Raptor Ranch was an affordable glamping experience that is closer to a real camping experience. No electrical outlet so be prepared (other than a small USB to charge phone). If you don't know how to turn on a gas heater, you will freeze at below 40. Showers for glamping (2 next to each other) were very clean & new but there really is no point of having a shower stall when hot water is not available (trust me I had it running for 10-15min to give it an ample of time to heat up. Our family chose to skip shower for that day.
It is about 30min drive to the Grand Canyon and is great if you are just staying for 1 night without the need to take a shower. Avoid the scorching heat inside the tent during summer by driving to the canyon. Come back around 7pm to light up the fire logs (cheaper to buy at the local drugstore) + color changing packs, bring a projector with a portable battery to run some movie against the tent, and adult beverages to warm up at night.
Don't leave valuables inside the tent as there is no lock & make sure the hot waters are working for shower and you will have a pleasant experience. :-)
There are fun Flinstone themed fixtures inside the property to explore and animals such as goats, owl, and lama.
