Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

What a lovely place to stay! My sister and I brought our two very young kids and they LOVED all the animals and the open space to run around and play. Such beautiful views and easily accessible to hikes and so much more beauty! The kitchenette and bathrooms were well maintained and so appreciated. We were also grateful for the heater that kept us cozy during chilly nights. Highly recommend!

After years of tent camping and backpacking, we splurged for a night of luxury at Carrie Ann's property. The tent was spacious, bed was comfortable, and the views at any time of day or night were just perfect. We really appreciated the cleanliness of the the bathrooms and kitchenette, too!

My stay at Wildland Garden, was absolutely perfect! The tents were spacious, beautifully decorated, and offered the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. Waking up to stunning mountain views and crisp, fresh air made my stay unforgettable. Carrie Ann went above and beyond to make sure everything was spotless and well-stocked, from cozy bedding to little touches like lanterns and firewood. The location is peaceful and private but still close enough to explore nearby trails and scenic spots. I can’t recommend this place enough – the ideal getaway for anyone wanting a unique and luxurious outdoor experience!

We stayed for one night on a long cross-country trip, so our stay was short, but very sweet! Carrie Ann was responsive and accommodating. The glamping tent was cute, spacious, and comfortable. The bathroom/kitchen were a huge huge plus, and very clean. The property was beautiful and we had an incredible view of the night sky. I would highly recommend a stay here!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Carrie’s campground. Carrie and her husband were very welcoming and informative. They gave us some great recommendations and we will definitely stay here again next time we’re in the area. The amenities and the facilities were superb. We are very simple people and needed minimal things at camp. We also came across other campers during our stay and enjoyed each other’s company. This is a very peaceful and community-based camp, if that doesn’t sound like you, please keep looking.

Absolutely luxurious glamping site in a quiet space only a few steps off of Route 70! The tent was huge, comfortable, and felt very private. The shared bathroom/kitchenette was genius and very clean. Lovely property with great views of the nearby mountains, loads of singing birds, and beautiful little farm! Would recommend to absolutely anyone. :)

My husband and I had a wonderful and peaceful time at Wildland Gardens. The accommodations for glamping were exceptional. Clean and inviting wall tent space welcomes you to leave stress behind. . A fan, heater, and extra covers inside your space. You have access to your private grill. Carrie and Mike (husband) are down-to-earth, easy to connect with hostess and hosts. They go out of their way to ensure you have a good experience there. There’s so much more to say. But all in all, book to stay there! It is a nice getaway that leaves you gazing at the stars (and the Milky Way) and thanking God for stillness, nature,, good people, and peace..
