While I have no interest in camping, I have wanted to try glamping — and I am not the only one. It’s a trend in travel, and we’ve even seen many of the big players — Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott — get in on the game.
I stayed 3 nights at Ofland Escalante in southern Utah in April 2025. This property offers glamping experiences — think cabins and vintage campers — as well as traditional camping sites for those who would prefer roughing it.
As soon as we arrived, we headed to the front desk to check in, which was quick and easy. We were given a key and some information about the hotel, including a map and information about nearby hikes.
At the center of the property was the open-air lodge, which acted as a gathering place for guests throughout the day. Complete with heaters and fire pits, it was a cozy spot to swap hiking tales any time of year.
