We are a husband-and-wife team that purchased raw land in 2020 and have been building Glamping Canyonlands ever since. We privately own and operate a sustainable off grid property. We proudly run our business off solar power. We have a recycling and compost program along with happy pasture raised chickens and free range kittens. We work to reduce waste by supporting businesses that focus on the environment, health and using non-plastic products where we can. We use simple, clean, natural cleaning products. We do not use single use plastic and provide washable cotton paper towels and hand towels. We work with locals to bring you tours, pastries, breads and hand crafted souvenirs for you to remember your trip.
We have a mix of different unique units so there is something for everyone. 3 bell tents, 1 stargazing lotus tent, 1 safari tent, cedar pod, moon stargazing barrel, solar powered casita and an unfurnished high rise tent. We have 22 acres and we are currently using around 5 acres. We like to space out our units so there is privacy at every units.
We have a communal kitchen that is equipped to make some gourmet meals. Flat top grill, BBQ Box, pizza oven and a stove.
Communal modern bathrooms with hand towels and bath supplies are available.
Sauna is available to our guests along with coffee and breakfast delivery.
Late check-ins are available.
Located on private and rural land 40 mins South of Moab and 40 mins from the entrance of The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park (the hikers paradise park!)
Our land borders Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands and State Trust Lands which means you have a panoramic view of the desert landscape and dark skies.
We are surrounded by Dark Sky National Parks, State Park, Monuments and communities. Because of this, light population is almost non-existent.
We built this place to be an escape or a place to unwind from our busy and loud daily lives. Embrace the break from the daily grind and find space here on the open desert.
We opened to our first guests in October 2020 with only 3 bell tents, 1 bathroom and a kitchen inside a tent. Even though we have grown and improved the facilities, we are still a small husband and wife owned and run business. You will see us working and cleaning.

Weekend Trip to Glamping Canyonlands
We have never glamped before staying at Glamping Canyonlands. What a great find through hipcamp! Close but not in the crowds to explore The Needles District. Erik and Keshie’s thoughtful touches and witty humor made the stay fantastic! They really have thought about all the small details needed for a great stay. The ability to cook over fire or use the community kitchen (thankful for the french press), the showers/toilets, hammocks with shaded picnic tables. The kitties and chickens were fun to see and was great reading about their story on how they built Glamping Canyonlands. Stargazing at night and quiet mornings. We can’t wait to come back and bring friends!

I absolutely love this place! The vibes and aesthetic of it are perfect; Keshia and Erik have beautiful taste. The place was immaculately clean - cleaner than some hotels, and this is an outdoor accommodation. The facilities were always available and very tidy, full of any supplies you could need. The sauna was such a highlight and easy to book. There were even kittens and chickens running around, which added so much to the experience. Our space felt very private while being close to the amenities. Keshia and Erik make it look easy running this place! 100% will be back!

Weekend Trip to Glamping Canyonlands
We had a wonderful time. This was our first time glamping and camping in general. Beautiful well kept property. Tents were super cute and spacious. The weather was perfect and we slept very comfortably at night, no heater needed. Loved the little details with signage and lighting. The kittens and chickens made the stay extra special. Awesome location close to the national parks we went to Canyon Lands and Arches. I would absolutely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Glamping Canyonlands
Gah! This place is a dream. Every thoughtful detail attended to which made it such a sweet, cozy stay. I loved staying in the glamorous Casita which has an ultra cozy mattress and beautiful finishings and furniture. Spent evenings swinging on the porch swing and mornings with coffee and a book in the Adirondacks. Loved the breakfast options to add on; the shared kitchen and deck for hanging out are perfect for all occasions.
The hens were so friendly even wanting pets and to sit on me (which I loved). Two playful kittens sweetened the deal. Sunset strolls down a nicely plotted path takes you to the nearby mesas, and the epic barrel shower with the clear roof was icing on the cake. Can’t wait to come back next year! Such a special space with wonderful hosts.

