Zion National Park, Utah.
1) Zion Glamping Adventures
“The Best Overall Utah Glamping”
Location: Hildale, Utah
Price: $125+ USD per night
https://zionglampingadventures.com
I chose Zion Glamping Adventures as the overall best Utah glamping site as it is not only well-situated, well-equipped and comfortable, but it also offers affordable glamping experiences for groups of all sizes. The glamping tents are nestled in their own private canyon close to the majestic Zion National Park as well as other Utah landmarks, and each tent is cozy, well furnished and ultra private. Zion Glamping Adventures can even organized other tours and experiences for you, like jeep tours, cattle drives, hiking and so much more!
Guest review: “We had an awesome time here! Fred and Shane are both super awesome people, really friendly, and really accommodating. They are continuously adding new features to their campsite. They own the mountain side and sounds like they have some awesome plans for the future! By the sound of it there will be places for everyone to stay. We stayed in one of the tepees with a queen bed. There was a couch inside, a nice shady tree area outside, a grill, and your own private fire pit with chairs. They also have a communal area which was nice to sit by the fire and get to know the other guests This location is gorgeous, the views at night are really great. You can see every star in the sky. If you go right down the road there is a 2 hour hiking trail called Water Canyon Trail (if you do the full loop it is like 6 hours) at the mid point of the hike there is spring water coming out of the rocks that you can drink. Seriously the best water I have ever had, it is extremely refreshing. If you also take a 30 min drive you can see some really cool coral pink sand dunes. I suggest having Fred take you out on the 4-wheeler! It was a blast. The other huge plus is that this campsite is centrally located between Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon. Zion is about an hour away, Bryce and hour and a half, and the Grand Canyon North Rim is about two hours. It is a really awesome spot to camp for several days and do day trips to each National Park.”
2) Escalante Yurts
“The Best Luxury Utah Glamping”
Location: Escalante, Utah
Price: $400+ USD per night
A stay at Escalante Yurts in Escalante, Utah, is worth every penny, and it’s easily the best luxury Utah glamping experience there is.

Guest review: “Do not miss a chance to stay here! I wish we had more time to enjoy these amazing accommodations. Our family stayed in the Cottonwood Yurt and it was AMAZING. Scones, fruit, breakfast burritos, quiche – not to mention the super comfortable beds and living space. We have to go back, no doubt about it! The area was quiet, well cared for and fun! Did I mention the view of the stars? Seriously – this is a fantastic place to stay if you’re in the Escalante area. Worth every penny!” – Carver Family

Guest review: “We enjoyed our stay here. The surroundings are amazing to just sit and watch the sun rise or fall behind the rock formations. The cabins are well set out and kept us nice and warm on a chilly night. The fire pit gets lit each night so you can sit around and meet your neighbors while enjoying an amazing view of the rock formations. Location wise its a bit out of town but that is great for some peace and quiet, not that you would find too much other than peace and quiet in Torrey. We would certainly stay here again.” – Dave
