorado River. As the helicopter descends 2,500 feet, guests will find themselves in between the walls of the canyon for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All guests ages two and under will sit on the lap of a parent/guardian; children over two will sit in their own seat.
Horseback Riding Tours: On horseback riding adventures, guests will take in the beautiful scenic mountains with views of the Grand Canyon West Rim.