Amazing people and wonderful location. Absolutely stunning views and the chuck wagon kitchen was super fun.
We had a medical emergency come up and made last minute changes, everyone was super nice and understanding about the situation.

Wow—what an amazing stay at Glamping Lands! The space was beautifully designed, clean, and clearly put together with care and thoughtfulness. If you’re visiting the Canyonlands and want a private, peaceful, and scenic place to stay, I can’t recommend this spot enough!

We highly, highly recommend Canyon Trails Ranch and camping in the Conestoga wagon. The site is beautiful and the hosts are great - very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, its history, and the indigenous peoples who called it home and still live in the area. The wagons and tent sites are surrounded by spectacular red rock scenery, with Ute Mountain and the Ute Mountain Ute tribal lands right across the road and Canyon of the Ancients National Monument bordering the other side of the ranch.
The chuck wagon kitchen is charming and had all the cooking gear we needed. The Conestoga wagon we stayed in was comfortable and cozy, with great touches. It fit the four of us just fine It was also very solid and clearly well-built by very skilled craftsmen (be sure to check out Rodney & Christy’s barn and the wagons and wagon wheels that Joe & Rodney build and restore!)
We loved being able to just hike up the hill above the site and be in Canyons of the Ancients in minutes - a real gem. Mesa Verde is great, but if you’re looking for something without the crowds, this place is where to be.
We also recommend the horseback rides that Joe and Jessica lead - we went on the 3 hour kiva trail ride, and it was worth every penny. It was very special to get basically a private tour of 800 year old (or older) archaeological sites. Joe was a terrific guide and helped us tenderfoots be very comfortable on horses while also teaching us so much about the area. Not to be missed.

We had a great time camping at Rodney and family’s site. The bath house was clean and it was great to be able to shower after hiking. The location is quiet at night and the stars are beautiful. It is also right next door to the canyon of the ancients.

Keshia’s place is so beautiful. The site walks the delicate line of providing enough comfort and still feeling so connected to the land and environment. They have put so much intention into the design of every detail, you can really feel it! I loved everything from cooking in the semi outdoor kitchen, to stargazing in my hammock at night, to taking a sauna at sunset. I felt so grateful (and lucky) to have found this spot!

What a very thoughtful and stocked glamping experience we had! We brought all our own gear and stayed in the high rise tent. It was great to have a structure to come out of the wind and sun where I could do yoga, read, and nap inside. The amenities were so well organized, the kitchen is absolutely packed with everything you need to make a gourmet meal. The only challenge was timing as there are many other campers preparing meals. It may be helpful to have an outside cutting area and counter space for the grills. The sauna was wonderful first thing in the morning and relaxed the muscles after a cold night. The location is perfect for access to Needles and Canyon lands. Oh and the sky was so lite with no lights the star scene is epic. We will be returning.

We booked 2 nights in the High Rise Tent and were thrilled from the start. Keisha and Erik have designed this place with so much attention to detail that we can absolutely recommend it. The sanitary facilities were above average, the kitchen was very well equipped and stocked with everything you need for cooking but perhaps didn't take with you on the camping trip (spices, tea, coffee, etc.).
The High Rise Tent smelled of fresh wood and wax and was a real highlight for us after a long time in a simple tent.
Everywhere you went on this glamping site, you could feel that Keisha and Erik had chosen and designed everything with love.
Erik's recommendation for a hike in Canyonlands NP was one of the highlights of our trip to America.
Many thanks to Keisha and Erik for this wonderful place to stay, the great atmosphere and the warm welcome. We will be back!

We were coming to the area for the first time and wanting to camp with just a few convenience's & we couldn’t have been happier with the high rise tent! It was the perfect shelter with the feel of camping. The grate on the fire ring was a huge bonus and made campfire cooking easy. The bathrooms were clean and love their reusable hand towel system! They had plenty more amenities on site but personally wanted to keep it close to the camping feel so we didn’t utilize them this time around. We couldn’t have asked for a better find…location was perfect for exploring Canyonlands & Bears Ears!
