Glamping: noun, short for “glamorous camping.” And this was definitely more glamorous than the camping I did as a kid, lugging my own supplies and sleeping on the ground.
We were greeted with a warm smile as we approached the desk. From the check-in tent, we moved to a mock-up station that showed the various items around the property. Here, we got an explanation of how to use the lanterns, shower, sinks, and more.
The tent also had a wooden porch, accessible by claiming 3 steps, with 2 wooden chairs and extra firewood. Entering the tent required unzipping the outer, canvas flap and an interior bug screen. These could be rolled up and pinned to stay open.
Under Canvas Moab had far more amenities than we’d expected. Parking was complimentary for guests, available near reception on a first-come, first-served basis. The communal areas behind reception had several campfires at night, surrounded by chairs.
Under Canvas Moab had a strict no-food-in-your-tent policy to avoid attracting bugs to the tents. Additionally, there was no on-site restaurant. Some Under Canvas locations have restaurants, but the Moab property didn’t have one during our visit.
We found the service at Under Canvas Moab to be excellent. Our check-in experience was fantastic, including friendly service and a high-quality explanation of how everything at the property worked — plus where to find it.
